My collection of short stories (The Great Dark: Noir and Horror Stories of World War One) is now available on Amazon in both book and kindle formats. Here’s the summary from the back of the book.

These stories give voice to the unheard players of the Great War (1914-1918): the assassin, African-American soldiers on burial detail, women and children from both sides of the fight, and the conscripted soldiers from Russia, the Ottoman Empire, French West Africa, Ireland, and the United States. The brutality and evil of the Great War is reimagined by incorporating dark fantasy within the historically accurate settings and accounts.

Several of these stories appeared in anthologies and magazines which prompted me to keep writing short stories in the “horror history” genre. I had a lot of fun incorporating the dark elements, but ultimately all of the stories deal with human needs and desires within the horrific backdrop of war.

This encaustic painting I did is called “Kneeling in the Silver Light.” It’s related to my short story Unknown Soldier in the Kneeling in the Silver Light Anthology  . Encaustic paints are a combination of beeswax, damar resin, and pigments which requires a hot palette to melt the encaustic.

I’m also working on a book that combines fiction and nonfiction related to World War One.
