Hello everyone!
Ah, summer is fading…and I couldn’t be happier. Ironic, isn’t it? Most around where I live are so sad to see summer go, but I can’t stand it. The heat, the humidity…I know I’m in the minority, but I’ll take ice and snow over that any day. It’s much easier to add layers to stay warm than to strip layers off to stay cool.
However, there are other reasons to be excited for autumn. Naturally enough, autumn is my favorite time of year, and that is in no part due to the fact that Halloween looms on the horizon! Call it cliché all you want, but I am a true Halloween fanatic. There’s no time of year that I feel more myself or in my groove than at All Hallow’s Eve. This in turn has given rise to my other great passion besides story-telling: haunting. I have been an active member of the professional haunted house industry since 2013, and will most likely continue to be so until my dying day…perhaps even beyond. For a time, I even tried to turn that into a full-time career, but as anyone in the entertainment industry can attest: making a living there is difficult at best. For niche pursuit like haunted attractions, the prospect of earning a living through that kind of work is even worse. A guy can dream though, right?
I still dream.
Writing was not my first career choice, but it was a very close second. Between writing and my day job, haunting has been relegated to more of a hobby than an actual career pursuit, but if my plans for this October proceed, than perhaps for the first time ever, I’ll be able to get paid to do what I love.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with the Twins…
Don’t forget that my haunted house novel, the Curse of House Corbant, is now available for pre-order pretty much EVERYWHERE. If you’ve already pre-ordered, then head on over to the “Buy” page to fill out the form for my pre-sale giveaway. Who doesn’t want free stuff!?
As always, stay scary my friends!
