Behind The Words // Krystal Wade

Behind The Words presents author Krystal Wade. Her new book, Wilde's Fire was released in March and it's my pleasure to welcome her to the Farthest Reaches. Oh Krystal...?







Hey guys! So glad I could be here with Jason today, talking about me (who doesn't like to talk about themselves?) and my novel Wilde's Fire. Have you read it yet? Sigh. Maybe some day. ;-)

New Night Walk Men Story: KRO

This summer, the first full-length novel in The Night Walk Men saga will be released. As a teaser to the new book, The Devil's Right Hand, a new story is out now. Right now. Yes, as in, this moment, you can download it and read it and tell your reader-friends where to find it.

It's called Kro and folks who enjoyed the opening salvo of The Night Walk Men novella are not going to want to miss

"Collide-a-Scope" // Short Story Inspirations

For me, stories are living, breathing things.

I often come up with ideas after the collision of two seemingly random events or inspirations. They bash into each other somewhere in my head, then coalesce into something different from the simple sum of parts. And if the new view is unique or startling enough to me, I set about to work on the book or story -- because I simply must.

The Night Walk Men // Excerpt from a new novel...

There are two things I'd like to share today.





First, a sneak peek at an opening chapter from the premier long novel in The Night Walk Men series which will be titled The Devil's Right Hand. As some of you may know, it's slated for release this year and is in the editing stage.

You've already met Donnie Lo, holed up in a basement apartment in Vancouver's notorious downtown east side. Now

Behind The Words // John Lindensmith

My guest this week is John R. Lindensmith, a young author I met via the web. John's work sounds disturbing and what I like about his guest post is that he shows it's never too early to get started writing, sharing one's work, and publishing. Take it away, John...



My name is John R. Lindensmith. I am a 22-year-old self-published author from West Fargo, North Dakota. I just published my second

Behind The Words // Marni Mann

I'll be honest. I'm not sure what drew me to try Marni Mann's new book. She and I have been connected on the web via Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads and probably a few other places for some time, and I knew what she liked to read, what she liked about my writing and that she seemed very far from the subject matter of her first novel. Yeah. That's it. I think that's has to be it, the very heart of

Behind The Words // David Lender

I met Author David Lender through his acquaintance with a good friend of mine, Eden Baylee. She said, "Hey, check this guy out!" I did. And it began a connection that has, thus far, culminated in David coming to the Reaches to hang out. 




More about David, and, boyohboy, it gets interesting: He's the bestselling author of Vaccine Nation, Trojan Horse, The Gravy Train and Bull Street. He spent
