Pleased to announce that today is the release date for my new novella — SHILOH!

Shiloh is now available in a brand-new trade edition — paperback and e-book — from Lovecraft eZine Press…

What a week!

I was blessed to get married this past weekend to my girlfriend of thirteen years and spend an amazing weekend with family from all over the country, my son and great friends. I’ve just returned from a short honeymoon and can properly address some good news on the publishing side, as well…

I don’t fanboy much, but there’s always the exceptions, and this was surely one of them.

Last night I went to the historic Egyptian Theater in Hollywood for a special screening of the amazing film L.A. Confidential…

As always happens, I return from a gathering of writers inspired and driven to work harder in order to feel myself worthy of their gracious company and brilliant ideas.

The Outer Dark Symposium on the Greater Weird 2018 (or ODS ’18 to me) was one such event…

I got one of those Facebook reminder things this morning, and it sort of stunned me.

It reminded me that my debut collection, BEHOLD THE VOID, was released just over one year ago today (March 10, to be exact).

And as writers tend to do, I got sentimental. I thought of all the cool things that have happened to me as a writer, and also to that book and the stories within, since then…

Man, this is exciting. I’ve been waiting for this baby to hit for a while now. Congrats to Aaron J. French, and best wishes and hopes that DD’s hiatus is temporary and brief.

This issue contains my story ATEUCHUS, which is pulpy alien fun with some pretty horrifying twists. I hope you buy the issue and enjoy the story…

Coming April 13, 2018 from Lovecraft eZine Press: SHILOH.

SHILOH is a horror novella set during the American Civil War. ..

For years it’s been a lunatic dream of mine to write a story that caught the eye of editor Ellen Datlow and was strong enough to be selected as one of a handful of stories for inclusion in THE BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR series…

Cover Reveal for my upcoming novelette OVERNIGHT.

Unnerving Press will be releasing this story as a limited edition (60 copies) signed hardcover and ebook on July 16…

It’s been a crazy week of ups and downs. Dust is still settling on some stuff, but I’m working hard to get things aligned.

That said, one amazing thing I can announce…

As of today you can pre-order the limited edition, deluxe anthology, MURDER BALLADS, from Egaeus Press…

I have a new short story that you can now listen to for free via the TALES TO TERRIFY podcast!

Hey folks, welcome to my 2017 Summation / Brag Post.

Allow me to digress…

Christmas came early for me this year!

I’m so proud to be part of an amazing new anthology from acclaimed editor Aaron J. French and JournalStone Publishing. If this volume is anything like the previously-released, bestselling The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft, then you are not going to want out…

I’m absolutely beyond thrilled to announce my newest novella: SHILOH.

Now available to order from Mount Abraxas Press…

BookBub is running a promotion on BEHOLD THE VOID from Dec. 7 – Dec. 17. The ebook edition is for just $.99 during that time-frame…

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…
