The Spiritualism of DEATH PERCEPTION
Reblogged from BUILDING THE BRIDGE:
Supernatural Thriller Incorporates the Principles of Spiritualism
When I first got the idea for DEATH PERCEPTION, my latest supernatural thriller, I knew nothing about Spiritualism. I came from a Protestant Christian background and held a general belief in life after death, but all of the after-death spirit communication and paranormal abilities, I invented from an imagination fueled by a lifetime of movies and short stories and novels.

However Crazy, Honor the Idea
Lee Allen Howard
If there’s anybody who knows about crazy ideas, it’s Armand Rosamilia. A gun that turns people into zombies? Crazy! But cool.
Such a crazy idea was the inspiration for DEATH PERCEPTION, my latest supernatural thriller tinged with horror and peppered with dark humor. Way back in 2003, I got this wacky idea that wanted to use me to become a novel.
This post kicked off my DEATH PERCEPTION blog t...

Coming Soon: THE REVELATIONS OF PRESTON BLACK by Jason Jack Miller
Preston and Katy face a new darkness…
Sometimes a battle between good and evil doesn’t look much like the ones they show in movies. The good guys don’t always wear white, and they don’t always walk away with the win.
And sometimes you’re better off with the devil you know.
The last time Preston went down to the crossroads, his best friend died and he nearly lost his brother. But Old Scratch doesn’t take kindly to fools, especially not those who come knocking at his front door. And before all is...

I Finished the First Draft of CALL OF THE PISS FAIRY
Almost two months ago I posted the first scene of my work in progress, a dark psychological thriller I’ve titled CALL OF THE PISS FAIRY (formerly THE BEDWETTER). It’s about an abused young man with chronic secondary nocturnal enuresis who, as pressures mount, embarks on a killing spree using the tools of his dark fantasies.
I tracked my daily writing milestones with nightly Facebook page updates, and posted a progress report two weeks ago.
I finished ahead of schedule, completing the first draf...
