If I could say anything about 2015, I really hope I get more of the same in 2016.

The way I see it, ANY publishing success, regardless ofContinue reading “Have a Horrible New Year”

Apocalyptic art
When I signed with Voodoo Press to publish my novella, The Eschatologist, I knew one of the first things I hoped to include was some internal illustrations to complement the story.

Rest in Peace Mr. Poe
October 7, 2015 marked 166 years since the passing of Edgar Allan Poe. A lot of people may ask why so many celebrate or remember an author who has been dead for so long.
