Q&A

♦ Current Work Released march 2024

Evergreen Dread – An adventure about a new Federal Agent hunting nightmarish creatures.

♦ Where did you get your idea for your first novel, “The Pilgrim and the Prophet”?

I attended a haunted house that ended up being something else. It was terrifying in ways that don’t require masks or capes.

♦ What are some of your published stories?

The Pilgrim and The Prophet– A thriller about an apocalyptic preacher who takes over a sleepy midwestern city to exact a moral cleansing splitting both the residents, two lovers, and American democracy against itself.

Anthology of Bizarro– Welcome to the wonderfully horrific world of Bizarro – that dark, forbidding corner of the horror genre where absolutely anything goes and one may delve into the farthest recesses of the authors’ warped imaginations. Enjoy 16 outstanding stories, one of which is The Rusty Tractor by Victor Marrow.

♦ WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR IDEAS?

Often by chance, sometimes by intention. I’ve led a strange life, so from a gravedigger father (cemeteries were literally my earliest playgrounds) to now being a lawyer, I get to examine the edges of our existence. My sarcasm aside, I do enjoy finding brave people taking on the dark, in any form (personal, professional, mentally) and battling to get some light. 

♦ Advice for future writers?

By now you have googled, tweeted, and pillaged various writing books. Find your creative pulse and write the next book you want to read. Bathe in your atrocities. When you feel the fingertips of failure slither into your soul, know every writer is there with you. We are all in misery unified by a symphony of the written word. Be brave, bold, and make the words immortal. I’m rooting for you!
