Breaking News: Chris' supernatural thriller  The Devil's Choir has made the final cut and is a finalist in the Athanatos Christian Ministries novel contest. Each of the finalists now have a couple of months to review their work en light of judges' recommendations and then resubmit for the final round of judging which will take place in late winter or early spring 2012. Past winners have received publishing deals for their books.

Due to legal/financial issues on the part of the publisher, Aspen Mountain Press, all of Chris' titles with Aspen Mountain have been taken down from retail sites such as Amazon.com and others. Aspen Mountain's own website is down. We have left Chris' book covers up as a reminder of what once was. Chris is working to find a new publisher and has hopes of a future anthology containing a number of his short stories and novellas.

Chris was the featured author for the June issue of Prinkipria Tales of the Fantastic and his short story Interview with the Bigfoot was masterfully turned into an audio book in the same issue.

In my opinion, the horror genre is perfectly suited for short stories. Dark Distortions, a 500-plus page anthology of short horror by Scotopia Press, is getting terrific reviews and is well worth the money. It's huge! In the press release, Scotopia's Editor in Chief Molly Feese calls Chris' contribution, Fear & The Storm, "A must read for anyone who occasionally craves a happy ending."
