Horror Books/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer any and all questions on the WRITING of Horror. Please DO NOT ask me to help you find horror books or "what book is this/this from" types of questions, as I can't answer those. As a busy author myself, the last thing I have time to do is read other author's works. As a best selling, triple award winning Horror Sinisteria/Dark Eclectic and Paranormal/Occult author I have written everything from "kid's horror" to make-you-have-nightmares-and-sick-to-your-stomach works. I also specialize in self-publishing having seen great success in it. I can help you develop characters if you find it difficult and can also help with writer's block. Need help hiring an editor? I can tell you what to look for when hiring an editor. I can help with all general questions about self publishing...all the basics of what you need to know.

Experience in the area

Published for seven years. Celebrity Author.

Publications

Everything from print magazines to e-publications.

Education/Credentials

Self taught. I find that colleges kills true creative writing talent in favor of writing by a prescribed formula which is not always what the public wants.
