The problems with changing history. A look at The Revisionists

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

What is the Mandela Effect?

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

Excerpt: When the Night Comes Out

Just 9 days until my new book When the Night Comes Out arrives. It's a collection of horror short stories (and one novella) and, I think, it's some of the best short fiction I have ever written and I am very proud of this collection. Below is an excerpt from the first short story in the book - The Elevator Game. A story about a game involving a tall building, an elevator - and the possibility of an alternate reality of nightmares. You can pre-order When the Night Comes Out an

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. The stories themselves were all published on their own and are still available for about 99 cents a piece and just available for Kindle. For some people, the question I sometimes get asked is, with all of the novels and the fact I am fairly quick at cranking out books, why bother with short stories at all. So, I thought I'd go through some of the things I love about

Insect Facts: the Tarantula Hawk Wasp

As I have mentioned, the world of insects is far, far more terrifying than anything I could write. It is a brutal world where almost all of the tropes of the horror genre are visible. There are parasites and parasitic wasps that can take control of a host and cause them to do what they want - turning them into zombies. There are insects that implant eggs into a host only for the young to hatch and eat their way out- bursting out of the hose like something from a movie. Then t

How my day job helped me write S.P.I.D.A.R.

One of the things I have written about before is that I am a 'working' writer. This doesn't mean I make a living just writing my books. It means I write for a living and, in my case, this means writing blogs, website content and marketing materials. You may have thought I spent my days coming up with the demented stories I put out, but instead I spend my days writing blog articles to generate leads and writing high-SEO content for websites for a large international corporatio

Eight Legs of Terror Comes Feb. 23!

Hello there! So, I finally got word back from the publisher about when my terrifying new novel, S.P.I.D.A.R., will be coming out. Originally, I had been told the novel would be coming out in all formats on January 8, but that didn't happen. I am guessing it had to do with the audiobook. Having produced a few audiobooks, I can tell you, it's always the audiobook. I have been told that the new target date is Friday, February 23, 2018. That is the day a new definition of terror

Suspense author Bryan Alaspa releases novel “too dark” for traditional publishers

Chicago suspense writer Bryan Alaspa continues to do things the hard way, announcing via his website and social media that he will be publishing his new psychological thriller novel Storyland under his own publishing label on Halloween, 2017. The reason? The feedback he got from publishing agents and traditional publishers said the novel was “too dark”, “disturbing” and “gritty” for them. “It was weird,” says the author, “several of them got back to me and the ones who provid
