For it is the sea that holds our most sacred and terrifying fears, yet it also holds a glorious mysticism over us as a race, an attraction so strong that most of us flock to beaches, river banks, creeks, and lakes at every opportunity to stare out into the vast blueness and wonder: what's out there?"

I just received word that Lachesis Publishing has accepted my horror novel TORMENTOR. This is really great news and I'm stoked about the project. The book will be released early in 2009.

After being struck by a car bomb in Iraq, Marine reservist John Kern starts to hallucinate spirits, forgotten gods, and the man he beat to death back when he boxed professionally. While he recovers in Germany, Kern gets caught up in a cult of ghouls trying to resurrect a medieval Prussian torturer. Though still seeing visions of the nether-world, Kern attempts to make sense of those around him: A fawning nurse, a drunken fellow soldier, a concerned priest, a transsexual alchemist and the necrophiliac leader of the cult.

Will Battlin' John Kern be strong enough to face what steps out of Hell itself?

A story of horror, twisted lives, sacrifice, and heroism, TORMENTOR reaches deep into the soul and forces one to face their fears and overcome them.

I can now make it official that Graveside Tales will publish my horror novel HAWG this summer. This hardcore tale may bow at HFW in August, but we’ll see. Not a tale for the squeamish, I want to thank Dale Murphy and those at GST for taking a flyer on this one.

Blue collar tough Andrew White knows that in the rural community of Miller’s Fork bad things are best left in the dark. He soon learns that monsters wear many shapes.

In a populace rife with of vice and deception, something has broken loose…something hidden and feral. Set free from a neighbor’s barn, a force rampages through the locality. Hungry and insatiable, the berserk wrath unleashed from Mr. Solow’s shed is holds a darker secret than anyone could imagine.

Only a factory worker, a twisted biker, an unsure sheriff, and a wounded addict stand in the way of the beast. Can they put aside their differences and defeat what lurks inside them in time to defend what they love?

Come, peer inside the souls of Miller’s Fork and see if they possess the courage to stop the primal fury that is…Hawg.
