I have written three novels: Where Darkness Dwells, The Nightmare Within, and Nothing Lasting. My short fiction has appeared in publications across three continents for the last decade. Dog Horn Publishing (U.K.) will publish my story collection debut in 2011. I am also a staff editor for Morrigan Books. As a freelance editor, I have worked on books by Tim Lebbon and Lawrence Block, among others.

I was captivated by how the story unfolded, mixing the history with the present and why things turned out as they did. The author's talent for telling stories is not only evident but great!" </span></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:12pt;"></span></p><p> </p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:12pt;">"This book held my attention with the many twists and turns. The characters were well thought out and believable, and the storyline held the attention of the reader. I believe this could be a truly great horror movie. This author has a wonderful imagination and knows how to weave a compelling story. I would recommend this book to my friends."</span></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:12pt;"></span></p><p> </p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:12pt;">"To say this is a zombie novel would be inaccurate - the monsters in this have more in common with the Irish Sidhe (with a touch of the vampire's weakness to sunlight), luring humans into their hollow hills with promises of eternal life. What makes the monsters in this effective, however, is their humanity, positive or negative (or both, depending on your definition of monster.) The themes of evil triumphing where good men do nothing is hammered home in the guise of several characters, and the theme of the revenant past and its corruptive bigotry, prejudice and barbarity of slavery." <br /><br /></span></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:12pt;">"The tension builds as the reader is allowed glimpse after glimpse of the entire landscape and the enticement of evil brought about by the promise of eternal life."</span></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:12pt;"></span></p><p> </p><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:12pt;">"It's like wandering through a city shrouded in thick fog, in clinging mist. The shapes seem familiar, you almost recognize them for what they are, but when the mist clears briefly, you glimpse that it was not what you thought it was and see just enough to know that it was something else. These brief glimpses are like a puzzle you forget that you are working on. With each new piece that falls into place, the picture becomes clearer, but you still don't know what that picture is. You were given the pieces without having the box to use as a guide.<span> </span>This would make a truly fearsome horror movie, and although it doesn't have a traditional happy ending, the way it does end is fitting."<br /><br /></span>
