Following “Sisters Inside Out” I published a story titled “Water Face”, the first with Rymfire Ebooks, in anthology Heavy Metal Horror. It was a thrill to place it with a publisher who had a taste for metal culture but also cared about prose, plot and character.  “Water Face” is also the first of my Brooklyn stories to see print. Check it out at the link below ( $0.99 on Amazon.com):

So while I’m putting things together for this site, and in preparation for the release of Slash of Crimson, I thought I’d post a few links to places where previously published work can be found. The first comes from a magazine that was out a few years back called Macabre Cadaver. The story’s titled “Sisters Inside Out” and has a special place in my heart as one of the darkest efforts to date. It can be found as a PDF file for free online (see link below).

Greetings, here begins a site for my upcoming book series, The Crimes of Heaven and Hell.  The first release, Slash of Crimson will debut in March from Rymfire EBooks.  Slash of Crimson tells of an affair gone hideous, a guitarist who stumbles into an infernal conflict, and a refugee from an ancient civilization who is not who she seems…

For now, however, this site is under construction. I appreciate the patience of any early visitors and welcome all to have a look at any previous publications, mostly anthologies, where I have published short stories.
