I write stories of horror and I want to scare the hell out of you.

What’s to blame for this strange obsession? A character is the sum total of his or her past experiences and the same rule applies to a flesh and bone writer. So part of the answer can be found in boyhood. I grew up in the kind of slowly frightening little town that had two stores that sold cowboy boots and one high school. It was a memorable childhood and, within my work, you’ll learn a lot about it.

My first novel, The Things We Crave, is was available at Amazon and other book stores. My screenplay The Ship was optioned and I was the writer for EMotion Pictures’ movie Stillwater. As far as I know, both The Ship and Stillwater are in some stage of pre-production. (The writer doesn’t get invited to meetings…)

When not working, I play a Stratocaster guitar and drive a slick car named TimeLord. I’m a student of greatness, mentor to some and friend to many. It’s a good life and I’m psyched you’re part of it. I have only one request: Don’t be an anonymous visitor. Leave a comment. I’ll respond.  All for now – scare you later.
