And so it has been, my friends. With a new release, multiple events and continued work on my next novel, this summer has already been a full one. The next few weeks stand to be just as busy. Wouldn’t change a thing, though. #livingthedream

This past Tuesday saw the release of my first horror-related material in three years….

“From an oddities shop looking to expand their macabre collection, to a back roads bridge with a horrifying past, Let There Be Dark is a collection of eight sinister stories full of ghostly phantoms, savage beasts, and the most frightening creature of all: humans. This first horror collection from the author of the best-selling novel, Bone White, thrusts you beyond the fringe and reminds us why we should all fear the dark…”

Let There Be Dark can be found HERE, along with most other online book retailers.

This Sunday, August 26th, I will be reading from and signing copies of my mainstream novel, The Winding Down Hours, at The Book Loft in German Village. If you’re in the area, I will begin reading at 1:00, then will be answering questions and signing until there’s nobody left. So come on by and say hello! Find out more at their WEBSITE.

On Friday September 7th, I can be found peddling books and chatting up readers at the First Friday Arts in the Alley hosted by the Gahanna Area Arts Council. Shenanigans begin at 6:00 pm and run until 9:00, when the party may or may not be moved to a local drinking establishment.

In September, I will be invading Lexington, KY for ScareFest! It’ll be a fun-filled weekend full of all things horror, including movie stars, television stars, artists, authors, makeup artists, paranormal investigators and the like. This will also be the event debut for Let There Be Dark, so I’m excited about that. Should be a great way to kick off Autumn! Check out the event HERE.

After that, things slow down a bit and I should be able to focus even more time to my next novel. I continue to go back and forth on the title, so I will continue to keep it to myself for now. However, I hope to be handing it off to beta readers by the end of the year, so if you’re looking for a job with no pay and little benefits…

Til next time, my friends…
