The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes

This anthology includes tales that may have inspired Conan Doyle to create Holmes, some that competed with him for the public’s affection, and some that sought to fill the gap between his apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls and his reappearance a decade later. Holmes may have defined the early “golden age” of detective fiction, but he was far from alone.

Colonial Horrors

From Increase Mather to H. P. Lovecraft, this anthology of classic horror tales pays tribute to the birthplace of American horror: the Colonial era with its dark woods, stifling religion, and witch hysteria. If you like Sleepy Hollow, Colonial Gothic, or even Assassin’s Creed III, these stories are where it all began.

Nazi Moonbase (Dark Osprey)

UFOs, super-science, and the truth behind the Apollo moon landings. Or not. Like the other Dark Osprey books, this could be used to inspire a Weird War II – into – Cold War game setting, or you could just have fun seeing what all the wacky conspiracy theories look like when they’re stitched together.

Still in Print

Blood and Honor, my 2006 Dungeons & Dragons novel, is available as an audiobook from Amazon and the iTunes store. The print edition of this fantasy-noir adventure earned 4 stars on Amazon.

GURPS Faerie, GURPS Middle Ages 1, and GURPS Vikings are all downloadable from Steve Jackson Games’ e23 online store.

Colonial Gothic, the tabletop RPG of mystery, horror, and conspiracy at the dawn of American history, is available from Rogue Games’ online store and your favorite game retailers and e-tailers. Imagine the flashbacks from Sleepy Hollow or National Treasure if they had been co-written by H. P. Lovecraft and Dan Brown. If your FLGS doesn’t stock Colonial Gothic products, whine until they do!
