Every word you read on this website, and in every book I’ve written, came from a human brain. Mine. Yes, the same twisted one that dreamed up Copperhead Ted, the curse in Skeletons in the Closet, and the things lurking in the Spine Tinglers Collection.

I do not use generative AI to write, outline, edit, or “polish” my stories. I do not use it to create my cover art, graphics, or promotional images. The characters, the scares, the small-town secrets, and the monsters under the bed are all handmade, one late-night writing session at a time.

Why does that matter? Because horror is personal. It comes from real fears, real memories, and real experiences that no machine has lived. Many AI tools are also trained on the work of authors and artists who never gave permission and were never paid. I won’t build my career on that foundation.

When you buy a book from me, you’re supporting a real writer, and the real artists and designers I work with to bring these stories to life.

You may not like what’s hiding in the dark, but I promise a person made it. Me!
