Scariest book cover of all time?

I'll be premiering the cover of the second book in my "Nightfall Gardens" trilogy, "The Shadow Garden," on my author's page. Like it to get a first glimpse.

Book Two: Nightfall Gardens is coming soon

I've seen the cover of "The Shadow Garden" and all I can say is "wow." Tony Roberts knocked himself out. Totally creepy. The book is in the last stages of being edited and will be out in the next week (fingers crossed).

Gummy Nightfall Gardens

My good friend Jenice (who is an amazing artist, inspirer, ass-kicker) created some ‘gummy’ art inspired by Nightfall Gardens. Check out her Nightfall Gardens Gummy art on my blog.

Can't wait for Volume 2

New review for Nightfall Gardens

"This book draws you in right away. The story has some darker elements, but it is a fun read that especially wowed me with its rich and descriptive language. Houston can really turn a phrase."

Hooked on the book

I'm now a Mr. New review.

"Mr. Houston rewards the reader's curiosity whenever one strays into the gardens or into forbidden rooms, tantalizing all the way with episodes of horror and fantasy. I'm hooked and already regretting loaning the book to my fiance because I want to read it again. Book Two can't come quickly enough."

Couldn't stop reading

Another "Nightfall Gardens" review!

"I intended to read it over the weekend but once started I did not put it down until the end. The author ended the book leaving my wishing for more so I am anxious for the next in this series. A perfect read for tweens, teens and adults."

'Shadow Garden' coming soon

I've just finished the first round of edits on "The Shadow Garden", the second nook in the Nightfall Garden trilogy. I think its bigger, bolder, darker and carries the series in unexpected directions.
It will be released at the end of August or early September. Firm release date to come soon.
