Q: What will e-readers like about your book?
I think DEAD OF WINTER will appeal to fans of TV shows like The Twilight Zone and Tales from the Crypt, and considering the season in which we find ourselves trapped, what better way to spend an afternoon than inside, away from the cold while you read about the terrible things that might be awaiting you out there in the snow...
Q: Why did you go indie?The majority of my books have been published as limited edition hardcovers over the past ten years, but because of the limitation on those editions, the prices have always been fairly high, and therefore too expensive for anyone but the hardcore collector. Indie publishing represents a great way to get those books before a wider audience at a much more affordable price.
