If you’re interested in a very brief story, but you’d rather someone else read it to you, my flash fiction piece, “Coffin Coffee Table,” is now available from Manawaker Studios Podcast!

I have one book that has never been released as an ebook or print book, though you can read it online at Channillo. If you like creepy, atmospheric stories told in a found document format, you should definitely check out Camp Haunt. Camp Fairmarsh, founded in 1883, has a long tradition of giving teenage girls a […]
