I've been a writer most of my life, with my earliest verifiable work coming in third grade when I established a link between the Pilgrims and the invention of Thanksgiving (since repudiated).

As with Dead Jed, it turns the horror genre on its head. The vampires, werewolves, witches and similar characters discover they don't live forever, but do suffer from late-onset mortality. Powers dwindle, bones creak, and creatures both mythical and legendary get pretty cranky when they don't get enough sleep. Upton Arms provides a safe space when world domination is no longer ...more

Putting the word out

I'm assembling a grassroots marketing campaign to get Dead Jed's word out to local teachers and school librarians. Hoping to soon score some Jed-branded posters, pens, magnets and such, dropping them off at schools with an offer to come out and speak to students -- for free!
