NEW RELEASE!

2015 is a busy year for me and will see the release of 5 books (!) It all starts now with the release of the full omnibus edition of The Year I Died 7 Times from Beat To A Pulp press. (ok, this one is a bit of a cheat since it came out in installments over the course of last year)

It's in both paperback and ebook.

It's great to have this one all in one volume with a fancy new cover I quite like. Who Read more of this blog post »

Eric Beetner and 2 other people liked Jim Thomsen's review of The Last Few Miles of Road: A Carter McCoy Novel: "Beetner’s best yet As lean and fast-paced as his others, but with deeper characterizations and a relaxed, lived-in feel that doesn’t depend on a constant surge of adrenaline. This self-described “pulp hack” is leveling up: if he was a Day Keene or a H" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Eric Beetner (?)

“Will was crying now. He didn’t feel like a grown man. He’d never felt like a criminal. He wanted to be back in science class, paying attention, writing it all down. Studying for tests, getting scholarships. He was scared straight. A little too late.”
― Eric Beetner, A Bouquet of Bullets

“Walter had planned to drive to New York where he knew a fence and then to Canada to have the operation the doctor said he needed.”
