I have my novella, Crueller, up for FREE over on Substack until noon on March 1, at which time it will be going in my store. I've tasted the secret family recipe, so some on over and have a little nibble.

My second novel was a fun one to write, despite the fact that I was really sick for a good portion of it. This one is my wife's favorite book of mine. #indiehorror #wendigo

I usually always have 3 on the go. I get a ton of ARC's, plus I'll always have a KU book, as well as a paperback up by my bed.

Get to know my books. Karaoke Night was originally written for NaNoWriMo. I had no intention of doing anything with it, but my wife talked me into sending it out to publishers and I was lucky enough to have it picked up. #indiehorror
