THE BEAUTY IN RUINS review site gave my 6th novel, NightWhere, a glowing review earlier this year on its associated blog WTF Are You Reading?, and this week, the site listed the book as a top read of 2017 calling it “a work of erotic horror that delivered on both fronts.” Check out the full best of the year list from Beauty In Ruins.

LAST MONTH, I SIGNED a contract for my 10th novel, The House by the Cemetery, with a new imprint from a long established UK house, Flametree Publishing. I’ll once again be working with Don D’Auria, my editor from Leisure Books and Samhain Publishing, and am proud to say I was the first author to finalize a deal for the new venture, which will also include my Samhain pals Jonathan Janz and Hunter Shea. Early promotion…
I HAVE GROWN to really love HorrorHound Weekend in Indianapolis as much as I love my own hometown Flashback Weekend Convention. I started going to HorrorHound a few years ago because my last publisher, Samhain Publishing, was a major sponsor and so they had a large space at the front of one of the exhibit halls… and six to eight of their authors hung out at the table all weekend signing books. But when Samhain…
“FIELD OF FLESH,” my NightWhere tie-in novelette, is finally available as a standalone e-book with its own cover! (Click the cover at right to see a larger version of the art.) Field of Flesh and NightWhere, the original novel, are both just 99 cents on Amazon this week to celebrate the new release! The story leading to this release goes back quite awhile. Four years ago, in the spring of 2013, my novel NightWhere was…

MY FOUR BOOKS FOR Samhain Publishing — NightWhere, Violet Eyes, The Family Tree and Sacrificing Virgins — are at last, fully back in print — three of them with new cover art! At the start of January, Samhain, my publisher of the past six years, began to close up shop (they’re now fully out-of-business). That took my last four releases temporarily out-of-print. I decided to re-issue them on my own imprint, Dark Arts Books,…
YESTERDAY, I WAS SURPRISED (and pleased!) to learn that the translation edition of my first novel, Covenant, won the Masterton Award in France! Translated by Thomas Bauduret and released in France by Riviere Blanche as Le Pacte Des Suicides, the novel was chosen in the Translated Novels category. The Masterton Awards recognize excellence in publications in French “fantastic” literature. Previous winners in the translation category include Joe Hill, China Miéville, Gary Braunbeck, José Carlos Somoza, Isaka Kotaro, Jack Ketchum, Guillermo Del Toro…
THIS ONE’S BEEN a long time in coming. Ten years, to be exact. But today, my ninth novel, Redemption, became fully available on Amazon.com (the e-book hit last week, the trade paperback was released today). My second novel, Sacrifice, originally came out in a limited hardcover edition a decade ago, back in 2007… and as soon as that book was released, I wanted to revisit the world of reporter Joe Kieran, Alex, the troubled teen girl who…
I HAVE BEEN WAITING a really long time to be able to say this: In about six weeks, my new novel, Redemption, will finally be published. And I’m going to be spending the next month getting ready! Last night, I launched a Kickstarter Campaign that will run throughout the month of December to support the launch of Redemption, and, hopefully get signed copies of it into the hands of anyone reading this. Redemption is my 9th novel, and the long-awaited…
