Do I Give Myself the Creeps?

The answer is yes. Sometimes, I do give myself the creeps. Sometimes that even leads to nightmares.

I do like visiting that etheral dream world, such a fertile playground. Some of my favorite stories have come from my bad dreams.

But, I'm not a bad guy. In fact, I used to be a good little Catholic boy. Not sure where I detoured, probably somewhere around Tommy went to work on Jason with a machete (the first time).

Well, I'm thinking to change it up a bit.



My latest story, Viking Werewolves from Mars, is nice horror treat for Halloween. However, it is a PG-13 treat. My past stories have been Rated-R, or even pushing that. This time, I've dialed it back.

As I continue to re-invent myself, you may see a new side of me. I mentioned my upcoming series, Shadowstones. It is going to have vampires, werewolves and a few other nasties. It is going to have something else, faith. The hero of that story is a "man of the cloth" with some unique solutions for an infested world.

I'm not having a full-blown conversion. I do think it's time for my inner child to stop pulling the wings off butterflys for a while. I am going to let that good little Catholic boy out to play. Take a look at my life and see if I can't entice you with a different side of Sam.

More S3X is better than no S3X

About a year ago, I put out a little story called A Vampire's Guide to Sex. It was my little poke at genre writing. I had my fill of those books/movies whose title references the setting sun. When I learned that the pop phenomena had glittering vampires, I could feel the heat of Bram Stoker spinning in his grave half way around the world.


I had one question, that I'm sure many others had...How does a vampire, with no blood flowing through his veins, function in the baby-making department?

Vampires are sexy. They can be arousing and tempting. Who has not thought, at least once, that it might be fun to be one?

That is the basis of my Vampire's Guide. It is not so much an actual instruction book, but gives us a glimpse at the difficulties of adjusting to an alternative lifestyle.


I thought that it was a single story in me that needed to escape. Here I am, almost a year later holding a new story engorged with fangs and titilation. A Vampire's Guide to Sex: The Next Lesson introduces some new characters (if you read the first story, you'd know why). This story addresses the problems faced by teenage girls that have been misled by current trends in vamp fiction. What happens when a confused 18 year-old grows up in search of her one true love, a vampire?

She will learn that it's not all glitz and giggles.

The Next Lesson will be available quite soon.

Why not start at the beginning for a mere $0.99 by clicking here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V0JCV2

Or, one better, for anybody that "likes" my new author page (http://www.facebook.com/samcanwrite) between now and release date of The Next Lesson, I will send the first story to you with my compliments.
