I write supernatural horror suspense comedy (a mix of dark humor, quirky, silly humor and satire.), .

I love many kinds of stories. I especially love off-beat, quirky stories with unusual characters and settings that have a sense of wonder and humor.…Falling in love with stories saved me from a life of crime (I’m only sort of kidding; they did save me from something). A lot of my main characters are adopted. Like them, I was adopted. I seem to write often about identity. I live in Austin, Texas. I have no horses or cowboy hats. I do have a 125 pound sheep dog. I’ve taught college, been a bartender and waiter and am now a full-time writer.

I've had five novels traditionally published and something like fifteen independently published. My independently published series, Strangely Scary Funny, is, by far, my most popular.

I like writing most anything. My grocery lists are excellent.

Did expect a full-out dystopian mess of a book. All characters sad, mean, evil, conniving, hopeless. I know some will find this just right for them and the writing itself is not bad. Not my kind of read. Although, not being hopeless, I read all the way through looking for some redeeming quality. Nope. Hopeless.

I really enjoyed this book, I’ve preordered the next in series. Involved plot with twists and a lot of suspense. The whole idea of humans enslaved and dominated by the V is the stuff of nightmares. The human race fighting back against superior forces in a quiet revolution is classic. Highly recommend this book.

Fun, fun, fun

I became a fan of Brian Yanskys writing style with the librarian series. This series doesn't disappoint. If you are looking for a good time this is a great read.

Vampyres!!!

A Vampire story with a twist (or three). I love Mr Yansky for his other books and thought I was over Vampire stories, apparently I’m not.
