Really proud of this novel and I'm so thrilled it's finding readers (and libraries!). Huge thanks to The New York Public Library for including SARAFINA as one of their Best New Horror Books of 2026. Available in ebook, paperback, or audiobook.

Thanks to the festival for having me and for the incredible audience I was able to share my story with. And yes, that’s Viggo Mortensen as Satan in a movie I worked on a million years ago called THE PROPHECY. Thanks to Kelly Young for the photo.

Was honored to give the keynote speech to a packed theater at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival last night. I spoke about my on again, off again career in film, shared anecdotes about my experiences, and discussed how the career we always dream of can sometimes be achieved in ways we never expected.

Excited to be attending the 2026 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival as the literary Guest of Honor this weekend. Events will be in the Hollywood Library. I have a panel at 12pm, a reading at 1pm, followed by a book signing at the theater. A keynote speech will be at the theater on Saturday at 7pm.
