Beyond the Door of Darkness - The Origin
It was late March... 2020
I had just been laid off from my job for 'X' amount of time and the world had come to a complete stand still. I knew, this was the time that I had to finally sit down and write the story I had been crafting for so long.
The story is about private detective, Larry Petals, an ex-NYPD officer who left the force after being a first responder on September 11th, 2001. Now, a down and out Private I, Larry's luck seems to change when he gets a phone call from Manhattan that will bring him to the quiet beaches of Fire Island. This is where Larry will need to grapple with his own demons he left behind if he ever hopes to get off the beach alive. After edit upon edit, it wouldn't be until late December 2020 that I would learn "Beyond The Door of Darkness" was selected to appear in Running Wild Press' annual Novella anthology. But it wasn't done there... |
The sucker in the room is the one without a gun. |

Running Wild Press offered me my first ever chance at publication with their inclusion of my story in their annual anthology series. Working with my editor, Peter A. Wright, was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life. This has been sent to the press and will be released in September 2022.
In September 2020, I was asked to pitch a 3 story idea to my original novella "Beyond The Door of Darkness" Where I take my main character, private detective Larry Petals, along on more adventures. It would not be until April, 2021 I was offered a 3-story deal from DLG to bring "Larry Petals: Tales From New York" to life! |
