My story collection URBAN NIGHTMARES is now available as an audiobook, read by the wonderful Quintin W. Allen. The Big Q has also read my short novels WEED (cowritten with Daryl Burns) and BAND OF GYPSIES (cowritten with C. Dennis Moore) and I'm always floored by how stunningly he brings my stories to life. He does some real virtuoso character work in this particular collection. 

Titles in URBAN NIGHTMARES include "Black Cab", "Phone Sex on the Nightside", "Hellcat Prom Night", "The Demon Wind" and "The Streetlight Filled with Flowers". 

Available in print, ebook and audio 
at Amazon, Audible, iTunes

Every March my alma mater, Columbia College Chicago, holds a Story Week Festival. It's one of the Windy City's premier literary events of the year. 

I wasn't able to make it this year, which is why I love podcasts like this one, featuring my former mentor Mort Castle as host, plus former mentor Phyllis Eisenstein and former classmate C.S.E. Cooney on the panel along with other luminaries like Jay Bonansinga (The Walking Dead) and Audrey Niffenegger (The Time Traveler's Wife).
