The Retreat... coming soon

About Me

I am a young author with more than my share of publications under my belt. My debut novel The Retreat will be out by the end of 2007. I am in the works on securing deals on three other novels with major publishing firms. I am diabetic, which means you won't find me at the "sloshed" table at any writer's convention. You'll have to look for me in some dark corner. I edit and manage the anthology series Darkened Horizons. For more information visit www.darkenedhorizons.com or www.lulu.com/darkenedhorizons. Anything else you need to know feel free to write and ask.Layout made by paintedblack14

My Interests

Reading, writing, painting. Kick boxing. Music, all genres. Movies, film production and direction. That kind of thing.

I'd like to meet:

Other authors.

Music:

You name it, I probably have it. My favorite bands are; Pink Floyd, Disturbed, Chicago, Blues Traveler, 3 Doors Down, Rehab, ICP, Twiztid, Anti-Flag, Corporate Avenger, KMK, Hootie and the Blow Fish, Kittie and Fly Leaf, but I am very open to music and listen to just about anything.

Movies:

Uhm, my favorite is always going to be Stephen King's Silver Bullet, or Clive Barker's Hellraiser, but I'm always down for anything good. Other good ones are Darko, Tim Burton movies, anything off color. I like Japanese horror movies, not anime, but the real deal. It all depends on mood in movies like that. You watch, you enjoy, you feel depressed and deprived. They hold the same kind of emotions as I always seem to and they've been imprinted on film. I like comedies too, some action movies, and pretty much anything that is worth watching more than one time.

Television:

Aqua Teen Hunger Force! Yes! (Not anymore, work too early to watch it). Family Guy. South Park. Chapell Show. Most Haunted on the Travel Channel. Though Brits are funnier than shit when they actually see something.

Books:

Pretty much anything I write. My favorite writers are Clive Barker, Stephen King, Brian Keene, Ed Lee and Peter Straub. I also enjoy a good history book or political novel here and there. You never know what tidbits of wisdom you will find amongst the mindless slum of intellectually numbing pulp available at your local news stand. I forgot to mention Steve Alten, though his books are mind numbingly simple, they're always gory and worth a day or two to read. AVAILABLE NOW AT LULU.COMCOMING SOONAVAILABLE AT LULU.COMCOMING SOON TO LULU.COM

Heroes:

Roland of Gilead.. from the Dark Tower Series. MA from DOA... (shameless self promotion). My all time mentor and hero would have to be Clive Barker, though, bringing himself to the level of fame he has obtained took a lot of work, especially with his off-kilter views on love and society...
