Carousels have charmed millions of riders of all ages. Perhaps even you have experienced the magic sitting astride one of those painted mounts, blissfully rotating your cares away. Journey out to the woods and find such a treasure revolving around the roof of a giant mansion. The band organ out there is seductive. The music whispers to you. Calling you like an old friend. Daring you to discover the secret world it hides. Daring you to embark on much more than just a simple ride. Leave your world for a while...but know that you might not make it back.
I spent 20 years serving in the United States Air Force, and have had the fortune to live all over the world, including Iceland, Germany, and in a tent for a year in Saudi Arabia.
Always an artist at heart, I produced many paintings during my adventures. After my service, I settled down with my family (wife, two great daughters, 2 cats and a little white fluff dog) in small town Iowa, where I love to volunteer at the antique carousel. Now, I help people with intellectual disabilities to reach their potential and teach psychology classes at a local college.
I switched from a paint brush to a pen and am now a horror writer, by night.
I have had short stories published by Visionary Press, The Horror Zine, Crypto and Co., and several horror anthologies.
Escape from your reality for a bit and get scared.
