On February 8, 2012, I had my first radio interview with Richie Allen at iTalk Radio in Spain. It was a lot of fun. I was even asked to talk again in a couple weeks! I had a recording made of the interview and made it into a youtube video. Click here to listen.

I've always wanted to see my name on amazon and now it is! My name is in the splash next to the title. Rainstorm Press really did a great job with this anthology. My SF vampire story, "A Long Ride," is included in this book.

For the Static Movement anthology Shadows Within Shadows 2, my story "The Bravest" will be published in it. As the title of the book indicates, these will be dark, shadowy tales.

I've had "The Return" accepted for the anthology, After The End, another Static Movement publication. These are post-apocalyptic tales.

"Progenitor" AND "Calling" have been accepted for the Static Movement publication, Science Gone Mad. "Mad scientists! Experiments gone out of control! Portals to other dimensions cracked open by overreaching humans! Science gone mad, creatures created by blunders running amok, cautionary tales of “why doing wasn’t such a great idea in hindsight.”

I've had 2 stories, "The Bell" and "Colonel Snowman" selected for inclusion in Monster Gallery. This book is a big deal at Static Movement. "Horror writer John Everson has agreed to read the anthology and offer a blurb of promotion of some kind. Jeffrey Thomas has also agreed to read the collection and committed to writing an introduction. Everson and Thomas are fast rising stars of horror!"

My ghost story, "The Ride," set in West Virginia, has been accepted for Beyond the Grave. Description: "creepy, suspenseful and subtle – not gory...ghost, demon or supernatural story...haunted houses, the repercussions of people selling their souls, and ghosts with unfinished business."

For Static Movement's Static Poetry V, I have 9 (softer side) poems accepted. The list is "Believe", "The Keys", "I Dream", "Go", "Weep", "Try", "My Seven Deadly Sins", "Not For?", and "Rain"

Nine of my dark poems have been accepted to Static Movement's anthology Poems from the Dark Side Vol. 2. The list of my poems is “Snapped”, “Cuts”, “The Shadow”, “The Light That Shines”, “Dance with Lightning”, "The Pain", "In Darkness", "In Our Bed", and "The Empty"

"Phobia" has been accepted for the anthology, One Hour. “What can happen in just one hour? Someone's life stood on its head, ending of a life, changing fortunes, good/bad, job gained, job lost, one hour. Sixty minutes. In that time, what could happen?”

The anthology Make A Wish will include my story aptly titled, "Wish." ~We’ve all done it--wished for something to solve our current problems--daydreamed about “the one that got away” or the road not taken—thought of what our three wishes would be if we found that genie in the bottle. The key ingredient in these stories is that somebody makes a wish.~

My story, "Twelve Stones," was accepted for the print anthology, Dark Secrets. "What secrets do people keep ... how do they affect the rest of us?"

"The Devil's Toys" was accepted for the anthology, Dark Dispatches. UPDATE: I had two more stories "Battle Lines" and "The Dead Ground" accepted for inclusion in this book. These are "stories about war, real or imagined, here on Earth or elsewhere, in any time period--past, present or future."
Available soon!

"Zep Tepi" has been accepted for Incense and Perfume anthology. UPDATE: I've had a second story, "Day of Awakening," accepted to this. "A collection of Ancient Egyptian stories of magick and tombs and summoning the gods."

My story, "The Experiment" has been accepted for a print anthology, Tales of Salt and Sorrow. "Sea stories, old, new, pirates, modern day disasters, death and destruction among crew members, high life on the ocean waves which goes wrong."

"Upstairs, Downstairs" was printed in Ghost Magazine's Phantom Fiction column in Winter 2005. I have posted the two pages in my blog. Click this link to view them. Simply click on the pages to open them up for a readable view.

I have stories in two of the Haunted Encounters anthologies, 'Personal Stories of Departed Pets,' ("Too Soon for Corky") and 'Ghost Stories from Around the World' ("Business Un-Usual").

All of the stories in these books are actual accounts of experiences with the supernatural--in the writers' own words, as they happened to them!

For posterity (and for fun), I decided to add my story, "The Thing That Wailed" from my freshman year of high school (1977) published in the school literary publication, "The Indian War Cry." At the time, I was the only freshman to have a story published in the annual. I remember being rather proud of that. I suppose I should consider this my first publication (ha-ha-ha). Reading it reminds me of my growth as a writer.
