It took longer than expected but finally my book is finished and is up on Amazon. The best way to describe it is "kitchen sink horror" because there is a little bit of everything in it and it is book 1 of a much larger story. I hope people enjoy as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'm working on a couple other stories before I jump into book two. If anyone has any questions, feel free to reach out.

Currently I'm passing the 60,000 word mark for my first novel. Kind of proud of this moment since I've been working on and off again since March of last year. The way things are looking this is going to be close to a 120,000 word book which is a bit long for a first time novel though I'm sure in editing it will come down a bit. Really looking forward to sharing this story with everyone when it's finished and not long after I plan on getting started on my next project.

The most difficult issue I've had with writing this story has been myself. Whether it's been dealing with health issues or simple procrastination it seems it's only been myself that has gotten in the way of this process. I'd like to believe I've overcome some of the more difficult hurdles but I'm sure there will be more to come along but so far I've enjoyed this journey with my characters and I hope you will to.

Today I passed the 10,000 word mark for the story I'm writing about my years working at the adult bookstore. The hardest part has been actually getting the outline made up and what stories to tell while continuing to tell a larger story as well. For those of you that know me I'm sure you have some clue as to what I have in store for you as for everyone else I hope I'll deliver something that will deliver laughs and make you cringe with delight.

I have a new short story, BALLOON SHOES that is part of the new horror anthology Rejected For Content 5: Sanitarium. To date this is my favorite short story I've completed and depending how people respond to the character Balloon Shoes, there may even be more blood soaked adventures for him. Check out my story as well as many other twisted tales that are in this collection.

Looks like it will not be long till my new short story Necroland will be released. Necroland will be joining several other horror stories and poems in the anthology Rejected For Content 3.
More information will be on the way.
