Who is Brian J. Hatcher?
Brian’s stories and poems have appeared
in publications such as the Kanawha Review, Weird Tales, and Legends
of the Mountain State. He performs live readings at conventions such as HorrorFind in Baltimore, and is an accomplished oral
storyteller. He has been active in community theater
for over fifteen years, playing a variety of roles on stage. He is a performing
magician who appears at private parties and corporate benefits for companies
such as the American Heart Association. His interests include carny performance (he is a trained fire-eater), stage
hypnosis, music, art, psychology, science, and exploring various cultures and
fields of human endeavor. Some even say he bears a striking resemblance to Dr.
Max Graves, a manager in IWA East Coast (an independent pro wrestling company based out of West Virginia).
It may appear that Brian has a variety of very different
activities; but in truth, they are all at the core the same thing.
Who is Brian J. Hatcher?
He is a storyteller. A raconteur.
Everything Brian does supports each other and ties together for one purpose: tell the story. Some are funny, some
are dramatic, some will break your heart. Some are
even frightening. But all are stories, and Brian tells them in many different ways. But in
all things, he is a raconteur.
Darling As my MySpace friend, I am including you in something exciting--I just won the SILVER SCREEN ACTORS SHOWCASE AWARD from the NEVADA FILM FESTIVAL for my new legit FEATURE FILM! NATASHA KIZMET: THE MOVIE! It has been called BORAT MEETS CANDY and I want your feedback, and the feedback of your MySpace friends! You would be doing me a big favor if you would post this comment so people would know to go the the "My Videos" section of my profile to watch the trailer and the other scenes I have posted. This is my market research as to how well we have done. The film is being shopped as we speak by a major film agent, and we are entering it in Film Festivals! This is exciting, and thanks SO MUCH for your help!!
If you want to help market the film, or get on the list to order the DVD when it comes out at a discount, email me at natasha.kizmet.the.movie@gmail.com
Also,my movie features a sequence with a Belly Dancing show that I did under my belly dancing alter ego of Raya--TEMPTATION OF BELLY DANCE. It has been called the most artistic and sensual live belly dance DVD ever!! Please have a look, and visit the DVDs web site!

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
