THE BASICS
I'm a newspaper reporter in a small town in Northwest Missouri. I also have a passion for horror and mysteries, so I spend my "spare" time reading and writing stories. I'm currently working on a collection of short stories -- ghost stories actually. :-)
I like ghost hunting, paranormal research, and hanging out with my family and friends.
THE LURE OF THE GROTESQUE
I suggest reading "On Writing Horror: A Handbook by the Horror Writers Association"
Joyce Carol Oates said of the art, “Gothic fiction is the freedom of the imagination, the triumph of the unconscious. Its radical premise is that, out of utterly plausible and psychologically realistic situations, profound and intransigent truths will emerge. And it is entertaining; it is unashamed to be entertaining.â€
And that, boys and girls, is exactly what I intend to do. Entertain. Better yet, to scare the hell out of you.
