science fiction, horror, and dark fantasy series such as the Twilight Zone.
"A Chance in Hell" - Life is about to get worse
for one troubled youth after he breaks into a house he thought was empty.
"Greet the World" - A company employee is told
he'll die if he tries to resign.
"Nox Noctis" - What would happen if one day all
light ceased to exist? The characters in this story are about to find out.
"Scents of Life" - A husband has a late-night
encounter with a mysterious woman cloaked in disarmingly familiar fragrances.
"The Uncanny Valley"
- The war between man and machines is the least of one survivor's problems in
this post-apocalyptic future.
These, and eleven more tales, will launch you on a journey
from the comforts of normalcy to a valley in which nature refuses to tread.
Q: What will e-readers like about your book?
I think readers will like the fleshed-out characters and the
Twilight Zone vibe that flows throughout the book. There is a surreal aspect,
an air of menace that follows the main character, which will keep readers
turning the pages until they reach the shocking conclusion.
Q: Why did you go indie?
Q: Why did you go indie?
I’m independent by nature. I wanted control of the process
and I didn’t mind investing the time learning the ropes. I also think, the way
things are going, that going indie doesn’t prevent new authors from signing
print deals with publishing houses later. Going this route in reverse, however,
would prove more difficult, as traditionally-published authors have attested.
Q: Who are your favorite authors in your genre?
Jeffrey Deaver and Haruki Murakami.
