In the end they'll all be dancin'--all them ones that didn't die.... Dance with me in the shadows amidst the lightning and the thunder, and all that nu-cu-lar debris. See the big bang from the other side, and then open that cellar door. Go down into
Grab those side-irons, saddle up and join former Civil War sharpshooter Luther Henry for a ride into pure terror, western-style…think ‘Wild Wild West’ meets ‘The X-Files’.
I reside in Colorado with my wife and our land shark dachsie Baxter. I come from Texas so my work is heavily focused there.
Background
Information
I write horror and psychological thrillers.
Up until last year, I had been working on my dissertation in Clinical Psychology however, like with many students, my coffers ran dry. My work experience was comprised of working with individuals with developmental disabilities and mental health issues. This has been a huge influence on my work. I have been a horror fan all my life and with the prodding of my wife, my mother, my father and my stepmother, who always thought I had a writing gift, I turned out my first whole piece of work…FISH TO DIE FOR.
I am influenced by such writers as Richard Laymon, Jonathan Kellerman, Joe McKinney and Ben Rehder to name a few. So far, I have only written the one novelette, FISH TO DIE FOR, but I am currently working on a novel set in Uncertain, Texas called BAPTISM, another novelette based on a disease contagion from goldfish called HOLE IN THE HEAD and also plan to write a story regarding the fear of insects called ENTOMOPHOBIA, The two novelettes will be published in print anthologies in the near future.
