"SAD GIRL" - 4 page full preview

The full story for Pantheon Blue from Dial R Studios.

Someone who read it said "It touches the full range of emotions."

Hopefully that means from captivated to exuberant, and not from ennui to annoyed ;)

"God Sighs" - 2 page preview

First 2 pages of my story "God Sighs" from Hope: New Orleans (Ronin Studios).

The book features a beautiful cover by David Mack (Kabuki, Daredevil) and is a benefit tpb for the Louisiana Red Cross.

"Ever Vigilant"

Page 1 of my sci-fi tale in Reflux #3.

Reflux was an annual series edited by Tom Valente and Mike Zagari, but sadly, this series of handsome softcover trades will be no more.

"Strangers In The Night" - 2 page preview

2 pages from my idea of a romantic comedy...an emotionally crippled less-than-superhero getting love advice from The Rot Pack...the zombie corpses of Frank, Dean and Sammy!

This story appeared in Somnia: Daydreams and Nightscapes (Ronin Studios)

"I've Got Your Number" - 2 page preview 

First 2 pages of "I've Got Your Number", a crime yarn from Reflux #4.

Art by Robert Robinson, whom I'll be collaborating with once again on "Theoretical Mechanics" for Insomnia Publications.

"TIP$" - 5 page full preview 

"TIP$" is an intense crime drama originally created for Viper Comics' ADGTD back-up contest.

Never saw print, but it will find a home soon, probably as part of a crime book I'm working on.

Art by Donal DeLay, lettering by Tom Mauer.

Just a word on this guy's bona fides - I've known Thommy (known in the internet sense, anyway) for years now. I first met him when he was a late submitter for an antho I was helping to edit. At the time, submissions were closed, but yet, somehow, he got in anyway. Why? Well, read his stuff and it'll be obvious. That story was "End of the Hunt," and he's only gotten better since. Check out his writing, or even better, hire him. He gives good word.
