Blog postI had a productive 2012 despite all the emotional ups and downs in my personal life and day job. Writing definitely became a second job for me this year and after two promotional tours I'm pretty spent in that department. I know we writers must "put ourselves out there," but after discovering and rediscovering how very little interest I have in why and what I write, I've decided any future tours will concentrate more on reviews. Ya know, what others feel about how I write, which is

Blog postWhy did I write my last book? Ed Kurtz made me do it :) Also, when did the writing bug hit? I go into a deep historical account in this new interview. In no way am I getting tired of answering the same questions. I say bring them on! (again...) hehehe
The Interview with PumpUpYourBooks
Q: Can you tell us why you wrote your book?Ed Kurtz, the publisher from Redrum Horror made me do it.
Q: Which part of the book was the hardest to write?Likely the middle, when I was teasing my ch -
Blog postHere's an interview I did over at Divine Caroline:
1. How have you been able to use social media (Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, etc.) to help market your book?
I used to be exclusively Facebook oriented, but I’ve been using Twitter more lately and have found it’s a great boost for spreading the word. Promoted tweets and promoted profiles can be advantageous, so if you have some extra Ad money gathering dust (haha) you should consider it— not perfect, but it’s superior to Facebook ads -
Blog postTOP FIVE SLASHER SEQUELSBy Mark Allan GunnellsThe first horror movie I ever saw in its entirety was Friday the 13th Part 2. Not the original, but the sequel. I remember the experience vividly. My older sister was having a slumber party, and a half dozen or so girls were sitting in a semi circle around the TV watching the film, and I was at the back of the room watching right along with them. I still recall the screams during the final boo! moment, the adrenaline that floo

Blog postExcerpt:
Benjamin Kane Ethridge’s new novel is the fifth release from Redrum Horror, an Austin, Texas operation of growing repute. Along with sister imprint Abattoir Press, the catalogue is growing and the future is looking bright.Take, for example, Ethridge’s novel. At first it reads like a rehash of Pet Sematary. A couple’s marriage is on the rocks after their daughter is killed. One day, husband Herman wanders out to look for their missing dog and finds … the River Styx. OK, that -
Blog postThis is pretty much how my days go, even today-- well, except for the writing part :p It’s about 2:38 am in the morning and I get a text from my wife. The communication vibrates my phone, which rests on the nightstand. My daughter bolts upright in the bed (she has to sleep with one of us and my wife is already sleeping in the nursery with our 10-month-old son). Terror blossoms in my daughter’s eyes.
She points at the source of the vibration. “Dad! Your phone! Dad! Your phone!”

Blog postI envy actors.
Their ability to conjure personalities into being is mesmerising and awe-inspiring.
It takes a lot of courage to get up on stage and screen and bear one’s soul – and at the same time create the souls of imaginary characters, which is probably why I took up writing instead of acting after I finished high school.
I gave it a good try; I scripted and performed my own Commedia dell'arte (the script was okay, but my acting was meh). Acting is hard; you have to b -

Blog postMusic is magic. I tell my English II students this little known fact before delving into the deep waters of literary fiction. I do this because writing is also magic, but to make them believe this, I have to start out with something they’re more likely to believe, and music is it.I tell them to forget for a second that they’re trying to look cool for everyone else in the room and pay close attention. As you can see, there’s nothing up my sleeve. I tell them, “Be honest wi

Blog postAround page 45 or so, I set the book down and the black cover stared up at me. I WILL RISE by Michael Louis Calvillo. I wasn’t certain about the novel, even though I happen to love stream of conscious writing. Hell, James Joyce is one of my idols and I would hardly call him a page-turner, but I WILL RISE hadn’t sunk its messy claws into me yet, not even with a subtle literary-styled attack. So I argued it over in my mind for the rest of that day. This Michael Louis Calvillo, a talented, risk-

Everet Coop, future US Surgeon General, who delivered him. Thus, Hal was ironically destined to become a heavy smoker.
