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…
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…
About 20 minutes ago I reached the end of chapter 29 on a novel I’m not calling First Born. That put me at 50,258 words, which made me a winner of NaNoWriMo for the third straight year. It’s been an interesting and enlightening month of writing and reading and listening to podcasts about marketing. When…

I would appreciate an honest review, but even that isn’t necessary. Unholy Womb has one review that is very negative. Considering how the lead story has been copied in multiple places…
Since my oldest daughter moved back home and I moved from the office I’d made in her room to my original space in this house, I’ve had a stack of old milk cartons beside my desk. On the top of that stack is a manuscript that has been called Bold Bounty since it was first written…
Is there a more controversial topic among writers than the dreaded one about publishing your own work? Probably not. As little as 10 years ago it was unthinkable for anyone aspiring to commercial success to even consider vanity publishing. Of course, back then it was pretty dang expensive, unless you got tied up with a…
Stone Thread Publishing has my novella Inheritance up for pre-order on the Smashwords site. You can reserve your copy right here. It will be available through Amazon’s Kindle on the April 1 release date. Also, issues between Stone Thread and Apple have been resolved, so it will be available in that format, too. But I could…
