Cross-Country Creeps: Coming Soon

My second book, Cross-Country Creeps: Volume 1, is coming out shortly. It's another horror short story collection. This installment consists of 25 stories based on the first half of the United States in alphabetical order. Volume 2 containing tales set in the remaining states will likely release in the summer. CCC is much bigger than my previous collection Scream if You're Having Fun.
