Newsletter #1
It all begins with an idea. In this debut issue, we’re opening the doors to the worlds of horror and dark fantasy — with a welcome note, a peek at upcoming releases, free novellas on the horizon, and a first look at the madness behind the Dumb Luck and Game series. Consider this your invitation into the shadows — where every story is just the beginning.
Newsletter #2: Shadows & Feedback
In this issue, I’m inviting readers to join the early reader pack for my upcoming novel Night Creatures Coming — a chance to see the story before publication and help shape the final draft. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the cover design process for Everything I Learned About Vampires from Watching Dracula Was Wrong. Step into the shadows and be part of the process.
“It all begins with an idea. A shadow at the edge of a dream, a whisper in an empty room, a flicker of something that doesn’t belong. Horror writing is about catching that spark before it fades, then following it into the dark. Sometimes it becomes a creature, sometimes a haunted house, sometimes a secret no one should ever uncover. My stories grow from these fragments — the small, unsettling moments that make you stop and wonder, what if? That’s the heart of horror: taking the ordinary and twisting it until it reveals the nightmare lurking underneath.”
