Retrieval Service

Last year I pulled all my short stories off of Amazon, in anticipation of publishing them in a collection together. The project was originally titled 13 for Thirteen, and consisted of thirteen stories written during the year 2013. I completed the project, wrote all 13 stories, and even had a number of them published in various anthologies, online, and even in a comic book.

One of those stories, RETRIEVAL SERVICE - was the very first to be published, in the anthology COMFORT FOODS, edited by Nikki Nelson Hicks. It is also currently in pre-production to be turned into a FILM version by Nashville film-maker Cameron McCasland!


The story concerns a man named James who works at a cemetery digging graves. He enjoys his job - honest work for honest pay. But when a shady coworker suggests they can benefit from the items buried with their clients, James gets more than he bargained for...


I recently made it available again on Amazon. It will still be published in the upcoming collection as well... but, more on that tomorrow!

New short story published in COMFORT FOODS anthology

Spooky greetings, folks!

October is here - it's my favorite time of the year, and I've been making the most of it! Decorating the house to the hilt (yeaah, I'm THAT guy, the one in the neighborhood that goes all out with the home haunt), watching lots of spooky movies, and getting out to as many haunted attractions as possible. Along with all of the holiday festivities I have been busy writing, too. Working on finishing up my Thirteen for 13 series as well as some non-fiction works. In fact, one of my most recent tales, RETRIEVAL SERVICE, was just published in the anthology COMFORT FOODS.

 Available at AMAZON here

Edited by Nikki Nelson-Hicks, this anthology features 13 stories from the Nashville writer's group. Nikki put a call out on Facebook for more entries, so I submitted my most recent story. I wasn't actually a member of the Nashville writer's group - In fact I joined just so I could submit this story. But regardless, it's my first printed work and I'm happy to see it in print!

So Happy Halloween to all of you, and may your jack o'lanterns always burn bright!!
