Dismember The Coop10/22/2022 I am thrilled to announce that my story, “A Child Born Of Ashes And Shattered Teeth,” will appear in Dismember The Coop — A Horror Anthology benefitting The Solid Rock Teen Foundation started by Alice and Sheryl Cooper. Yes… THE Alice Cooper!
Dismember The Coop… features 17 stories inspired by Cooper’s music. I chose a lesser-known piece of Cooper’s, “Blue Turk,” as my inspiration for “A Child Born…”. For those of you unfamiliar with this piece, it’s from Cooper’s 1972 Album: School's Out. You can listen to the track HERE. The Solid Rock Teen Center serves disadvantaged and at-risk youth in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Scream Magazine Ad10/11/2022 I have purchased some ad space in the December '22 issue of Scream Magazine to accompany a review of Corpse Honey. This is the final render for the ad and includes some subtle changes to the original cover image. The ad itself was a pretty "heavy lift" creatively, as I had to redesign the janky CIPA logo (a low-resolution PNG file) and adjust the placement of the skull on the background in order to accommodate the text block at the bottom. This design represents one of three that I produced for the Magazine, but does not represent the design my friends and colleagues preferred, nor the one that I preferred (which was deemed too verbose by my ad's beta testers). SO, this design was the compromise.
