I've been gone for a while and now I'm back. No, I haven't been away from the writing community, but I did take quite a break from this blog. It's been months. Mostly I stepped away because I started a Patreon page. I quickly realized that Patreon is not for me. I don't have the time or know-how to promote a Patreon page and frankly there was zero interest. No big deal, really. Quite honestly with all of the writing projects I have going on right now I would have struggled to keep up with the work load.
So what have I been up to? A lot. I have a lot of announcements coming up. What can I talk about? This:
I sold a book to up-and-coming publisher Death's Head Press. What happens when sadistic punks see their former school teacher slip
into a sinkhole? Find out in STRONGER THAN HATE.
Unleashing 2019!
I also sold a short story to Death's Head called "Little Black Book Turns Red" that will be included in their Dig Two Graves Vol. 1 anthology. And there's something else in the works with DHP that hasn't been announced just yet.
What else? Well, I recently signed a contract for a project that I am super exited about. I'm not at liberty to make an announcement, but things are flowing smoothly. It's tough not even giving a hint, but my lips are sealed ... in fact I'm contractually bound to silence until my publisher gives me the go-ahead. Okay, my publisher has given me the go-ahead, but you're going to have to wait to hear that announcement on my forthcoming interview this Monday on Necrocasticon.
Oh, I have a new book out co-authored with Jack Bantry. It's called Ain't Worth a Shit, published by Sinister Grin Press.
Issy has become used to her new life in the UK, away from poverty in her
native land. New beginnings weren’t without struggle, and sometimes the
past comes back when you least expect it.
Mark dealt a little weed
on the side, just enough to get him a few bucks and provide some for
personal use. No big deal. Not until he makes a little mistake.
Sometimes even the smallest error can turn into a dire situation.
There’s
another world under the veneer of city streets in London’s Leicester
Square, streets people walk every day without suspicion. Issy and Matt
find out about this world in the worst ways imaginable, and they must
fight for their lives to get out.
In this underworld, people Ain’t Worth A Shit!
"Ain’t Worth a Shit is fast-paced, compelling, and entertaining
on a sick horror fan level. It is a gruesome and disturbing story full
of suspense and action." -- Bibliophilia Templum

That's all for now. I am going to attempt a weekly blog post, but who knows. I've never been very good about keeping up with this blog. People say blogs are dead. Let's prove them wring.
