Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
Three days of spring break are gone and I have not so much as opened the file for The Girls Nobody Wanted to Date. My goal of finishing it during the break is looking out of reach. However, as soon as this blog is posted I’m going to get back to work on that one.…

I almost forgot about this review at Horror World since I got to read it pretty far in advance. It’s a really nice one. Here’s a little snippet to entice you to read all of it. Oh yeah, and buy the book. Little Graveyard on the Prairie flat-out ground my soul into a fine powder…

I only have about five pages of this book saved in a file, but it’s already been renamed several times. Originally it was called Joey. Then it was A Gathering of Wolves, which I thought about shortening to The Gathering. But there’s been another name bouncing around inside my head (yeah, yeah, lots of room).…
Finally! After more than 20 years, I have finished The Fetch. It came in at 106,200 words, which is roughly 30,000 more than it had when I returned to seriously working on it early this year. Am I happy with it? I don’t know yet. It still needs some work. I was developing the laws…

A while back I got to wondering about my short story “Reunion” and the movie deal with Blackridge Entertainment. So I e-mailed Dean for an update, and was beginning to think I’d fired another message…
