Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
Most interesting search term someone used to get to my Web site yesterday: wedel i’m in heaven Sometimes I wish I could track people down and ask what made them put certain words together in a search engine. As a teacher, I sometimes encounter parents who need to be slapped. This happened most recently yesterday, when…
My mom called the other day to give me a piece of bad news. Johnny Quarles died early Sunday morning. You likely haven’t heard of Johnny. He published his first novel, Brack, in the late 1980s. I went to his first booksigning and was wowed by the line of people snaking around inside Enid’s Oakwood…

I have not had this much fun writing in years! It was a very productive long holiday weekend. The collaboration I wrote about the other day is amazing. My partner is incredible. I do my writing just so I can send the project back and see what she’ll do next. While I wait, I have all…

First, I’m involved in a collaboration on a new book. My partner isn’t known for horror, so it may surprise many of you.…
