Featured Artist on Midnight Syndicate!

Thursday, January 10th, 2013

I’m thrilled to announce that I am the current Featured Artist on the websites of Midnight Syndicate and Legions of the Night.   Check out the pages here:   www.MidnightSyndicate.comwww.LegionsoftheNight.com, and www.Facebook.com/MidnightSyndicate

If you aren’t familiar with Midnight Syndicate, you ought to be.  They create amazingly creepy and atmospheric music, and it’s no lie to say that I do some of my best writing with Midnight Syndicate to set the mood.

And I dare ya — yup, actually DARE — to read Windwalkers while listening to, say, Gates of Delirium or The 13th Hour.  If that doesn’t inspire a nightmare or two, you’re made of some pretty tough stuff.
