edit data

A.S. Thompson is a southern California native with a wild card personality! He has worked in a variety of fields, lived in different area codes and in recent years added to the literary world.

His first book "The Longest Road" was an adaptation from a screen play written during college that has since seen two sequels. Arguably coming into his own in "The Change," Thompson's growing style has taken survival horror to new heights. "The Other Side," the daring finale of the series, expands on previous themes of unpredictability and uncertainty, culminating in a grand conclusion of epic fashion.

While his debut novels are post-apocalyptic/zombie by nature, critics and fans have praised the series and described it as a complex, beautiful tragedy ...more

It was the moment she realized she had been deceived, that the ancient spell had worked, the doorway into Layreth, the Other Dimension, the one feared by both angels and demons alike, had opened, causing her body to be sucked into the void, trapping her with the most evil and wicked spirits.(less)

Alright, book three...where is it??! I know I know, I've been promising/hoping to have it out sooner than later, but life has had other plans. BUT Michael is hard at work on the art side of things, and I have a few things to finalize but I am hoping (really hoping) to send the final draft off to the publisher this upcoming week! Stay tuned, I'll probably send out a final blog/email/FB notification when I do.

Thanks so much for the interest! I am actually a few episodes behind on The Walking Dead, so I'm looking forward to catching up...but that also promotes a problem because I won't know what to do/read/watch when it's on hiatus....

Stay tuned!(less)

Fantasyland!

Hello everyone!

Guess what??? I have some fun news :)

I am wrapping up another short story.

It's called "Fantasyland"

I'll put the blurb below, but as quick head's up it was story that came from a wild dream I had. It's about as short as Turbulence and reads just as quick. I will also be donating the royalties to the same Charity Water campaign, so if you can spare the $1 and are down for a fun somet Read more of this blog post »
