So one of my big author influences is Ray Bradbury. For me, his books are emotional, elegant, unique in plot, and true in characterizations. He’s also a master at literary horror, so I wanted to highlight a few of my favorites of his today. Granted, a lot of his work is short stories, so I’m … More SJ Reads: Bradbury is My Horror Hero #amreading

We’ll get back to rants and weirdness soon enough, I swear. Sometimes a story comes from a deep emotional place, and a lot of these times that’s a great big … More Excerpt: The Guru
I do a lot of writing in anthologies, and this is probably one of my favorite pieces that has shown up in them. It also apparently made John Hartness lose his ever-loving mind and not hunt me down for breaking all his rules, so there’s that, too. This is one of those stories that incorporated … More Excerpt: Real Wild Childe (or street vamps falling in love)
Today’s excerpt is again from Lost in the Shadows, and it’s one of those stories where the idea hit me hard but it took me a while to give myself permission to write it.
