I’m excited and thrilled to announce that my new mystery/horror/romance novella, “Being Followed”, will be released on January 31st.
This one is a little different than others that I’ve written. It’s a bit of a departure because I rarely dabble in the romance genre (and rarely get political in my writing), but that’s because I was inspired/influenced by current events happening in the world. It was hard to ignore because it affected many people, but it was nice and refreshing to mix things up and go in a different direction this time instead of doing the usual paranormal thriller/monster of the week kind of story.
A major shout out and thank you to my beta readers, my editor, and to Mr. Dean M Drinkel for making all this possible!!

“Here ye, here ye, my friends, little boys and girls, and ladies and germs, come on down to the carnival and see the legendary Hanging Man in all its glory in the haunted house before summer ends…..come get your tickets at the booth for some summertime fun and thrills and some good, old-fashioned cotton candy, popcorn, and lemonade.”

OMG! This was a fun convention. Probably the best con I’ve been to since World Horror Con 2011 and Killer Con 2011. Great people, great vibes all around, and good book sales!
