Happy New Year

There will be some exciting things coming in 2017. I plan on running several giveaways throughout the year. With luck, MAG: Mutant Assassin Group will be published or have a publication date; in either case, I will soon be drafting the sequel which will lay waste to Seoul, South Korea. I also have a twisted idea for a twisted serial killer novel/novella that is partially based on my life; the research on that one will move me to the top of the FBI watch list. And of course, there will be conventions and book signings, plus lots of other good news as it becomes available. 

So until then, have a safe and Happy New Year. I'll talk to you all in 2017. Great things are coming our way next year.

I thought I'd go a little sexy today.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All My Readers

Wishing all my readers around the world a Merry Christmas and joyous holidays.

Apocalypse Monday: Christmas Edition

Now, Delta! Now, Foxtrot! Now, Papa and Victor! On, Tango! On, Lima! On, Charlie and Bravo! To the top of parapets. To the top of the wall. Now open fire! Open fire! Open fire on all!

Apocalypse Monday

It's been a while since I picked on my hometown of Boston, so here we go.

I Will Be Attending Dreadfest on 28 January 2017

On Saturday, 28 January 2017, myself and several other members of the Dark Alley Crew will be attending DreadFest at the W.T. Bland Public Library at 1995 North Donnelly Street in Mount Dora, Florida. DreadFest "celebrates the creeping sense of dread that good horror writing inspires: the fear of the unknown and the likelihood of an unhappy ending. Horror fiction is much more than slash-and-scream; it can be exquisitely suspenseful, other worldly, rich in descriptions, and more."

The event will include writer and screenwriter panel discussions, a nanofiction contest, an evening author reading, and a published writer showcase of horror fiction.

I'll post more details as they become available. In the meantime, you can visit the DreadFest homepage here.

Books make the best Christmas gifts, so buy some for your family and friends, or treat yourself to an early holiday gift because you deserve it. The proceeds go to a good cause.

I've been trying to read Metro 2033 this week, and thought this image was appropriate.

The Gal in the Blue Mask Has Posted My Classic Christmas Zombie Story "Deck the Malls With Bowels of Holly"

The Gal in the Blue Mask is running a 62 Days of Horror Christmas Takeover that is showcasing the finest in holiday horror. I'm honored that she is kicking off her festivities by publishing my classic Christmas zombie story, and one of my favorite works, "Deck the Malls With Bowels of Holly" in which an alcoholic mall Santa battles zombie reindeer (picture Army of Darkness meets A Christmas Story). This is my Christmas gift to all my readers. If you haven't read it before, sit back, kick off your shoes, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and have fun because it's time to play some reindeer games.

Spooky Empire Is This Weekend

Spooky Empire begins tomorrow at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Despite this being the make-up date after getting screwed over by Hurricane Matthew, a lot people rallied around the Spooky crew and we will make this weekend a huge success. There will be plenty of celebrity guests, writers, and events, including the infamous authors' panels. And the Dark Alley Crew will be there all three days keeping things... interesting.

Hope to see you all this weekend.

UPDATED: I'll Be Participating in the Books 4 the Next Generation Christmas Event

From 1 to 24 December the Books for the Next Generation Christmas Event will be held to raise money for the Friends of Edith Borhtwick School in Braintree, Essex. The school specializes in educating children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hypersensitive Disorder (ADHD), Aspergers, Down Syndrome, and other conditions that make learning difficult. The school needs new equipment to continue helping to teach these children, and this event will assist in that effort.

As part of this event, I will donate 50% of my net royalties from every on-line sale of any of my books sold between 1 and 24 December. This include my novels: Yeitso, (Amazon, Kindle, and Nook), Rotter World (Amazon, Kindle, and Nook), Rotter Nation (Amazon and Kindle), Rotter Apocalypse (Amazon and Kindle), The Vampire Hunters (Book One of the Vampire Hunters Trilogy) (Amazon, Kindle, and Nook), Vampyrnomicon (Book Two of the Vampire Hunters Trilogy) (Amazon, Kindle, and Nook), Dominion (Book Three of the Vampire Hunters Trilogy) (Amazon, Kindle, and Nook); my novellas Dead Water (Kindle only) and Nazi Ghouls From Space (Kindle only); and my anthologies Cruise of the Living Dead (Kindle only) and Incident on Ironstone Lane (Kindle only). This is an incredibly worthy event and I hope all of you will participate. Besides, nothing says Ho-Ho-Horrordays like a good scary novel.
 
If you've already purchased my books, then please buy from one of the other writers involved in the event. To see which other writers and genres will be represented, please check here.
