Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
A few weeks ago I got an e-mail asking if I’d be interested in a promotion of my novel Shara. All I had to do was recommend five other werewolf books. I hadn’t heard of the person, or the organization he founded, but I looked them up and found out that Shepherd.com was a legitimate…
I learned what the dreaded “form-letter rejection” was. “Dear Author, thank you for your recent submission to Boogity-Oogity magazine. Your writing shows great promise but our editors decided this story is not right for us at this time.” It was maddening! What was wrong with the story? How can I make it right for you?
Twenty years ago, the now-defunct 3F Publications released my debut novel, Shara, which soon became part of The Werewolf Saga, and for a while I enjoyed the status of “the werewolf guy” among horror authors. Ten years ago, to make sure my dealing with Scrybe Press would end, I killed off most of the Saga’s…
In my monthly newsletter that went out yesterday I revealed three new covers for upcoming books. Today, I want to share them, with a bit of description, on my blog. The Broken Man The Travels of Jacob Wolf #1 A jilted lover is ready to throw his life away at the first opportunity of heroism…
I began submitting manuscripts in the mid-1980s. It was all horror. Mostly short stories; novel submissions didn’t begin until the early 1990s. I think.

Okay, now for the details … I learned of Hartwood Publishing by…
So, I’m currently working on a short novel (maybe novella) called A Light Beyond. I left a Western novel called Badger’s Bend to work on this one. Before that I wrote another Western novel called Orphan. And before that was a realistic — or mainstream — novel called The Teacher. What do all these (so far unpublished) works have in…
Here’s a PDF of the first two chapters of my new young adult horror novel Love Curse, coming June 7 from MoonHowler Press. It’s available for pre-order from Amazon (link in the PDF). Love Curse MHP 1-2 From the back cover … Keith’s mother is dead, but that doesn’t mean she’s stopped trying to help…
Sometime back Facebook’s Timehop feature showed me I’d posted about how many words I’d written that day on a young adult novel called Afterlife. The original post was four years old. I reposted it with a caption about how the book still wasn’t sold. Harvey Stanbrough, the man who once accepted my novella Inheritance for…
