I'm interested in stories and the dark side of peoples' minds.

I was kind of a dark kid. I loved Halloween, and I loved vampires and the black and white old monster movies.

Since I was a kid, I've had this morbid fascination with dark and scary subject matter.

I was a strange, dark little dude. I fell in love with horror movies, at a very early age. Somehow, as a first grader, I was able to convince my parents to let me go see stuff like 'An American Werewolf in London' in theaters, so I was headed in that direction anyway.

While I was in college becoming a good Catholic I was also becoming a writer - one haunted by Catholicism.

I was one of those dark, quiet kids that wrote poetry.

I spent years only ever reading horror and then trying to write horror - and deep down, a horror writer is still what I'd love to be. But it wasn't until I started writing crime that things began to work for me.
