One of my favorite publishers to work with to-date has been JayHenge Publishing. They have produced awesome short story collections on many topics, and I'm delighted to have fostered a close relationship with Jessica and her editorial team.
Wicked Shadow Press is another great publisher who has produced some incredible artwork to accompany my stories. I am often blown away by their designer.
Bambi, A Life in the Woods has had a massive impact on me as a writer. Such a darker and more philosophical book than the movie would lead you to believe. I've reread it several times over the years and never grow tired of it.
