Apparently some people are just too cool for the samples.

About Me

I write. A lot. Almost all of it has to do with horror and the supernatural, though depending on the story in question you could laugh until you shoot milk out of your nose (whether or not you were drinking milk at the time) or question the very nature of your existence (whether or not you were existing at the time). Sometimes both will occur at the same time, creating an existential-dairy paradox most foul.
I write comics that make you happy on the inside. Unless you don't know how to read - then the purdy artwork gets all the credit. You'll still be happy though. Click the cover to check out the book. "Answers satisfy questions but not always those who ask them. The truth about Cline Pharmaceuticals and its hand in the horrific events taking place within Park Falls is revealed, but will the answers clarify the mystery or deepen it? As Derrick and Daniel struggle with this information, Sandra follows another line of thinking by visiting someone she’s not seen in many years…"
Issue #4 hits stores at the end of March! Make sure your local shop didn't forget to order it for you! And if they did, follow the image to go to ASP's online shop at Indie Press Revolution - have all our love delivered directly to your door!

I'd like to meet:

I really think you're screwed no matter what you put here. If you say you'd like to meet -insert famous person here-, you end up looking all "fanboy", and if you say "cool people" or "too many to list" you're just kind of lame. Well, I'm going to defy you and your rules. What now?! I'd like to meet...
