Let’s get to meet Devin and get to know him a little bit more!
Tell me something about you.
I’m from Upstate NY. I currently work in the film industry.
Why write horror?
I grew up reading Goosebumps and couldn’t wait to write my own. I saw scary movies and had my own ideas of how they could have been better, so I wrote them down.
What’s the scariest book you’ve ever read?
The Tower of Terror, R.L.Stine. It was one of the first horror books I’ve read, and there’s never a better time than childhood to read a scary book and have it put scary images into your head.
What are you working on now?
I am working on the second book in the Nightmare Island series, titled Jones. I would describe it as Halloween meets Fear Street.
Where can we find you?

A special MASTERS OF HORROR thanks goes to Devin for taking the time to answer my questions and allowing us to peek behind the curtain at this incredible talent. And if you haven’t already read WELCOME TO NIGHTMARE ISLAND here’s a quick sample of what the reviewers are saying…
“…It's a clever, clever idea. In the beginning I felt like I was sitting around the campfire listening to a creepy ghost story. Then the action ramps up and there is no escape. Some of the scariest ghosts I have encountered in literature or screen. Unique entities, a ghastly island history, creepy places and encounters in the dark, a twist or two I didn't see coming and an eerie ending. Oh, and spiders! Scary fun indeed…” - Amazon Reviewer
“My first book from this author. Well written, ghosts and ghouls all wrapped up on a remote deserted island. Kept me well interested right to the end. Highly recommended.” - Amazon Reviewer
“I've been looking forward to reading this and it did not disappoint. For me it was more a cross between 13 ghosts and house on haunted hill. I was able to picture in my mind everything really easily and got lost in the island. Only issue is I've finished it and I'd like more please.” - Amazon Reviewer
