A Review & Other News

A review of Night School by M. Whitt, author of Planet Gemini, has been posted on Amazon.com.  You can also purchase the book if you haven’t done so already, via this link.

I am in the middle of doing an interview with Mark Fewell of CALLIOPE to be featured in his section called, ‘Scary Scrawlings.’  Along with the interview, there is a possibility of a short story of mine being published, as well.  I’ll keep you updated on when the issue will be out and how to go about getting it.

Also, a reminder that I will be reading a 10-12 minute excerpt from Night School on the Authors Read program on Blog Talk Radio on Jan. 19th at Noon (ET).  You can find out how to listen to the show by clicking the above link or checking out Appearances/News.  I’ll be posting a reminder of the show later this week with this information, as well.

In other news…

I have begun collaborating with a t-shirt maker to design and sell Night School shirts. 

Started throwing around design ideas with JD Boren of JDB Knives to design and sell a hand crafted, limited edition knife depicting the essence Night School.  If you are a knife enthusiast and enjoy quality, hand crafted knives, I suggest checking out his site and ordering something.  Of course, once the design (which will be posted at a later date), price and availability of the Night School knife is good-to-go, I will let you know how to go about ordering it.

Withersin Interview & Update to Booksigning

I mentioned here about my first booksigning of the year on Feb. 7th.  Of course, I will have on hand a number of copies of Night School that you can purchase and have me sign (along with free bookmarks, etc) or you can bring in your own copy for me to sign.  Along with having the book, Al Vermette, the publisher of the magazine (and a heck of a guy), will be providing me with a limited number (5) of copies of Werewolf Magazine #9 (comes out this month) containing my short story, ‘Thirst.’  The copies of the magazine will be $3.00 (2-bones off the cover price) so you can not only check out my short story, but enjoy all the other great stories contained within and learn more about the magazine, itself.  Hopefully, this will make you thirsty for more of what Sapphire Publications (Blood Moon Rising) has to offer.

If you aren’t able to make the book signing but still want a copy of Werewolf #9, visit the Bookstore to learn how to get one (or two, or three, or…).

Macabre Friday

First, I would like to say that I hope everyone had a Safe and Happy New Years! 

From the work I did at the end of 2008, this year should be pretty exciting.  As you know, I have many interviews lined up, book signings, conventions I will be attending, etc.  Last week, I also submitted quite a few new short stories to various magazines for them to review and decide if they wish to publish.  As I did last year, I will be making 2, 3 and sometimes even 4 posts each week with news, events, etc.  So, I hope you enjoyed your 2008 and look forward to the beginning of another new year…here’s to you!  Thank you for all your support in 2008 and beyond.

Below is this week’s edition of…Macabre Friday…enjoy!

As a side note, I heard from the publishers of Werewolf Magazine, who will be including my short story, ‘Thirst’ in this month’s issue.  It should be available for purchase in the next few weeks.  Once I know for sure, I’ll provide a link for you to check it out and buy it if you want it.

And remember, if you haven’t picked up Night School yet and wish to do so, you can always click here to find out where to purchase it.
