Update on Jungle Jitters and other news

I have been working very hard on Jungle Jitters and hope to have it out sometime this summer. I am probably halfway done with the first draft, although because I don't write my books in order and keep different plot lines in different documents it is hard to say for sure. What started as a short Tales to Make You Vomit story spiraled out of control as my imagination took over, and will probably wind up being my most ambitious novel to date. This is a book that spans a period of almost one hundred years and features a Soviet mad scientist, entitled YouTube celebrities, and a bizarre cult that lives in a remote jungle in the Congo. I can't wait to share it with all of you! 

My books have been getting a lot of attention lately and I want to share a few items with you all. First, I was named Godless Emerging Author of the Week!!! Godless is an awesome online bookstore that features extreme horror, splatterpunk, bizarro, and just plain unclassifiable titles. The owner of the site, Drew Stepek, puts out weekly YouTube videos where he talks about all the featured books and authors that week, and shares inspiring words of wisdom. Please watch this week's video. It will tell you what Godless is all about and I think Drew does a good job talking about my books. 

I also got a swell review of She Was Asking for It on a heavy metal blog called Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life. Please check out the review. And while you're on the site, look at some of the album reviews. I had no idea that there was so much going on in heavy metal right now. I listened to a bunch of songs from links in the articles and a lot of it is fantastic. I wouldn't be surprised if heavy metal comes back in a big way sometime soon. 

My biggest piece of news is that Five Maidens on the Pentagram is now wide. That means that not only can you buy it on Amazon, but you can also get it on Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Godless, Google Play, Scribd, and Smashwords. 

If you haven't read this one yet, it's my funniest and best-reviewed book. I strongly suggest you check it out. 

If you are in the market for a paperback of any of my books, and you live in the United States, I suggest you try the Barnes & Noble editions. These are the same as the Amazon editions except they are published by Barnes & Noble Press instead of Kindle Direct Publishing. But, the reason it's convenient is you can get your books shipped to your nearest Barnes & Noble store and pick them up there. This means you don't have to worry about your books getting damaged in the mail. You guarantee you get them in store-bought condition. Also, I have a lot of nostalgia for Barnes & Noble in the 90's and it would be cool for me to know people are getting my paperbacks there.

Thank you so much everybody! I will write you all again next month when I should have more exciting news about Jungle Jitters.
