Nightmare Stalkers and Dream Walkers, by Horrified Press
Nightmare Stalkers & Dream Walkers contains my short story titled, "Makin' Bacon", which brings a frightened woman face to face with a nightmare and leaves her husband a tasty surprise.
"Nightmare Stalkers & Dream Walkers attempts to invade the dream world, bringing back the weirdest and most terrifying tidbits—all for the amusement of the reader. The authors in these pages have dared to draw from their dream worlds, beating a path through the wilderness of the human subconscious in order to take us to places better left unexplored. But that's okay. Fiction can't hurt us. Neither can dreams. This much we know. We believe it. And yet, somehow, fear lingers, because we cannot be sure... Can we ever fully trust the hidden part of ourselves that seems to have a life of its own? Can we ever feel one hundred percent comfortable with those elusive shadows that flit in and out of our minds, leaving no trace in our memory? We can't help but wonder about dreams... What are they…? -Lindsey Beth Goddard: Author of Quick Fix: A Taste of Terror"

ABC's of Zombie Friendship

Illustrated by catt dahman
Bonds of friendship exist eternally within the confines of children's hearts. Neither a move to a new town nor an unthinkable expiry can remove the bond that joins true friends together. Not even when one becomes a zombie.
Matt doesn't allow the death and reawakening of his best bud Tate to dissuade him from adventures of youth. In the ABC's of Zombie Friendship the lads remain close and the alphabet expresses their bond one letter at a time.

No Sight for the Saved

"Surreal journeys through landscapes of the angry and abandoned, the lost and lonely and the weak and wounded. These are the realms of the Dead End Collective." The horror art of Niall Parkinson is used for inspiration for the short stories and poetry included in this anthology. This fully illustrated anthology is a wonderful collection of horror fiction inspired by horror art. Seeing is believing, and horror awaits."

Fractured Realms: A charity Anthology in Aid of the Autism Trust By Horrified Press
Fractured Realms: A charity Anthology in Aid of the Autism Trust includes a poem written by me, titled "If I Had One Wish". The poem strays from my usual horror and fantasy roots. Then again, what is more horrifying than finding out a child will suffer from autism for the rest of his or her life?
"Extraordinary people marked ‘not normal’ come from all different walks of life. For far too long, a shroud of darkness was thrown over those who’ve had boundless potential to transcend greatness; shunned and cast out through the misjudgment forced upon them. People enduring isolation from being trapped inside their own minds. People labeled with an ASD-Autism Spectrum Disorder. Seeds of greatness cannot be cultivated through judgment and condemnation. Imagine a world never having heard the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Never seeing the extraordinary art of Michelangelo? What if Sir Isaac Newton hadn’t discovered gravity, and laws of motion that would be relevant 300 years later? And for all the writers out there…were you aware that Lewis Carroll—author of ‘Alice in Wonderland’—fell under the umbrella of Autism? So to all of you, who are reading this, ask yourself… “Is Autism a disorder, or is it a gift?” Through their short stories and poetry, a collection of talented authors have tackled that question."
Horrified Press, at the direction of Suzie and Bruce Lockhart, compiled an amazing collection in this book. I am proud to be part of this collection and the cause that it supports.

Final Reverie, published by J. Ellington Ashton Press
After many changes, Final Reverie is finally released! This book became a part of me quite quickly, and I have been in love with it since the beginning. As my first full novel, I could not wait to share it with the world!
My debut novel, Final Reverie, is now available on kindle and paperback. Join in on the adventures of Franklyn and Chij as they embark on an epic journey and battle true evil.
"Mother Nature’s shrieks were heard across the realm when man’s technological burden ushered Armageddon upon her flesh. The malevolent urges within her magical aura escaped with a vengeance upon the lands, much of it finding solace in a concentration of power within the nefarious vessel of Nafets. Her only hope for a future of peace was to release her own virtuous magical aura upon the land, spreading it far into the hidden reaches of her peaks and valleys.
Two heroes, Franklyn – an adolescent boy, and Chij – his wolf brother, travel the land with a sole purpose of helping those that cannot defend themselves from the creatures that lurk and feed upon the weak. In a twist of fate, their carefree days come to an end when tasked to search out Nafets and destroy his hold upon the world, and once again balance out the yin and yang of magical existence.
Throughout their journey, Franklyn and Chij encounter heroes of the past that guide them toward the final battle, as well as Atrin - an aspiring adversary that wishes to overthrow Nafets and claim his seat upon the throne of malevolence.
Franklyn and Chij endure an emotional journey filled with blood, tears, and self-discovery as they encounter the unexpected and become entangled in an expedition that will test their abilities and emotions further than ever before."

Misunderstood: An Anthology for Those Hiding Behind a Mask of Hope
Misunderstood: An Anthology for Those Hiding Behind a Mask of Hope is a special project I have been working on. Although I have one poem included within, this book is the sum of some fantastic up and coming writers. Each was brave enough to share their inner feelings in both poem and story form. The editing may be rough in parts, the grammar may not be perfect. It isn't meant to be. Instead, I allowed the raw nature of the submissions to shine through the feelings that were emitted onto the page.

"Being a misunderstood youth in today's society can mean many things to many people. For a parent, it can be a confusing time. We often attribute misunderstandings to their use of technology, in lieu of the imagination that we expressed at their ages. For our children, it can be a frustrating experience. They desire relief form the pains they endure each and every day, whether emotionally, physically, or in secret, yet they fear the stigma of a drug induced cure. This book is about the frustrations, fears, facades, and frailties that our youth is faced with each and every day. It is an attempt to express the power of hope and desire for relief. The contributors within have agreed to share their bravery in the form of pictures and words, reveling the reality behind the mask that our youths wear each and every day."The contributors to this project are each new to the writing business, but their passion that is shared within is unmatched. Please feel free to review the book, not on the overall visual content, but on the emotional content that is within. After reading each piece, I urge you to then read their bios at the end to get a feel for the people that were brave enough to share their innermost thoughts.
