I couldn't be there, but last month LIVING DEATH RACE won the 2025 Splatterpunk Award for best Novella at @killerconaustin.bsky.social. Here are pictures of the award & the book, now that they are united in the same place! I was super excited to unbox it a few days ago! How cool is this trophy?

I came in 1st at a Pinball Tournament tonight at @noonwhistlebrewing.bsky.social! Paid for my beer! I got lucky, but it was super fun to meet and play with everyone. Noon Whistle has a great space and fun machines. And they are actually IN Naperville - most tourneys I've played in are 45 min. away!

I'm in Iowa City, IA this weekend and did some shopping at the iconic @prairielights.com downtown tonight. Found a copy of THE BLOODSTAINED DOLL "in the wild" (plus a couple other Flame Tree books). It's now a signed copy; if you're near Iowa City, stop by and take it home from the Mystery section!

Obligatory "Here I Am" post! I am a horror and thriller author celebrating 30 years of publishing in 2024. Last month, my 15th novel, THE BLOODSTAINED DOLL was released from Flame Tree Press. It's my second homage to the '70s-era Italian giallo films that I adore.
