I’m incredibly proud and excited that my debut novel, TICK TOWN, has been nominated for a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award. TICK TOWN, which is my love letter to the big bug sci-fi horror movies of the 1950’s and the pulp horror paperbacks of the 1970’s, has been nominated in the category “Best Classic Monster Fiction”.

Now I need your help! PLEASE VOTE FOR TICK TOWN!

Voting for the Rondos is done by email, so to cast your vote for TICK TOWN, here’s what you need to do:

1. Email your vote to taraco@aol.com.
