The supernatural. I couldn’t think of a more loaded word. It conjures up all sorts of different notions from ghosts and monsters to the stuff of sketchy-scary horror movies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that, I thought I would clarify what I mean when I use the term regarding my work. It may even be easier to tell you what it isn’t. For example, I would not consider my writing to be in the genre of Horror. Some scenes in my writing are intense, even scary, but it isn’t Horror in the traditional sense. At least I don’t consider it to be. From what I can tell, the genre lines are blurry. Maybe you’ll disagree. While ‘what goes bump in the night’ and ‘shockingly sketched out TV scenes’ make for engaging story telling, it just isn’t my style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that, My writing for the Geist series of books is more concerned with the afterlife and all the interesting aspects that revolve around that. I also find the topic of gifted individuals and spirituality very compelling. Not magically so, but more intuitively speaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These elements fuel the supernatural undercurrents in my newly released novel Three Worlds Collide: Rise of the Demon Scorpion<\/em>. The story does revolve around crime. Lives will be lost. But the supernatural aspects play an important role. Three Worlds Collide: Rise of the Demon Scorpion<\/em> is the first novel in the Geist series. The stories woven into this book bring these concepts to life in the theater of the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also don’t expect to find your traditional monsters like vampires or Frankenstein or anything of that sort. Not that I haven’t enjoyed them myself, it just isn’t the topic of my writing. I do, however, have an interest in mythology, local legends, and tall tales in general; all of which I think might be a bit of a parallel to the traditional monster tropes. I find the stories circulating through cultural traditions and various locales very compelling and enjoy the thought of respectfully integrating threads of those traditions into narrative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that vein, Low Men<\/em> is a gritty modern take on the hard boiled detective caught up in a the complexities of a sensational crime and how local Florida folklore ties in. This book is a genre mashup blending elements of a suspenseful murder mystery with a romantic thriller thread both entwined with psychological suspense all set in a conflict between the dark side of organized crime and the lurid aspects of big tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of ‘not wanting to ruin it for you’ I don’t want to say anymore than that about the supernatural. But I will be sure to clearly indicate the topic matter of books (or short stories), something along the lines of: ‘suspense-crime fiction with supernatural undercurrents’ or simply ‘crime thriller’ or ‘suspense’ if it doesn’t have the aforementioned elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
