Here's a historical artifact, kids! Editors used to send writers printed page proofs to go over. This is also one of the few SF stories I've written -- and it's dark romance as well. It appeared in an anthology called Love and Rockets.

Sheldon Higdon's latest novel is fantastic, and I was honored to blurb it! "This is a nasty coiled-up snake of a novel with plenty of venom in its bite."

It's cool to see my Conan novel advertised in the Conan comic and The Savage Sword of Conan magazine! So far, reviews have been good overall.

I stopped by the Beavercreek B&N tonight. I was bummed they didn't have my Conan novel, but I stealth-signed copies of Terrifier 2 and the omnibus Alien: Symphony of Death.

When I wrote the novelization of Terrifier 2, I snuck in a reference to the mythos I've used for a number of my original horror/dark fantasy novels, but so far, no one seems to have noticed. Have you?

Some people are claiming that those who write fast are really using AI to produce prose. I spend a lot of time during the day thinking about stories, characters, scenes, dialogue, and descriptions, so when I sit down to write, prose comes out quickly. I've always been this way.

I wore this exact costume for Halloween when I was five. Well, not this EXACT one. It would've been a little tight on me.
