The lovely Nova Sparks asked me to help spread the word that she and James Crawford have their ebooks set to free for today only. -Rainy

Every High School has their social outcasts. The band nerds, the math geeks, the chess club, the girl that chews her hair, but at Butler High, even the creepy nose picker in the chess club is more popular than Caleo Anima. No matter what he did, his pale skin, snow white hair, and piercing blue eyes always made him an easy target. He used to think that the o...

Something Written, Something Read: Summoned Reveal + Giveaway

Another great book blog–Something Written, Something Read–shared the Summoned cover and giveaway. There is no shortage of book blurbs and author interviews over there, so go check it out.

And Now For Something. . .Odd. My Cthulian Baby

Don’t ask how I found this.

No, really. Don’t.

Or why I felt compelled to share it. That one I can’t even answer. But anyone who is remotely familiar with Lovecraft’s Cthulhu needs to hear this…

NOTE: This is not safe for work, or for people with good taste.

Psycho Trynamic: Summoned Reveal + Giveaway

Summoned stopped by Psycho Trynamic, but let’s just stop for a minute and revel in the blog name. Pretty cool, right? While I’m an unashamed WordPress fan, Psycho Trynamic proves good things can happen with Tumblr too.

Lynn Mullican: Summoned Reveal + Giveaway

The awesome Lynn Mullican featured Summoned on her blog. Lynn has an epic series in the works, with vampires and werewolves and all the things the paranormal crowd can’t get enough of. However, her work is adult, with darker creatures, erotic scenes, and lots of martial arts. Stop by and tell her hi!

How To Promote Your Book: I’ve Already Broken My Own Rule

If you didn’t notice this *points to the navigation bar* or this *points to the side bar* or this *points to Twitter* then you might be surprised to learn I’m releasing a book on March 28th. Chances are, however, that you have not been spared my on-going spaztasticness (that’s a word–maybe).

So, I’ve decided to chronicle my mis-adventures here on the blog, mainly because people have been asking “So, what are you doing to promote Summoned?” and also because there’s few things as entertaining as...

Read SUMMONED Part One

As promised, here’s the first section of Summoned. No Wattpad account required.

I dislike having to murder someone. Kidnapping is worse. At least when I setup a kill, I know what’s coming. No connections, no honesty, no surprises. Everything I say and do are just steps to luring in my victim. Once the victim falls right into the trap, the next move is swift: crushed windpipe, fatal concussion, or a good ol’ fashioned headshot.

Kidnapping, on the other hand, is a little trickier. First, the vi...

Draft Writing Goals for 2014

Last year, I wrote around 250,000 words in manuscript drafts alone. I would really like to top that this year, but I haven’t hammmered away on the keyboard too much yet this year. But I’m getting back into my groove. I did finish the SUMMONED prequel novella, AXIOM.

So what’s on the agenda for this year? At the very least, I will be finishing the third book, SHATTERED, and then writing the fourth and what completes this series’ arc, SABOTAGED. I plan to write at least two more FLY INTO THE DAR...
