About me:



I miss my friends and family when I’m away but I need to hit the road every now and then.

I thought I wasn’t easy to get along with but it turned out that it wasn’t always me, and that’s a good feeling.

And yes, I’m a risk junkie who’d forgotten how much fun it is to take risks. It’s nice to have that back again.

And even though I still drive a ton, I’m cutting back on the traffic tickets. It’s really cramping my social life and it’s just too freakin’ expensive!

I’ve even cut back on the coffee while my other vices blossom and lead me into the kind of fun trouble I’d forgotten all about.

I still look back on so many parts of my past (including my failed marriage!) as some of the best times of my life, but I know that I have so many more ahead because every day is a blast in so many ways, with closing doors and opening windows all around me.

And I’m going to keep on telling people what I think and how I feel. Holding my tongue has never worked out, it’s only allowed the assholes to gain more ground.

I'm the lucky father of four amazing kids and I’m proud of every one of them every day. I continue to make it hard for them in a lot of ways, but I’m afraid these are our paths in this life, and can only hope that in the end Love really will endure. I think if you asked them they’d agree.

And I love to tell stories – ask anybody who knows me - especially true stories so if you read something I’ve written, even if I say it’s fiction, there’s definitely a ribbon of truth running through it. And if you think that’s you in my story, it probably is, and if you don’t like it, tough shit.

It doesn't necessarily mean I don't love you.

Hi.  Thanks for adding me as a friend.  The reviews are out for my vampire book, That Which Bites, and so far they’ve been more than positive (including reader reviews on Barnesandnoble.com and Amazon.com sites).  Thank you for your time.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:

“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.”
—Famous Monsters of Filmland

“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes

Just stopping by to tell you about Dope Thief, the new book by Dennis Tafoya. It is an amazing book, and I hope you will check it out.

Writing as D. H. Dublin, Jon McGoran is author of Blood Poison and Body Trace from Penguin Books.
Look for his latest book, Freezer Burn, in bookstores everywhere.

Well, spring is finally here, and my book release is less than three months away! Please join my email list (see front pg. of www.jjhebert.net) to receive my awesome newsletter, which I use to keep subscribers informed about giveaways, contests, book releases, and other stuff, like most recently--an announcement that UNCONVENTIONAL will not only be released as a paperback in July but also as a free serialized podcast, narrated by Jeff Kafer, an award-winning voice over artist! That's right, you'll be able to listen to each episode (i.e. three chapters) at podiobooks.com, jjhebert.net, and/or via your iPod. I hope you enjoy it!

As you may or may not know, my birthday is coming up on the 29th. Instead of gifts this year, I'm asking that everyone join my Email List on www. jjhebert. net. Unconventional, my newest novel, will be published by Mindstir Media later this year, and joining the Email List will ensure that you receive updates regarding my book release, contests, giveaways, and more.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you truly enjoy gathering with family and celebrating all that we are blessed with throughout the year.

To help celebrate the season, let me take you on a virtual tour of my favorite winery in New England. It's where Sin & Vengeance is set. Enjoy....

More updates will be coming soon but the gist of it is that it will become a readers resource where people can go to find out where they can find stories by Spec Fic authors. I've already contacted a few authors but if you are an author interested in finding a bigger audience with some free advertising contact me through the e-mail address below for more information.




thirteenhumansouls@yahoo.ca



This is a great opportunity for any writer with two or more publications under their belt, whether it be short stories, poetry or novels in the Spec Fic genre, as there is no other site like this on the net as far as I have been able to see.








Take care,



Brandon Layng, editor
