Happy Halloween from my desk to whatever graveyard or house you happen to be haunting today. May your night be filled with fright and lots of treats. It is no secret Halloween is my favorite holiday. There's something about the month of October where all seems right with the world. The air has a chill …

Waiting for Things…
I'm horrible when it comes to patience. For example, when I was growing up, I always hunted for my Christmas presents in advance. I always found them and should have earned an Oscar nod for my 'surprised' performance as we sat around and opened them on Christmas Eve night. This is why I'm shocked I haven't …
2015 State of the Bookshelf Address
Hello readers, Today I come before you to discuss our year together for 2015. I've come before you in the past and I have brought good tidings and good news. I have typed. I have been accepted and I have been rejected (sometimes on the same day). Hear me, one thing has never changed and …

I Miss Short Fiction Writing.
I'm sitting here behind the computer and find myself lost. I've spent so much of my time the past three weeks getting Wicked Tales for Wicked People ready, I haven't worked on anything new. When I started off the year, the usual goal of ten published stories was pushed off. There are only so many …

The End.
Good news! I have finally finished the first draft of The Calling. It took longer then I expected, but it turned out well. Chronologically, this novella takes place before In Memoriam and will have ties to the White Creek novel I'm about 10k words into. When completed, it forms a trilogy and I can put …
Let the Character Win! Starring Daniel Durrant…

Enter the Imaginarium…
It is now official and I can announce I'll be a guest author and panelist at the Imaginarium convention in Louisville, KY on September 19-21. Nothing beats a weekend of books, beer, and cigars! Besides the schedule, I will have a table and the short story collection will debut there. Looking up and down the guest …
Still Alive…
Hey gang, Sorry about the long absence from here, but life has been a blur the past few weeks. I admit, I've barely been able to turn on my computer, much less write or catch up on the things rampaging in my skull. There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel …
