The "real" story of The Man From Taured
The world of urban legend is one of the areas of the internet and the world prefer to live in. I love watching videos about UFOs and weird, mysterious things. I collect strange, mysterious stories like the Mad Gasser of Mattoon and other stories. One of my favorites, of course, is the supposedly true tale of The Man From Taured.

Voice talent Allie James discusses When the Night Comes Out
This woman is just amazing. Allie James is one of those people who just sort of came into my life and we just seemed to hit it off creatively. She gets my work.

Here was THE voice of my stories. For my money, she can be the voice of my work forever going forward. Out of the blue, she did this amazing

Excerpt: When the Night Comes Out

Below is an excerpt from the first short story in the book - The Elevator Game.

Why writing short stories is important
My latest book, When the Night Comes Out, coming out close to Halloween 2018, is a collection of short stories.
