Welcome to Haunted Dreams, Dark Destinies, a site for my urban fantasy and paranormal stories. My short novel, Death Sword, is available from Lyrical Press. I also have a short story “It’s in Your Blood” in Bites – Ten Tales of Vampires. (Click on the covers to purchase the books on Amazon.com.)
I’ve been interested in the paranormal from an early age. As a child, I would turn my dolls to the wall before I went to sleep because I believed they would steal my soul. My favorite shows involved the supernatural – Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Thriller, and One Step Beyond. My reading tastes turned to horror, mystery, thrillers, and fantasy, including Ray Bradbury, Madeleine L’Engle, Stephen King, Robert Arthur, H.P. Lovecraft, and August Derleth.
I started writing in the 6th grade and my first stories were horror stories handwritten on notebook paper and stapled together. I called the collection Tales of Terror and there were three “issues” of three stories each. Even then, I asked for feedback, leaving space for reader comments on the back.
After stints as a performance reviewer and freelance magazine writer, I returned to writing fiction. My stories are about angels, demons, vampires, wolf shifters, and other preternatural beings that continue to fascinate me.
Maybe one day, I’ll even write about dolls.
You can find out more about Death Sword at my Angels of Death site or read my companion blog, Darkling Delights.
