Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’m not sure what I can say about this book that hasn’t been said already. This book has everything fantasy readers want — epic proportions, sword fights, wars, political intrigue, dragons, family drama and, oh yeah, freakin’ zombies, or something close…
The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck My rating: 4 of 5 stars Not Steinbeck’s best work, but a very enjoyable read with a message that is even more relevant today than when he wrote it. I found the constant barrage of pet names Ethan used for his wife Mary to be silly and…
Ain’t it fantastic? This cover was done by Russell Dickerson. The artistic process amazes me, and he did this on a tight deadline. I couldn’t be more pleased with it. The book is scheduled to be released on Oct. 29, the full moon, by Graveside Tales Publishing.
I’m thrilled to announce that the first three books of The Werewolf Saga will be released in audio format by the end of 2012. Each volume is currently in production right now and will be available for download through Amazon.com, the iTunes Store, and Audible.com. Murdered by Human Wolves will likely be ready for release…

I tore into it and found a bunch of copies of the U.S. trade paperback edition of After Obsession, the young adult paranormal romance written with Carrie Jones. What do you think of the cover? (It looks my scan wasn’t all that straight.) The paperback…
The Thrall’s Tale by Judith Lindbergh My rating: 4 of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I went into it hoping for something like Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon. It was different than that, and yet had some similarities. There’s little fighting. Most of the action is typical of women’s fiction ……
About this time last year Maggie Bonham talked me into editing an anthology of werewolf stories for her Sky Warrior Books. We took submissions over the summer and I spent a lot of time reading and pondering what was sent to us. In the end, I accepted 10 tales, plus wrote one of my own,…
After London: or, Wild England by Richard Jefferies My rating: 2 of 5 stars One of the worst endings ever! The book is divided into two parts, the first and shortest part being a description of how nature has reclaimed England in the wake of some unexplained event that wiped out “modern” man (of the…
“Why do you write about ghosts and demons and werewolves and darkness?” This question comes up a lot. It’s been on my mind more than usual lately because of an incident at the school where a new teacher who was shown my classroom asked my daughter in front of her class if we worship the…
