Genie vs. Djinn Cover Art!
Genie vs. Djinn, the third book in my Zimmah Chronicles series will be releasing next month and I just got the art! The art was done by Michael Regina. This is the fifth book cover we have worked on together and I’ve been absolutely floored by his skills, commitment, and ability to get the covers done on time.
Michael isn’t just a cover artists though. He also does his own books and his newest book Adamsville Vol 2. is now on Kickstarter!
Back it here:

Even if you didn’t get Vol 1 you can pick them both up via the Kickstarter. I loved the first book and I’m ecstatic to see the next one so make sure you check it out.

Win an All-New Kindle Paperwhite!
Fall has arrived, though in coastal Texas, it’s still 90 degrees and we went to the beach twice this week. I miss real fall and seeing leaves change colors. One of my favorite things to do before we moved down here was to read a book on a cool fall day.
So in honor of all the beautiful foliage that most of you will be seeing in the next month or so I’m giving away a kindle. All you gotta do is head here to head here. Good Luck!

What’s Up? Magazine!
Three years ago at the Baltimore Comic Con, a reporter wanted to ask me a few questions cause they were a big fan of “Holiday Wars.” I never knew what happened to that interview. Well randomly it got thrown into an article and that article came out last week in “What’s up?” magazine.
Here is a screen capture of my quotes:
You can read the whole article online here. Also if anyone is around Annapolis and wants to snag me a copy, please do!
