I sometimes feel I need to embrace that this page on my website–the one I alternately think of as a news source, mental ward journal, and horror aphrodisiac–is really just a blog. I know how that sounds, believe me. I have the intense urge to wash my mouth out with soap. But it’s true. This
Greetings, friends. I hope everyone out there in reader-land is finding ways to stay cool during this God-awful heat wave. For the past two decades, I have spent every single summer stewing in my own juices with no air conditioner to set me free from the heat. I’d do all I could to stay cool:
I was sitting here in my office, getting ready to work on my second novel, when it occurred to me: I haven’t posted a blog in weeks. This is not an epiphany. It’s something I consider nearly every day along with inquiries about strange growths on my head and research about elevated caffeine levels in
I forgot all about this. What seems like over a year ago–and maybe it was–I had a previously published short story picked up by Drabblecast for their horror/weird podcast website.

While I’m still jittery with morning coffee, I thought I’d post and let everyone (all five of you!) know that my debut novel SOUNDTRACK TO THE END OF THE WORLD is currently FREE on Amazon. The free promo started yesterday and ends today (May 1st, 2013), so get it while you still can! It’s worth

It seems I’ve let months pass between posts again. I could lie and say I’ve been hard at work on my second novel (The Shadows of Flies), but that’s not entirely true. I’ve only been easy at work on my second novel. There’s still much more to go. But I do have news. First of
Today, I have the honor of welcoming a good friend, Todd Keisling, to my blog as part of his super-fantastic blog tour. I don’t do many of these “hosting” gigs, so you know that when I do, it’s because I really dig the writer’s work. I was first introduced to Todd’s writing in his first novel, A Life
It’s 2013, and I haven’t posted here since October. I’ll admit, it was partly due to negligence, but mostly, I was burned out. It was the end of a two-month long blog tour (one that became increasingly disappointing in turnout and response), and I was more than ready to quit marketing my novel. I had given it my
Greetings, you slimy monsters of the deep, and welcome to this year’s Coffin Hop! We have such sights to show you! (First person to comment with the movie that this quote is from gets a free ebook copy of my short story collection, Welcome to Moon Hill (perfect for Halloween). And we’re off! But wait,
