  AUTHOR’S NOTE

  Thanks for reading Empty Bodies 4: Open Roads.

  I wanted to just take a moment and thank you for reading this series. It has been so much fun for me to write, and I feel very attached to all these characters. The whole thing has been a great experience for me, and I’ve learned so much about writing and storytelling.

  The journey isn’t over quite yet, as I’ve still got two more books to share with you. I’ve been working on Empty Bodies 5: Damnation, and can tell you with a lot of confidence that is probably going to end up being my favorite book in the entire series. The storyline that the epilogue you just read leads into has been brutally entertaining for me to write, and I know you’ll love reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

  Again, thank you so much. Writing books is a lot of hard work, and happens over many hours spent alone, so it is very fulfilling to know that people are enjoying the story.

  Now, strap in, and get ready for the penultimate title!

  For independent authors like myself, reviews are very important. You won’t see my books at the grocery store or on some famous television personality’s book list. Reviews help new readers discover our work so that they can enjoy our stories and we can write more books.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Something about the dark side of life has always appealed to me. Whether I experience it through reading and watching horror or listening to my favorite heavy metal bands, I have been forever fascinated with the shadow of human emotion.

  While in my 20's, I discovered my passion to create through playing drums in two heavy metal bands: Kerygma and Twelve Winters. While playing in Twelve Winters (a power metal band with a thrash edge fronted by my now wife Kathryn), I was able to indulge myself in my love of writing by penning the lyrics for all our music. My love of telling a story started here, as many of the songs became connected to the same concept and characters in one way or another.

  Now in my 30's, my creative passion is being passed to willing readers through the art of stories. While I have a particular fascination for real life scenarios, I also love dark fantasy. So, you'll find a little bit of everything in my stories, from zombies to serial killers, angels and demons to mindless psychopaths, and even ghosts and parallel dimensions.

  My influences as a writer come primarily from the works of Clive Barker, Stephen King, and Blake Crouch in the written form; the beautifully dark, rich lyrics of Mikael Akerfeldt from the band Opeth; and an array of movies, going back to the root of my fascination at a young age with 70's and 80's slasher films such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

  I live in Nashville, Tennessee with my wife Kathryn, our daughter Haley, and our German Shepherd Guinness. When I'm not writing, I enjoy playing hockey, watching hockey and football, cycling, watching some of my favorite television shows and movies, and, of course, reading.
