Meet Shawn Arscott - the artist behind the cover of Darkness Falls
Shawn Arscott is a big bear of a man. He and I went to the same high school. He has not always had the easiest of lives, and I think he would agree with me there. However, he has a strong faith, and repeatedly seeks redemption for the wrongs he had done in life. He struggles with constant pain, not to mention some mental health issues. For him, art has become therapy. His online Facebook page dedicated to his art is full of his works both in progress and complete. It's here w

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

So Many Short Stories
I just finished doing a second draft of a novel (my first psychological thriller) and I have a new horror novel, S.P.I.D.A.R., with Beacon Publishing Group.

How 'bout a series of horrifying short stories? Yep. I have been jotting down ideas for short stories for weeks now and am starting to write and publish them. The fir

Hey, Webster U Film Students - Here's an Offer
So, I am a graduate of Webster University in St. Louis. I graduated with a Communications degree and a desire to get into radio before eventually turning back to writing as my passion. What Webster had a lot of is theater students and media students who all thought they would become the next great film director. So, someone gave me this idea: reach out to your alma mater student paper and get them to promote the idea that any of their film students could reach out to you and
