New book contract and other releases
This week I signed a contract with IFWG Publishing for my second novel, The Gate at Lake Drive. That's the second contract for a novel signed this year, which makes me pretty happy. The book is due out next year and is the first book in the Dillon the Monster Dick series. The first short story that featured him, The Undergarment Eater, appeared in in Dark Eclipse issue 29.
Here's the post from IFWG Publishing:

So here's what is due out over the next year or so:
Demon Rum and other Evil Spirits - featuring "The Olive Branch" Fall 2014
Dark Reaches: a collection Winter 2014 from Inherit Press
Insidious Assassins - featuring "Dead Bill" late 2014/early 2014
Shutdown - novel late 2014/early 2015 from JEA Press
Shrieks and Shivers from the Horror Zine - featuring "Stash House" early 2015
Midian Unmade: Tales of Clive Barker's Nightbreed - featuring "And Midian Whispered Its Name" July 15 2015
Autumn's Jar and other stories: a collection fall 2015 from Inherit Press
The Gate at Lake Drive: novel mid/late 2015 from IFWG Publishing
As you can see, there are a few less magazines and anthologies as compared to the last two years, but that's all because I'm trying to focus more on novels. I'm looking forward to seeing how people like the longer format.
There will be other things set to come out, I have 5 short stories out in the ether, and I'm almost done my third novel, Maymon and set to start my fourth novel right after that called, Earthbound and Down (the second Dillon novel).
Stay tuned here and on my Facebook page for updates and contests.

The Gate at Lake Drive
The Gate at Lake Drive
Well, it's finally here. The Gate at Lake Drive has been released from IFWG Publishing. If you've read the short story, The Undergarment Eater, you'll be familiar with the main character, Dillon the Monster Dick. If you're not, don't worry, this'll be the first of many novels featuring him. It also includes the short story mentioned above.
So what's it all about? Here's a clip from the back of the book:
"Meet Dillon, the Monster Dick. He’s a detective of sorts, a man hired to hunt down things that have come into our world that have no right to be here. Whether it’s a monster made up of paint cans and rags, spirits hidden in carpets or animals possessed by demons, Dillon will dispatch them as soon as he finds them.
His new job is up in northern Ontario, where the mayor has hired him to deal a swarm of creatures that seem to be coming from a whirlpool in the middle of the lake. When he hears this, he’s more worried than he’s ever been. In all the years Dillon has been a hunter, he’s never once heard of a flock of monsters coming into this realm at the same time.
Dillon heads there with his new friend, burlesque performer Rouge Hills and finds nothing is what it seems. It’s not just one type of monster, but something far worse trying to be born into our world. The odds are stacked against him, but since the money is good, there’s no turning back.
From Shaun Meeks, the author of At the Gates of Madness and Shutdown, comes book one in the Dillon the Monster Dick series."
If you like horror, monsters, demons, monster hunters, zombies, noir and burlesque, this one is for you.
