Bang!
My story “From the Barrel of a Gun” has been accepted into SUPER, an anthology of super hero fiction from Static Movement Press
.
This story was adapted from a screenplay I wrote in film school about a city over run by brawling super heroes and villains and the group of determined snipers who fight back. One of my many strange mantras is that “A gun is the ultimate super power.” I had a lot of fun doing the research for this story, and I think it shows. I’ll share more when the book comes out.

Short Sips 2 Now Available!
Short Sips Vol 2 from Pill Hill Press is now available in print from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It features many fine short horror stories, including my own ‘TOOTH AND BONE.’
This story was conceived in a dentist chair during a harrowing series of painful and bloody purification rituals. I passed the rites and returned to my tribe inspired to write a horror story and find better dental insurance.
Recently, my lovely wife gave me a certificate for a professional massage. Lying in a dark room, face down with a stranger, my mind wondered to the macabre as it is wont to do. Tickling my mind was a particularly ghastly segment on a Discovery Channel show about parasites that can infest the human body. As the stranger dug into my muscle and sinew a new idea began to take root in my brain. I urge you, go see the dentist before reading my story. And get a massage, you deserve it. But do it soon. Once I write my massage story you may not find them so relaxing.
