Nightmares are Source-mares

Mar 30

Someone is always asking me where do the ideas for my books come from. I might say something like "from the windmills of my mind" but in reality, they come from a lot of sources.

The last book idea came from a dream I had on 10/21/20. I was walking along a highway when a white man in his late 20's, carrying a backpack, and a knife approached me from behind. We had a cordial conversation and for some reason, I was not afraid. He ordered me to climb on top of a small structure while he boarded a city bus. I don't know why I obeyed him, but I suspect it was out of a subconscious morbid curiosity to see what happened next.

He boarded the bus and I could see through the windows he was hacking and slashing the passengers. A little voice in the back of my mind yelled, "Runnnnnnn!"

As I ran I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck rise letting me know that he was finished with his slaughter and was coming to resume talking to me. I had nothing to say and woke up excited that I now had a new horror to write. At 2 am I jotted down notes so that I wouldn't forget what I saw in the dream.

Jerrimiah Stonecastle

Born and raised in the slums of New York, he was raised by a single mom who earned her Master's in Early Childhood Development while working as a teacher's aide. She sent young Jerrimiah to the prestigious Power Memorial Academy for Boys, the Alma mater of NBA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He worked part-time after school to help his mom pay for his tuition.

He declined a full scholarship from Concordia University and joined the US Army and became a combat medic. He returned to New York upon his discharge where he was hired by the NYC Chief Medical Examiner’s Office as a medical stenographer.

In 1982 he joined the New York City Police Department. In 1983 he was recruited by the Organized Crime Control Bureau (OCCB) as an undercover officer in their narcotics division. He finished out his career as a detective assigned to the Bronx Homicide Task Force.

When he retired in 2002, he relocated to Florida to pursue his passion for writing. After hundreds of rejection letters and reading Amanda Hocking's story, he decided to self-publish his own works. In 2016 he formed Stonecastle Publications LLC and has published 30 books so far. He has an additional 400 fiction and nonfiction novels in draft form in his company's literary vault.

On October 31, 2018, He launched his first horror novel "FRANKENSTINA" and released the sequel "FRANKENSTINA REBORN" on Halloween 2019. There are two more books in the horology.
