Blood, sweat, and tears.

I(heart)It’s no secret that I used to work at Starbucks. I actually enjoyed my experience there and found it was a great and supportive environment. Schedules were flexible and the staff was filled with students and artists. It was a great job for someone who had quit a more lucrative position with the intention of focusing on writing.

What blew me away during my time there was the amount of money people would spend on their specialty coffee drinks. It was normal to see the same people every day, if not several times a day, spending five, six, and seven dollars a drink. Over, and over, and over. And that’s not even to mention the promotions we’d have. The staff dreaded the lines out the door for BOGO offers and half off sales. Customers would often go nuts, spending more than they would in a regular day because they got a deal. It’s no wonder Starbucks stock kept rising!

I’M BAAAACK!

Bleeding PenI hope you all had an amazing holiday season. I took the opportunity to take an extended break from all things writing related. This also meant stepping back from my horror fan feed that I run though Facebook, Google+, The Crypt App, and Twitter. The fan feed, Monster Haüs, was meant to be a combination of horror fan-centric posts and personal writing posts, but increasingly I felt that the fan side of things was encroaching on my life.

5 STARS!

Cover_SmallMy novel DISEASE has racked up another 5 star review! “Top notch… Disease drew me in and held me captive.” – Dormaine G. I’m so excited. Slowly but surely the word is getting out. It’s a tough slog, but worth it when so many people have told me how much they enjoyed my novel. It’s not just any zombie story, it a story about humanity, and the darkness that lives between us. Read Dormaine’s review HERE. Pick up a copy of the book HERE.

HORRORADDICTS.NET RAVES ABOUT DISEASE

Sending out my work is always a nerve wracking experience. You never know how a reviewer will respond to the material, or even what kind of mood they’ll be in when they pick up the book. The best that can be hoped for is an honest and straightforward critique of the work.

halogo2014Recently DISEASE was reviewed over at HorrorAddicts.net. This is a site created by horror fans, for horror fans, and it’s dedicated to all that goes bump in the night. As you can imagine they get lots of horror related material over there, and DISEASE was just one of many sitting in a pile that increased daily. That’s why when reviewer David Watson told me that he loved my book, I was so excited and happy.

Among the many wonderful things that David had to say about DISEASE he wrote:

Disease is the kind of book that I would show to someone when they ask why I like to read horror.”

What a wonderful compliment.
