I'm an indie Horror writer who lives deep in the heart of Texas. When I'm not writing novels and stories for anthologies, I'm doing the bidding of 3 adorable huskies. I've been married for over 20 years and have a teenager in the house, so I won't be running out of horror material for quite some time.

I either take a day off and focus on other things, ignoring it and coming back the next day with a fresh outlook. The other is to tackle it head-on and just start writing. Sometimes I'll stay within the framework of what I'm working on but if it's a bad case, I will just start writing anything to get words on paper and hopefully after a bit it will break trough so I can pivot back to what I was originally working on.(less)

Go get Cuckoo

I'm working on a number of projects that have gotten in the way of keeping the posts going on the site, but I wanted to pop on and tell you about Mike Ennebach's newest book ...

I'm not sure why this graphic looks like 4 stars, cause this book is a 6 out of 5. Mike bares his soul and this is my must read book not written by Eric Butler for 2023.

Grab it ,here.
