Praise for If You Go Into The Woods:
“There are definite shades of HP Lovecraft in both stories…punchy, entertaining reads with a bit of mental gymnastics thrown in, you can’t go wrong with this one.” — Jenny Mounfield, The Compulsive Reader, author of The Ice-cream Man.
“Two very well-constructed and thought-provoking tales from an author I know I will be keeping my eyes on. 4.5 stars.” –Heather L. Faville, Doubleshot Reviews
“This is the most professional design – both inside and out – that I have seen since I started reviewing at SIFT. The writing in this story is top-notch. The writer has a strong, clean voice. He’s able to sustain an air of mystery and suspense without it feeling cheap.” — Sarah Nicolas, SIFT Book Reviews
“I heartily recommend this masterful piece of work to any and all that thoroughly enjoy the art of the word, and especially to those that have a special place in their hearts for short stories, as I believe this to be a fabulous exponent of the genre.” — LE Olteano, Butterfly Books
Transfection
Transfection was released on May 21, 2011. It’s another short story, but this time with an old-school science fiction vibe. It’s also available for $0.99 from Amazon, Amazon UK, and Smashwords.

Praise for Transfection:

“Well written…a polished product.” — TC, Booked Up Reviews
“Very strong images…a haunting quality…I totally did not expect that ending. I really didn’t see it coming…I recommend this to people who enjoy well written sci-fi.” — LE Olteano, Butterfly Books
