~ Crisler wishes me flat beer!

Lincoln Crisler posted a funny and flattering review of Sacrifice on his blog today. He's a little "pissed off" at how it ends, and closes his review by wishing me flat beer forever if I'm not working on a sequel LOL. (I do have one in mind, but it's not on its way in the near future, I'm afraid).

Here's some of what he wrote:

I refuse to say it finishes the story, however. I don't want to believe John's going to let Kieran's (and Alex') story end with the final chapter of Sacrifice. I guess that'

~ F-Y thrills to SACRIFICE!

So I just happened on the Facebook page of the Fatally-Yours.com site tonight and found this newly posted review of my novel SACRIFICE. It was too good not to share because I'm hoping a lot of horror fans will ultimately check this book out. I'm really proud of it, and the reviews have been amazing.  Here's a snippet of the new one:

Sacrifice is a thrilling and shocking piece of genre fiction that deserves to be on every horror fan's shelf. It's got enough gore and perversion to shock even the mo

~ OFIARA + THE 13TH Flats!

This was a reallllllly good mail day!

I've been waiting for weeks for my copies of the Polish edition of Sacrifice to hit my doorstep (known across the water as Ofiara). I have asked my wife dozens of times on the phone while at work: Hey, is there a box from Poland in the mail?

She always said No.

But today - she called me to say: Hey… the mailman just had me sign for a box from Poland.

I didn't hop in the car at that moment and race home, but I wanted to! What she didn't tell me, was that there wa

~ Sacrifice Tour: Wrapping Up!

Back at the end of April, when I started visiting bookstores and doing signings to promote my novel Sacrifice, I had this idea that I would blog every week about the tour, post pictures, produce kind of a travelogue…

Yeah. That didn't happen.

In early May, I chronicled week one (San Diego, St. Louis and Springfield), but since then, I've been running around too much to blog about where I've been, until now, as it all winds down.

This weekend is the last blast of the "tour proper" which, ironically,

~ Hypericon & a BBQ obsession

I’ve always loved barbecue. Hell, I have my own secret sauce recipe. I’ve had great barbecue in Kansas City and Austin and Dallas, among other cities. But my favorite to date may be a little place in Nashville, TN called Jack’s Bar-B-Que.

Thank you, Hypericon, for having me down to Nashville so I could discover it!

Here’s how it all went down. (And FYI - you can click on any photos on this page for larger versions.)

On Thursday morning, June 4th, I climbed into HAUNTER, my Mustang, and hit the high

~ Stokers 2009 Redux w/Pix!

I’ve been to several Bram Stoker Award ceremonies over the years. I remember my first couple, in the early 2000s, felt very formal and a little stuffy (though that might have had more to do with me being a newbie to the field than the events themselves). The l

~ INFERNALLY signed

It’s been a month of signing Necro Publications signature sheets for me! A couple weeks ago I signed all the inside pages for the hardcover edition of my novel, THE 13TH, which Necro will issue next month. And last night I finished signing a stack of 500 signature sheets for the anthology INFERNALLY YOURS, which Necro will also be issuing in a month or two.
