I am a writer, a novelist. I write in the Gothic horror tradition: dark and moody; someone once complimented me by saying my second book is "Sleek, sinister, and seductive." I've also been told I am a cross between Clive Barker and Anne Rice. A compliment, indeed.

My Hexology is listed below along with the (prospective) release dates.

Into the Mirror Black is about a haunted house; it was originally released in 2006 but a reissue with new edits and new cover art will be released in March 2010. You can find it at Waldenbooks, Borders, Amazon.com, Stormsong.org--for autographed copies sent to you, among other places. I have scheduled some signings, so I may pop up somewhere near you.

Angels of the Seventh Dawn, released in 2007, is about vampires, wereanimals, a series of mutilation murders, and magic. And there are a few sex scenes in the novel, so it may cause some of you to overheat a bit.

Angels of the Mourning Light, ready for you to read, deals with death--of course--and the creatures who come for you upon death, as well as one man's fascination with Death. It goes along with the first two novels in my kind-of-a series, being set in Western Maryland and continuing the saga of the Scarabae.

Shadows Amongst the Moonlight has the same feel as my second book; I return to the world of vampires, weres, magic, serial killers, and, yes, the world of sex. Look for it in October 2010.

Illusions of Darkness: The Forbidden and will see the light of day when I feel like it--joking. It's a collection of short fiction that deals with the somewhat darker side of human nature, and it is set before book number one. These stories are prequels of a sort: you will read about characters and events leading up to the events in my kind-of-a-series. Look for it in 2011.

Lair of the Scarabae will wind up all the threads of my Scarabae mythology, my Hexology. Be on the look-out for this one in 2012.

Outside of my Scarabae Saga, the first book will be titled Mourning Revelations and it is about what happens when the time comes for you to answer for a terrible thing you've done to someone in the past. Or Cursed, which is about brothers and the world of magic.
