    2020 in Review

    Every year, I do a review blog where I catalog all the writing and festivals and horror-related activities I have accomplished in the year. This year, frankly, I just don’t want to. 2020 was a shit in show. In 2020, I survived. There will be a wave of blog posts this week, next week that…

  • Reading: The Waning (Excerpt #1)

    The word of the day is “inexorable,” which I swear I can actually say! Enjoy the beginning of my second book, The Waning, wherein I mangle one word pretty effectively.

  • Writing Real into The Rest Will Come

    Some writers invent entire new worlds full of characters birthed entirely from their brains. I am not those writers. Instead, I like to take something real, most often from my own experience, and disfigure it with my imagination into fiction. Perhaps it means I lack the depth of other worlds inside of me, but I…

  • What Savages is Really About

    Since this pandemic started (or more since people began reacting to it), I have heard multiple times, “Your book Savages makes so much sense now” or “I really see what you meant in Savages” or “It’s just like you wrote about in Savages.” The goal of any writer is to produce a work that is…
