Think Stand by Me meets Something Wicked This Way Comes with […]
Read more "Booklist Gives CHILDREN OF THE DARK a Starred Review!"Oh, Angela Waters, how happy you make me. You listen to my ideas for cover art and then make them fifty-seven times better than they were in my head. I’d call it collaboration, but that’s self-aggrandizing. It’s more like cover art clairvoyance. Angela sees and improves. She understands and—aw, enough of that. Here’s the new […]
Read more "WOLF LAND Cover Reveal!"Hello, my friends. It has been awhile, but I’ve got some good stuff for you tonight. But first, the bit of bad news. My biological father died. I won’t go into it further at the moment, but for now I’ll just say it has been a strange time. How’s that for oblique? In better news… […]

One daughter’s in pre-school at the moment; my wife and son are on a mini-date (I lost any gangsta vibe with the semi-colon, didn’t I?).

Read more "THE NIGHTMARE GIRL: Available Now!"I don’t think I’ve ever used a semi-colon in a blog post title, and you know what? It felt good. Darn good. Liberating. A gleeful punctuational rebellion aimed at the new establishment’s anti-semi-colon prejudice. THEY CAN’T KEEP US DOWN!!!! *blinks, glances around* Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, what I’d like to […]
Read more "Snow Falls in Indiana; THE NIGHTMARE GIRL Arrives at Your House"Hey, friends. Short and sweet tonight. I have a new novel coming on Tuesday, and it’s getting rave reviews.

Read more "One Week until the Nightmare…and Loads of Other News!"Let’s get something straight. I’m not a big exclamation mark guy. But in several of my recent blog posts, I’ve been using exclamations. I’m not proud of this. Nor do I condone the overuse of this type of punctuation. Please believe me when I say I’m aware of the problem. And working on it. But […]
