The Night Walk Men: Corinthian
I'm pleased to announce the new short story, Corinthian. It's available now at Amazon and forthcoming at other online retailers.
This is a tale set in the Night Walk Men universe where such stories as Kro and The Devil's Right Hand have flourished. And, yes, where a few people have died horrible deaths. If you have enjoyed any of the tales involving Sperro and his brothers, you'll want to snatch

Maria Savva Launches Her Title, "3"
Author Maria Savva and I go way back. Well, as far back as a couple of years. We've even written a book together -- which was a blast and turned out far better than I think anyone expected.
Knowing that Maria has a bit of a dark side to her writing of late, it might surprise you that she's down-to-earth and so genuinely thoughtful and nice. In fact, Maria bought me lunch once and didn't even

The Right Font for Your eBook Cover: A Case Study
I've had some compliments on my book jackets and other design items and I'm always reluctant to mention to folks who like them that I have done every one of them myself. I have been a graphic designer, editor and writer for about ten years and the design part of a book launch is one of the really fun parts.
Don't get me wrong; it's also agonizing, excruciating and detailed work. I have been

5 Things Agents Hate
You've finally finished writing the greatest novel of all time. It's smart, it's fast. It's literary and popular all at the same time. You're just certain it will take the reading public by storm. If you can only get it in the hands of readers.
You've been told that the best way through the massive set of publishing hurdles is to start by querying an agent who will be so taken by your brilliance

That Tingle
When's the last time you had a physical reaction to a book you read?
For me, it's been a while. But in editing my latest project, I found myself feeling what I call "that tingle." I get an itchy crawl on my scalp and a tingling sensation. Some might say it's a shiver or a cool rush. Maybe a heat flood in the face. I bet everyone has a different kind of physical reaction, but mine makes it clear:

What the heck is a Mosaic Novel?
A mosaic novel is a novel in which individual chapters or short stories share a common setting or set of characters with the aim of telling a linear story from beginning to end, with the individual chapters, however, refracting a plurality of viewpoints and styles.
About a year ago, when sales of my short novel, SHED, were accelerating faster than anything else with my name on it, I was

Giveaway! Name that book!
The holidays are right around the corner, and though I haven't finished wrapping (or even buying gifts for my loved ones) I thought it might be fun to give a whackload of gifts away to my friends and followers.
Through the wonder of NaNoWriMo, I'm writing the third book in the Dovetail Cove series and I wondered what readers expect it might be called. The first book was called BLED, the

Released at Amazon // The Devil's Right Hand
Hi Everyone! I know. I've been an awful tease most of my adult life. And not just with book-related stuff. But, I'm here to announce that The Devil's Right Hand is now available -- at least in a few places. I'm not doing a big book launch this time. There will be no fireworks. It's been an awful year with all kinds of lows and highs. Quite frankly, I'm exhausted. But I'm so happy with the final
