Congratulations

You made it! Now indulge further into my unadulterated world of fantasy and dark fiction. My latest venture, as those of you who follow me on social media, or are subscribed to my newsletter know, is the publication of my short stories. Plus, the addition of coloring books to the store!

Regarding the short stories: My second one, entitled “The Books,” is now available. Click here to get it from Amazon. For a list of all other online bookstores where you can get it, click here. Click here to get it from Google Play.

For my dark fantasy fans, I have not abandoned writing long from fiction. Below is text from the backmatter of The Books in which I discuss this more:

To those of you who are familiar with my previous work, what I’m about to say is no news. Aside from my other short story, The Burglar, The Books represents a change in direction from all of my other writings to date. Namely, the fantasy subgenres, dark, grimdark, high, epic, and dark fantasy/horror.

I’m taking a break—taking a break I said—as opposed to giving up writing epic long form fiction to concentrate on releasing a series of short stories. I’m going to publish them individually, then collectively, as a compilation.

The aim is to mess with readers’ minds in a different way, or give them something more to think about, which is risky. How so? Some readers, in particular, newer ones, may prefer the tone, pace, and gist of the short form pieces, while others who’ve been with me for years may only care for the epic dark fantasy stories.

I have thought about these possibilities thoroughly and decided to publish the short stories anyway. That said, going forward, I might have to rebrand myself as a dark fiction author as opposed to merely dark fantasy, the former being a more inclusive description.

Again, taking a break is the operative word here. I’m not through with writing the kind of doom and gloom stuff I started out with. For that matter, there is a book number three to my Underworld series in the works, but as of this writing, I’m only about half of the way done with that, and I don’t think I’ll have it completed before the year 2023 is over.

In the meantime, enjoy the short stories, or I hope you will.

Free Screensavers and Wallpapers

Can I interest you in some screensavers for your smart phone? You can get them if you click here, which, mind you, will take you to a link outside of this website to my online storefront.

The video below features some of the main characters from my dark fantasy novels. If you have no clue who they are but would like to find out and quickly, like without having to do a lot of reading, then I suggest getting the free book that is a pictorial guide at the top of this page. You can click here to download it.

Get your screensavers about places from the books by clicking here.

Below are a couple of the images that are currently available from my online store. Again, be mindful that clicking on the link will take you to a page outside of this website because that’s where my online store is. The wallpapers and the screensavers are works in progress. More images will be added to the store as time goes on.
