Seth Tucker's Blog

Big thanks to everyone who came out to Raven’s Lore Books in Calhoun for their first ever Summerween. It was a great time. I was able to meet some new readers, some new writers, and got to catch up with some friends. I also got to sit beside, Rico, one of the bearded dragons that guard the book horde.

If you’re ever in Calhoun, run by Raven’s Lore. It’ a great bookstore with a lot of awesome books, including a few of mine. My next show is going to be the Acworth Book and Storytelling Festival on August 23rd.

Enjoy this picture of Rico, and I’ll see you somewhere out there on the book trail.

You know how much I enjoy reader reviews. This 5-star review just popped up on Goodreads for Reaper of the Harvest. “A gruesome story of small town comeuppance. Violent and gory, this book scratched that horror itch. Played with several tropes in a way that felt new and fun.”

Always like to know readers are happy. If you’d like to give Reaper of the Harvest a whirl for this coming beach read season, you can snag a copy here.

Also, I have 2 exciting events coming up toward the end of this month. You can see me on June 21st (Free RPG Day) alongside with 2 other authors at The Crazy Book Lady in Acworth, GA. I’ll be there from 12-4. On June 28th, I’ll be at Raven’s Lore bookstore as part of their Summerween event. Raven’s Lore is an indie bookstore located in Calhoun, GA. Us independents gotta stick together.

You can find out more about The Crazy Book Lady here, and Raven’s Lore here.

I hope to see you at one of these 2 fun events.

Knoxville Book Festival was last weekend, and it was a great show. I got to meet alot of new readers, some new writer friends, and hang out with writer pals. Gathering with other creatives is always refreshing and a great way to recharge those creative juices.

Next week, on April 16th, I’ll be discussing writing and publishing books at the New Georgia Public Library at 2:30. If you’re in the area and available, swing by and ask whatever questions you have. If you aren’t gonna be in the area, feel free to always ask me a question here.

I’ve got more stops planned out this year, where I’ll be shaking hands and selling books. Sign up for my substack to get my monthly newsletter with updated details on all my appearances. You can find the sign-up here.

Last weekend, I attended the Middle GA Lit Fest. I have to tell you this 1-day show in Warner Robins was a blast. I got to see some of my writer friends, while also meeting a lot of great readers. To everyone who came out, it was a pleasure getting to meet you.

For anyone, who couldn’t make it. I’m not done yet. I’ll be at ConNooga from 2/21-2/23, the Dalton-Whitfield County Library on 3/29, the Knoxville Book Festival on 4/5-4/6, and signing at The Crazy Book Lady on 6/21. I’m hoping to be adding a lot more events this year. To keep up to date, subscribe to my monthly email newsletter through my substack: https://radioactiverabbitink.substack.com/

I hope to see you out there on my misadventures.

A recent reader reviewed Toby’s Christmas Wish, my seasonal short story released in 2023. The Kindle reviewer left a 5-star rating, stating: “A good short story for those that like a little violence with their Christmas. You should give it a try!”

If you want to give it a read, you can pick up a copy here.

A reader on Goodreads recently left the following review for Reaper of the Harvest:

“Omg. Page turner. Twists and turns galore. When you thought it was figured out the bam twist. A++++ Read. 5 stars.”

If you’ve read Reaper or any of my other books, please leave a rating or review on your site of choice. Curious what the good words about? You can pick up a copy of Reaper of the Harvest here.

I recently was approached to create a themed recommendation list based on my novel Friedkin’s Curse for Shepherd.com. The topic that I chose was classic monsters in modern settings because Friedkin’s Curse has that, but it’s also something I enjoy reading. You can check out my recommendation list here.

Shepherd.com is a project that the creator developed because of his own frustration with Goodreads and Amazon (who hasn’t been there), but they’re interested in helping people discover books and new authors. I encourage you to go check out Shepherd and see what you think for yourself.

Also, if you’ve read any of the books on my list, what do you think? Did I do a good job or were there other books you’d rather see on this list?

My latest book, Citadel of the Cyclops, has received its first review. An Amazon user left a 5-star review and stated: I really loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. Constant action kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely recommend this book to others.

I’ve gotten 2 new reviews for Reaper of the Harvest on Goodreads.

One 4-star review says: I don’t think it was too scary but it reminded me of supernatural and I love horror with pagan gods and this scratched that itch perfectly! I also got mine signed so it’s all the more important to me and it was a delight to read!

While a 5-star review from Jen reads: I was hooked from the beginning and honestly didn’t want to put the book down, and found the ending to be refreshing, because it was completely unexpected.

If you’ve read any of my books recent or older, I always appreciate a review. It helps other people find my books and gives some insight on if I’m an author worth taking a chance on.

Stay tuned faithful reader, as I get ready to drop a plethora of fall dates on you for upcoming appearances and events. Until next time.

I’ve finally done it. I’ve set my next story for pre-order. You can go ahead and reserve your Kindle copy of Citadel of the Cyclops, a sword and sorcery fantasy novella, which will be released on Tuesday, July 9th. I’m excited for this one. I’ve been a big fan of sword and sorcery since Arnold’s Conan films in the 80s; I never dreamed of the literary adventures that awaited me. After dipping my toe into the genre with Kritz & the Krampus, I’m back with a full-fledged novella. Print copies will be available on July 9th as well, but aren’t up for pre-order. So, if you’re interested just click on the cover below and be transported to your first steps into a bigger world.

Don’t worry, I’ll post when it’s actually released into the wild.

If you want to pick up a print copy from me in person, I’ll be at the Crazy Book Lady in Acworth, GA on 7/20 and Metrothamcon Chibi in Collegedale, TN on 7/27. You can also subscribe to my newsletter here to keep up with my various misadventures and ramblings.

I always enjoy hearing from you, the readers. It lets me know if I’m on the right track with my stories, what works, and what doesn’t.

First, we have a 5-star review on Amazon from user Steven Page on Tales of the Hunters (Stories from the World of Winston & Baum). “Having binge-read the Winston and Baum steampunk series, I reached the final volume with some sadness, as the series had been so enjoyable. Seth tucker showed some real growth as a writer as the series progressed. Characters developed, plot lines from the first book showed up again and again to reach a conclusion, and the reader got to KNOW these people, and enjoy their adventures.

This volume tells five tales set in the W&B universe, all containing characters who will be familiar to readers of the series. The first two stories are of the “Weird West” genre, and both are deserving of treatment on film . The third story is set in Scotland, and the final two involve our heroes, Winston and Baum, in a much-welcomed prequel, and that wonderful, scene-stealing goblin, Brackish, in a solo adventure.

One of the things that makes this series so much fun, is the author takes horror tropes we all know and love, use them wisely, then gives them just enough of a twist to make the story fresh, new and memorable. This collection is a true reward for lovers of horror , steam punk and vintage pulp.

I hope Seth Tucker continues this fun series for many more years.”

I have good news for Steven. I’m working on a new Winston & Baum adventure currently.

I somehow missed this 4-star review from 2023 from Amazon user Sharon Terre for Friends Don’t Let Friends Be Undead titled: Good flow of story. No grammar errors. Builds up suspense step by step. Yes, I would recommend it. The review reads: “I enjoyed it because the vampire was not cutsey, also no sex to distract from the story line. It set up the characters nicely.”
