Sole Occupant is live on Amazon!

Here’s the description:

Even though they frequently told their guests that their house was haunted, none of the eight college students living there really believed it was. But when one of them finds himself home alone on a weekend night, the big old house makes him rethink his beliefs. Is a ghostly resident playing games with him, or is it all in his imagination?

A 2400 word short horror tale.

The Second Cover: Odd Man Out

Here’s a look at my second cover for my upcoming short story, Odd Man Out. This story will contain the bonus story, The Moment.

The cover was done (again!) by my friend Rich Siegle. Check out Rich’s band, The ExitSpecialists on Facebook, where you can link to their music. (It’s the least I can do in return for Rich!)

Watch this blog for announcements very soon about the publication of these two works!

What’s coming…

I have a plan. It’s taking me some time to execute it, but certain things are starting to come together. Like this website, for example. And Deadlock Press, which should be up and running by next weekend. Then comes the publishing.

I plan on starting with short stories. I am going to publish four short stories as soon as I get the publishing company’s business stuff done. They are:

Sole Occupant
Odd Man Out
Jack’o’lantern
The Gateway

All are short stories, between 2000 and 3000 words, I believe, which is a little short. So each will come with a bonus short story as well. And more short stories are on the way.

After I get the short stories done, I will be releasing a collection of all of them. I plan on doing a paper version of the collection as well.

Then come the longer works. There are three finished at this point; the shortest is about 27000 words, and the longest is about 45000 words.

Look for the cover art of the short stories here soon. Maybe even later today on a couple of them.

Thanks for looking in!
