Dynamite Body Bag and The Place They Are Safe Released

Those of you who have enjoyed my novellas will enjoy Dynamite Body Bag. I've re-released several novellas in this collection, such as Washing Machine Holocaust and Severed Head Beat Down, and updated them for this collection. Also added are several new short stories never before unleashed upon the general public. Ten novellas and eight short stories, folks. Now let's blow up some body bags!!!

I also released a new full-length novel called The Place They Are Safe. This one is about a town that can save a person from death. This gift is given with an ultimate price tag attached. Imagine Twin Peaks meets a fairy tale meets sex and gore. As we all know, no place is truly safe...

Okay folks, keep on truckin' and reading books. Take care and long live horror!

2014 Horror Update

I haven't entered much in my blog in eons, so I decided to post some of my thoughts on writing recently. I'll be honest, it's been tough. I think after all these years, I haven't really found my audience yet. Horror books are like that, I guess. It's either all or nothing. I'm grateful for those random people who post something in regards to my work or give me a shout out. Those people have really kept me going. I love the fans out there. You're absolutely wonderful. A lot of other writers have chimed in too, especially Kristopher Rufty, who has helped me with multilple covers on previous independent projects like Storks, Failed Rituals, and The Speed of Death.

My low sales in the book department kind of reminds of that documentary done about the metal band Anvil. Do you keep on doing what you love even if you have to keep playing in empty rooms? This isn't by any means a sob story, this blog entry. I've had opportunities to be published in a professional setting, and I've learned a lot. But I can't lie. It bothers me why I haven't reached that "tipping point". So what does a person do to make things better? Cry? Jump off a bridge?

None of those things, obviously. The answer is I don't have the answer. So I'm not sure how long I'll keep going full-throttle on the writing, but I still have a number of ideas I want to write no matter how good or bad my sales are. Why? Because I want to have a good time. Empty room or not, they're going to happen.

I do have B-Movie War coming out sometime in the next year, and that'll be a wild ride. I've got other pending projects, including a big collection of all of my novellas like Washing Machine Holocaust, Gasm, Storks, and Humpty Dumpy Says Fuck You. It probably doesn't help I just got off a big stint of unemployment and things got a bit rough. Maybe the creative sparks and the joy will come back, and who knows, maybe you'll never get rid of me, even if my tip jar is empty.

THE SPEED OF DEATH E-BOOK!!!

Hello Friends! Please check out my latest novel, The Speed of Death!

What horrors await those who travel faster than the speed of death?

Kirby Sherwood is dead, not that it matters much onboard The Extended Life Express. This super train allows the recently deceased to live again for a short period of time. The secret? The super train travels faster than death itself. Kirby's life is extended by fourteen days because of this phenomenal cutting edge program. He enjoys the high end comforts of a resort on a train, and even experiences romance.

But things aren't going as planned during this particular ride. The train has surpassed its regulated speed, cutting through dimensions, and hurling itself towards death instead of away from it. Kirby must strap his sanity on tight as he faces off with the mysterious entities beyond this world who perfect death to mathematical and cunning perfection. Can Kirby escape this evil force, or will the final days of his extended life be filled with unrelenting terror?

The author of the novels "B-Movie Reels," "Dead Bitch in a Bathtub," and "The Three Days" brings you his next foray into high body count horror.

Washing Machine HOLOCAUST is HERE!!!

Tonight is Larry Koche's final shift working at "Get Loaded," a self-service laundry mat that has been bought out by a mysterious new owner. Larry's shift reveals what the new owner is really planning to do with the business, and those sinister washing machines.

Washing Machine Holocaust is exactly what you think it is. Flying body parts, survival horror, double mutilation, surreal terror, and self-reflection loom in Larry's future. Can he save himself from the vicious washing machine's spin cycle of horror?

Fear not life.

Fear not death.

Fear the washing machine.

*Washing Machine Holocaust has been deemed too graphic for general audiences by The American Literary Board of Public Decency. The risk is entirely yours!!!
