Sorry my dear readers, it has a been a slow time for writing horror stories. Last year I recorded a metal record with the infamous Converge drummer, Ben Koller, and it consumed all of my free time, but it was one of the greatest experiences as a writer in general. The band is called Salt Divination and the record is titled The Boiled Sorceress. It was an overwhelming fan moment and it pushed me to my musical limits. The record was released in January of this year and can be found on all streaming musical websites. (Links below)
The record was featured in Decibel Magazine
As for writing my next book..that is in the works and I am using the Tabernacle of Oddities show in Tampa (September 4th and 5th 2025) as my deadline. The new title is The Venomous Hand of the Darling. It is set in the early 1970s, and is about a group of college girls traveling to a Led Zeppelin concert, but plans change when they run into a Pentecostal snake cult. It will be a mix between the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Midsummar. The plan is to release it under my imprint on Amazon and only physical hardcopies available through Barnes & Noble.
Shows:
Tampa Bay Screams (I love the promotor and this show) May 8th & 9th, 2026.
Tabernacle of Oddities (always a pleasure) September 4th & 5th, 2026.

I promoted the The Boiled Sorceress on Brandon Legion’s podcast.
I was also on Chuddle the Pod this year promoting The Boiled Sorceress and talking horror movies.
