Big News Coming

Watch this space for a huge announcement about my next project, which will mark a foray into a new medium for me me along with a milestone 10th novel! I can't say what anything more at this point, but I will say the multi-volume, multimedia project relates to the image to the right.

Castle of Horror 12 - Ripped from the Headlines

The latest Castle of Horror Anthology contains 10 stories that have been "ripped from the headlines."

In my story "Caretakers," I provide the "true story" behind the 800-mile journey undertaken by a "perfectly normal" housecat from Yellowstone National Park to Roseville over the course of two months in 2024.

In truth, Rayne Beau is no ordinary cat. He is part of the secret society of Caretaker cats whose mission is to protect humans from the horrors of the supernatural world. His cross-country trek was, in reality, a two-month-long monster hunt.

Published by Castle Bridge Media, Castle of Horror 12 can be purchased on Amazon.

HERitage Volume 2 - Twisting Turning Timeshifts

This anthology asks the question: "What if?" The stories demonstrate how tiny changes can make a huge difference, and how major changes can shatter paradigms and forever alter the world.

My story, "Fission Point," ponders how the African continent might have changed if primeval Africans discovered nuclear power before fire. It follows the story of Africa’s warrior queen, Amanirenas, as she faces off against the Holy Roman Empire in 40 BCE at the same time that representatives of a nuclear-powered west African confederation arrive in the kingdom of Kush.

Twisting Turning Timeshifts is available for purchase from Bluetrix Books.
