Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
“Why do you write about ghosts and demons and werewolves and darkness?” This question comes up a lot. It’s been on my mind more than usual lately because of an incident at the school where a new teacher who was shown my classroom asked my daughter in front of her class if we worship the…
I’m hoping to see and meet a lot of new people this summer as I attend a couple of conventions and speak at several libraries. The first stop is three days at SoonerCon beginning this Friday. Here my SoonerCon schedule: Friday 3PM Legacy of the Silver Scream: The Horror Film, Then and Now Friday 4PM…
Yesterday on Oklahoma Live, broadcast by KSBI TV, I announced who will take on publication of The Werewolf Saga.

This is great. Mostly. I’ve looked forward to this, believing that readers who like After Obsession will…
Well, it was time to report back to work last week. Not just the as-needed excursions I’d been making off and on all summer, but back to school for real. Students return this coming Thursday.

So, the other day the Horror Writers Association announced the preliminary ballot for the 2009 Bram Stoker Awards. I’m very pleased to note that my own Little Graveyard on the Prairie is one of several Bad Moon Books titles that made it to this stage of the process. To celebrate the event, Bad Moon Books…
