Finished the polishing phase of my “Days of Darkness” manuscript last Friday, and it is now off to the editor! It was a wild and intense journey in storytelling, as you might expect with a stand-alone novel set in my Hellscapes Universe. A lot of imagery, symbolism, and fantastical elements encompassing a single character narrative. I think those who love Clive Barker, Dante Alighieri, Wayne Barlowe, and even Lovecraft, are going to find a LOT to enjoy in the pages of this one. Can’t wait until I get to share this novel with readers! Special thanks to Tommy B. Smith for encouraging me to doRead More →
