Rick Gualtieri loves to write adventure, mayhem, and snarky dialogue. His bestselling Tome of Bill series combines all of this into a world of supernatural danger with hard-hitting action and plenty of sharp-tongued geeky humor.

Rick lives alone in a dark, evil place called New Jersey with only his wife, three kids, and countless pets to both keep him company and constantly plot against him. When he's not busy monkey-clicking out words, he can typically be found jealously guarding his collection of vintage Transformers from all who would seek to defile them.

Defilers beware!

Sneak Peek - DEVIANT DARK DRYADS (False Icons - 4)

 

Previously onthe adventures of Jessie Flores, I got blown up and met my mom.

Okay, it wasn’t quite as simple asthat. I returned to the world of the living following five long years spent inHades – while the world assumed I was dead and moved on.

At least I’m guessing they werelong years, mostly because it sounds dramatic, but the truth is I had no idea.I can’t remember a single moment of it

Have you tried Draculas by JA Konrath, Blake Crouch and assorted others?

message 2: by James

James Hey Mr. Rick, you're a vampire fan. What is a good scary vamp book. I read Salem's Lot (best so far), currently reading Zero Sight (not really about vamps). Every book I sampled so far is a love novel or tween vampire book. I'm looking for something that will make me jump when the house creaks at night. Any suggestions, good horror book?


message 1: by Rick

Rick Gualtieri No prob! Thanks for sending it. :)
