About the author

I was born in the fine year of 1971 in Park Ridge, IL. I am a life long Chicago resident and I love the city. I spent a few years in St. Louis, as well. I knew I wanted to write from the time I sat down at my mom's electric typewriter in the 3rd grade. Now I do write. I write freelance and articles for online news sources. I write horror, thrillers and detective novels. I also write non-fiction in true crime and history genres. I publish my fiction myself as an indie publisher and write and have found an audience for my work among ebook fans. I publish for Kindle, Nook and other tablets and devices at Smashwords.com. My non-fiction is usually published in print, but that may soon change as ebooks become more and more of the norm.

3.5/5 Stars

A collection of horror stories that range from the weird to the eerily familiar.

I liked the intros to these stories, it made me think of The Twilight Zone and the stories paralleled many similarities to stories or situations you've heard.

With The Twilight Zone feeling and the interesting stories, this should have ranked higher but the technical writing is... not there. This feels like it didn't meet an editor. It was rough, sometimes so much so that the sentences didn't make sense. If this were to be ran through an editor and fixed, I would give it a higher rating.

This was fun and if you can make it through the spelling/grammatical errors, the stories are great for reading between doing chores or other activities.
