GeneralI consider myself a postmodernist. I love all genres and consider Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Peter Straub, Clive Barker and Dashiell Hammett my literary Charons. I love comic books, read voraciously about pop culture, and try not to get bogged down in politics.
MusicWide open from Folk to Heavy Metal to Rap. Queens of the Stoneage! Papa Roach! Imogene Heap!
MoviesAnything from Quinten Tarantino, Akira Kurisowa, M Night Shyamalan, Guy Ritchie and Kevin Smith. Favorite movies include Hidden Fortress, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Dogma.
TelevisionBattlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, and The Shield.
BooksGlory Road - Heinlein (Best Book Ever Written)

Shantarum - Roberts (Best Biography)

Boy's Life and Summer of Night (Best Horror Tear Jerkers)

About me:
Hi. My name is Weston and I've been writing science fiction and horror since the mid-90s. In fact, I'm obsessed with it. I've won the Bram Stoker Award, been nominated for the Pushcart Prize for Fiction and can't get enough.

I've been in a bunch of magazines,  anthologies and comic books, such as The Keep, Angel, CSI:NY and Shadowplay, as well as Horror Garage and Insidious Reflections. I have written articles on writing which have appeared in such books as the Writer's Digest Book's Writing Horror.

My first novel, Scarecrow Gods, sold out to popular acclaim in the summer of 2005. My second novel, Recalled to Life, sold out to similar acclaim in 2006.  Scarecrow Gods is due out in paperback in May 2008.  The sequel to Recalled to Life is called The Golden Thread and is due out in July 2008.

Other than writing, I live in Southern Arizona with my wife and fellow author, Yvonne Navarro, and my two steeds (Great Danes) Pester Ghost Palm Eater and Goblin Monster Dog. I am a retired U.S. Army Interrogator, have traveled to over 50 countries and have a story for every occasion.

Please email, comment or write to me. Whichever way you choose, I promise I'll write back. This is not a threat.

Wes,

Good news, my horror novel HAWG will be released by Graveside Tales in June.

Bad news? The creature is bigger than me and no where near as polite.
