A Reason to Live #23 on Mystery & Thriller (free) list!
I’m really excited to be sitting next to Stephen King right now.
My Books & Titles
A Reason to Live: FREE through Monday, August 6
Get your make-believe wallets out, because my debut crime fiction novel, A Reason to Live, is FREE through Monday, August 6th on Amazon!
The sale is partially because of ARTL’s departure from the KDP Select program, but also because the sequel, Blueblood, should be hitting the streets in 2-3 weeks. There wouldn’t be a better time to grab a copy of the first book for that beach vacation, morning commute, or evening arm-chair routine with a glass of wine by your side.
Suburban literary horror? You bet…FINDING EMMA just released
I’m excited to announce I’ve just wrapped up a sinister novella project that’s been tickling my brain for years. Inspired by Stephen Dobyns’s masterful Church of Dead Girls, I take a frightening peek–not at the unknown–but the very well known.
Do you have neighbors? Did you ever wonder what goes on behind their doors? Then this should be your next read…
Synopsis
No one likes Jack. His wife is gone and his neighbors avoid him. He’s a recluse and a creep and that’s just the way he wants it.
But when ten-year old Emma goes missing in the nearby woods, the eyes of his neighbors turn on him in fear and accusation, escalating as the days pass. The answers they–and the reader–get, however, are the last that anyone would suspect…
Finding Emma is a disturbing novella of literary horror totalling 17,500 words or about 70 paperback pages.
You can nab Finding Emma at Amazon and Kobo for just $1.99.
The Six-Day Fantasy Swag Post-Mortem, Part II
This is a breakdown of a recent KDP Select experiment (a six-day sale 6/22-6/26) I ran on three short fantasy titles of mine—Sword of Kings, Assassin, and Seven Into the Bleak—to see if visibility for one would mean sustained visibility for all. Read Part I here.
The Six-Day Fantasy Swag Post-Mortem, Part I
As many of you know, in an attempt to promote some of my shorter fantasy titles, I recently (June 22-26) held a six-day sale of three of my short stories: Sword of Kings, Assassin, and Seven Into the Bleak. I thought I’d give an analysis of what I was aiming for, what I achieved, and some of the lessons learned.
