I’m Not Normal
There’s something wrong with me. There must be. I mean, other than writing horror stories – in both senses as I’m not much of a writer – I look and act, for the most part, relatively normal. Well, as normal as normal goes I guess. I’m quite boring. Ordinary. You’d find talking to a lump…

Dracula the Un-Dead
In just about two weeks, on August 9, I will be at Boutique du Vampyre in New Orleans to sign copies of my Scarlet Order vampire novels. I’ve enjoyed visiting this French Quarter shop since I discovered it in 2014. In 2020, when much of the world went into lockdown, owner Marita Crandle had the…
