Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
So, yeah, that little book I wrote with super-talented Carrie Jones got a very nice review today from one of the most prestigious reviewers so far. Yup, nobody babbling about how Carrie is in love with me, or whatever. haha Check this out: “Told in the alternating voices of Aimee (penned by Jones) and Alan…
The Kindle edition of Murdered by Human Wolves is gone, and I’m told print publication of all The Werewolf Saga titles, as well as Seven Days in Benevolence, will end in about a week. After that, The Werewolf Saga will be pretty much unavailable, other than existing stock. Hopefully that’s a situation that won’t last…
It was with much reluctance and sorrow that I sent a letter to the owner of Scrybe Press last week withdrawing all my titles from that company. I think the publisher is a nice guy. I don’t think there was any malicious intent on either side in the events that led up to the termination…
Okay, so last week I talked about how I should do a giveaway. Responses were positive, so here it is. How shall we do it? We’ll take the KISS approach (keep it simple, sweetie). Respond here with a comment telling me which of my books you’d like to receive as a gift, and you could…
So, all of November slipped by without a single blog update from me. Well, other than my Goodreads reviews. There hasn’t been much news on the writing front, so I just didn’t bother to post. There still isn’t much, but I felt like it was time for an update. After Obsession has been out for…
So. This Wednesday the faculty at the high school where I teach have been summoned to a meeting where our long-winded superintendent and our technology dictator will “explain” to us the importance of putting our lesson plans into the program assigned for that purpose. In other words, we’re in for a butt-chewing. Ordinarily, I’d say…
Well, I knew it was inevitable, and it happened less than a week following After Obsession’s publication. Someone accused me of selling out. Selling out. Let’s think about what that means. I typically think of selling out as giving up your moral principles and simply doing something for monetary gain, or some other personal gain.…
As an author working in the small presses, I always had to do my own marketing, my own promotion, making contacts, sending books for review, setting up signings and providing books, then letting the bookstore take a cut of the sales. As a result, it was important to monitor the reviews of my books. Also,…
After Obsession is now available in the United Kingdom. Yay! And we’re just eight days away from the American release. Yay! (You can still pre-order the American hardcover.) The blog I Just Wanna Sit Here and Read posted an interview with me and Carrie. This was previously only available in the advance reading copies. As…
My critique partner and long-time friend Gayleen Rabakukk has posted an interview with me and Carrie Jones over on her blog. Being an excellent journalist, Gayleen has done another good job. If you spread the word about her blog, where she’s always reviewing young adult literature, you can win the ARC of After Obsession I…
