This Christmas I have one more special thing coming for everyone. It's a novella because I have been into writing those lately. I find the platform interesting and sort of liberating. There are a bunch of story ideas I've had clinking around in my head for some time and I had trouble finding an outlet for them. It turns out, condensing the story into a novella is what was needed for most of these ideas. So, I have been cranking these short novels out pretty quickly this year

My new collection of short horror stories is out NOW. Click below so you can read an excerpt from one of the 5 horrifying tales of the supernatural - then buy a copy! #horror #collection #shortstories #horrorshortstories #scary #scarystories #excerpt #NEWBOOK

So, I’m going out on a book tour this August for my horror novel The Wraith. Of course, being that I’m shy and don’t want to be seen in public, this is another virtual tour. I love doing virtual tours because I get to visit a lot of places, get in front of a bunch of people and I don’t have to travel (I am afraid of flying) and not dress up or anything. Great, so I am going on tour, but I need tour stops! I am once again teaming with the fine folks at Silver Dagger Tours who

Today is the day, horror fans! My latest tale of pure unadulterated terror arrives in print & ebook editions today! The Wraith is a companion piece to my bestselling The Man From Taured.

In fact, the agents from IDEA are back and this time my fictional town of KNORR (featured in Sapphire, The Dead Phone and other stories) is under direct threat

My newest novel comes out one week from when I am writing this blog post. For those of you coming late to this post, this means March 19, 2019. The novel is called The Revisionists. The plot of the novel gets summed up this way: a brilliant, but disturbed, man invents a technology which can actually alter history. It's about as close as I will ever get to writing a time travel book. It was a fun book to write. With technology the way it is and learning about things like colle

Quick, answer from your heart and not from your brain. Did South African civil rights leader, Nelson Mandela die while in prison during the late 70s or did he get out of jail in the 90s and eventually become the President of South Africa and die in his old age decades later? As for me, I distinctly remember the day, when I was in college, watching Mandela released from jail. My friends and I watched this event happen on CNN and were amazed. It seemed like it would never happe

Over the years I have gotten to know a lot of indie authors who are like me. They either self-publish their books or work with publishers that are small presses. What this means for authors is that they have to do a lot, if not all, of the marketing themselves. When I have asked them what they have found to be most effective in terms of marketing I get told: 1. Email marketing - every author tells me that cultivating an email list and sending out a regular newsletter is the b

One of the questions I as an author get asked a lot is - where do you get your story ideas? I have talked about my latest horror book S.P.I.D.A.R. and how it came to be, but there are some deeper things that happened along the way. I mean, spiders are scary all on their own, but why create a bunch of fictional half-robot/half-spider creatures that do the horrifying things they do to people like in this story? I have personally been afraid of spider for a long time. However, i
