Update on first story for Patreon

[ppp_patron_only level=”1″ silent=”no”]

The first short story I’ll be posting for Patrons Only on Patreon will be ready to post on August 1st. The notes from my first readers are coming in today and tomorrow, so I’ll be making some tweaks this weekend and then we should be good to go.

The really good news is, other brand new short stories are already in rough draft form. I’ll continue working on them to get them into shape, which might take some time.

I am not a fast writer because writing,...

General Update & Last Day To Qualify For NEW Signed Limited Edition Chapbook!

Well, it’s been quiet around here because I was really busy with the LetterPress Publications launch of Revival by Stephen King when I got a kidney stone on May 14! Which then went silent until last Saturday when it came roaring back while I was in the mountains camping in the middle of nowhere… and it tormented me until yesterday morning when I finally passed the little bugger! What fun!

So, I missed out on doing a bunch of the promotions I had planned for Revival, and it goes without saying...

New trade paperback of MORE THAN MIDNIGHT shipping now!

The new trade paperback edition of More Than Midnight is shipping to Level Six and higher supporters on Patreon this week, and orders through Cemetery Dance Publications are being fulfilled as well. Orders via Amazon won’t be signed, but on the other hand Amazon can also have a copy of the book with that amazing Vincent Chong cover artwork in your hands in two days or less, so that’s pretty tempting, eh?

More Than Midnight trade paperback

As you might recall, this is actually a newly revised and expanded edition of More Than...

Exciting News: LetterPress Publications Will Be Adding A Few Friends to the Line-Up Soon!

Since October of last year I’ve been putting together plans to do a little more with my personal press, LetterPress Publications, beyond just publishing my own chapbooks and books for my Patreon supporters — although LPP will still do that! — and I want to share some important information with you today since I’ll be making a pretty big announcement for LetterPress Publications tomorrow, May 15.

A LITTLE HISTORY:
I’ve worked at Cemetery Dance Publications full-time since 2002, and I’ll be the...

JUST PUBLISHED! The Zombie Who Cried Human: a new kind of children’s book!

I’m extremely pleased to report the trade hardcover edition of The Zombie Who Cried Human has been published and is shipping now, and it really turned out beautifully. Glenn Chadbourne’s artwork brought Boy Zombie and his entire town to life… so to speak… and I’m really pleased by how this came together.

WHAT AGE RANGE IS THIS FOR?
I’ve been asked what age range this book is for, which is a great question. My answer is simple: it’s for kids of all ages who are prepared for the style of artwor...
