I'm primarily a horror writer, although I have also written tie-in fiction set in non-horror universes. My original works (RIVER RUNS RED, MISSING WHITE GIRL, the WITCH SEASON quartet, THE SLAB) and original comic books (DESPERADOES, GRAVESLINGER, etc.) are almost all horror. I'm a full-time freelance writer, but have also been a bookseller (I'm one of the owners of Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego), a VP of Marketing, a Senior Editor for DC Comics/WildStorm and the Editor-in-Chief of IDW Publishing.  

I am the only author to have swept the "Best Original Novel" categories at the Scribe Awards (presented by the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers) for general fiction (Las Vegas: High Stakes Game) and speculative fiction (30 Days of Night: Rumors of the Undead).
True West Magazine picked my comic book series Desperadoes: Buffalo Dreams as the Best Western Comic Book of 2007.
