Waiting for a good horror novel to darken your door? Check out Kevin Lucia’s post on Warrior Writer’s for a few classic suggestions that you may have never heard of.
Okay, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Yeah, a series on horror? Well, if you spent five minutes with some of MY family members, a chainsaw might sound like a great idea. Truth be told, horror is one of my FAVORITE sub-genres and our WANA International Instructor Kevin Lucia? He’s an AMAZING teacher. Also, horror is one of those genres that goes for the guts (no pun intended). It truly probes the human condition, and whether or not we are fans, we can learn A LOT from what horror authors do best.
All great stories probe what we FEAR. This is the essence of good storytelling. Whether it is the fear of not finding love or losing love or not achieving a goal? FEAR is the heart of conflict.

To everyone who downloaded their free copy of Hindsight, I got mad love for you, homes. I hope you enjoy the novel. If you uber-like it, be sure to leave a review on your favorite review site, be it Goodreads, Amazon, Librarything, or __insert favorite book oriented website__. I’d love to personally field any questions you may have about the characters, the plot, my writing style, and even my secret beard-growing formula. Just leave me a comment after the beep.
Yes, I know. This blog has been quiet for way too long. I have also missed my publishing date by more than a few miles. I apologize for that. The good news is that it is ready. It is finally ready for publication. Hindsight will be available within the week on Amazon Kindle. Stay tuned for further updates.
Well, apologies for the delay in publishing the novel. The editing process has taken a little bit longer than anticipated. Rest assured, I am working hard to push it through the last few stages to get it out the gates and onto the track. In the meantime, here is that back cover copy that should give you a taste of what’s to come. Reactions?
“I am hurtling eight stories to the pavement. There’s a bullet in my left shoulder and another chewing through my lung. I am going to die.”
Shirley O’Shea was putting the pieces of his life back together in Camden, New Jersey before a bomb blast blew it all to hell. It had been three years since he got out of prison. He’d been trying to bury his violent past and his family’s history of shame and loss. Now he’s learning that there is more to that family history than he ever knew. Shirley’s left to figure out what he’s gotten himself into, who he can trust and what lengths he’s willing to go to in order to keep his family safe.
But Shirley has a few skeletons of his own banging on the closet doors, and the hinges are starting to come off.
