Russell Dickerson's Cover Art for the Skillute Cycle

At his Web site, artist Russell Dickerson writes about our 3-year, 4-book collaboration on the Skillute Cycle. Before a reader buys a book, before she considers the synopsis or reviews, something has to catch her eye. That something is the cover art and design, created by Russ Dickerson to convey the world and characters of Skillute.

Many thanks, Russ.

Delphine Dodd

The first of three Knock Knock related novellas, Delphine Dodd is set to be published by Omnium Gatherum Media next Friday, September 28th. Ahead of publication the novella has a review at HellBound Times. Artist Russell Dickerson has written a post about the process of designing the cover. 

Before the town had a name, people buried their dead on the mountainside. Now Mont des Morts exists only in memory, but its ghosts still haunt Delphine's family.

Knock Knock

My supernatural horror novel Knock Knock is now available for Kindle:

With cover design and illustration by Russell Dickerson.

At the center of this novel-length fable are Ethel, Beverly, and Marietta, best friends stuck in the backwater of Skillute, Washington. Their neighbors and families are petty or poor or both; but when these townies warn the girls not to wander into Skillute's dense forest, they mean it. Something evil lurks there. The girls are not convinced. They wander into the woods, and their mistake unleashes a malignant spirit that terrorizes Skillute for the next fifty years.

Something evil has come home.
