Demon Available Once Again

My novel Demon is once again available in print and as an e-book. If you've read it or bought it before, there are no major changes to the version you already own other that I firmly root the date of the story in the year 2009. It just seemed to make sense considering the book came out over ten years ago and a lot has happened (and continues to happen) in the Middle East that a little historic context was more appropriate.

Other than that, it's the same. Of course, if you've never read it, well, it'll be new to you.

Mike Caldwell is a CIA assassin who thinks he’s finally got a real case to work on. At a remote construction site in Iraq, something deadly and dangerous has been unearthed, and Mike believes he’s dealing with a powerful pathogen that turns the infected into primal killing machines. The truth, however, is far worse.

The ancient prison of the fallen angel Semyaza has been uncovered, and for the first time in thousands of years it is free to roam the earth, possessing the bodies of the humans he hates. And everywhere his goes, Hell is sure to follow.

Now Mike is on Semyaza’s trail, hunting a demon whose mere presence turns every living thing near it into a weapon of mass destruction. Both merchants of death are on a collision course, while the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.



The paperback's available on Amazon. E-book versions are available in numerous locations. Hit the links below if you're interested.

Blood Spring Back in Print


My very first published book, Blood Spring, is back in print! It's been around as an ebook since it first came out, but if you weren't lucky enough to pick up one of the limited edition trade paperbacks Bad Moon Books released way back in 2010, well, here's your chance to get a hard copy.

Henry just wants his garage back. Well, he wants his wife back, too. He lost both six months ago when Claire helped an injured deer on the side of the road. In went the deer and out went the BMW. Their marriage went on hold to save what some would consider a damn good meal.

But the day has come to return everything back to normal. The deer is healthy and Henry and Claire spend a quiet spring morning releasing it in the woods. Serenity soon turns to terror as they realize they are lost in the labyrinth of the forest with no food and hardly any water.

Food and water are the least of their worries. In these woods a long-forgotten god is worshiped. Its followers believe in sacrifice, and Henry and Claire have stumbled into their dark world.

Bison People Now Available in Paperback and as an Ebook


Many years ago, I wrote a dark crime novella called Stamped with Blood and published it under a pen name (Lou McBride). No one bought it so I revised it, made it darker, and retitled it Father & Daughter and published it under my name.

Some people bought it but I was never happy with it and it never came out in anything other than electronic form. So, I've gone back, revised it, and retitled it.

I bring to you Bison People. In print and ebook formats. Here's the pitch:


In the gritty criminal underworld, survival means making choices—sometimes between bad and worse. For Samantha, life has always been about facing storms head-on, just like her father taught her. Raised by a man who transformed from a high school teacher to a ruthless drug dealer after her mother’s brutal murder, she knows the rules of their dark world all too well.

Caught in the crossfire of her father’s escalating violence and depravity, she grapples with the darkness inside her, trying to determine how much of her father’s legacy she can accept without losing herself. The lines blur between victim and accomplice as she navigates a life filled with drugs, exploitation, and relentless manipulation. But when her father’s eyes turn cold with intent to kill, she faces a choice: let the cycle of violence continue or find a way out before she’s ensnared forever.

Will she break free from her father’s shadow, or will the sins of the father become the sins of the daughter?

Train Pagans Now Available as an Ebook

Kindle  |  Nook  |  Kobo


Sometimes, an anthology comes along with a specific theme and has a call for submissions. Recently, I wrote a story for an anthology with a very specific theme, got short-listed, waited a couple of months, only to get the word my story didn't make the final TOC.

Which is okay. I can handle rejection. Of course, though, when there's an anthology with a very specific theme, there tend to be a lot of stories that suddenly flood other markets with that theme that also got rejected by said antho.

Well, rather than add to the pile of rejected stories flooding other markets, I took my story and put it up as a standalone e-book.  Above are the links if you're interested. Below is the summary.

Roald Foote’s routine trip from San Diego to Los Angeles takes a sinister turn when he encounters a bizarre clown and his unsettling young companion at Santa Fe Station. Initially amused by the clown’s outlandish appearance, Roald soon becomes unnerved as the pair board the same train and initiate a chilling tarot card reading.

With each card drawn, the clown and the mysterious child reveal increasingly disturbing insights into Roald’s past and present, culminating in the horrifying truth about his recent actions. As the train hurtles towards its destination, Roald realizes he cannot escape the darkness of his deeds or the malevolent entities that have targeted him for retribution.
