WHEN I FIRST turned in the manuscript for my sixth novel NightWhere last fall to Don D’Auria, my editor at Samhain Publishing, he suggested that I consider changing the title. “NightWhere,” he said, “kind of sounds like it might be the lingerie floor at a department store!” Or something to…
Today, fellow horror author M.R. Gott and I have “traded blogs.” You can see my post for the day about Eurotrash Horror Movies at M.R.Gott’s blog, but before you do that… read on: Why do you write Horror? This is a typical question that most horror authors are asked.  What…
IT WAS QUITE the “flashback” weekend at the Everson abode! On Friday, my friend Brad came over and I introduced him to the ’70s visual genius of French director Jean Rollin with one of my favorite films of his, Living Dead Girl, which has just come out on Blu-Ray thanks…
TONIGHT IS THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY for my sixth novel, NightWhere. Huge thanks to everyone who has helped spread the word about the book’s release this week on Facebook and Twitter. And I hope some of you will be able to come down to Horrorbles horror and sci fi memorabilia…

I’VE BEEN WORKING at the same dayjob for almost 20 years, so at this point, I’ve stacked up a pretty good bit of annual vacation time. This year, for the first time ever, I decided to take two straight weeks off and do a driving vacation with the family. We…
Stop by The Writer’s Chatroom – I’m the guest there right now… from 7 p.m. Eastern til… I dunno. When everyone gets bored. I’ve got my laptop and my Newcastle and am setup out on the patio. It’s a perfect night to kick back and shoot the breeze! www.writerschatroom.com
IT’S BEEN SIX WEEKS since NightWhere hit the e-book shelves (and will be another 10 weeks still before the trade paperback is out in stores) but already there have been a bunch of great reviews that have turned up. And I’ve been interviewed about the book on Internet radio and…
