Werewolves are my greatest passion. I cannot put into words how fully the werewolf curse captivates my mind and imagination, as it has for so much of mankind for countless ages. There are endless elements to explore and stories to tell with werewolves and so many annals of folklore, myth, and history to discuss relating to the idea. That is why I have all but dedicated my life to the concept of the werewolf.
Here you will find my many works related to werewolves - you will find my own fiction about werewolves, my extensive and lifelong academic research into werewolf studies (real-world werewolf folklore) and efforts to preserve primary sources, discussion of werewolves in folklore and popular culture, and so much more, including my popular Werewolf Facts series, my book The Werewolf: Past and Future, and my series Wulfgard: The Prophecy of the Six.
Please take time to explore every section. There's so much to discover, whether you're interested in werewolf fiction, folklore, or even plush or LEGO!
I, of course, recommend you begin with my books... but you'll find far more on this page and across my website.

Rage.
Few can match the fury of Sir Tom Drake in battle – not even a Demon of Wrath. When Tom killed just such a fiend in single combat, a feat of which most mortals would never dream, he became the Demon Slayer. To the people of his beloved city of Illikon, Tom is a hero. But his city swears fealty to the Achaean Empire, and to them, he is just another knight.
Enter Sir Scaevius, Left Hand of the Emperor. With war raging against a barbarian alliance massing to the North, Scaevius takes command of Illikon’s armies and orders Tom on a suicide mission. Tom obeys, but not without protest. Soon, he finds himself fighting not only the barbarians, but his own superiors as well – and something else, something supernatural.
A monster is stalking him: a half man, half beast abomination from legend… a werewolf. It haunts his dreams and even his waking hours, and he starts to suffer blackouts, unsure what is real and what is nightmare. Hated by his superiors, hunted by beasts and assassins, Tom Drake must fight for his home, his life, and even his mind. The events that are about to unfold will change his life, and the world, forever.
A thrilling tale of adventure, dashing heroics, chilling horror, alluring mystery, and both personal duels and epic battles centered around memorable characters, Knightfall takes you to the edge of your seat in a wild ride set in a traditional dark age heroic fantasy world, where all myths are true – and monsters from legend seek to devour Men. Meet the sharply characterized cast, discover a new realm at once dark yet not without light and hope, and return to fantasy’s roots in the series The Prophecy of the Six and the world of Wulfgard.

Since before recorded history, werewolves have captivated human imagination. Today, werewolves are portrayed negatively. However, this was not the case long ago: the time has come to rediscover the legend of the werewolf. This book is my graduate-level thesis published into book format, a work of passion and lifelong dedication to werewolf studies. Be warned I can be strong in my convictions and opinions, both at the time of this book’s conception and now, regardless of how those opinions may evolve and change with time.

Originally written in 1865, Sabine Baring-Gould’s The Book of Were-Wolves is still considered among the best of sources in the field of werewolf studies, as well as folklore studies and the occult. A passionate dive into the folkloric and real history of werewolves, witches and sorcerers, and even madmen and serial killers, Baring-Gould takes a scientific approach to “proving” the reality behind werewolf legends. In doing so, he discusses werewolf legends across history, with particular focus on Scandinavia and the Renaissance / Early Modern eras, and even discusses other shapeshifter folklore from around the world, as well as providing trial accounts of famous killers such as Gilles de Rais. This book is a must-have for scholars in multiple fields and anyone interested in the history of the werewolf legend. The editor’s contribution of annotations and translations provide further context to Baring-Gould’s work, but his words in themselves are unabridged and uncensored from his original text.

The air hangs thick with fog. A distant howl, wolfish yet wrong, drifts over the graveyards and haunted forests that are cast deep blue in the full moon's baleful glow. You know that cry is the voice of a cursed monster that is also, conversely, an innocent soul: haunted, powerless, enduring the untold agony of the transformation - and now, above all else, indescribably dangerous. It is a man cursed, lost in rage with which no one could contend, and always starving for flesh...
It is a werewolf.
The werewolf curse is one of the deepest tales of tragedy. The werewolf is a being of duality, of halves, never to be truly whole. Neither man nor beast, they must wander, alone, lost, at odds with themselves, in sorrow, fury, and eternal hunger. How does one reconcile committing atrocities in a beast's skin? How can any good person continue as such a monster?
It gives me chills just to think about. I've never seen a concept more haunting, fascinating, and horrifying than that of the werewolf, and I know I never will. You cannot best the oldest of legends and such a core terror that haunts all humanity: the idea that even the most civilized a man could become the most terrible of beasts.
This is why werewolves have haunted the human psyche since the dawn of time - and they always will.
Obviously, there are many takes on werewolves, especially these days, and not all folklore told such tales, but I'm speaking in terms of why werewolves captivate me personally. To me, it all comes back to The Wolf Man (1941), as inspired by legends and turned into a tale of tragedy that touches the hearts of all who hear it. You cannot help but relate to such a character and feel sorry for him, but you must wonder... what would you do in such a situation? What would you do, as a werewolf - or as a werewolf's loved one? What would you do, if someone you cared about turned into a monster? And what would you do when that monster came to your door - either asking for help... or to take your life, against the will of the man who bears the curse?
That is untold narrative power.
And that is why I love werewolves.
If you've read this far, I humbly ask you to take a look at my fiction in particular, namely my series Wulfgard: The Prophecy of the Six, starting with its first installment, Knightfall. It's a bit like Lord of the Rings meets The Wolf Man. If you love traditional fantasy, adventure, horror, werewolves, knights, mystery, strong characters, even pitched battles, and so much more, this book has it all. I promise you won't be disappointed. Of everything I ever do and create, The Prophecy of the Six means the most to me, and I would be honored if you read it.
