When you die there’s a test, and it’s your very last one,
You head across a tightrope bridge over a vast, gaping maw.
Take a breath and keep your balance true, or you’re done,
Left falling face-first into searing breath and a toothy jaw.
And if you make it across without being lost in its jowls,
You’ll find paradise waiting, with ice cream and soft towels!

No rats in the wall
Not one varmint at all
Because you got a spider cat!

There’s more everyday
You can’t scare them away,
Those clever spider cats!

Now they got you wrapped up
And you’ll soon be a husk
Thanks to your spider cats!

They dug up the doctor and his ol’ horse too
All for no reason, just something to do
But their bones were a mess, mixed up and jumbled
So they trot with a wobble and run with a stumble
In the dark they may seem like sinister cutthroats
But you’re fine as long as you carry some oats

 

You were distracted and now they’re lost
You tried to find them, no matter the cost
It’d been forty years, no hide nor hair
When you heard their whispers, quite a scare!
You swear you saw them behind the door
But you looked and no one was there anymore
You laid down to sleep and a voice in your ear
Said, “Don’t be scared, your time is here.”

A weekend at Gramma’s, oh what fun!
All the woods and creeks and places to run
She’s marked the trees so you know what’s safe
With old animal skulls and nameless graves
Just be gentle with the tiny folks in the garden
And if you bump into faceless Jan, always beg pardon
Try not to think of how you got there or when
If you attempt an escape, she’ll find you again!

We’re at the zoo and off to the races
Cuz all the monkeys have switched their faces
They peeled ‘em off and are in the run
Who knew the zoo could be so fun!

Hey people! Well, I have a few book signings coming up. On Saturday, August 8th from 1pm to 4pm I will be selling signed books at Half-Price Books on 6500 N May Ave in Oklahoma City.

From November 12th to the 14th I will be at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Harrisburg, PA, for VoidCon 4! A ton of cool writers and artists will be tabling there, so you should definitely go if possible.

I will also be at Authorcon in March. In between these I hope to set up a couple more signings to close out 2026. Weird to schedule stuff ahead of time like this, as the country could collapse at any moment and likely won’t see the start of 2027 lol What a funny world!

June 16th marks the 10th anniversary of In Search of the Nobility, TX Wildman, my first book! This is really a cryptid spring, as April 24th sees the release of my Bigfoot horror novella from Infested Publishing, Wildcat Thicket. Plus! A surprise release for May that is also cryptid-themed…

In honor of the new anniversary, I re-edited the book and made a new cover. The book itself is the same, I resisted the urge to update things or change it substantially, it is the same Wildman that dozens have come to know to love, ha!

New cover out now in ebook and paperback. Instead of just being a Kindle/Amazon thing, it has a much wider release, it’s on Bookshop too!

Do you have any plans for March 14th and 15th? If so, cancel them and head down to San Antonio! I’ll be making my first con appearance with a table at the premiere horror book convention in the western hemisphere, the Ghoulish Book Festival. I’m super excited, I’ll have copies of my books for sale, including my newest, A Haunted Holiday and Never Leaving. Plus, some killer swag! I hope to see you there.

The day has arrived! Never Leaving is now out in ebook and paperback. I can’t thank Infested Publishing enough for taking this book on. Adam and Laura did an amazing job with, and Laura Cathcart’s cover and interior are just incredible. You can find it in ebook and paperback right here.

The book follows a family of three desperate for affordable housing, struggling with apartment hopping, who find a rural place too good to be true. But they refuse to move, fighting back against the ghosts and unaware of something worse on the way. There are ghosts and monsters, but I do focus a lot on the struggles of young families in this economy. The entire thing is rigged, of course. But somethings, chainsaws make wrongs right.
