We made it through 2001, let's hope and pray that 2002 will show the world more love, peace, and less hatred.

Tons of news from my end. The biggest is the upcoming release of "Restless Shades," a collection of my short stories - supernatural tales of lurking fear. This will be available from DOUBLE DRAGON BOOKS, in trade paperback and electronic format as well. To preview the cover, please visit the following URL ( look under authors ):

I would also like to announce the release of "A Halloween Harvest," a chapbook of previously unpublished short stories. This will be published from FLESH & BLOOD PRESS later this spring, an award-winning publisher who puts out an excellent magazine among other books, available in paperback from their website, PROJECT PULP, and in several book stores within three states.

My story "Companion" is up at FANGORIA, website of the nation's long-standing horror magazine. I am the featured November author ( although this broke late ), and this piece has received a Stoker Rec. Here is the URL:

TWILIGHT TALES is a reading group from Chicago, and also the publisher of many outstanding anthologies. They have weekly readings on Monday nights, and I am invited to read there whenever I am in town. I am featured domestic author for January, and here is the URL to read my story and article:

I have a lot of short stories circulating the market, with recent acceptances at ALTERNATE REALITIES ( 3 stories sold to this publication ), BANSHEE PRESS, PHOENIX FORUM, BLOOD MOON RISING ( 3 stories sold here too) , ABSTRACTS, and others.

On another note, I am now teaching another classe at the college, Personal Fitness. If anyone is looking for information to shed a few and stick to those tough New Year's Resolutions, I have enough fitness textbooks on my desk and stretching exercises to educate a continent. Just e-mail me.
