Last night I received the incredible news my new collection of horror short stories, Behind the Shadows, has been accepted for publication! This one is my most meaningful achievement to date, as I have loved horror since I was a wee young thing and made it my mission at age 12 in 1982 reading the Stephen King paperbacks my grandfather bought me to become a horror author.

I have taken many paths in my writing career including horror film coverage for magazines and sites and I had a total blast with my first assignment for Rue Morgue mag last week. Yet finally getting the first book of my horror fiction out there is the most gratifying moment of my writing career so far. I celebrated with a befitting toast of Zombie Dust IPA, its ghoulish packaging art provided by comic book legend, Tim Seeley. It just felt right.

I will once again be published by Raw Earth Ink. I will keep y’all informed as Behind the Shadows comes to haunt the masses…
