I am so excited to announce that Infested Publishing is releasing my horror/comedy novella Never Leaving in February 2025! The story is essentially The Amityville Horror meets Gremlins, as a family struggling to find affordable housing moves into a haunted house and refuses to leave once the ghosts start to make their appearance. Of course, the ghosts are only trying to warn them about something way, way worse. Infested Publishing has a done a great job, I’ve loved working with Adam and Laura, and Laura made this amazing cover!

My second kids book with Cemetery Gates Media, and the second in the Haunted Holidays series, is out now! A Haunted Holiday sees Hazel overwhelmed by a holiday party, escaping to the outdoors. She finds an old friend and trades ghost stories with her, and receives her own spooky holiday surprise! Featuring a return of The Thing and Pet Spider, too. Here’s a link, tell your friends!

It’s official, my second kids book with Cemetery Gates Media is out on November 12th, and I cannot wait for you to read it! This one is a little different than A Cemetery Stroll, a little darker but still perfect for the little ones in your life who need a spooky read. Honestly, between the cold weather and the longer nights, the holiday season has always felt more like spooky season for me than October. In Texas/Oklahoma, you don’t get dead leaves wind chilly winds until then anyway. So, a horror holiday for kids in the style of M.R. James is perfect.

So, that’s Halloween and Christmas down. The next big season for kids is summer break. Maybe Hazel encounters some cryptids at a campsite? Who knows!

And reviewers! Shoot Cemetery Gates Media an email for ARCs, reviews are crucial!

I got the chance to be interviewed on a brand-new horror podcast called Unveiling Nightmares! The host, Crystal Baynam, is fantastic and a huge fan of all things dark and strange. It was a lot of fun, here’s a link!

Every year horror author Patrick Tumblety unleashes his audio series, The October Children. Stories and poems all centered around Halloween and the spooky season. My short Halloween Heretics was featured in the season finale, check it out here.

Did you know I wrote a children’s book? Not only that, it’s being published through Cemetery Gates Media, a publisher I so excited to work with. For ages 5 to 9, this follows a girl named Hazel who is dared to cross a cemetery on Halloween night. She’s guided along the way by four strange stories, and some unexpected friends. There’s a lot of personal things here, I grew up by Desert Creek, and the The Zookeeper location is based on an area where my friends and I played in the early 90s. Pet Spider was written years ago for my kids, and I made a book of it for them. There’s on crumbling copy remaining at my house of that one. Honestly, a walk around the cemetery was something I often did with family as a kid. Seemed perfectly normal to me, but my wife, who is amazing and helped with tons of advice on this book, informed it was in fact not that normal. Anyway, the closest comparison I can give this is Alvin Schwartz’s In A Dark, Dark Room. I hope you enjoy it! Paperback and eBook available here.
