Zack Love totally won me over with his new release, City Solipsism! It reminded me why i started reading in the first place! City Solipsism: A Short Story

This Is Not an Accident: Stories by April Wilder and outside short stories, the novel The Possibilities: A Novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings.

Just released February 1, 2014 Book two of the Hidden Mountain Series by Jacqueline Rhoades, Changing Times. Jonel Boyko just posted a review that pretty much sums it up!

Been waiting for this one since Preston's Mill was published...now it's finally here.

I'm way too excited for Colleen Hoovers, ! One more month!!!!

I know I can't wait to read it also.

I'm waiting for my artist to finalize her work on the cover of the next work out of my literary hopper, "KING ARTHUR'S SISTER IN WASHINGTON'S COURT by Mark Twain as channeled by Kim Iverson Headlee". :)

Oh yes I did. Full-blown 19th-century Twain-esque style... and it will be illustrated, just as his was.

Thank you for the opportunity to announce the release of my contemporary suspense novel, The Proof.
Enjoy the trailer!

In addition to my own book, I'm eager for Brotherband 4 by John Flanagan which is being released this June. The 17th, to be precise. I WANT IT!!!

Certainly looking forward to the release of A Deeper Cut by Sheri Wren Haymore! It's due out Feb. 14 & can be found through Amazon.

Have you seen the Blackfish documentary? Heard about the dolphin hunting in Japan?

A greatly inspirational sci-fi thriller that focuses on Earth's other sentient beings, is being released in May.

It's a book I'll never forget, as it opens gates that I'd never dared even look for.

What's awesome is that the publisher and author are now giving away 25 copies of the book.

Here you can find more information about the book, as well as enter the giveaway.

Unlucky 13 by James Patterson

Waiting for lots of books this year. The current is Kim Harrisons Undead Pool. In March is Patricia Briggs Night Broken. In May is Jim Butchers Skin Game and Darynda Jones 6th Grave on the Edge. June is Kevin Hearnes Shattered, CE Murphys Shaman Rises and Nalini Singhs Shield of Winter. There are others all through those months but those are the big ones. Then there is July... So far away, and all the ones I desperately want. In July we have a new Downside Ghost, which still doesn't have a title yet. Then there is the new Dani O'Malley.. and although it isn't a Fever book, still helps fill the craving until Mac and Barrons are back... and finally- Ilona Andrews is sending us more Kate with Magic Breaks. It's a really long time until July.

Wanted to share some excellent news with you. Wildside Press has just released my new book, HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS. Here is a link to its GoodReads page: Hideous Faces, Beautiful Skulls .

I am best known for stories that mix humor and horror, such as the tales you will find in my collections, Best Little Witch-House in Arkham and Beach Blanket Zombie: Weird Tales of the Undead and Other Humanoid Horrors . But there is also a darker, more serious side to my work. The best of my darkest stories have been compiled in HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS.

Many of these tales concern strange magic, evil glamour, and the horrors of love gone wrong. As with any collection of my work, you will encounter monsters aplenty: evil cats, alien lovers, aquatic humanoids, a vicious Egyptian monstrosity, magic zombies, Internet witches, ghouls and others that defy description.

If anyone is interested, I've just released my latest stand-alone Horror novel, Secrets Room:

What would you do if you woke in a room filled with strangers, with no memory of how you got there, and no way out?

Morgan Drimmel wakes to find herself in the midst of that nightmare. The gouged, blood-splattered walls scream of terror and torture, and the unrelenting light that shines between the cracks in the walls fills her with dread.

When the others in the room wake, they form alliances, and Morgan finds herself drawn to rogue biker Slade Rivers. But dependence, for her, has always come with a deadly price.

Those inside the room have secrets too; dark secrets they will go to any length to keep from getting out. When evil rears its ugly head, Morgan will not only have to fight to survive—she will also have to trust.

Out Now, from Crystal Lake Publishing, Jasper Bark (author) and Rob Moran (cover and interior artwork):

Warning! Do not buy this book, gentle reader.

No really, we mean it. Move along, click away from this page and go look at some Dino porn instead. We’re not kidding. The only reason we published it is because award winning author Jasper Bark has got some serious dirt on us. Honestly, there’s no other reason to put out something this depraved.

This is the sickest, filthiest and most horny novella you’re likely to read this year. It will turn you on even as it turns your stomach. Think you’ve seen everything there is to see in horror and erotica? Think again! Just when you think this story can’t get any lower it finds new depths to plumb.

