Interview by Stuart R. West

Author Stuart West interviewed me recently for his blog. We talked about comedy in horror, a bit about our wives, whether or not I'm a redneck, and dove into my new book Midnight Men, from Grinning Skull Press. I shamefully plugged my book as much as I could and tried to come up with reasons that put me in the not a redneck column. Did I do a good job? You be the judge. Thanks to Mr. West for a fun interview. It's nice to chat with other writers, especially those with a quick wit and a dark sense of humor.

In other news, I just published my second Joke Book for kids under my pen name Giggle A Lott and Nee Slapper. This one has a prehistoric theme - Jurassic Jokes: A Joke Book 65 Million Years in the Making, and is currently available in Trade Paperback. Kindle edition coming soon. 


I had the pleasure of reading Stuart R West's latest book Corporate Wolf. This is a comedy horror with real bite. My Goodreads review is posted below.

I haven’t read a good werewolf story in a while so I was pleased to get a review copy from the publisher for Corporate Wolf, the latest from Stuart R. West. This was my introduction to West’s work and I have to say, I was surprised to find an author who can mix comedy and action-horror as well as Jeff Strand. Horror comedy is often attempted, but rarely successful. West has a great feel for dialogue, especially for his male characters, and Corporate Wolf had me chuckling and laughing out loud.
As the title suggests the story takes the Lycan mythology into the dog eat dog world of corporate America. The main character Shawn is a typical cubical bound corporate drone who felt very familiar. Not in a trite way, but more because he made me recall my own corporate drone days. When Shawn has a run-in with something in the woods during a corporate retreat he wakes up in the hospital. Not going to give it aways but there are some nice twists and turns that take the story in a few unexpected directions. Corporate Wolf is a really good suspense mystery meets An American Werewolf in London. Lots of fun.

EVIL DEAD the Musical

Had so much fun at Evil Dead the Musical last night, in San Diego. There was so much blood. Even got to take a pic with my favorite Kandarian Demon. If you have not seen a production of Evil Dead the Musical and would like to, check out this link: It lists all the productions going on around the country from now until the middle of next year: http://evildeadthemusical.com/productions/

High Desert Book Festival

Had a good time at the High Desert Book Festival last weekend. Got to hang out with HWA LA Chapter author, Greg McWhorter and his wife (our photographer).

Midnight Men, from Grinning Skull Press, will be available to all on October 16th.

Midnight Men - First Review

Received my first review today for my new book Midnight Men, from Grinning Skull Press. It's from an anonymous Sith Lord and he said it was "Impressive. Most impressive." Then he mumbled something about the power of the dark side. Couldn't really understand him. I think he has asthma, poor guy, but the take away is the book is Impressive.
The kindle edition is now available for pre-order. Midnight Men: The Supernatural Adventures of Earl and Dale
Release date: October 16th

High Desert Book Festival

I'll be at the High Desert Book Festival this October 12th at the Horror Writers Association's booth. No booth number yet, but I'll be joined by HWA LA Chapter member Greg McWhorter.

Dark Moon Digest #36 - The FUBAR Ritual

I'm very excited that my new short comedy horror story, The FUBAR Ritual, is finally available in print, also in ebook if you prefer. The story had originally been accepted by an anthology that held it for a good long while, but as so often happens, they never published.  The story was picked up by Dark Moon Digest, the quarterly horror magazine from Perpetual Motion Machine Press. I really enjoyed working with editor Lori Michelle, who has a good eye for finding my mistakes.  
The FUBAR Ritual is available now in Dark Moon Digest #36 on Amazon

Midsummer Scream 2019

More than 30,000 horror fans came to this year's two day Midsummer Scream in Long Beach Ca. It's the kind of event you go to and see things you can't unsee, but in a good way. Its Disneyland for those of us that think The Shining is one heck of a romantic comedy. Good times. And just like Halloween, it comes and goes way to fast.
