I started my indie writing career on May 10, 2015. I used Kindle Direct because it seemed to be the simplest option for a beginner. As time passed and I networked with other creative folks, I learned how much I was limiting my exposure by sticking with Amazon. And when it comes to that place—especially in recent years—I can’t morally justify being exclusive to them. That’s why I devoted time and money to learning how to use IngramSpark and Draft2Digital. My future book releases will now be available from multiple marketplaces. Onward and upward. Happy ten-year anniversary to me!

#Watching THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT

Directed by Peter Cornwell, which sounds like a porn name but isn't.

letterboxd.comA ★★ review of The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)Hunting for actual scares in this snooze fest. If you're actually scared during this movie I hope puberty goes easy on you when it hits years from now. The only reason it's not rated lower is that there's some halfway decent acting that makes you wonder why these actors needed the money to do this coma inducer. Connecticut has denounced this film because of lesbian nuns. Directed by Peter Cornwell, which sounds like a porn name but isn't.

letterboxd.comA ★★★★ review of The Uninvited (1944)Woman gets a job taking care of some white kids and things get all kinds of fucked up. Suggests a lot more than it shows but still keeps the audience unsettled. Deliberate but not boring. Invite yourself to see some old school horror and Mr. Kemper will give you some penny candy Update- Mr. Kemper died in 2008. So no candy. 4 Of Santa’s Reindeer Reveal Their Favorite Horror Movies!

THE RANGER #Review

Perfectly passable Forest horror that makes its low budget work for it. If Larry Fessenden isn't in an indie horror movie, did it ever get made?

Indiana Jones might have glamourised the life of the archaeologist, but what actually drives someone to spend their days literally uncovering the past? Steve Toase knows a thing or two about it, and this archaeologist-turned-horror-writer joins Writing the Occult: Relics to talk about how archaeological realities can inspire great unsettling stories.

My #Kobo Clara has arrived! I celebrated by purchasing the ebook version of my favorite #StephenKing novel. Then I added my first self-published story from 2015—a personal take on an apocalypse, inspired by #TheStand (with monsters).

Starting this Friday, I’ll be offering my work on platforms other than Amazon for the first time. I’m still getting things ready, but 99-cent pre-orders for this story are already live on the link below for Kobo, #Smashwords, and #BarnesandNoble (among others). More stories to come!
