I don’t really do opinion pieces. But every now and then I’m motivated – usually through an unpleasant experience – to open my keyboard mouth and yammer in 12-point font about something or other.

This is for all the Strugglers out there. You know who you are…

Forgive this post — it’s a bit self-serving but such is the nature of being an independent author who must market oneself and their work…

A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be asked to come on the THIS IS HORROR podcast, one of the premier horror podcasts and editorial websites in the world.

What was supposed to be a 2-hour interview became an epic 4+ hour dialogue about how I started writing, my biggest fears and inspirations, screenplay work and story structure, what I have coming up next, and much, much more…

I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t a big deal.

I know, I know. Be cool. But look, I’ve only been in the genre game a little over a year now, and the reality is I’m an unknown writer on an indy publisher – and guys like us just don’t get written about in places like The New York Times…

Very gratifying to see BEHOLD THE VOID in this wonderful list of summer reads…

Pleased to announce the official release of ALL IS FULL OF HELL: A Panegyric for William Blake.

This anthology includes my story KING MOB…

I’m very pleased to announce today, May 12, is the official publication day for my new horror novella, SACCULINA, from JournalStone Publishing…

Thanks to reviewer Dejan Ognjanovic and RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE for the fantastic review of my new collection, BEHOLD THE VOID…

This year’s StokerCon took place aboard the haunted, and quite stationary, Queen Mary cruise ship in Long Beach, CA. I was able to attend Friday, April 28 and Saturday, April 29.

Overall, Stephanie and I had a wonderful experience…

Hey folks — if you’re gonna be attending StokerCon 2017 at the Queen Mary in gorgeous Long Beach, CA (April 27-30), here is my schedule if you’d like to attend my panel, my reading or my signing…

Wow. Woah, man. Let me take a breath.

That was a tough climb! But look at this beauty…

Indulge me here, but it’s a pretty exciting day when your new book arrives.

These guys look and feel amazing. Handsome and high-quality. I’m really thrilled with them. Both the paperbacks and hardcovers are sweet to hold…

If signed books interest you or you just need to stop a mysterious leaky crack in the ceiling above your head – the one dripping black water into your eyes while you sleep for instance – I’m offering a limited, autographed FREE bookplate…

I’m incredibly pleased to announce that my upcoming collection of stories, BEHOLD THE VOID, coming from JournalStone in March, 2017, has been licensed for translation into Spanish…

Safe to say that 2016 exceeded every expectation for me. The support and generosity of readers, publishers and authors for my work has been staggering, surreal, and totally unforeseen.

My debut collection of stories, BEHOLD THE VOID, is now available for pre-order. It is currently available as a paperback or hardcover edition…

I’m very excited to have a feature interview in this month’s issue of DARK DISCOVERIES MAGAZINE (Issue #36).

TODAY is the official publication day for my newest novella, Fragile Dreams, now available from Amazon and direct from the publisher.

I am incredibly thrilled, humbled and honored to announce that I will be teaming up with JournalStone (www.journalstone.com) – publisher of amazing writers such as Laird Barron, Jonathan Maberry and Christopher Golden, among others – to publish a new novella and my first-ever collection of stories…

In 1999, I published a literary novel called THE EGOTIST. In the decade that followed, I wrote two other literary novels, forming a loose triptych of character-based stories…
