Brand New Novel - LOONEY!

Hi everybody!

I'm ecstatic to announce that I've just released a new novel with my good friend, Gavin Dillinger. It's called LOONEY! and it's a little...out there. Horror? Yes. A little cartoonish comedy? Also yes. Child friendly? ABSOLUTELY NOT, NO WAY, KEEP IT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!


When beloved cartoon characters come crawling out of her TV, army recruiter Gabriella Harman expects a zany romp instead of the hellish nightmare that follows.


One night, haunted by her memories of Iraq, Gabriella downs a stomachful of pills and booze. When her favorite cartoon characters, the Kooky Toons, start crawling out of the TV, she assumes she is hallucinating.

But soon Gabriella finds herself locked in a battle of wits and wills with Herman Hyrax, the world-famous, wise-cracking mascot of the Kooky Korporation. Herman is more than just a stinker, though. He may be a monster, a demon, a god, or something entirely more unwholesome.

Is Gabriella’s descent into a world of cartoonish violence and psychological torment real? Or has she simply gone…

LOONEY!?

You might be thinking that a book co-written by myself and Gavin Dillinger might be a bit...weird. We have totally different styles, so you might assume that surely us combining forces would produce something odd and freaky.

.....Yeah. You'd be right. We teamed up to write a horror story and what we've released might just drive you a little looney too - you've been warned!

If you'd like to pick up your copy, it's available at AMAZON.
