I have edited an anthology titled THE GRUESOME TENSOME: A SHORT STORY TRIBUTE TO THE FILMS OF HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS. The book is now at the formatter and I'm hoping for a late December, early January release. The book features 10 tales that pay tribute to the great exploitation film director. I have hand-picked each author, who I knew to be a fan of Lewis. The official Table of Contents is as follows:

I'm currently working on my second novel titled LOVERS. Above is a mock cover, something I do to "psych myself up" about my current works in progress. The story deals with an EMT worker named Dan who has been on the job for 10 years. After losing a patient he and his partner Jack brought to an emergency room, Dan's life begins to spiral into a series of unusual desires and issues. As of this writing, the novel's first section is complete (over 23K). The rest of the novel has been loosely outlined, and I'm hoping to have the first draft done sometime in Spring, 2016.

You can grab a copy here: BLOOD FOR YOU. The book also features a bunch of great tales by authors such as Jeff Burke, Kevin Strange, and Sam Richard. BLOOD FOR YOU is published by a cool new press, Weird Punk Books. Check them out as they're currently accepting submissions for their second anthology of stories inspired by the legendary punk band THE MISFITS.
