I 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.

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.
Who I'd like to meet:
Readers! Go to your local bookstore, Amazon.com
or Horror-Mall
and pick up a copy of one of my novels, short story collections,
magazines or comic books. You'll be supporting a new writer, and you'll
get a cool read out of it. I'll even sign it for you...e-mail me and
I'll tell you where to send it.

MUY MAL PRIMER
There's a bunch of you who don't know about this enterprise that John Urbancik, Mike Oliveri, and I are engaged in. Called Muy Mal, it is a shared world where we present our own serialized tales for free. Totally free.
Just wanted to stop by and say "hey," and pull a proverbial myspace reminder. My new novel, "Delving: Assassins" comes out next month, and is now up for pre-order.
