CHARWOOD Out Now!

But when Orna uncovers what the Tenders are really up to in the forest, she must apply the ancient wisdom of her culture to battle dark forces threatening to gain a foothold in our world.

FREE GIFT from the “most criminally underrated author on the scene”

As the season of sacrificial festivals approaches, and you’re searching out a gift for a loved (or hated) one, I hope you’ll consider my new eco folk horror novel CHARWOOD, my cosmic horror novella MALINAE, or any of the four anthologies and collections I’ve edited (or had a hand in editing) for Denver Horror Collective. And for you absolute cheapskates, I’ve even got a new short story, “Creepy Old Dude,” available for free as an e-book, which you can email to an unsuspecting victim via this link!
