AUTHOR BIO:
I am the co-author of the Bram Stoker Award-Winning first novel, WITHER. Columbia Pictures bought the feature film rights to WITHER but have yet to develop a script they'll greenlight. I wrote two sequels to WITHER, WITHER'S RAIN and WITHER'S LEGACY, in which I continued the development of my Wiccan character Wendy Ward. I also wrote some original media tie-in novels, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: GHOUL TROUBLE, ANGEL: AVATAR and ANGEL: MONOLITH. I was a BIG fan of both of those shows. My most recent novel is KINDRED SPIRIT, a paranormal thriller. Visit my official author site HERE.

You can check out my books at Amazon.com (or at your local bookseller). Since you're reading this online, here are some handy links to my Amazon book pages:
