Free download of The Black Seas of Infinity
We’ve entered the last two days for the free download of The Black Seas of Infinity.
This is a heavily illustrated cosmic, dystopian horror. Aliens, ancient ruins, and long-running government conspiracies are all intertwined. As the disillusioned protogenist steals recovered alien technology from his government job, the carefully planned retreat falls apart as the United States fractures into competing states. Long-suppressed tensions erupt, and interstate travel descends into chaos.
Your downloads and reviews on Amazon will help secure an ever-elusive Bookbub spotlight!

Pulp adventure magazines of those long-gone days!
Pulp adventure magazines of those long-gone days!
Does anyone remember those old pulp magazines?
The Shadow, Doc Savage, and Weird Tales?
They were the hot thing on newsstands before comic books, and always featured heavily illustrated stories. The first Batman is a direct rip-off of a Shadow story, word by word and plot point by plot point.
They always drew in my wonder and attention as a kid, and I strive to replicate some of that feel in both my cosmic horror series and anthologies.
My new anthology, The Joke is on Mankind, should be out late next month. As usual, it features a slew of talented writers!

War in Space!
War in Space!
Like many kids in my era, I wanted to be an astronaut growing up!
When I realized they were just the test dummies for the space program, I wanted to be a rocket scientist. Taking advanced calculus, I read books on string theory and advanced physics.
But I always drew and wrote. By the end of high school, I realized our technology was just not advanced enough yet to take us to the top.
I love sci-fi and horror, and after reading Watchmen, I resolved to do illustrated Cosmic Horror stories. This illustration appears in The Black Seas of Infinity, my first delving into this concept! With, of course, a little Lovecraft flair to accompany it!
