My Self-Published Books Are On Kobo!

Hey, so I used to have my books far and wide through Draft2Digital and Barnes and Noble Press. But Draft2Digital decided to add annual fees (fuck that) and Barnes and Noble decided to set a minimum price for paperbacks, which was higher than the price I wanted to set (fuck that).  So, I dropped both. But! In looking at the sales reports, I sold maybe two books through B&N, and all my Draft2Digital sales were through Kobo and Overdrive/Libby. So, I cut out the middleman!

Here’s a Kobo/Overdrive/Libby link for my Desert Creek Publishing books, Apartment 239, High Strangeness, Mad Days, and In Search of the Nobility, TX Wildman: CLICK HERE!

For now, I think this removes some of my books from Bookshop in ebook format. I will rectify this one day soon! Until then, you can find these four on Bookshop still, along with Never Leaving and Wildcat Thicket, in paperback form.

New Cover, Same Ol’ Wildman

June 16th marks the 10th anniversary of In Search of the Nobility, TX Wildman, my first book! This is really a cryptid spring, as April 24th sees the release of my Bigfoot horror novella from Infested Publishing, Wildcat Thicket. Plus! A surprise release for May that is also cryptid-themed…

In honor of the new anniversary, I re-edited the book and made a new cover. The book itself is the same, I resisted the urge to update things or change it substantially, it is the same Wildman that dozens have come to know to love, ha!

New cover out now in ebook and paperback. Instead of just being a Kindle/Amazon thing, it has a much wider release, it’s on Bookshop too!

Welcome to Paradise!

Rocky Capuano of Manor approached me about writing a flash fiction for Estate of Fright, and I was honored! The story I wrote is “Paradise”, and it’s about what may be waiting for us on the other side. We always assume it’s either nothing, or something better. After decades on this shit rock we deserve as much, right? But no. I’ve always been obsessed with the movie Phantasm, especially the moment when the Tall Man says, “You think when you die, you go to heaven. You come to us!”

You can sign up for Estate of Fright and read the story for FREE! Click this link.

Enter the Wildcat Thicket in April!

My next horror novella Wildcat Thicket drops April 24th! It’s about Ry and Erin, a couple struggling to make it and living in a travel trailer in rural Texas. When their landlord disappears, they find themselves at the center of a struggle with mysterious creatures and a potential gateway to another time. Fun fact: Wildcat Thicket is the original name of my hometown. Why they changed it to Trenton I will never know, Wildcat Thicket is much cooler!

Adam and Laura at Infested Publishing are amazing, and they have put so much care into bringing this book to life. Laura Cathcart designed the cover and it’s stunning! Plus, how about that Clay McLeod Chapman blurb? Pretty nice!

Also, the rash of Bigfoot sightings in Ohio this week makes this the perfect cover reveal time!

Speaking of Bigfoot, June 16th marks 10 years since my first book, In Search of the Nobility, TX Wildman, another foray into rural Texas and Bigfoot. Bookending a decade in the book business with sasquatch, seems only right. To mark this occasion, I’ll drop an anniversary edition with a new cover and foreword! I know the website hasn’t seen an update in months, but writing is all about the hurry up and wait. Hell, in the time since I last updated I got and lost a TV deal, and had a book dropped by a publisher! Wild!

Mad Days Has Arrived!

It’s here! You can pick up my latest collection in ebook and paperback on Amazon, Bookshop, and tons of other places online. Hopefully it makes some appearances in some bookstores too! Each story, drabble, and novelette is illustrated, and this collection is basically 300+ pages of Halloween vibes. The perfect way to get spooky season started, I says.

Mad Days on the Way!

It’s been almost five years since my last short story collection. About time for another one, right? Well, you’re in luck! Mad Days: Stories and Curses is out at the end of this month. Here’s a blurb:

A vanishing town. A cursed cemetery. A treasure hunt on Earth’s last day. Mad Days is a tour of the forgotten corners of Texas and Oklahoma, past and present. Featuring 16 short stories, 19 drabbles, and 3 novelettes, all illustrated by the author. In these places there are ghosts and monsters, all waiting for you. 

That’s right, all illustrated by me. 50+ illustrations all in all. I busted my ass on this project and while it fell through with the original publisher, a good collection never stays dead.

I can’t wait for you to read this. Also, keep an eye out for more info on my 2026 release with Infested Publishing, it’s gonna be amazing!

Never Leaving is Here!

The day has arrived! Never Leaving is now out in ebook and paperback. I can’t thank Infested Publishing enough for taking this book on. Adam and Laura did an amazing job with, and Laura Cathcart’s cover and interior are just incredible. You can find it in ebook and paperback right here.

The book follows a family of three desperate for affordable housing, struggling with apartment hopping, who find a rural place too good to be true. But they refuse to move, fighting back against the ghosts and unaware of something worse on the way. There are ghosts and monsters, but I do focus a lot on the struggles of young families in this economy. The entire thing is rigged, of course. But somethings, chainsaws make wrongs right.
