Author Interview: Vampires Vs. Aliens, Book 5 (coming March 2022)
KD: First, let me thank you for conducting this interview, or at least a portion of it on VVA5. I’m told by my publisher and by Amazon the book is coming out in two weeks and there’s no way I’d have time to write any marketing blurbs on it. So thank you; you get a free copy. [Laughs]
JJ: For any of my readers who don’t know, VVA5 is Vampires Vs. Aliens, Book 5.
KD: Right. Thanks. We abbreviate all the titles here, so I just think of it as VVA. And for my blog readers, just let them know, t...

OZ, BOOK 2 IN THE WONDERLAND TRILOGY ��� HOT OFF THE PRESSES!
Exactly one year ago, I published Wonderland. I had planned for Wonderland to be a standalone novel but the following November it seemed logical, even preordained, that I should write a sequel sourced from the L. Frank Baum���s Oz books. (And if I were doing that, then it would have to be a trilogy with the third book sourced from J. M. Barrie���s Peter Pan the following November).
Since it is a trilogy, Ozwill make more sense if you read the first book, so go out and purchase Wonderland; I���...

OZ, BOOK 2 IN THE WONDERLAND TRILOGY ��� JUST PUBLISHED!
Last year I gave you Wonderland; today, welcome to Oz!
My novel Wonderland relied heavily on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, with some characters borrowed from The Oz books by L. Frank Baum, and Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. Okay, I took a few creative liberties. Wonderland is the ultimate stream of consciousness novel, much like its namesake. In Carroll���s original stories, there���s no plot or conflict: Alice goes to a strange place, encounters w...
