What kind of books do you write?
I am a huge horror fan. Books, movies, games, anything. I have mostly written short horror stories but I am polishing a novel that leans more toward supernatural thriller. Also, I have a scifi story and a fantasy story, so I will eventually write and try out all kinds of story types, but for now—Horror is my jam.
Can you describe your writing why?
I think it mostly started with a much younger version of my friends and I leaving a less than satisfying movie and rewriting it in conversation to improve it. From there friends showed my roleplaying games. I became fascinated with those and before too long was running my own games and have been since the early 90s. There is a great satisfaction in people reading your work and being excited about it. That spark excites me and pushes me to write.
Share with us your favourite passage from the book you enjoyed writing the most
Steady raindrops pounded on the roof while the wipers flipped back and forth. He threw the car into drive and headed toward the Havern Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery Home. Most Thursdays he did this after this debate with himself. As he shifted gears, a small pang ached deep inside of him. One he tried to ignore but infected his idle thoughts. Tim’s gaze shifted from the road to the car’s armrest. He knew without checking, deep inside, under phone charger cords and old, random paperwork, sat six precious Vicodin pills. Six little white tickets to happiness. For emergencies, he lied to himself. His opioid hunger grew strongest whenever he visited Marc Kullen. It remained to be seen whether it was a psychosomatic effect of their relationship or a subconscious result of rejecting his rehab meeting.
Tell us about your latest project
While I still have a lot of clean up to do, I am currently working on my first book. It is about an eccentric billionaire that offers a long all expenses paid vacation to terminal patients with the agreement that afterwards, he gets to keep the deceased person’s body. (blood) It is a vampire-adjacent story. Is that a thing? Haha.
What is your favourite cake?
I really enjoy a Red Velvet cake. But honestly, I probably don’t turn down many types of cake.
