I'm an indie Horror writer who lives deep in the heart of Texas. When I'm not writing novels and stories for anthologies, I'm doing the bidding of 2 adorable huskies. I've been married for over 20 years and have a teenager in the house, so I won't be running out of horror material for quite some time.
My newest release is The Author Preferred Extreme Edition of To Stare Death In The Eyes. You can get it now on Godless or order the paperback/eBook on Amazon today.
There’s something preying on the locals, and Irving Fontaine has no choice but to investigate. He heads toward the unknown armed with his wits, a Colt 1860, and a warning from a mysterious Indian.
Avoid the hills that stare with dead eyes, for there, the soulless wait to bring despair when the shadows awake to feed again.
Read the author’s preferred extreme horror edition of To Stare Death In The Eyes and discover there are monsters everywhere.
The Tough Questions
