This book showed a lot of heart. Well written, beautiful scenery and great knowledge of boats and the ocean. Between those things and the intense conflict, I enjoyed the book. Its downfall however was the head hopping and a cast that seemed just too big for such a simple plot. I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Creitz at a book event a couple of years ago.

Happy Holidays from my family to yours! This month's newsletter is going to be short and sweet. I don't have much as far as updates on projects and I don't want to bring down your holiday spirit. My family is currently mourning the loss of my grandmother Virginia Eastman. As a holiday gift from me to you, please enjoy a free short story. If you enjoy it, please consider buying one of my three collections SHADOWS & KEYHOLES, THE REJECTED ONES, or THE DIAMOND HIGHWAY. All three

If you love diving into thrillers, horror, or diverse fiction, you know how overwhelming it can be to pick your next read. There are so many books out there, and not all of them hit the mark. That’s where book reviews come in handy. They help you decide what’s worth your time and what might be a miss. But beyond just helping you choose, book reviews play a bigger role in the reading world. Let’s explore why they matter and how you can get the most out of them. The Importance

Having only been familiar with the movie adaptations, I didn't know what to expect from this book. Being that it's that time of year, I gave it a shot and I wasn't disappointed. This book kept me entertained from beginning to end and it holds up well considering how old it is. Some of the language is a bit antiquated but the story is still just as fascinating as it undoubtedly was upon its debut.

Thrills, murder and pastries? Beware, this book has teeth. Wrought with twists, turns, lies and secrets, this page turner packs a powerful punch. There were a few instances where I couldn't wrap my head around the main characters decisions, but otherwise an unsettling read with heart.

Queen City Expo My fellow conspirators My wife and I spent three days in Bangor earlier this month at a convention called Queen City Expo. We had a really good time and got to meet some rather interesting people. At these conventions they usually have celebrity guests. Among them this year were, Tom Kenny (Voice actor,) Tom Arnold (Comedian) and Billy West (Voice actor.) The only one of the three that I met was Billy West, who played the voices in popular TV shows like Ren &

Cathedral Cast and Crew My fellow conspirators It's been a while since we last spoke. For that, I'm sorry. If you follow me on any of the social media platforms, you may already know, but I've recently spent time in Europe. Ireland specifically, which in itself was an amazing experience. I've never really been out of the country, unless you count a single visit to Canada of which I have little to no memory of.  Since my return home, we've also filmed the short film Cathedral.
