Tomorrow’s the big day! ONLY SURVIVAL REMAINS hits shelves and ereaders at midnight. I had a blast writing this sequel with my buddy @zachbohannon.bsky.social . This action-packed post-apocalyptic EMP thriller never lets up!

How far would you go to protect your child at the end of the world?

I’ve been busy over at The Suspense is Killing Me podcast! We dropped the first episode of 2025 last week. Have you hung out with Stephen Schreffler yet? Well here’s your opportunity! We had a fun conversation about his book THE BLEED, music, and horror sci-fi.

I’m doing the thing where I put my ebooks on sale for a ridiculously low price ($.99 each) so you can enjoy them for the holidays. Or whenever. I don’t care when you read them as long as they stick to your soul like napalm, burning their way through your essence. Buy a book?
