“Go Home, Afton” Cover Reveal! Just $0.99 to Pre-Order. Coming June 25, 2018.

A few weeks ago, I announced that at some unknown point in the future, Go Home, Afton would be made available for pre-order, with a summer release date.

Well, that time is now, friends. Here’s a first look at the cover of Go Home, Afton. The first of four parts in a new thriller series, Go Home, Afton will be released June 25, 2018, and can be yours for just 99 cents.

Go Home, Afton: Book 1 in a New 4-Part Thriller Series (Summer 2018)

For starters, if you follow me on social media, you might have noticed that a few of my cover photos...

New Short Story Coming February 5, 2018! “A Book With No Pictures” ($0.99)

I’ve been crafting a number of short stories over the last few months, in between my work on a series of novellas (more on that below), that I hope to begin releasing in the next few months. And a number of those short stories—some of which I am submitting to literary journals and magazines, some of which I intend to self-publish—have dealt with some pretty heavy subject matter.

So I decided to have a bit of fun, and write something a bit less serious. Enter A Book With No Pictures, a short,...
