Never passing up the opportunity to speak about himself in the third person, M.D. Presley is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is. Born and raised in Texas, he spent several years on the East Coast and now waits for the West Coast to shake him loose. His favorite words include defenestrate, callipygian, and Algonquin. The fact that monosyllabic is such a long word keeps him up at night.

And no, he's not related to Elvis. Thanks for asking though.

I'm writing them (there's also a book 3.5) concurrently, so there shouldn't be nearly as long of a wait between 3-3.5-4 as there were between the first two. (less)

Their's is a love that refuses to be denied, despite their crimes against the law of man and nature. Theirs is a love that helped doom seven kingdoms and kill thousands. They know what they do is wrong, yet they do not care, and for that they will always have a special place in my cold, flinty heart. (less)

Electric City Switches Is LIVE!

It’s been my tradition for nigh on ten years now to have a drink and reflect on my newest book the night before it comes out. So, I sit here tonight with a daiquiri, which might be one of the hardest words to type… speaking after my two attempts at writing it now (and I’m a bit of an expert on the subject). And I almost didn’t get to drink tonight due to a cold, which seems to be the theme of this Read more of this blog post »

“There were the usual three all humans were born with, one in the center of the chest representing the Body, the second in the middle of the forehead for the Mind, and the third at the crown of the head signifying the Soul. But in that moment of clarity, Marta could feel a fourth Breath nestled deep in her chest next to the Body. Were she not so angry, she might have been surprised to find it, to feel it thrumming with its own frequency. It had a resonance, a musical identity all its own that only she could hear.”
M.D. Presley, The Woven Ring

“The pain was blinding, the agony all-encompassing as the smoke of her seared flesh scorched her nostrils. But despite the pain and her horror, Marta's mouth watered all the more at the scent. She smelled like meat.

She smelled delicious.”
M.D. Presley
