Dire News

Yesterday I finished writing Lost Tribes of the Dire Planet and it now stands at 128,000 words of pure pulp sword and science fiction.  This books ran somewhat longer than the other Dire Planet novels as I had a multitude of plot threads and story lines which needed some resolution.

Between Strange Gods of the Dire Planet and Lost Tribes of the Dire Planet I've been living on the Dire Planet for over a year.  Now the hard work begins--the brutal editing and revision process.  Because the two novels are closely knit together I'll be editing them consecutively before submitting them to Pulpwork Press--after which they will undergo yet further editing.

Strange Gods is slated for a 2011 release and Lost Tribes of the Dire Planet for a 2012 release.  Of course, the first three Dire Planet books are available at PulpWork.com, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.

The Sea Witch Visits the Book Cave

The other day I spent some time with Ric Croxton and Art Sippo of the Book Cave chatting about my latest novel, The Sea Witch.  Find out the inside scoop and discover just which famous actor was my visual and attitude model for the character Seth Armstrong.

Also, feel free to pick up a copy of The Sea Witch at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or direct from the PulpWork Press website.

Lost Tribes of the Dire Planet

I'm currently 104,000 words deep and in the midst of wrapping up multitudes of plotlines for book five of the Dire Planet series.

"Book Five?" you say.  "Your publisher hasn't even released book four--Strange Gods of the Dire Planet--yet!"

That's right.  This whole publishing racket takes time.  Look for Strange Gods in 2011 and Lost Tribes in 2012.

Blood Vault Art

Artist Noel Tuazon has posted a few of his awesome black and white illustrations for the Blood Vault at his blog Ribs Inc.  This includes one never before seen illustration that wasn't used for the final print product because it was just a bit too graphic. My publisher realizes I've got impressionable youth reading my stories...

Dracula Lives

Just in time for Halloween, Pulpwork Press has released Dracula Lives by Joshua Reynolds.  There are currently two reviews of this horror extravaganza available for your perusal:  The first at Percival Constantine's Blog and the second at a website its owners quaintly refer to as Hellnotes.  Dracula Lives is now available on Amazon.

Sea Witch Review

Percival Constantine is the first reviewer out of the gate and has posted a review of my latest book, The Sea Witch, at his blog.

Through the Groaning Book Cave

A few days ago I spent some time being interviewed by the indubitably well read Dr. Art Sippo and Ric Croxton for the Book Cave PODcast which is now available.  We talk about my dark fantasy novel, Through the Groaning Earth and its predecessor, Escape from Devil's Head.  Give it a listen and if you like what you hear pick up a copy of Through the Groaning Earth at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or on Kindle.
