What's New

Nov 17, 2022 - I will be doing the Historic Tuckahoe Plantation's Holiday Market on Sunday, December 11th (with Sunday, December 18th as the rain date in case of inclement weather.). The market location will be on the South Lawn of the historic plantation house. Check Appearances at a Glance to your right for the time, address, and anything else.

My horror vampire poem, Crimson Rush, was accepted for Horror Curated: Bloody Tea, which will be released in February 2023. The new ezine just debuted this month, and you can find out about their first issue, Haunted Holidays, and more here.

Oct 26, 2022 - I will be a vendor at Tidewater Horror Convention next year, September 8, 9, and 10. For the address of the new hotel, plus link to their website (memberships for next year are now for sale), check Appearances at a Glance to the right of this page.

Sep 20, 2022 - I am excited to announce that I will be doing a book signing at the Barnes and Noble in Fredericksburg, Virginia, with other authors of horror and paranormal on Saturday, October 29th, beginning at 10:00 a.m. You can find the address and their phone number of the bookstore at Appearances at a Glance to the right of this page, with no ending time, as the bookstore is allowing us authors to decide if we want to stay there for 2 hours or until we sell out of our books.

If you cannot make it that day, you can call the number and pay over the phone and have a copy of one or more of my books signed by me. I am not sure if all my regional Virginia ghost books, along with Werewolves, Dogmen, and Other Shapeshifters Stalking North America and Blame It on the Pumpkin anthology, will be available or not. So, call the bookstore close to the 29th, if you wish to know.
