Publishers – Book of the Week – Night School!
From my publisher:
Congratulations! We have selected your book, Night School, to be our next Book of the Week. We base our decision for book of the week on a number of factors: sales, reviews, recommendations, and reader interest. All of our books are considered each week when choosing the title. It is indeed an honor to have your book selected, and I am proud that you are one of our authors.
If you have been waiting to buy the book, now would be the time to do it – my publisher is taking 5-bones off the cover price.
So, if you want to see Night School as the Book of the Week or Buy it, click here and it will take you to my publisher’s site.

At long last, your opportunity to purchase my novel, Night School is here.

You can also access the above links in the Bookstore.
If you haven’t yet read what Night School is about, click here.
A side note on the ‘release date’ that I previously mentioned. The release date of 1/17/09, means that it will be available at all the book distributors and online retailers by that date. But, of course, it is available now at the ones above. So, if you order now, your copy will be shipped now and not in January. By all intensive purposes, the book has already been released and can now be ordered by anyone; bookstores, the public, etc.
If you do decide to order a copy, feel free to drop me a line here and let me know. Also, don’t forget to check out the FAQs to learn how you can get your copy signed by me after you receive it.
Sticker Shock you say?! Yeah, well, what can I say…I didn’t set the price…if I had my way, it would be free for everyone. Ok, well, maybe not.
What’s going on…
There are a few things I would like to update you all on.
1) I was contacted by a new magazine (can’t say which one, yet) that will debut early next year. They inquired with me about the possibility of them doing a feature on me in their Oct 09 issue, with an interview, short story, etc. Additionally, they asked if I would be interested in writing a ‘review’ for them. I, of course, said, yes – to just give me the details and that I would come up with something.
Once these are set in stone, I will of course let you know.
2) I mentioned here about my short story, ‘The Ringmaster’ being published in the Nov. edition of Orion’s Child Magazine. I said I would update you all on the link so you could read it, but it hasn’t went live as of yet. Once I find out what’s going on, I will let you know.
3) Began another step in the promotion and marketing of Night School by contacting libraries here in Ohio and around the rest of the US, asking them to pre-order the book from the publisher and place it on their shelves.
4) I mentioned here about me working on a Chapbook. Currently, a publisher in the UK is reviewing it.
5) There is a film producer that is currently reviewing the short stories that are making up the Chapbook.
With everything that is going on, I haven’t had much time to write anything new, especially not the new novel I was working on before Night School was accepted for publication. Although, I am in the middle of a creepy short story about a Mummy, that I hope to have done by the end of the week. I’ll then start shopping that around to different magazines, as well.
Hope everyone is doing well and don’t forget about the Contest!
Release Date of Night School
I was informed this morning that the official release date of Night School will be January 17, 2009. There will of course be a few places that you will be able to ‘pre-order’ it prior to that date. Once I know of these retailers, I will let you know.
As a reminder, you can read the back cover text and an excerpt from Night School to your right under Freebies.
Cover to Night School
Below you will find the cover to my upcoming novel, Night School. The artwork has been approved at the publisher and now the book is off to the printer. When I am informed of the official release date, I will let you know.
Night School – Update
Yesterday, I received from the publisher the final page proofs for my upcoming novel, Night School. Since that time, I have reviewed and given my sign-off on the text. Now, it will officially enter the cover design stage of publication. Again, let’s just hope they use the artwork that I sent in.
At this point, I expect to hear from the cover design department within the next week or two and then the book will be sent to the printer. I will also have a better idea at that time of the official release date and will share it with you then.
It’s getting closer, people…

Update: Page Proofs for Night School
So, I read like a man possessed last night and this morning and finished noting my requested changes to the page proofs to Night School. Since then, I have sent them back to the publisher. They will hopefully implement all my changes and send me back the final proofs to sign-off on. Then, like I said, the book will go into the cover design department. Hopefully, this stage will be quick, as I already submitted a piece of artwork for the book to have. Of course, the publisher always has final say on this, so, again, I just have to keep my fingers crossed.
Once that stage is done, the book will go to the printer and I will be informed of the release date. I will then post the cover to the book on here and let you know when and where the book will be available.
Just a reminder, that you can read the synopsis (back cover) and an excerpt from Night School, under Freebies over on your right.
