My drabble was selected for inclusion in the Bloodlust anthology. Available in both Kindle and paperback editions. This collection brings fresh takes to the typical vampire story tropes.



I went a decidedly humorous route. My story, "A Remote Location," is story #102.

If you’re familiar with the opening chapter of Bram Stoker's Dracula novel you’ll appreciate "A Remote Location" all the more.

My book: It Came From...

Click here: It Came From ...

It Came From...contains 21 essays providing comparisons between original source material and the resulting film for such well-known classics as WIZARD OF OZ, WILLY WONKA, PSYCHOFLASH GORDON, and DRACULA.. Familiar treasures -- Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Body Snatcher" and Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol -- are covered, as well as lesser-known gems like Daphne du Maurier's short story behind the feature thriller, DON'T LOOK NOW, and M. R. James' "Casting the Runes," the basis for NIGHT OF THE DEMON. Faithfulness to the original, author and screenwriter biographies, their inspirations and challenges, and analysis of both versions of the famous works, all lead to an authoritative consensus for "Who did it better, and why?" Published in 2020 by Midnight Marquee Press.



Don't take my word for it. 😊 Read what others have to say:
