I write a lot of short stories (I’ll be hitting 100 finished short stories and novelettes later this year) and I am looking for a way to both get them out and share them with all of you. So I’m going to post some of them here, on this website, for free. This whole free […]
I made a mistake last year when I released Of Things Not Seen: A Ghost’s Memoir, Book 3. It’s the subtitle and the “Book 3” part that is misleading. Kind of. It is Book 3 in the series and features Jesus, the secondary character from Shuffled Off and To Be a Fool. It also overlaps […]
I love my ghost friends: JJ, Jesus, Banquo, and all the rest–they are so real to me. With three novels down and a fourth in the works, I must. My “A Ghost’s Memoir” world (Shuffled Off, Drawing the Dead, and To Be a Fool) with it’s SECI chamber (basically a typewriter for ghosts) just begs for more stories […]
Writers are strange. Their imagined worlds are often so compelling that the “real” world has trouble keeping up.

I love myths. I love the grand displays such stories can make. Heroes can be heroic. They can display courage and sacrifice themselves for the greater good. They can face their fear and overwhelming odds and still take action. And that’s fun to watch. Superheroes stories are modern myths. My latest superhero/love story adventure is […]
My new novel, To Be a Fool: A Ghost’s Memoir, Book 2 is here and I’ve got a huge sale going on! Well, partially here. The ebook is out and the print book will be coming soon (I’m taking preorders for it now). This book begins right where Shuffled Off ends, furthering the adventures of […]
Falling in love and saving the world… If you recall, I released the first episode in my Superhero/Love Story series (“Neutrinoman and Lightningirl: A Love Story”) last year. I’m still busy at work on it (two more episodes are in the pipeline) but in the meantime I have gotten the first episode into print. You […]
This is the second, and last, part in a series on my novel, Drawing the Dead. You can read the first part here. In the first installment of this series, I talked about the formula for this novel, or really for any novel. Now I will talk about inspiration. Writing a novel is a long process, […]
This is the first part in a series on my novel, Drawing the Dead In this installment I talk about the formula for how I wrote this novel. A behind-the-scenes look at the parts that made up the whole. Before we get started, here’s the blurb for the book, so you know what it is […]

I expect the novel to be out sometime in April. So, it’s time to make introductions. The Blurb First off, here’s the back […]
