Switching Gears

Writing a series has some serious drawbacks. As much as I enjoy writing about Brady Tanner and his quest for the elusive Dr. Wesley Clovis, even I need to sharpen my writing blades on a new stone every now and then. Lately, and much because of AMC's The Walking Dead, that new stone has been my own dark take on zombies.

Tentatively titled FLEE, my latest work in progress involves US Air Marshall Elizabeth Downie and her unfortunate luck of drawing an overseas flight with a very disturbing cargo.

This is the second side-project I have started since the publication of Asylum Lake. The first is a somewhat completed novel about a serial killer's proclivity for cell phones. And although I have two more books in the Parting The Veil Series to churn out (Grave Undertakings in May 2011 and Parting The Veil in December 2011) I enjoy discovering new and creepy ways to torment my characters.

So as you dive into the mysteries of Asylum Lake and work your way through the Parting The Veil series, know that much darker tidings are on the horizon. You may never use your cell phone or fly on a plane again!
