About Me

My photo
I write and live with my beautiful wife, Sandra, and sons (Solstice, Finnegan and Brahms) in a little-big house on a dirt road in a valley in the hills. My secret identity struggles through the grind of teaching high school English to the denizens of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

The Night Library


I am very pleased to announce that The Night Library, an anthology of 21 of my spookiest and best stories will see print by the end of next week and should be available as an kindle e-book in the next few days. I will update the blog with links as soon as they go live. Here's the back cover blurb:
Searching these sinister stacks you will find:
A church picnic at a haunted reservoir where only a twelve year-old boy is aware that something waits in the water...
A burnt-out teacher finds a friend... in his cancer...
The secret to surviving the zombie apocalypse...
An inoculation for Lycanthropy which may be more horrible than the disease...
Young lovers, that on the eve of World War II, partake of a most forbidden fruit...
A haunted carnival ride that delivers its passengers into the unexpected...
21 tales of night terror, night madness, nightmares, night woe and night wonder...
Welcome to The Night Library
Be warned: the late fees are killer!

Big things to come...

1. I wrote a weird horror story the other night and sent it into what is shaping up to be a killer anthology. I don't know if I'll make it in, but I'll still be happy. I like the story a lot, and it will fit in nicely with my new anthology, which I will self-publish very soon, which contains all of my best published and unpublished horror and weird tales. I will update as soon as I am done editing.

2. I am currently editing my latest novel: The Wardmaster. This one has werewolves, vampires, zombies, ghouls, mutant monsters, witches, jedi-like warriors, inter-dimensional cross-overs and motorcycle mamas. Yeah, it is a big sprawling epic, and I'm sure it will find a home soon.

3. The Vale of Shade should be done the editing process by the end of the month. Then hopefully it will be a hop, skip and a jump to publication. This is the sequel and the final volume of the Jotunheim saga which began with Test of a Prince.

4. Still waiting to find out where we stand with Hairy Bromance. I am very excited for folks to read this horror comedy road trip buddy extravaganza about a sasquatch and a werewolf. The novel is contracted, were just waiting for the editing...

5. I wrote a middle-grade book about twins separated by death, but brought back together again when they find The Door to Halloween. This is a heartbreaking fantasy, that for whatever reason I've shelved for some time. I plan to dust this baby off, give it a polish and see what the world thinks of this one, soon...
