Macabre has been defined as ghoulish, ghastly, chilling, gruesome, morbid, deathly, and more.  I like to think my stories touch on a little of each of these aspects.  I have always enjoyed scary stories even if I had to make them up myself.  As a young adult, I discovered the world of Stephen King and was completely enthralled.  I've been writing traditional mystery for some time but quite often my stories have gotten darker and touched on more ethereal characters.

My short story CLUE  won an Honorable Mention from the Sleuthfest 2012 short story contest.  It is the tale of a group of feral children at Florida's DisneyWorld and their own grisly version of the game.
