 Hi! Wow, it's been awhile. A lot has happened since the third Chronicle of the Dark Star book came out in 2019, as well as the two original books I wrote for the Lost In Space Netflix series last year. BUT I HAVE BEEN WRITING!

The second place title is THE DRIFT. I think we are going to go with Drifters.  2. Is there a cover yet? I have seen the designs for the cover, and it RULES! But I can't share them yet. 3. Is this the fourth book in the Chronicle of the Dark Star?

Hey check it out: coming November 19th, my first original novel based on the Netflix series Lost in Space ! I've written two novels featuring original adventures for Will Robinson and his Robot and family (the second comes out in 2020).

Way back in 2008, I wrote a song about my first book, Oliver Nocturne: The Vampire's Photograph. It used to be on my old website but when I changed sites I lost the file. Over the years, fans have asked me whatever happened to that song, and just recently someone found it on Youtube. Here it is! Crazy to hear this a decade later. Also can you tell I was listening to A LOT of Elliott Smith at the time?
