About Making Monsters
A political undercurrent exists that resembles cyberpunk. Sci-fi elements remain near future and fuse with horror fiction. Some tales have what may appear to be shock tactics,but these passages also build the story as a whole. The stories vary in length from short-short to tales at long story or short novella length. The book would be about 520 pages in regular paperback.

Biography
I live in downtown Toronto. I'm single, with a few cats. My wife died a while back.
I have nine books that will be out by the end of 2010. Three horror fiction novels, five story/novella collections from horror to sci-fi and comedy, and one non fiction book.
I originally wrote for various small press publications and have redone all of that work for print books and e-books.
I love both print and e-books. Especially my own paperback books where I did the design to make them easy to read. (fonts a bit larger, 6 x 9 size, with nice covers, and a reasonable price.)
I worked for many years as a printer but got laid off so many times I gave it up. Right now I have no solid career but a couple steady jobs.
Still, at one time or another I've done everything in book production ... writing the book, going through the edit process and also doing my own editing for reprint compilations, laying out the book for print and e-book, designing the cover, and when I was operating presses ... printing the actual books. (though I didn't print my own books)
I was attempting to do e-books back in 1995, selling some of my first stories in Microsoft Word on the old square discs, designing stories for web pages and contributing to one of the first online e magazines ... which was neat as you downloaded a program that installed as a magazine with all sorts of features on your desktop.
Being Canadian means few opportunities as there is practically zero publishing establishment here.
I'm currently completing two story/novella works - Walking Dead Man's Blog & Halloween Tales, and Making Monsters.
Both are large collections. The first is solid horror fiction, and Making Monsters, as the last of the nine books I'm finishing in this period, is the longest and the best - sci-fi horror, mostly novellas.

Theological Vignettes
by Gary Morton
Price: $1.99 USD. 45180 words. Published on May 17, 2010. Nonfiction.
Theological Vignettes is a Christian book that addresses religious questions that have arisen in modern times. In a new age of atheism, false gods and occult fads, I have reached out for genuine belief. Articles in this book counter many of the arguments humanists, atheists and others make against the Christian faith. The book takes different approaches and is not an essay only.
