I have two books out. Working on a third. A Midnight Train to Everywhere is a ghost story that can feel a bit like C.S. Lewis meets Stephen King and Easy Prey is a vampire story that is a violent political satire on the way society treats homelessness. Both are available in print and ebooks.

“He said that there was death and taxes, and taxes was worse, because at least death didn’t happen to you every year.” Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett #grimreaper #halloween #watercolor #horror #terrypratchett

“Do you think Danny’s okay?” Tim asked as Andy was tucking him into bed. He looked up at her with his chubby, blushed cheeks and oversized blue eyes. She shouldn’t have been surprised by the question. #dannyspellman #indieauthor #horror #comingsoon #booklovers

“I have love in me the likes of which you could scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe.” #frankenstien #thebrideoffrankenstein #maryshelley #acryliconcanvas #halloweenart

Do you like art if you don’t go see Wildwood in the theater?

I tried a new recipe for molten souffle😋 because I am an amazing chef! I'm an expert! For some unknown reason though, the universe conspired against me? The souffle sucked! So I left a big cocoa mess all over the kitchen and I "checked out."🤡 My wife saw all the mess, and me chillin' on the couch.

Halloween isn’t just for boy. Girls can can also be whatever they want. #halloweeniscoming #princess #dragon #watercolor #art

Thinking about my next book cover is where two of my hobbies collide. Danny Spellman is coming along nicely. I’ve just finished a full round of edits and am going to be sharing it with some friends soon. #indieauthors #horror #halloween #selfpublishing #coverart

Spending the morning drinking coffee and editing the first draft of my next book. Can’t rush a good thing. Danny Spellman….coming soon, or not. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #indieauthor #books #selfpublishing #writing #writersofbluesky

The Trump administration can’t even pay their employees on time. He is a failure and continues to do generational damage to our great country.

I know folks like the Evil Dead franchise and that’s cool, but I want a new Army of Darkness. ##armyofdarkness #evildead #halloween #mixedmedia #ash

I don’t know if I’ll be able to make a drawing everyday until Halloween, but I’m still trying. Today’s monster is from the new Resident Evil movie. #residentevil #halloween #monsters #zombies #watercolor

“That proves you are unusual,’ returned the Scarecrow; ‘and I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed.” L. Frank Baum #scarecrow #halloween #sketchbook #october

“Magic horn is mine, mine, mine! Now all creatures will love the night, and worship goblins as divine.” Blix from Ridley Scott’s Legend I feel like the Goblin is an underrated and underused Halloween Monster. #watercolor #goblins #legend

More kids will go dressed up as Spider-Man than as Frankenstein or any other monster this Halloween. That’s why Spider-Man is my Halloween drawing for today. #spiderman #halloween #halloweencostumes #watercolor

We never bury the dead, son. Not really. We take them with us. It’s the price of living. -Henry Parrish Did anyone watch the 2013 TV show? I didn’t, but I love the quote by Henry Parrish. Is it too early to get into the Halloween spirit?

In a week full of ups and downs it was good working with people that understand the meaning of Solidarity. Thank you for making this journey worth all the time, blood, sweat, tears, and heartache. Thank you for laughter, the joy, and the hope. #solidarity

An angel went home today. ❤️

I really liked waking up to pictures and videos of Spider-Man punching Neo-Nazis. It was the perfect compliment to my morning coffee.

Anyone else read this one? I heard from a friend that it was pretty good.
