Evening kiddies, I just wanted to give a quick little bit of info. Last night I recorded a reading and discussion about my views on the horror genre with Austin Moss at whattheglasscontains.com.

The Journey: Novella Thoughts pt.3
Ok, let's go. See that guy next to these words? That's me. Well, 35 pounds heavier, but I assure you it is me. See that one book in front of him? Now it would be 13 anthologies with him. And now the solo stuff is coming. The pic is from Horrorfind Weekend in 2011 where I read …
To Pay or Not to Pay? That is the Question.
On Facebook, I commented about 'for the love of' markets. I simply stated that if one works, then one should be paid. The discussion over there has been very interesting. You can check it out here if you wish to join the fray. I stand before you now to clarify and explain myself instead of …

Words of Warning: Undead Press Returns From the Grave
This evening while at my son's baseball game, I received an e-mail from Tony G. at Undead Press. The e-mail asked if the story I submitted and pulled from Cavalcade of Terror was still available. He was wanting it for a new horror anthology. I politely declined and I left it at that, trying to …

Finding My Way in a Strange New World
Social media can be great to get the word out about stuff and to connect with others. Before this Internet thing, reconnecting with old friends, classmates, or new people was more difficult. Now we have Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and tons of other services under the sun where can communicate with others (I take that back, …
