Theatre Macabre's New Cover and Public Appearances

Things have been super busy lately! Those of you who are on my Patreon know what's going on!

Theatre Macabre has been issued a new cover which showcases my third place win with the Canadian Book Awards and my nomination for an Elgin Award. 

You can pick up a copy of Theatre Macabre at Little Ghosts Bookstore in Toronto or order it online at Amazon. It will soon be in other places, my publisher assures me. 

You can pick up a copy of Theatre Macabre at the Dark Arts Market in Toronto on May 23. I'll be there and happy to sign it!

I'm still planning to attend Stokercon for now. We'll see how the next few weeks shakes out with politics and wars. 

In a couple of weeks, I'll be announcing a new project that I've been working on for a couple of months. I'm super excited about it. It's a way for me to teach Creative Writing for all levels of writers. 

Have a great day!

Celebrate the Lizzie Borden House Anthology in Fall River!

On November 9, 2025, you are invited to party with some of the authors from the Lizzie Borden House Anthology at the actual house where the murders took place. 

This is a two-hour event where you can buy drinks, buy a tour of the house, and buy a copy of the book. 

There will be authors on hand to read their work to you and sign your books!

Sadly, I myself won't be able to make the trek from Toronto to Fall River but I hope you all have an amazing time!

Take lots of pictures and tell me all about all the weird and strange things you saw at the launch and in the murder house!

 

Even if you can't make the event, you can pick up a copy of the book on Amazon and many other online bookstores!

Halloween Reading with Lizzie Borden

 

The Lizzie Borden House Anthology is finally here!

It was a year or two in the making, and we found some amazing stories for you all. 

Some horror (after all, it's a horrific crime!), some mystery, some time travel, some poetry...

Twenty-six entries in all!

Find it at Riverdale Avenue Books and Amazon as well as other places!

Another book I helped bring to life is InhuMANities from Andrew Robertson and published by the Great Lakes Horror Company!

This is his first solo book —a collection of horror, namely body-horror stories!

A gripping and compelling read that includes his first novella, "Pressed."

And if you feel like some short dark humour, you can pick up my poetry collection, Theatre Macabre!

Free Writing Workshops at Fan Expo

 This year, Sèphera Girón and Dorian Grant will be presenting THREE writers' workshops. 

You can come to one, you can come to all! They are all FREE with your Fan Expo admission. 

All the workshops are 45 minutes.

All workshops will have PowerPoint and short writing exercises. 

Since the workshop is so short, there won't be time to share with the class. If you have anxiety, this might be a relief!

For all of the workshops, please bring paper and a pen to take notes and complete the exercises. Sometimes paper and pen work better for free-flowing thoughts than typing on your phone. 

Write a Short Story Using Tarot Cards

You don't need to know anything at all about tarot cards. 

You can bring your own tarot cards to work with if you like. 

We will run through some exercises that will help you sketch out a story, book, or screenplay idea. 

So You Want to Write a Horror Story?

If you've come to my previous workshops, this one will be more concise with more writing time. 

With this workshop, we will explore elements of writing a horror story, book, or screenplay. 

You will be guided through a couple of exercises that will help you sketch out the bare bones of your story.

Write a Space Opera

You will be guided through a galaxy far, far away to examine some of the elements of writing a space opera. 

You will have a couple of space opera writing exercises. 

You will have the guidelines to work on a story, book, or screenplay at the end of the workshop. 

We're looking forward to working with you!
