And you thought "over-the-transom submission" was just an expression.

My writing career began when I won a high school contest sponsored by the Fairfax Journal newspaper, near my home town of Burke, Virginia. Since then, I've appeared in two dozen publications such as the anthologies Tourniquet Heart and Tales From the Gorezone, and Cemetery Dance Magazine. I also coordinated the republication of Lovecraft at Last by H.P. Lovecraft and Willis Conover. The Organ Donor, my first novel, earned some favorable reviews. My column "Author's Notes" appears quarterly at Horror World. My collection, Death Sentences: Tales of Punishment and Revenge, was published by Undaunted Press in 2005 and again earned some acclaim. Raw Dog Screaming Press published my second novel, Eyes Everywhere, and it was also well received. In 2008, Raw Dog Screaming Press's non-fiction imprint, Guide Dog Books, published Horror Isn't a 4-Letter Word: Essays on Writing & Appreciating the Genre, which reprinted all of my "Author's Notes" columns to date, among other things.

I graduated with a journalism degree from James Madison University in 1995, and I now live in Staunton, Virginia. In 2007, I left my job as a litigation paralegal to become a partner in my wife Deena Warner's print and website design business, Deena Warner Design LLC. I frequently give presentations on horror literature and the writing business to libraries and schools.
