The book I’m currently working on is called “The 35th Anniversary of Nightmare at Midnight.”
I have a few short stories published on a magazine called Strangeland. - Fear of Silence -
The world of horror has always fascinated me. What makes horror such an interesting genre, it lets you play with the ideas of the 'What Ifs' in life.
“An intense, fever dream of a book with its own personality - you might think it is an homage to Wes Craven but Mr. Brownlee finds his own footing. Great, well-developed characters especially of the young teens, Milo and Vanessa - they slowly fall in love and have a shared familial history that is troubling when it comes the book's supernatural force of evil, Angalee. Memorable villain who spouts words that sting and poison. Atmospheric, thrilling, surprising with a huge body count that befits Angalee's motives. Well worth checking out if you like supernatural horror.”

“If you love horror, especially Wes Craven-like horror, then you will LOVE Bloodshed! As an avid horror fan, I'm always looking for something beyond the screen, and Bloodshed was exactly what I wanted. The novel is a rollercoaster of terror, suspense, sadness, humanity, and thrills, all executed in a way that is very real and extremely enjoyable. The characters are relatable and well-developed. Brownlee has a magnificent gift for making us not only care about the characters, but also care about their relationships with one another. As certain characters faced their death, I had to take a few moments to mourn their loss. Audrey is an outstanding heroine with brains, heart, and grace; the classic final girls would be proud! The antagonist is mysterious, brutal, and creepy, especially towards the end. I felt so engrossed when reading that it took me only a few hours before I finished. Furthermore, Brownlee's descriptive writing helped me to picture each scene in my head perfectly. It's not hard to imagine this as a film, and a darn good one at that! My favorite types of horror pieces are those that can scare me deeply without an overabundance of violence, are character-driven, have an intriguing plot, a fantastic heroine, and captivate my imagination; Bloodshed was all! I laughed, I literally sat on the edge of my seat, I cried, and my heart raced. I highly recommend Bloodshed for both horror fans and non-horror fans alike. Storytelling at its finest.”
