What is Hellhound all about anyway?

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

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

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

What is psychological suspense?

My new novel, Storyland, is a thriller. In fact, I call it a psychological thriller or psychological suspense novel. That sounds great, you may think, but what the hell does that mean? Is it scary? Is it a horror novel? For me, the best tales of terror are the ones that creep up on you. Yes, I still have fun seeing the slasher films and the movies where things jump out of the screen at you. I just saw IT and it is one of the best horror movies I have seen in a long time and i

Where do stories come from?

The main theme of my new novel Storyland is discussing where stories come from. Of course, as a writer, I wonder where the "stories" come from. However, I think this is a question that can be extended into other creative pursuits. Where do paintings come from? Where do songs come from? Where do [fill in the blank] come from? We creative types have brains that I feel work differently from others and I love watching the creative process in someone composing a song, poem, or pai

On Writing: about the dark stuff

My new novel Storyland (available for pre-order now in print & Kindle formats- FYI) delves into some of the darkest territory I have yet to write about. I can't give too much away without giving away the ending, of course, but I can tell you a little. Our narrator, a guy named Ned, wakes up one day to find out his friend from childhood, Martin Brace, has brutally butchered four people who were camping in the woods - leaving just a young boy alive. This sends Ned down some ver

When memory plays tricks

Memory is a weird thing. That is a topic explored at length in my new psychological suspense novel Storyland. In fact, its key to the entire plot. What do you think? Is your memory solid or does it play tricks with you? There was a school of thought for a long time that eye witnesses were the best source of evidence in a crime. These days, cops know that this is far from the truth. Rather than being a tablet written in stone, for most of us, our memories are really like clay.
