Over the last two years I've been focusing most of my time and attention on my Cast Down series or horror novels, and I enjoy using my lifetime of paranormal research to entertain readers (and hopefully give them a second thought about what might be "haunting" them). However, my first foray into writing was through … Continue reading By Raphael Bound
The third book in the Cast Down series should be finished in about two weeks. Want a little taste? For over a month Gabby woke to the smell of her father’s aftershave lingering in her room, as if he’d spent the night sitting in a chair at her bedside, keeping a silent vigil over her. … Continue reading Cast Down; Masked (teaser)

The pair had been silent since … Continue reading Novel Teaser – Fallen Angel
This is from one of my latest projects - a non fiction novel called Deconstructing Tracy. They say it's not the age but the mileage that counts. I can't believe I've been on this road for so long. If I were a car I'd be an antique by now and I don't know when that … Continue reading Grace Changes Everything
When I was a kid I heard the legend of Dudleytown, which was a ghost town in my home state of Connecticut. Anyone who has seen the movies "The Conjuring" or "Annabelle" will know who Ed and Lorraine Warren are. Or "were" in the case of Ed, who has been deceased for quite some time … Continue reading Cast Down
My Newest Home on the Web I don't know what the new home is going to look like when I finish adding rooms to it and decorating, but the construction as begun!
