Where were you born?  Where did you grow up?
I was born in Atlanta, Georgia. I have lived in Georgia all my life. I currently live about 50 some odd miles east of Atlanta in the tiny town of Bethlehem.
Schooling?  Art training?
Nothing of note. I took a home study writing course once that really didn’t amount to much. I took a non-credit writing class at the University of Georgia once where I learned a great deal. I wrote my first published novel, Evil Ways while taking that class.
How long have you been working professionally in comics?
My first published work happened in 1992. It was hit or miss for a while there. In 2000, I started scripting Demonslayer in 2000, which led to other work. My first novel, Evil Ways was released in 2005. It’s been pretty busy since then writing comics, novels, short stories, and screenplays.
What things — both in art and otherwise — have you worked on, besides comics?  Are comics a full-time gig for you or part-time?
I do a little bit of everything, I think. I write comics, novels, short stories, and have also dabbled in screenplays. I also do a little bit of art, but usually sketches and the odd pin up. Right now, writing is a full-time gig.
Talk about how you broke into the business –was it easy? Hard? Ups? Downs? Any interesting anecdotes? When you held your first published work in your hands, how did you feel?
Breaking into comics is a weird thing. No two creators seem to do it the same way. I sat down one night in 1999 and emailed every comic publisher with a website (these were the days of dial up) and introduced myself and asked if I could show them my work. I figured, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? Only one publisher responded and that was to say thanks, but they were shuddering their operations but would keep my name on file just in case things changed. A year later, things changed. The publisher’s book had moved to a new publisher. After a time, the scripter was moving on and I was contacted to see if I was interested in working on the book, called Demonslayer. I did and worked on it for a few years. So, I guess I’m one of the few who got in by submitting.
Did you work as an assistant to any other writers? If so, please talk a bit about those experiences.
No. I’ve met some wonderfully creative writers since I started writing professionally. I have learned a lot from them.


How did your parents take to the idea of working in comics?
My parents never really understood my love of comics, but after a time they saw how serious I was about pursuing writing and they were supportive. Once I became a published author, they were some of my biggest cheerleaders.


How would you describe your workspace?
Is it part of your home, or do you go “to the studio”?
I would describe my workspace as cramped and cluttered. I have a small space set aside in the house. I used to have a separate room that was my office, but that’s not an option at present.


What job are you the proudest of?  What’s your most embarrassing?
I am most proud of the Edgar Rice Burroughs’ At The Earth’s Core graphic novel I did with Jamie Chase for Dark Horse. Not only is it one of the best selling comics I’ve done, but it was well received by Burroughs fans, pulp fans, and comic fans alike. That is always a great feeling.
Most embarrassing is tough. There are a few projects where I’m embarrassed by the second book not coming out for whatever reason. I Am Googol, Crimson Moon, Fuzzy Bunnies From Hell, and Bloody Olde Englund material that was released all ended on cliffhangers or with the story unfinished. I hated that for the readers who picked up the beginning of the story and didn’t get the end.


What are you currently writing?  Comments on that project?
I’m currently writing the 4th book in the Snow series called Snow Trapped. Once it’s done and off to BEN Books for edits, I’m back at work on the first book in the Hunter Houston: Horror Hunter series for Falstaff Books.


Talk about your Family: Parents, siblings, home situation. Are you Married? Have kids? Anecdotes about married life, how it relates to your busy schedule, etc. If you have kids do they understand your job? What do they say about it? Do they read comics?

I’m not married and have no kids. For the past couple of years, I have been a full-time caretaker for my parents. My mother passed away last year, which really impacted my work habits. My dad has recovered from his ailments so now I am back to writing full-time and playing catch up. I have a brother. He doesn’t really read my work. My parents did when I gave it to them.


What projects do you hope to work on in the future?
I hope to continue to work on great characters. A dream gig would be to write the Fantastic Four at least once.


Where do you see yourself in five years?  ten?

I would like to see myself making a decent living as a writer. I’m not quite there, but I’m working on it. I also wouldn’t mind seeing the words New York Times Bestselling Author in front of my name. I think that would be cool.


What is the interest in comics where you live? Do friends and neighbors know you write comic books for a living?  How do they react?
Georgia has a lot of comic shops and readers so that’s good. A lot of people know I write, or have something to do with books, but most don’t really understand it. A lot of people think what I do is pretty cool. The biggest misconception is that most people assume that, because I’m a writer, I’m rich, which I most assuredly am not. I blame TV and movies for this because most of the authors in movies and TV are portrayed as very wealthy.


What’s 1 thing you’ll always find in your refrigerator?

Mt. Dew


What’s your favorite food?

Pasta
What are your favorite interests –Movies?  Music?  TV?  Any hobbies?  Sports?

I like watching TV and movies. Binge-watching programs is a lot of fun. I also like to read novels and comics.


Ever been in a gang?

Does The Boy Scouts count?


What’s an average day in your life like?  Walk us through a typical day.
Wake up. Check messages and social media. Eat. Shower. Marketing and promotion work, interviews, other assorted writer-related stuff. Eat. Write. Watch TV. Write. Watch TV. Go to bed. Rinse and repeat. Exciting, I know.


Any humorous or interesting anecdotes to tell about the comics business?

I find it hilarious that people who used to make fun of me for reading comics are now coming to me with questions about Thor or Captain America.


Do you have any great, unsold projects in your files that nobody’s gotten to see published?

I have a few. Not sure if any of them are as great as I thought they were at the time I originally wrote them. One of my personal favorite comic scripts written by me has never seen the light of day.
