I loved Forsaken, it is one of the best horror books I have read, can you tell me if you are working on a new book to be coming out soon?

Apologies! I'm not on Goodreads often and this questions slipped by me. Thanks for spending your time with my words and the Rineheart family in Forsaken. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! My novel of 90s bodily horror, Head Like a Hole, seems to be doing pretty well and might be a fun followup. Or, if you're in the mood for ghosts and cosmic horrors, my latest is By the Light of Dead Stars, which I recommend for anyone that loves It, Stranger Things, Wayward Pines, and small town horrors with huge consequences.

Thanks for reading!

Just finished "Forsaken". Being 66 and the horror buff that I am, I am surprised I have not discovered you before now, but, I am certainly glad I did. You scared the hell out of me! What fun! When I find an author I like, I read everything they have written so, which of your works do you suggest I read next? So glad to have found you!

Andrew Van Wey Wow, thanks Laurie!

I'd suggest By the Light of Dead Stars if you like cosmic horror, small towns with dark, haunting secrets, and a splash of coming of age. I think it's my most mature work, and I'm excited to be returning to that world very soon with the sequel, Tides of Darkness.

Also, if you like a bit of nostalgia and want to take a trip back to the 90s, my novel of shattered friendships and body horror, Head Like a Hole, is pretty popular too.

Thanks again for spending your time with my words.(less)
