I began writing short stories at 16. I didn't quite know what I was doing yet, but those stories helped me get my feet wet. Around the age of 19, I began reading poetry by writers like T.S. Eliot, Arthur Rimbaud, and Walt Whitman, among others. That's when my interest in writing poetry began. Over the course of the next two years, I wrote poems every day. After a few years, I began focusing more on short stories and novels. I experimented with all genres. I also spent those years forming my poems into a book called Clockwork. In February 2009, Clockwork was published by PublishAmerica, LLLP. To read a few poems from it and purchase a copy online, please go to my Clockwork page.
I wrote my first horror story, The Fury, in 2007. Then I began the first draft of a horror novel called The Deal. In between writing the first and second drafts of The Deal, I wrote a non-fiction book called Ghosts of West Virginia, which chronicles my various experiences with the paranormal since moving to WV. It also includes an extended index of haunted locations in the state, so it doubles as a paranormal field guide. I am currently working on the second draft of The Deal. Excerpts from both of these projects can be accessed from the left sidebar.
The Resurrectors, a supernatural story about a young man, Jason Anaver, who wakes up in a morgue after being struck and killed by a car.

Afterlife, a story written from the point of view of a deceased man named Tom Ruttman. Ruttman must remain in the house he shared with his family to protect them from a evil entity he only knows as "the shadow man."
These stories, including The Fury, will be included in a short story/novella collection called Shadow and Storm. If you would like to read some excerpts from these stories, click HERE.
Shadow and Storm will be followed by Book One of my fantasy project, The Chronicles of Braith. The story above, The Path Beyond, actually takes place on an island in Braith, which is shunned by the rest of the world because it is a hub between several worlds, which the general populace sees as a form of demonism -- so it is essentially the first part of many stories...
