Hello All! Independent Horror Author saying Hi!

I've been writing for a long time and even took some fancy college courses when I was younger. I've decided to bring my work to the public recently. My work is highly original. Meaning, I usually create my own creatures in my stories except for a reboot on the werewolf genre. My main focus is horror but sometimes I mash horror with sci-fi. The two genres mesh very nicely.

I thought I'd drop by to see what kind of horror people have been watching and reading lately. I draw heavy influence from Lovecraft, King, and Clive Barker. However, I'm truly trying to put a stamp on the genre by creating a unique style.

I don't write murder books. All the stories that I craft have a message and are not gusher gore stories for no apparent reason. I hope you check out my work over the course of many years as my goal is a modest one. Before I check out of this world I want to at least churn out twenty or so books. If things go well and I can quit my day job then maybe write more but twenty seems like a good goal at the moment.

Other than writing I do other boring stuff that everybody else does. Hope you check out my writing and I hope to enjoy my stay on these forums.:)

I like music!

I'm never cool enough for anyone that I don't like. I like these two songs.

1.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drTQaAaCeh0

2.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u6CLTtSv98

Which one is better? Trick question.

Seriously, this is one of my favorite music video to song things I've ever seen.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnSp9rgfel8

Hello again and introducing you to my blog!

Fairly new member;) Not that new but not a vet. As I've stated very colorful in my posts, I'm a horror writer. I've written three books this year. Two books published this year, and churned a 25,500= word novella into editing this year. That will be out next year, probably in march if the editing and revision goes smooth. Could float later, really is up to how much time I want to spend on a .99 cent ebook. Shit, I'll make it the most polished .99 cent ebook an independent will produce.

Anyway, on top of all that I've started a blog to talk about my writing and quips on whatever I want to write about. You can view that here _> http://jamiehorwath.blogspot.com/
I'm not the best blogger but, oh well. Now to sum up my mind in this dam breaking writing is this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGXdXcpNsv4
Sorry, the song brings back memories and angst.+ 25,500 words in five days is a ton.
