With my Photography taking up most of my free time I have gotten away from the pen for far too long. I didn't realize I had so many fans clamouring for my next novel so I have decided to try and revive my darker art. Let me apologize for neglecting you and taking so long!

With the invention of such media as Nook and Kindle I have much easier inroads into the publishing world and no longer have to tolerate others trying to control the flow of my work. I will be offering several of my titles on these medias sometime in the very near future.

Until then you can still purchase The Sandman from Amazon or find it in several local bookstores. My second novel, Circle of Friends has been at the publisher for sometime and the only hold up is a debate over the cover at this time. It should be released sometime in 2012.

The brilliance of a child's imagination is also the architect of the monsters under their beds. A severely autistic child finds a unique power in his only way to communicate with the world. 

Sidney McComb spent his entire FBI career skirting the fine line between good and evil, burning bridges with every step. Eventually, all of the lines had been crossed and the last bridge burned and Sid "Vicious" had no choice left but to barrel headlong into his date with destiny. And then he met Ethan, a young boy with a talent beyond anyone's imagination. 
Ethan didn't like the mean man. He was rough, he yelled and he smelled funny. But Ethan tolerated him because, unlike Nurse Becca, he allowed Ethan to draw with the black pencil. The brute had unleashed a power unlike anything the boy had ever known and the last thing he wanted to do was lose that feeling.

Bring Me a Dream


No longer under the control of antipsychotic drugs, ruthless serial killer Rueben “Cracker” Graham contemplates his future. Should he escape the hospital for the criminally insane or use his special abilities to control others from within the safe confines of his prison. Quickly becoming bored he needs a new game to play and the vivacious hospital administrator catches his attention as a perfect playmate. The game was afoot, how far could he push this woman? What heinous acts would he be able to make her commit? How long would it take to completely break her? But first, he needed to get his hands on an old friend, a unique book that put the power of the universe at his fingertips.

    Marisol Cruz started her day like any other. Her sister was back in her life and living with her. Her son was the light of her life. Life was good. And then she met Rueben Graham and everything suddenly went pitch black. She tried to choke her son to death, her sister was missing and she was suddenly the primary focus of a homicide investigation.

A collection of short stories written over the years. For all you old timers these are in the vein of The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Tales from the Crypt, etc.  I use short stories as a tool to break writer's block.
The Long awaited sequel to The Sanman. 

Vicious serial killer Reuben "Cracker" Graham has spent nearly a decade in a prison for the criminally insane. His mind has been kept numb by heavy sedation which has also kept his evil at bay until the inevitable happens and he is once again free to unleash his horror.

Timothy Duggan shudders as a wave of fear ripples through him. It was but a brief whisper of a memory that has haunted him for years, a ghost he had thought long dead. He forces the unthinkable into the recesses of his mind, but deep down he knows that pure evil has somehow been resurrected.

Streaks of a man's life oozed down the wall, the remnants of his pitiful life and even more pitiful death.

With her family’s history cemented in her psyche she now teeters on the brink of a decision that could cost her life, or worse. What price was she willing to pay to fulfill her family’s legacy?
