Secrets in the Shallows



Yesterday, "Secrets in the Shallows" gained a lot of momentum and ended up at the #88 rank on Amazon's Paranormal E-book List. Other featured authors on this list are Stephen King and Anne Rice. I'm thrilled that our book managed to be put on a list with such literary giants in this genre! To top things off, our book also reached the overall rank of #65,594 yesterday. Thank you to all of our family & friends for supporting our efforts!

As a special treat, I'd like to share a short excerpt from BOOK 2 from The Monastery Murders, called "Devil in the Details". ENJOY THE SNEAK PEAK!
_________________________________

Adrenalin pulsed through the attacker’s veins as the ropes encircling Tom Green’s neck went taunt. Power over the victim was like an addictive drug to the would-be killer. Each pull on the rope rubbed the victim’s neck raw and crushed his airway. An intense emotional rush filled the assailant with momentary satisfaction and supreme elation born from control over life and death.

The long sleeves of a habit's robe flared back with each yank, as the victim desperately tried to break free. Straining to hold Tom captive until he passed out, the attacker held a firm control. “You just had to run your big mouth, didn’t you?”

Tom’s unconscious body fell limply on the ground, still entangled in the rope. Shadows from the surrounding trees parted just enough for the pale early moonlight to shine on him. Standing there and quietly smiling, the attacker glanced over the sprawled victim for several seconds, before casting the rope aside.

Secrets in the Shallows


It's been a little while since I updated my GoodReads blog, so I thought I'd go ahead and do that now. It's been a great year for our paranormal murder mystery, "Secrets in the Shallows." Book 1 of the Monastery Murders, that I co-authored with Karen Vance Hammond, won the 2014 Paranormal Awards category for Fictional Literature! I'm so thrilled with the response to our book. Thank you to everyone who has supported Karen and I in our writing ventures. If you haven't had a chance to check out "Secrets in the Shallows," you can read a free excerpt on Goodreads, or check it out on Amazon or Barnes and Nobel.

I'm also very excited about continuing this story into the second book in the series, "Devil in the Details." We anticipate to have it out early 2015. Although I am disappointed that we weren't able to finish it in time for the holidays in 2014, I would rather the story be exactly right than rush to complete it and not have it be finished exactly right. Look for more information soon on the release of "Devil in the Details."

In addition to the publishing news, I have been working on a new blog site. "On the Ragged Edge" will feature both the info for my books, reviews (for both mine and other authors), as well as any other projects that I am working on. I've also been working on some initial concepts for several screenplays with my other half, Chris Matheny. I'll provide updates on everything as they come available. Until then, delve into the shallows and enjoy!

I have been thinking about creating an author blog for about 2 years now. I would always put it behind other projects, and it never would get further than a few moments of time at once. Finally, I set my mind to it and I finished it. I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. You can go to http://www.ontheraggededge.com to find out more about my upcoming writing projects, including Book 2, 'Devil in the Details.' Soon, I will include book reviews and other author or writing advice. Enjoy!

Great news! I have been working steadily on the final paranormal murder mystery installment of The Monastery Murders series, "Method in the Madness." I've even completed the front cover design already. Although I'm not as far along as I would like to be on my manuscript, I am going to aim for a target release of late 2016 in order to motivate myself even more. I may have to work a few long weekends and miss some sleep, but I will do my best to meet my goal deadlines to keep up and finish on schedule.

I know that many of my readers have expressed their excitement for "Method in the Madness" to be released. I assure everyone that I am working as quickly as I can. At the same time, I want to make sure that all of the details come together and that everyone will say it was worth the wait. Book 3 promises to answer all of the final looming questions left at the end of book 2, Devil in the Details, but will also enlighten the readers about many more secrets hidden in the past. Since Book 1 is the "What?" and Book 2 is the "Who?", it is fitting for Book 3 to be the "Why?" I am extremely happy with what I have completed so far. I'm sure my readers will enjoy it, too.

For now, I am giving you a sneak peak of some of the cover. I'm saving the best part of the cover for last! Watch for more release details and the complete cover later this spring. By then, I may even have some more information on a future prequel series I have planned. There is much more in store for the little fictional town of Wattsville, Maine.

If you haven't already read my back-to-back, 2014 and 2015 Paranormal Awards winning books, "Secrets in the Shallows" and "Devil in the Details," check out the free excerpts on Amazon. These creepy, paranormal murder mysteries will keep you on the edge of your seat.
