Biography
"Horror used to terrify me. Some of that Asian stuff still does. I’ll never watch The Ring again…"
From a small Texas town, he arrived on scene 3 years ago after a white knuckle 19 hour ride through deserted deserts and twisting mountain roads. His welcome to L.A. was a 4 am slash and burn through traffic on the 10 with cars everywhere.
While in L.A. he braved the Devil’s Punchbowl with stalwarts mates, drove out to the middle of nowhere to watch the stars fall from the sky, relearned to drive stick (yeah, in the middle of L.A., so now you know he is insane…) and resumed training in the martial arts. A surfer, he has felt the zen that comes from hanging ten all day and he has played the part of the pesky reporter when he wrote for a local Halloween haunt blog called, CreepyLA.com.
"I really missed the old gothic story telling and I want to bring it back. I would describe my writing style as a cross between Mark Twain and Edgar Allen Poe…"
Ever the non conformist…his first book, Absolom Rex, he decided to publish as an e-book and see if he could market it himself. So on top of being a writer, he is also an entrepreneur and marketing professional. It makes for a confusing description when people ask him what he does. In addition to his horror novels, K.L. also writes the Darkwater Adventures Guild series for young readers and.
Some of his favorite authors from growing up are John Bellairs, Mark Twain, Washington Irving and R.A. Salvatore.
"The first book I ever read cover to cover was Spell of the Sorcerers Skull by John Bellairs in JR High."
He has since moved back to Texas with his dog Sid and is actively seeking his next big adventure. He’s an 80”s movie and music lover and the thing that he likes most about a women is her voice… When not banging away on a keyboard he’s scheming of ways to get himself to a new campsite for the weekend, hiking with friends and his dog Sid, contributing to darkmediacity.com, and getting thrown around in a dojo by people in black suits.