Why are you still reading this?! Oh God you’re going to buy it aren’t you? You can’t help yourself. You’re going to click on that purchase button and download this little bad boy.
Well don’t say we didn’t warn you...

Crystal Lake Publishing

Amazon universal link: http://getbook.at/AmazonStuckOnYou

"Stuck On You is one of the most harrowing and entertaining pieces of dark fiction any of you are likely to encounter ... in a very brief stanza of prose Jasper gives us intense eroticism, gore, and a medical affliction seldom (if ever) tackled in the annals of fiction before. Within each small chapter, horror is piled upon horror ... so that just when you feel safe again Jasper decides to throw on yet another dark layer to the maelstrom ... And hovering under the surface is always a welcome modicum of droll humour." – Matthew Tait – Hellnotes

"The kind of magic we’re looking for when we search the horror section in our local book store... I recommend eating a very light meal at least an hour before you pick up this book. And don’t try to guess ahead, this ending is scrumptious; truly a masterful climax ... a ticking time bomb of vomitous delight." – Mass Movement Magazine

"Just when I thought I had seen it all in horror novels, along comes, Stuck On You. The central premise ... is truly horrifying, ... in a grotesques sort of way it is also quite amusing. Stuck On You is one hell of a wild ride that is as sexy as it is horrifying ... highly recommended." – Horror World

" disturbing, gross-out horror with ALOT of sex thrown in... fast paced and stomach turning!" – Horror-Web

"not a story for the faint of heart... hilarious, written with tongue firmly in cheek (maybe some other places as well)... It’s crazy shit, it’s crazy fun, and it all leads up to a twisted and satisfying finale." – Josh Black - Horror Novel Reviews

"It has a way that just seems to keep you engaged, despite smelling my dinner burning in the background ...The gore and gross factor are right up there with some pretty hot sex going on in here too." – Vix Kirkpatrick

"... you’re never going to read something both horribly disgusting, and so brilliantly written, ever again. Ever." - Colum McKnight - Dreadful Tales

“… it will make you feel very uncomfortable and physically sick, and it will stay with you for a very long time. To enjoy this book should be wrong, very wrong, but Jasper Bark has created something very special and it needs to be read.” – Lisa McCarthy – Dark Thoughts

I have 3 releases this year! His Bahamas Affair the #2 book of the Albury Affairs series. the third book His Paris Affair will be out this June and my first regency romanceTrial Of Love

Can I mention my new book recently published?:



Thanks!

Hello from sunny southern Vancouver Island, BC. Really excited to announce the publication of HEARTSONG, the debut of my new inspirational series called the Sisterhood of Shepherds.

A couple of early reviewers said:

“The story will reach right in and take hold of your heart, seizing it until the very last page.”
“An uplifting reading experience of love, caring, family, friends, healing, & resolving.”

Some families have hope. Others have faith. The Shepherds of rural Oregon have Faith, Hope and Charly, three quirky sisters whose ongoing struggle to keep the family plant nursery blooming will have you laughing and crying.

Then, tragedy strikes. When the three sisters reluctantly delve into family secrets to help their ailing father fulfill a promise, their lives change forever as they pursue a new inspirational path of discovery, heartache, humor and redemption.

Love to hear what you think. It's already a bestseller in Amazon's gardening category. Now, gotta go pot up some succulents!

I am looking forward to the release of City of Heavenly Fire in May

Silver Shadows I'm looking forward to since last year I think...

Shield of Winter is another one I'm looking forward to.

Dark Blood definitely waiting for this one!

I have to many and probably have missed off a few - but they are all marked in my calendar at work, my filofax and my phone and I think all are already pre-ordered in either paperback or kindle :)

Orion Connection is currently FREE to Amazon Prime members that own a Kindle device as a borrow through the Kindle Owner's Lending Library. We'd appreciate some more honest reader reviews before we debut it at this month's Book Expo America in New York City.

Just released on May 19, 2014! AfterLife

Book #1 in The Starbuck Chronicles series!

The fine thread between reality and the fantastical has snapped. The mortal and supernatural must learn to co-exist in post-reality Minneapolis/St. Paul where video games leak monsters into the night, demons roam, thirsting for more than just blood, people are not who or what they seem and a diabolical evil plots and plans to devour the world.

I can't wait for these, , and . All three will be out between June and September.
