Just Published

A big shoutout and thank you to the editors over at Deep Overstock for selecting a piece of mine for their Spring issue: Superheroes. I was excited to provide a piece for this issue as my grandfather was one of the artists who worked on the Captain America comics in the late forties. I’ve grown……

Inkslingers Anthology 2013

I have recently had two of my short stories published in the anthology, Inkslingers 2013: Memoirs of the Southwest. The book is a collection of works by members of the West Valley Writers’ Workshop and all have a southwest theme or setting. If you have a taste for short stories and poetry head over to Amazon……

When the Well Runs Dry

When working on my first novel, my biggest fear was that once complete that was it for me. That one book would be the only one in me. My career as a writer would end before it even started. At one point I think that fear even played a part in my procrastination as I……

Writing Update

This Monday I figured I would put up a post about where I am with my current writing projects. At the very least I figure it will help keep me on track. At the best I hope it gives some of my fans a heads up for what is coming. Undead Heart The final edits are……

Worry About Something Else

I came across a post from Author Nathan Bransford that made me think.

It’s a Sign

I wanted to congratulate my longest held friend Thomas Fatone on the publication of his new book, The Signs of Connecticut. As a native of the Nutmeg State I remember seeing plenty of these blue signs on various road sides. I also remember Tom talking about photographing all of them. Figures the city of our youth would……

Phoenix Comicon 2012

I spent the weekend wandering the halls and exhibitor space of Phoenix Comicon. I get such a warm spot in my heart when I see so many fans of comics, sci-fi and all things geek. How great is it that there is a place we can all make our pilgrimage to once a year, renew……

Twisted History Is Out

Twisted History, the latest anthology to contain one of my short stories, is out now on the Kindle store. All of the works in the anthology feature a different take on history, hence the title. My contribution is a little twist on the secret service, called Midnight Detail. To say any more would give away too much. I do……
