He has a hard time staying on the subject at hand and hates sweet potatoes.

Credits include: Editor for Western Tales of Terror and Elk's Run from Hoarse & Buggy and the upcoming World's End; Writer of various short sequential stories appearing in Elk's Run, WToT, Red Chapel and more; Publisher and Editor for the anthology, Postcards; and Workhorse on his storytelling blog, The Moose in the Closet.
