Like everything else, I’m always fascinated by archetypes and characters of the holiday season, so this is an exploration … More Holiday Excerpt: A Newborn King to See

Roddey, the short story collection, Lost in the Shadows. This is from my short The Legend of Shadow Trace, Idea Thief. It’s a story … More WeWriWa: The Legend of Shadow Trace
So since today one of the panels I’m moderating is about horror, I thought I’d give you a taste of my zombie story. This takes place on Christmas Eve, and is about a makeshift little family trying to keep some sense of normalcy while the undead stalk their hiding place. *** “Joy, joy, joy!” Andy … More Tidbit: Candles, from Lost in the Shadows
