I've always been an avid reader. When I was a kid, it was Tolkien, King, and Bradbury. In school they made me read Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Orwell. My range expanded. Now I enjoy a variety of books from sci-fi and horror to historical fiction and literature. I like to read a variety of genres and styles, though I generally prefer stories with action to stories where people discuss their feelings. My books Strange Hunting and Strange Hunting II are both action/horror featuring monsters from folk tales and legends around the world. The Brave and the Dead is Fantasy, in a Norse setting with kings and wars and some supernatural creatures to boot. My latest two books are non-fiction: The Ultimate Guide to Zombies is just what it says. Apocalypse Survival Guide is a humorous guide to preparing for the next apocalypse whether it involves a tornado, super volcano, zombie outbreak, or an attack by super-intelligent sharks.
