I planned to announce the new anthology I have a story in or maybe do the cover reveal for the Middletown omnibus, but there are more important things on my mind these days. Last time we spoke, we touched on our lives in the age of Covid-19. Everything about the world has changed. I've never …
The Horror is Real
Nothing in the novels we've read could've prepared us for the reality we live in now. All the movies about dangerous infections haven't made our lives easier either. Covid-19 has cut a deadly path across the globe and has led to the shutting down of life as we know it. Cities and countries are on …
Believil…CBS’s ‘Evil’ is Good
I don't watch a bunch of shows on television. Between my job and writing, I have to pick and choose what I take the time to watch. Surprisingly, most of what I view is dark or horror based. I have been disappointed on so many levels by so many shows. One show I revere and …
The End Begins Here
The idea of Southern Devils goes back to the beginning of my literary journey. I wrote a short story called, "Stonewall", and had it accepted by multiple presses. It seemed whatever press accepted it would fold before it was published. The story became a running joke between a few of us, but I never gave …
Fall is Here! This is not a Drill!
You have to love when people decide to break out the spray paint to put random stuff on random walkways. The last gasps of summer are here. While the heat is on-and-off, it is fading away. The nights are getting cool and crisp. The leaves are falling. They decided not to change this year and …
All Our Fingers and All Our Toes
I hope everyone here in the US had a nice July 4th. The dog really didn't freak out about the fireworks like I thought he would. Maybe they didn't sound as close as the thunder that turns him into a trembling wreck. I'll take that as a win in my book. I also hope everybody …
The Ritual
Ritual and superstition are a part of a lot of people's lives. Rather it be a baseball player who never changes batting gloves to the student who taps their pencil on the desk three times before taking a test; we all have some sort of weird thing we do to help us do our daily …
The Grind 2: Escape
Many have called writing an escape from the grind of the real. I agree with the assessment wholeheartedly. At the end of a ten hour shift, I enjoy sitting down behind the keyboard to unwind. Granted, I've become a victim of the grind lately and haven't been putting in the time I need to finish …
The Grind: Part 1
Here we are...the grind. This has been one of the most productive times I've had in my career as a writer. Dragonflies, my new White Creek novel, is in the hands of the pre-readers and I'm about 1/3rd of the way through the next chapter in my corner of the Dying Days universe. The only thing I've …
The Dead Still Speak
Work is wrapping up on Dragonflies. I've reached the last few thousand words and White Creek is in for a hell of an ending. Once I finish, it'll be put away for a couple of weeks and editing will begin after that. In the mean time, I want to announce the next project. I will …
