Picture PMonday: East End Irregulars 2 Cover Preview
So the cover for the second East End Irregulars book, Dismal Tide, has progressed enough that I’m OK with sharing a preview. This cover has been tough, not in the painting of it, but in deciding what should go on it. Mike and I were back and forth a dozen times before we decided, and […]
The Dismal Tide is almost here!
We had hoped to get The Dismal Tide out by the end of the first full week of October, but that deadline has come and gone.

‘The Dismal Tide’ Update; Preorders at Retrocon

I’ve been a beta tester for a while now, and it’s just been opened up for public viewing. Now I want to […]
Happy Valentines Day from the East End Irregulars!
#Saturday Scenes – A romantic interlude for Valentine’s Day

These scenes are usually no more than 1,000 words and can be from published works or works-in-progress. The event is especially popular on Google Plus. I have been participating in #SaturdayScenes on and off for […]
Unsolved Haz-Mat Mystery that inspired ‘Miasma’
This article was originally published on July 25, 2014. Now that After Dark is out, I can share one of my favorite tales of High Strangeness from my local area. But first, a scene from the “Miasma” chapter of After Dark to set the mood: “I must have missed something,” said Sebastian Pereira as he […]
