Published by Sterling Publishing in 1993, Five-Minute Frights,was conceived as a vehicle to encourage reading in Mid-Graders (ages 9-13) by giving them spooky stories they can devour within five minutes. This book was so successful that I was asked to writer another. It was a lot of fun and challenging to write for younger readers, in that I had to rein in my vocabulary, while—at the same time—trying not to write down to my readership, either. All things considered, it was very rewarding.

Published by Sterling in 1994, Five-Minute Chillers is the sequel to Five-Minute Frights. This one contains one of my favorite stories, "The Othermother," based upon true events from my childhood.

Published by Cemetery Dance Publications in 1998, and recently reissued as both an ebook and a paperback. This was my first novel, but not the first one written. It is both a love story and a tale of suspense. It is also one fan's tribute to James Cameron's monumental film, Titanic.

This book is also the first book I designed, both inside and out. This is the new cover for the revised and updated version released in 2012. I co-designed this with Extended Imagery.

Camp Stalag is a story I like to describe as Survivor meets The Great Escape, a story where a bunch of "Baby Boomers" find out firsthand that there was far more to their fathers' war stories than they ever knew....

I also designed this book inside and out, as well as the full-color FRONTISPIECE for the ultra-limited lettered edition.

A Note from an Old Acquaintance is a departure from my other, more suspenseful work. This is a love story about a man whose life has reached a crossroads. Contacted by a long-lost love, he returns to the city of his youth to rekindle that love and, ultimately...find redemption. SYNOPSIS

A Slice of Death is my collection of short stories, written over the course of the last twenty-five years.

Co-written with Brian Anthony, the genesis of this project began with a short student film in 1976. All these years later it's now a full-blown novel and Honest Abe is doing his best to survive unique circumstances that have him joining forces with John Dillinger in the 1930s. Here's the Book Trailer.

COMING SOON!

What would have happened had John Dillinger surrendered that hot July night in 1934 in front of the Biograph Theatre? In Bill Walker's and Brian Anthony's new alternative history, Dillinger pays his debt to society and winds up in Hollywood where at the urging of Jack Warner himself he replaces newcomer, Humphrey Bogart in The Petrified Forest, becoming Hollywood's newest sensation. Women want him. Men want to be him. He's finally reached the pinnacle of success and has everything he's ever wanted—but there are those who believe Johnnie's up to no good. J. Edgar Hoover is still livid that his orders to kill Dillinger were disobeyed, and he will stop at nothing to put the former outlaw in his grave.  Will Dillinger’s star continue to rise, or will Hoover and his minions finally get their man?
