Trying to clean up this blog. Sorry for the simple ‘theme’ but I’m in the process of revamping the site for the upcoming Bent Steeple  release this Halloween. (more about the release below…)

In the meantime I’m releasing a new novel The Variant Effect: Skin Eaters in FREE installments. You can get the first three at skineaters.com. You can also read the first installment online (again for FREE) where it’s in great company in the Astounding Adventures Magazine Issue 7. You can order the actual magazine at Amazon. Special thanks to editor Katherine Tomlinson for getting me involved with Issue 7.

We’re also getting primed for the Bent Steeple launch on Halloween. Take the link to visit and check out the cover and sample chapters. While you’re there enter the Bent Steeple eBook Reader contest. If you haven’t guessed, the winner gets a free Sony eBook Reader. Oh, it’s free to enter and there are second and third prizes.

We’re doing a general revamp on the whole site in preparation for Bent Steeple’s release. One of those things will be a BLOG revamp. I need something sleek and stylish. Actually might use Twitter and Facebook instead.

All right. I’ll admit it. I’m just not taking to this blogging thing. I apologize for the lax standards in blogging that I’m exhibiting over here; but I’m just too busy writing books.

Isn’t that really what you want to hear? That I’m currently up to ‘here’ in the polishing draft of Bent Steeple. It’s a huge book, biggest yet and a departure from my World of Change stories. Or that Bent Steeple is sure to appeal to a wider audience who have a taste for horror and blood.

You don’t really want to know that I had my usual cheese on toast with coffee at seven o’clock this morning, after my daily early editing session. You couldn’t possibly care.

I’m assuming that you’d rather skip over that and instead have me make occasional announcements like:

Bent Steeple will be available in July of 2009.

or that:

The Apocalypse Trilogy Book One: When Graveyards Yawn is still available here as a free eBook download.

And you can check out Book Two: The Forsaken at this link. Both are available as paperback and eBook. Get a sample of The Forsaken here.

and finally that:

Book Three in the trilogy: The Fifth Horseman will be galloping close on its heels with a Christmas 2009 release. Get a sample here.

I hate to sound repetitive, but I also hate to sound boring. I barely care that I had cheese on toast this morning, or that the hot water tap in my vertically challenged new bathroom has a habit of drooling.

Who wants to know that? I forget about it the moment I walk out the door. That’s probably why it’s been leaking for a month.

Happy New Year Everyone! Thanks again for all your support in 2008.

Bent Steeple will be available in July of 2009.

While anyone who has eaten with me knows I regularly dine like a dying college student, I was lucky enough to be invited by writer and editor Katherine Thomlinson to take part in a short interview at gourmetfoodgarden.com.

You can read the interview here.

A special thanks to the fantastic genre web sites horror, fantasy, mystery and food that are sending interested traffic my way.
