I was asked to write a feature guest column for the online magazine Mystery and Suspense.

How far would you go to give shocks to another person for answering questions incorrectly on a game show? What if you wanted revenge on them and were paid to give the shocks? How might you react afterwards, should you encounter this person?
In The Chair, contestants and their shock-givers confront these questions. After watching their show on TV and seeing how it was edited, they discuss going public. When the show host learns of this, he threatens legal action-while, to himself, promises a worse fate for the former show guests. Then, faced their greatest crisis, the game show participants struggle for inner strength they are unsure they possess—and wonder if revenge was their only choice.
Click the Novel link above to read the first five pages, along with background information, such as the inspiration for the idea and some of the writing process. To read the entire first chapter, visit the publisher’s website: www.silverleafbooks.com

Finally have a publication date for my ebook, Internment!
Internment, a psychological suspense novel, to be published August 16! It'll be an e-book and looks like it'll sell for $4.99, available at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and Thewildrosepress.com
I describe the story as a combination of Orwell's classic 1984 (brainwashing) and Silence of the Lambs (a crazy psychiatrist)
Back of the book summary:
Eighteen year old Justin Hopkins ekes out a living writing freelance articles for magazines. When he receives an offer from his psychiatrist uncle to help write about ground-breaking research, Justin jumps at the chance. He travels to his Uncle Blake's isolated ranch with hopes of big-time publication. There, however, he is held captive and worn down, physically and mentally, by Blake and his followers—all, as Blake professes, to make Justin as ‘strong as possible’, in body and mind. Can Justin survive the torment? Or will he succumb and join the others, even bring harm to someone else, now believing it will make them as ‘strong as possible’?
I'll have further updates. Plan on having the first chapter and background info. on the novel (how I came up with the story idea, etc.) here later.
Hope everyone will like it!

When he receives an offer from his psychiatrist uncle to help write about ground-breaking research, Justin jumps at the chance. He travels to his Uncle Blake's isolated ranch with hopes of big-time publication. There, however, he is held captive and worn down, physically and mentally, by Blake and his followers—all, as Blake professes, to make Justin as ‘strong as possible’, in body and mind. Can Justin survive the torment? Or will he succumb and join the others, even bring harm to someone else, now believing it will make them as ‘strong as possible’?
I'll have further updates. Plan on having the first chapter and background info. on the novel (how I came up with the story idea, etc.) here later.
Hope everyone will like it!
Chalktrauma to be published in 2017!
Chalktrauma, a horror novel, is to be published sometime late in 2017, by Silver Leaf Books.
What is more important: Loyalty or self-preservation? When classmates have a substitute teacher with an unusual ability, they confront this question. High school seniors Rock and Lilly are dating when Bella, a substitute trigonometry teacher, fills in for the rest of the year and takes an interest in Rock. Though attractive and alluring, Bella isn’t afraid to instill discipline in her class and metes out punishment in a unique way—by running her long nails down the room’s blackboard. After several strange incidents, Rock decides it’s best to accept her advances. This causes friction between the young couple and their friends. When his relationships reach a critical point, Rock must make a choice. Will it prove beneficial? Or will it result in the end of all their friendships?
This one's still early in the publication process—haven't even gone through the first edits though the above cover and back-of-book-summary have been accepted.
After nearly ten years of rejections, two books to be published in one year! Go figure.
Will give updates as soon as I know more.

The novel Friendship has friends questioning each other’s trust and respect as life presents serious challenges. Arturo and Sophia plan a special night but circumstances prevent this from transpiring. Sophia then finds a suggestive photo of Arturo, which strains their relationship. Renaldo deals with alcoholic parents and his own temptation to drink, especially during a crisis involving his girlfriend. Millicent struggles with her introversion and an overprotective mother. Conrad is out to prove his manhood to his buddies. Wyatt has strong principles that are tested by the lure of the flesh. And Andrea thinks every guy she meets is Mr. Right—until a few dates, when he becomes Mr. Wrong. Impatient, she wonders if she will ever find her man. The responsibilities of adulthood have the friends drifting apart and feeling alone, even helpless. When the most formidable situations arise, will the friendship last?
