My second novel was a fun one to write, despite the fact that I was really sick for a good portion of it. This one is my wife's favorite book of mine. #indiehorror #wendigo

I usually always have 3 on the go. I get a ton of ARC's, plus I'll always have a KU book, as well as a paperback up by my bed.

Get to know my books. Karaoke Night was originally written for NaNoWriMo. I had no intention of doing anything with it, but my wife talked me into sending it out to publishers and I was lucky enough to have it picked up. #indiehorror
