Thanks for visiting my page. I write software by day and speculative fiction when I should be sleeping. Dark hot chocolate fuels my evenings. My work ranges from fairy tales to fantasy to horror and ghost stories. I've been writing all my life but decided to become super serious about it and pursue publication a few years ago. My work has appeared in various anthologies and magazines. I live with my wife, children, and cats in a house with more books than bookshelf space.

My recent novels include The Great Contagion and Cat Sidhe: Into the Witch Lands I from The Merliss Tales series; The Black Blade: A Huckster Novel from The Huckster Tales series; and The Sniggard's Revenge: A Fantasy Adventure.

Krampus Comes to Town by Jeff  Chapman
"Grimm's Fairy Tales are dark, dark, dark in the original. I think the author's goal here was to write a novella with the feel of those original dark stories, and he has succeeded. It's not gross, horrible, awful horror; but there is the creepy feelin" Read more of this review »
