TweetSo we had Horor Realm this past weekend.  It was an okay trip, didn’t sell much of anything at all but at least we paid for the table. Buying books did not seem to be on the list of things to do at this con so I came home with a bunch of books. I think, unless there are a ton of people that are planning to show up at Horror Realm next year we might skip it. It is a 9 hour drive after all. If we did go I don’t think I would get a table. Still we had fun while there but for now if the con isn’t within a 3 hour drive I can’t see...

TweetYou know I find it amusing that after all this time we had to get ready for this trip I am still working on things last minute. it wouldn’t be so bad if I was just selling my novel but since we have some leather crafts we are going to try and sell, the ibracelets for those who have seen me post on Twitter, well of course I am still working on stuff. Have the smaple chapters printed out for Landsford and Bound Between. Author panel is on Saturday, not sure what I am reading yet. If you are in Pittsburgh come see me.

TweetIn case you have missed it my FREE..that’s right..FREE web novel Bound Between is now being posted. Working on getting a new chapter posted every Monday. We are up to Chapter 3 with 4 coming in a few days. Reviews on it have been great with “What?” and “Who?” being the two most asked questions. Things will eventually become clearer. So if you are interested…head on over to http://boundbetween.com and have a read.

TweetStarting tomorrow the web novel I am writing, Bound Between, while start to become available. I’ll be posting a chapter each Monday, well that is the plan at least, at http://boundbetween.com This story starts off in 1870 but it is not a Western. Some of it might be but the story will span quite a few decades. Here is the synopsis for it. Life. Death. Afterlife. These are the stages that every living being must travel. Life can be manipulated or repeated. Death can be forced or postponed. The Afterlife, well it  everything most believe and it comes as quite a shock to those who did not believe. Ezekiel Polk was one of those disbelievers. He had lost his...

TweetWell I hope everyone has a great 4th of July. Here’s to no rain and a big dose of throwing food on the grill! Last week we went down to St Louis for Con-tamination and had a great time. Sold some books as well even. The toe tag business cards that I made up where a huge hit and they disappeared any time they were out. Meet up with a friend of mine that I haven’t seen since the early 90′s which was pretty cool. Since we took a few I added them to my Flickr account. You can see them by heading over here. Looking forward to going to the con again next year but next up is...

TweetHunt Thru The Night is a story I wrote last year that was inspired by a Coast To Coast AM a show that I listen to on occasion. This was also the first time I tried to do some sound editing with background effects. Through the course of 30 minutes we travel with the host of a late might radio show as he talks to people across the nation. There is something going on in the nation on this night and with each call the unbelievable pieces start to come together. Hunt Thru The Night The Cast Ted Hunt- Brad ZIpprich Phil- Casey from SciFi Surplus @CaseyShultz Karen- Melissa from Girl of Mayhem @girlofmayhem Steve- Darryl Pierce, McPeirce from...

TweetThis is my official statement that my novel, “The Road To Landsford” is now available for purchase. I know what some of you might be thinking, yes  have been somewhat pimping this on Twitter lately and I mentioned it the other week here. While all this is true I did say I would be making another post about it so here it is. Landsford was initially written during the month of November in 2008 for NaNoWriMo and is the prequel for my short story “The Children of Landsford Towers” that appeared in the anthology Zombology: A Zombie Anthology. So in case you haven’t read that story…you should get the book since there are some great ones in there…here is a...

TweetAt 8:03 pm, Friday June 10th my stepdaughter delivered her son DeBryce Daniel Gales, 8lbs 9oz. 20 inches,  as a result I am now old. Tracy left for Virginia to help her out for a week. I would have liked to go but money, vacation time and just sitting in their house for a week didn’t work. Plane tickets are stupid expensive anymore in case you haven’t noticed. Anyhow here is DeBryce Daniel Gales throwing up a gang sign. Because of this recent addition I have started looking for rocking chairs. Why? Well I need something to sit in when I yell at the neighborhood kids to get off my lawn. Might be good if I need to tell the woodchucks to...

TweetI have been waiting for this book to come out for a very very long time. Finally the time is here. The story I wrote for this one, “Tattooed Sweet” is one of the first stories the creeped me out while I was writing it. Tell you what, how about a sneak peek at that story? Sound good? Well first let me give you the table of contents for this book. 95% sure this is still correct. Tom Hamilton – The Adversary Mark M. Johnson – Mouser T. Patrick Rooney – Alister Somerby Derek Goodman – A Dance by Way of the Razor Myrrym Davies – A Severe Disadvantage John McCuaig – Ruby Joel A. Sutherland – The Man...

TweetSaturday night was a night for hanging out in the garage and looking at this new thing that my wife had bought me. I mean really I sat out in the garage and looked it over for quite awhile while Tracy ran off and did some things.What did I find? Well a bunch but I knew that when I started. Most of the things are little cosmetic things. For one it is in bad need of a cleaning. After testing out some Nevr Dull on a small section things started to get a wee bit shiny. The bike has a 5 gallon Fat Bob tank on it which isn’t stock for those of you who don’t know. I’m not sure...
