edit data

I am a lifelong avid reader with a passionate love for a good story, be it fiction on nonfiction. As a kid, I loved genre movies-westerns, gangsters, horror-because the story was king with those kind of flicks, same with comic books, another life long passion. After years of reading, I decided to try my hand at writing the kind of fiction I enjoyed and learned there is no greater satisfaction than to labor on something you love and then discover others find pleasure in it as well.

The Book of Accidents, a must read for horror lovers.

THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS was the first book by Chuck Wendig that I’ve had the opportunity to read. He is a horror novelist whom I have heard very good things about for some time. I’ve been a lifelong fan of the genre ever since I was a kid and got my hands on old Classics Illustrated comics versions of FRANKENSTEIN and DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. Like every other fan of the genre, I would go on to b Read more of this blog post »
