Cancer Bats! Amazon and Tiger's Return!

That's right fans, keeping with my never-ending schedule of things to do, I'll be interviewing Cancer Bats' lead vocal man Liam Cormier for an upcoming article in the March issue of Futureale magazine! The interview will be performed at Jubilee Hall in Sudbury just before the concert starts on Saturday. Everyone around here is terribly excited, especially my step-daughter Nicole who has tickets to the show. Liam's publicist has graciously allowed me to bring Nicole to meet Liam which has out her teenage energy through the roof.

Aside from that I've added some things to Amazon that should be showing up shortly. Search inside the Book will be offered for Tiger's Realm and there is a feedback section on the page just begging (well not desperate begging) for people to comment.

As if that weren't enough, I am still hard at work on Tiger's Return, it should be in editing very soon. I've also submitted a full length novel to a different publisher. It is part of the Chaos series and is titled Created through Chaos. Your favorite characters John and Kelly will be returning, along with Kelly's sister, John's father and sister as well as a slew of other new characters. I'll keep you posted on the results of that querry as things progress.

For now, my plate is full and I'm still charging ahead with new ideas, talk to you all soon!

til then, keep reading!

Torture and suffering

Me again, I know it's been a bit since my last post. It's hard with this darn broken leg. Obviously I am alive and well after my surgery, which is great. The operation was a success, a metal plate was placed just below the knee to secure my Tibia plateau. I had to wait for two days afterthe operation before they could put a cast on it, those were miserable days,but I'm feeling a bit better now that my cast is in place. It's bright orange, in honor of the upcoming holiday (My favorite time of the year!) It's not all roses and wine though, I'm always in pain, but more so when I sit at a computer. Thankfully my girlfriend brought one down to the living room for me to use. It's a hard road living with a broken bone, but I'll survive. The worst thing about it is the itching. I know everyone says that about a cast, but it's worse, because I have a large incision below my knee, so I can't shove something down there to scratch with. If I did, I' likely tear out a few staples. So it's not just the pain, it's pure torture. I wonder if they did this to people in POW camps? Anyone with information about that is welcome to pass it on o me.

On the professional side of things, Tiger's Realm has come back from the printers and I'm just waiting to receive my galley from the publisher. I'm so excited to see the book in print! my next article should be coming out in October's edition of Futureale magazine, I'll ell you more when I know more. I received a review for my "Hunted By Chaos" short story and was pleased with hat I red, check out the review. Don't forget that you can also read the companion to that story completely for free, it's called "Flight into Chaos".
The cover art fr my next short story has been finished and an be seen here. I think it looks really creepy, which is great since it's my first horror/thriller story.

Til next time, keep reading!

Free at last!

Wow I've been busy, but with all of the August edits complete, the article written and the house unpacked, I now have some free time available. I'll be out and about, taking pictures so all of you can see the city of Sudbury and the surrounding countryside. I also hope to squeeze in some fishing time, but it's not looking good with renovations and such coming up soon.
The dog is starting to adjust to his new surroundings, as is the cat. So we're finally getting a little peace from the barking (and the cat has come out of hiding)
Hunted by Chaos is doing well, we made top ten for MMP on the fictionwise website. Thanks so much for all of you readers who helped make it a success!
Not a lot more to report on at this time, we're still finalizing the contest details, but fear not, I will give you all of the details abut the riddle contest before Assassins' Treaty is released on the 28th!
That reminds me, I'd better keep working on the sequel, otherwise I'm sure to get some impatient emails...LOL
Alright, back to work for me.
'til next time, keep reading!

Deadlines are killer :(

I don't have too much time available this week, sorry. I've been so busy it's maddening, several edits as well as an article, not to mention all the other stuff I drone on about everyday!
I promise I'll be around more often next week, but for now, please bear with me.
Oh, and thanks so much to all of you who helped put "Hunted by Chaos" on the Mystic Moon best sellers list at fictionwise.com. It's great to see so many of you enjoying my writing!

New Release Today!

Finally the day is here. “Hunted by Chaos” has hit the market and is available for purchase. The links where it can be found will follow at the end of this post. First, let me tell you a bit about this story. It’s the tale of a man (John Jensley) and his dog (Rusty) as they fight through the rugged wilderness of northern Canada. John faces the most difficult challenge his career that threatens not only his job, but his very life. His only ally and best friend, an Akita dog, could be the difference between success and certain death. In this short story, I tried to capture the beauty and thrill of exploring the forests of the great white north.

A bit of background on the tale, this short story is linked to a larger work. I wrote a novel entitled “Created through Chaos”, which is still being edited. John and Rusty are characters from that novel, in fact, “Hunted by Chaos”, could be considered a prequel to the novel. I have written stories about a few of the characters, though this is the first to be published. Making a brief appearance at the end of the story is Kelly Tremblant, John’s girlfriend. She is also featured in her own short story, “Flight into Chaos”, which is currently available for free on my Author’s Den page.

Kelly is French Canadian, much like my own girlfriend, and is also the cause for the delay in “Created through Chaos”, since I chose to include some French, which requires translation by the aforementioned girlfriend. In actuality, most of Kelly’s dialogue is complete, but her flirtatious younger sister Monique, has a lot more to say. I’ve tried to write the novel so that those who do not know French will still understand and enjoy the tale, but that’s probably a year away from release, so breathe easy.

Now that I’ve strayed completely off topic, rest assured, you can buy and enjoy “Hunted by Chaos” without learning a new language (Absolutely no French). So there you have the history of it, go buy a copy, it’s only $1.29! Less if you get it fast from Fictionwise, new ebooks are always discounted. Unfortunately, at this moment, Fictionwise still hasn't released it yet, maybe in a couple of hours, just click on the link to view all of my releases on that site.
Without further delay, here is where you can buy "Hunted by Chaos" at Mystic Moon Press and Fictionwise.

I hope you enjoy, and 'til next time, keep reading!
