Greetings,

As my writing is being published in more avenues than I expected, I'm trying to rack up some reviews and get the word out! If you have read my anthology, Dark Passages, or any book I have contributed to such as Tales of Jack The Ripper by Word Horde Press or Dark Moon Digest #12, I would greatly appreciate a review!

I've currently been developing a novel series and many other shorts are being published in different magazines/books, so I'll keep updating here!

Be well, and stay scary,

Patrick

Greetings Fellow Readers/Writers,

Two of my shorts are free and looking for some feedback! The first is "The Shufflers," available on the GoodReads page for my ebook, Dark Passages. It's one of ten stories featured in the anthology. The second is "Ripped from Heaven," a Lovecraftian short featured in Sirens Call Issue 10 (the Monster issue), over at SirensCallPublications.com.

If you have read any of Dark Passages, Tales of Jack the Ripper, or any other publications featuring my work, please take the time to write a review either on here, or on Amazon. I would appreciate the support!

Thanks!

Patrick

Make Me Something Scary:
An overbearing teacher VS an imaginative child. It will end in blood.

I'm finishing the writing for a story that has been growing in my mind for over fifteen years. It began as a personal struggle, turned into a call to action to be a writer, and now I'm weaving it into a tale that will represent the heart of why I'm a storyteller.

When I was younger, I began to write because telling stories was a way to battle my fears. As I grew and changed, the story changed, because I was still trying to understand why I had those fears. Now that those fears that were so prevalent as a child have been alleviated by adulthood and experience, I'm able to look back at that time and finally work out everything I wanted to say about that situation. It's quite freeing.

The first draft will be done within the next week, and then out to my awesome group of editors (victims). I'm aiming for publication before October. I'm very excited to bring this personal story to the world.

Stay Tuned!

Patrick

Chuck Wendig from TerribleMinds.com hosts fun poetry and fiction challenges that really get the creativity juices flowing. His latest was too interesting to pass up: a 1,000 word story driven solely by action. If you need a good prompt for a writing exercise, then check out his site!

The first novel I ever read was Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. I loved the movie, read the junior novelization, and then the full book. That begun my life-long love of books. Barnes & Noble released a hardback collection of both Jurassic Park and The Lost World (the latter is still one of the scariest books I've ever read), and the new movie prompted me to return to my roots... on Isla Nublar!
