The Monkey Is In.

So be prepared. Bring a banana.

I'm a writer of horror and dark fiction. I've been doing this since 1999 and believe me when I say, it's cheaper than therapy and safer for the world at large.

Here is where you will find links to my published works or any podcasts I participate in to promote all things me!


Do you see them?

Some people can see what’s hiding in the dark. Some people have lived their entire lives in fear. But when David and his new friends decide to confront these monsters, they discover a whole new level of evil they never expected.

VIRTUAL EVENTS:

With all the virtual conventions and events this year, I’ll try to add links to anything I’ve done here. Some are not up yet, others were only temporary. But whatever I can find, look for it here!

Pages Promotions Author Event: A monthlong celebration of all things indie writer, every day included either an author interview, a reading, or some other kind of promotion or event. I was interviewed by Diana over at Pages Promotions, and it can be seen now on their YouTube channel. Check it out! PP AUTHOR INTERVIEW (audio and visual)

Edgar Allen Poe Readings: Years ago, a group of us went to a bookstore in Howell, MI, and read different stories by Edgar Allen Poe. I read, “The Black Cat”, and David Hayes has posted all the audio recordings from that event (though mine had to be re-recorded as the original audio file was corrupted). Follow the link and then maybe listen to all the other ones, too! THE BLACK CAT (audio file)

I also did some readings for on-line events, so if I can figure out how to link the audio files, I’ll put them here!
