Toybox
Hello! 🙂 The paperback version of the Toybox is now available for preorder on the Horrified Press website. I have a story in this antho entitled “Watch Me”. Each Thirteen Press author chose a toy to write about. I just liked the theme so much that I couldn’t resist writing something for the antho! I went with the creepy Chatter Telephone.
The toybox awaits…

Undead Legacy
Readers of hardcore horror and zombie fiction, Undead Legacy is now Available on Amazon!!! 🙂
You stir early, removing your head from the beaten pillow. Your home is silent. The familiar, everyday noises that introduce you to the beautiful morning are absent. The dog barking, the neighbour’s irritating car alarm, the flush of the toilet – all missing. After stumbling down your hallway, stepping into your slippers and avoiding the rug that always attempts to break your neck, you open the front door, adjust your eyes, yawn and…
You scream.
The world before you is chaos, mayhem, absolute anarchy. No…it’s an apocalypse. A zombie apocalypse, where the living dead rule and humans are a tasty, but pesky afterthought. You look to your left and see a group of the undead. Your dog is massacred, mercilessly shredded between them like a sloppy, gore soaked entrée. Their eyes lock onto you. You’re dessert. You gulp, pee your pants, panic…what do you do?
From JEA Wetworks comes Undead Legacy, an anthology of undead horror. Featuring 23 stories and poems from some of the best writers in the genre today. Whatever your view on the undead – modern, old school, classic, fast, slow – there’s something for everyone in Undead Legacy. With two very special forewords from Terry M. West and Richard Laymon artwork aficionado Steve Crisp, Undead Legacy looks to cement its place in horror literature for years to come.
The Ripple Effect
THE RIPPLE EFFECT is now available on Kindle for $1.00 only!
with my story, “Cat” — a bizarre dystopian horror tale
Join over 20 authors from around the world, some of the best working in the indie fiction scene today, as they ready themselves to divulge the terrifying prophesied truth that surrounds the topic of climate change and its effects on our fragile planet.
ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to Greenpeace, so tell your friends, spread the word, and help us raise lots of money for this worthwhile cause.

Arachnophobia
Hey!! It’s been a while. So I got sick 😦 and I’m currently recuperating. Sick of eating soup coz it’s the only thing that I can swallow at the moment. ugh >< And the first thing that I intend to eat after I feel slightly better is a big fat bagel with cream cheese. I don't know why. lol 🙂 🙂 Anyway, I hope you're well! It's almost summer here in the PH and I honestly can't wait to hit the beach.
Are you afraid of spiders? Or maybe, like me, you're just fascinated with them…
