Man, the roaches are big here. Okay, I love a good bloody horror flick. I will give most any slasher, possession, haunted house, or bloody-whatever a look. I get it, I'm easy. The current state of ignoring previous sequels and doing new films as a direct sequel to the original movie has become the big …

In “The Compound” With Robert Ford
From the publisher: Tartarus Federal Penitentiary is home to the worst violent criminals society has cultivated. It’s also a revolutionary modern-day fortress, powered by solar panels and built to be a self-sustaining environment, complete with dairy barns and green houses. It’s the perfect place to be when an experimental virus hits the American public, making …
Behind the “Blind Shadows” of James A. Moore and Charles R. Rutledge
In the past few years, I've been catching up on the horror authors who I missed. Among them is James A. Moore. His partner in crime for this tome is Charles R. Rutledge.

2012 kicked ass. Simple and awesome, it was one of the best years a person could ask for. The writing really started to get somewhere this year and there were some great things going on along with it. Over the course of the year, I had stories come out in six anthologies as well as …

Halloween is Near, So Let Us Coffin Hop!

Is Writing a Job?
I already have a full-time (plus some) job. I put in a ton of hours and sometimes when I get home, the muse is toast and it takes a great deal of rum to awaken it again. Every so often, by the time that happens, I'm asleep and my dreams freak me out. The muse …

The Year So Far…(and a pretty good one to boot!)
I started out the year with some modest goals while I tried to build on the beginning success of last year. 2011 was my first full year of writing and I finished the year with 10 stories in 8 anthologies. My goal was 5, so I thought I did ok. Raising the bar higher for …

Today it is my great pleasure to hand the wheel over to author, editor, and all around kick ass guy Armand Rosamilia. He is the editor at Rymfire Books and is one hell of an author. His newest novella, Dying Days 2 is now out and I found it a really fun read. So my …
