"It'd creeped over the far edge of the rock, just a hand at first, long fork-like fingers gripping the dead animal like a doll. Then I saw the head, and it grinned at me, bright golden eyes cutting the darkness like two beacons. It was as though it knew I was there and had waited for the most opportune time to make its grand entrance and scare the piss out of me, which it did, but I hadn't noticed that until later.
"When I finally made it past the dreadful glow of its eyes, the rest of the thing's face came into focus..."

New Novels
Hi all,
Here we go, my first blog entry. I like the idea of being able to update readers with the very latest info regarding all my projects. Many of you have asked, "So, what's next?" With the fact that I actually have a good deal of readers now, the pressure is on to produce work on a regular basis, with, as far as I'm concerned, a greater quality. So, indeed, what's next?
Prior to writing Deep In The Darkness, I wrote a suspense/thriller entitled Sleepwalker. This is, in my opinion, my best work. I am VERY proud of this book. It's a long one, and at 120,000 words, will come in at over 500 pages. This novel, although a 'thriller', contains strong elements of horror (what did you expect from me?) and even some Science Fiction. I think you'll love it!
Now, when is it coming out? Well, the only planned version as of now will be released from Delirium Books as a limited edition hardcover. There will be only 250 copies, all signed and numbered. The expected release date is October. The artwork, being worked on right now by Alan M. Clark (who did the limited edition artwork for Deep In The Darkness), and should be ready by mid July. At this point, presales will be taken for Sleepwalker. Check back here for updates...with only 250 copies, we expect Sleepwalker to sell out pre-publication.
Now, as for the mass market...nothing is set in stone yet, but my latest novel, The Demonologist, is coming along incredibly! If you thought Deep In The Darkness was a scary read, wait until you read The Demonologist! I'm nearing the 75,000 word mark, with perhaps another 10-15k to go. I always edit as I go along, so my first draft is more like a third draft needing one more read through. I started this book back in October, so all in all, I am pleased with the progress, but I always wonder how far along I'd be if I had a bit more time to write! I figure to be done with this in August. This is one helluva scary book, dark, serious, and intense. Think Eyes Wide Shut meets The Exorcist. Although the book has a number of point-of-views, the focus is through the eyes of our main character, a rock star who becomes possessed by The Devil.
That's it for now...my first blog entry. Yay. Check back often for more updates!
