It’s summer reading season, and if you’re looking for some adventure, I’ve got 2 great Kindle giveaways starting this week!

Jake Carter & the Nightmare Gallery and Jimmy Chimaera & the Temple of Champions are both FREE for Kindle from June 1st through June 5th.

Jake Carter & the Nightmare Gallery
“When 6th grade outcast Jake Carter meets the enigmatic Dr. Shade, he gains access to the mental realm of the dreamscape, where anything is possible. But when he uncovers the doctor’s nightmarish agenda, protecting the world of sleeping innocents takes Jake on an adventure past the boundaries of imagination.”

Jimmy Chimaera & the Temple of Champions
“When 12-year-old Jimmy Rourke travels to the Hydroverse, a watery universe nourished by streams of starlight, he becomes the Chimaera—a hero with the combined powers of the Animal Kingdom.”

These are great books for young readers kicking back at the pool or beach, so now is the time to snag and sample them!

I’ll have more news about some brand NEW stories as the summer unfolds. Watch this blog for all the updates! 🙂

My first official 2017 publication has arrived!

Check out my New England horror story “Champ” and a slew of other talented writing over at The Horror Tree’s “Trembling with Fear” feature section.

Horror Tree is an awesome resource for writers and readers looking to explore emerging horror markets, and they’ve been an invaluable resource to me as a writer in getting many of my recent works published. I am very pleased and honored to be featured there, and I look forward to sharing more stories with everyone this year. 🙂

Please join myself and my fellow authors from the La Grange and Brookfield Writers Groups for readings from our “Wrong Coat” anthology on Thursday, 12-1-2016 at 7PM at the La Grange Library!

“Our coats are quiet, obedient servants, reliably there for us when we need them . . . until they’re not. Learn what can happen when the wrong coat meets the wrong person. It could happen to you.”
