Biography

When I was a kid, I used to have nightmares about demons. They used to wait until I was in sleep-paralysis to scare the crap out of me. If I was lucky, they hid in the shadows. I wasn't always lucky. But then they weren't always hideous. Some things you just don't outgrow.

I want you to meet my demons. I want you to be scared with me (is that so wrong). But I don't just want to scare you though. I want you to care about what happens to my characters. Because if I can make you care about them, then you will be afraid for them. If you feel what they feel, then you may also feel their fears.

Who knows, you could have nightmares about beautiful demons too.

Smashwords Interview

What are your five favorite books, and why?
1. The Color Purple, because life can be horrific and there are real fake monsters. And if you have enough grit (and help) you can overcome unimaginable odds.
2. Interview with a Vampire, told a wonderful yet horrifying tale simply. I digested that book like a great meal.
3. Salem's Lot, Stephen King (who is one of my favorites), used a Nosferatu to strip away the "sexy" vampire persona and deliver a really scary book. He practically said, "Let's face it, we're just food". Awesome.
4. Any trashy romantic books by Rosemary Rodgers, Sidney Sheldon, or Harold Robbins because we all need to live out our trashy romantic fantasies some how without actually living trashy romantic lives. We hope!
5. Ghost Story. I believe by Page 20 I was so afraid that I was wary of the shadows in my room. I was completely jealous of Peter Straub's ability to scare the crap out of me. The movie that followed was a disgrace to the book. After seeing that mess, I was so mad I wanted to spit.
How do you approach cover design?
I have help with all my cover designs. The graphic artists usually ask me questions and they basically come up with the concept. I'm just great at finding wonderful artists.
