CUT AND RUN: STICKS AND STONES PART II BOOK TRAILER

Watch "Sticks and Stones 2 Book Trailer" on YouTube

Broadcast of the Apocalypse

So Friday was my first ever radio interview. The show was ZOMBIEPALOOZA: DEAD AGAIN and I couldn't be more pleased with how everything went.

Everything was very professional. The host, Jackie Chin, had some great questions and some interesting information to pass along. Anyone looking for a really good show to go on, I highly recommend this one. I have been invited back for a vampire show, a general horror show and a return to zombies to do a show with, the one and only, David Moody! So there's some awesome stuff coming up. Thank all of you who were able to tune in and for the great feedback I've received. If you missed it, its okay because the show will be uploaded to the Z Talk Radio site. I will post that link when I can.

I also uploaded the Sticks and Stones 2 book trailer on YouTube today! It has an exclusive excerpt. That will be posted in just a sec.

Oh! And eBook Nightmare broke 100 posts!

Hell is just warming up

Cover sneak for CUT AND RUN: STICKS AND STONES PART II

The original Sticks is still very dear to me. It helped me through a marriage that was on its last legs and long periods of depression were spent pounding away at the keyboard to churn out what I thought was going to be just another story. In ways, I was.right. In others...so very wrong!
Sticks and Stones went on to be a beast. Ravenous and vicious as it moved up the amazon.com horror top 100. In the end, it reached a peak of #19 in the US and won an award for best novella. I was floored!
There has always been plans to continue the story. I could have left it as it was, with the hulking beasts staring down RJ Laymon's logging crew, and never looked back. But it wouldn't leave me. No matter what story I worked on, the creatures of the Lowe Road were always there glaring at me with fire in their eyes and begging for another round. Well... their time is coming. Welcome back to the Lowe Road, ladies and gentlemen. And prepare yourselves.
HELL IS JUST WARMING UP.

Hello there, my favorite fiends!

I know its been a while and EBN has been quiet. After Some Other Time, I decided to take a little time off to work on some other things that I needed to do. I'm still working on a few but I'm also back to writing. I have a few things coming along in the near future.

THE WHISPERING KINGDOM - is a very TRUE tale of horror that I have started. It will tell of a mysterious location not far from my home. There have been brief hints of it in some of my stories already but this will be the first, full account documenting the strange history of a place tucked away deep within the mountains of North Carolina, simply known as "The Kingdom."

CATHEDRAL - an upcoming short story with a Lovecraftian influence. The subject matter of this one makes MY skin crawl! I can't wait to see what it does to you guys }:-)~

CARCASS: NECROPOLIS - maaaayyyyybe

CUT AND RUN: STICKS AND STONES PART II - a young woman is kidnapped by a deranged psychopath and taken into the woods. Already in a fight for her life, the night's events take a vicious turn as massive, hairy creatures descend upon the two. If they are to survive the night, the psycho and the victim must join forces in this carnage-filled sequel to the Amazon.com best-seller, STICKS AND STONES!

I will update further as soon as I can. I want to thank all of you for your continued support for all of these twisted little tales. You guys keep it fun and make it worth doing.

That's all for now. Happy Valentine's Day! Be sure to eat.someone you love.
Blessed be.

The Return of Bigfoot

I've started a new blog over at Wordpress.com that will be the home of my first serial novella called The Image In The Dark. The first chapter is now live and new chapters will follow every Friday. This isn't a sequel to Sticks and Stones but is a stand alone tale that follows a group of cryptozoologists who travel to the mountains of North Carolina to investigate sightings of the mysterious creature following a bloody rampage in the foothills. I hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think! Click HERE to start reading it.

Some Other Time - Fun Facts

I always like to give fun facts along with anything that I write. Some Other Time is a zombie story with a slight twist (which I'm not giving away). It also has a romantic touch to it. A young man risking life and limb to reach the woman he
 loves. That part is kinda true. I am in the process of planning a trip to see that very woman and every penny made from the book gets me closer. The book itself is a metaphor of sorts to people who are in a long distance relationship. Now don't let that scare you off. There is no mushy Twilight feel. I assure you that the book is pure horror. There are also a few scenes that are very dark simply because they are from some very dark times in my life. For the first time ever, I was able to bring myself to the point where I could write about the car accident which nearly claimed my life. I was the sole survivor and that day has haunted me ever since. There were some other things as well that were difficult for me to dig back into and put on the page. I'm glad I did. Since then I have felt much better. 



The fire department in the book is based on my department, Green River Fire and Rescue. I wanted to give them a shout out, especially since they helped save my life. 



If you are from or have ever been to Hendersonville NC, you will probably notice several familiar places along the busy bend of Kanuga like IQ Tattoo and Hot Dog World.



One final thing...you can blame Sandy Shelonchik for eating the last stray peanut.



That being said, I hope you will give this one a try. It is now out on Kindle and paperback and should help fill your need for zombies after Halloween (or during if you have a kindle).
