Today is a special day for me because not only do I get to reveal my cover but I get to share it with friends...all of you! This book is special to me, because as you know, I love all things weird and strange.

0 Today, I’m beyond delighted to introduce the cover of the A PIZZA MY HEART anthology to you. For those of you who are curious about the cover, fabulous cover artist Haley Crosby wrote a spectacular overview of the process and what it was like. You can read that here.

Today, that book is being released into the world, and we could not be more excited and proud and just really happy to finally share it with everyone. HARROWED is a love letter to the '80s and early '90s horror movies that we grew up watching, and the music that provided the soundtrack to them as well. From Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Scream to Tesla, Def Leppard, and AC/DC, this book is full of references to that wonderful era of slashers an[...]
