The Wilburn-Thomas Award It’s been quite the weekend, and a full day since I’ve been home from Scares That Care: Authorcon VI. I’ve had some downtime to process the events of the weekend and what this award meant to me. I won’t get too far into my writing journey and how this has been my one and only dream since I learned to read as a child. Anyone who knows me even a little can tell you how true that is. They can also tell you how terribly shy I’ve always been, how I stutter

NOW AVAILABLE IN EBOOK AND PAPERBACK! HANK FLYNN: The Return In the early 1900s, in the mid-west of a young America, something evil is preying on small towns, leaving a trail of blood in its wake as it moves, unseen, searching for something older than the land itself. When tragedy strikes next, Sheriff Townsend has his hands full with townsfolk demanding answers, a young rookie as his only assistant, and a doctor that has more questions than answers. When a stranger arrives

Just when I think I might not have any more stories to write an author's note for, I think of two or three more. As odd as it seems, I haven't written a note about Bishop yet, so here goes. Some days I really wish that I had a bigger reason as to how my stories originate, or where their idea came from, but the truth is most of my work comes from conversations with my family and friends. Bishop came from a conversation that I had with my oldest friend in the world. My only f

Thresher by Michael Cole Audiobook ‘Could be the bookish love child of Jaws and The Meg 2’ Thresher was a lot of fun to listen to and grew wilder by the minute. Small town horror by the sea. Boaters become prey for a grossly overgrown Thresher shark, which leads to wide-spread panic, multiple bodies being washed ashore (at least, the parts not eaten), and a mystery to be solved by local police offer Leanord Riker, an officer of some infamy in his own right, who feels like a

Over the last year, I have been fortunate enough to be invited to, and accepted into, several volumes of The Horror Collection series of anthologies from Kevin J. Kennedy. Kevin J. Kennedy has published more than a dozen of these incredible volumes. Today, I'd like to showcase the ones that I am a part of and encourage you to check them out and all the others. First up, INSIDE THE INDIE HORROR WORLD, a non-fiction volume of advice, experiences, and wisdom from some of the mo

Cumberland Furnace & Other Fear Forged Fables Twilight Hankerings Can never go wrong with any story from Ronald Kelly and these two collections were fun, creepy, and full of moments that made me look over my shoulder. Cumberland Furnace and Other Fear Forged Fables contains seven tales that could only beat in the dark, diseased heart of Dixie…as the description says. This is another great collection from Ronald Kelly, one of the original pulp horror legends and these storie

The Tryst Book One of the Red Thread Saga by L. Marie Wood What is slipstream? THIS is slipstream: A moment in time… insignificant and fleeting for most, but for Nicole, Mark, and Eric, it is life-altering. Three strangers meet in a town they don’t know in a place they hadn’t expected to end up only to find that they are exactly where they were supposed to be… again. Love always finds a way. Through space and time, past and future, through lifetimes and storylines they were d

Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito I honestly have not had this much fun with a book in a long time. I’m a huge fan of Victorian-era books and this one nailed it for me with regards to capturing the language, the feel, the entire era. Beyond that, it was so utterly unhinged in its telling and content, that I was thoroughly riveted by the mystery within it every bit as much as I was amused by the main character and how deeply unraveled she truly was. The story follows Winifred

Out of all the books I’ve written so far, Shadow Manor intimidated me the most. I grew up reading gothic ghost stories, haunted house stories, ghost stories of all kinds and as a reader before I began writing professionally, I devoured hundreds of them, especially books by Lee Mountford, who, in my opinion, can do no wrong when it comes to a gothic ghost story. And now, here I was, about to try my hand at one, knowing Lee might read it. Knowing him as a friend and even knowin
