New year, new releases!

New year, new releases! Sadly, the end of 2016 brought on the closure of Rocking Horse Publishing. On January 1st, two of my favorite action/adventure books, Murder Cover and Game Changer, lost a loyal publisher with the closure of the business.

Fortunately, I knew well ahead of time what was coming. After taking a little while to evaluate my plans, I've moved forward with newly edited and updated self-published editions of both books. While retaining all of their original charm, they have been recently re-released as second editions. Look for them on Amazon at a new, lower price! Better yet, they remain free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers.

It wouldn’t be a new year without other new books on the horizon. Next closest to reaching the market is Book 3 of The Savage Horde Series. Be on the lookout for Complex Three, which will ready for purchase by early February 2017.

Onward and Upward

Last year started out with a solid promise of new material from me in 2018, and a more than vague hope of hitting double digits in published works. So I released Creeper Falls fairly early in the year, then fell into a bit of a rut and took time off to do life. The usual, of course: work, family, summer, sports, back to school…. Anything but writing. So we’re already well into 2019, and I’m still sitting at 9 published books. Number 10 needs to be something special, but what? I haven’t written much new in a while, so I turned to my back catalog of previously finished gems. To two series I’ve been holding close to me like precious goods.

I’ve had an absolute outpouring of interest (relatively speaking) from literary agents in my modern Treasure Island remake of sorts. So much so, I figure I had better hang onto that series a little while longer and continue to perfect it. That leaves me with the Prepper Mountain series. I’ve also had several agents and publishers show interest in this one as well, but I can’t wait any longer to bring it to life. I can’t wait for you guys to read this one. Prepper Mountain has a storyline and characters that I absolutely adore. It’s honestly my favorite series I’ve written, though Northwoods and Savage Horde are deeply special to me as well.

It’s not April Fools today. Take this as my announcement of a new two-book series coming soon! First off with Prepper Mountain, then Shadow Warriors later this summer. A big release gives me the joy and spark I need to get back to writing, and I hope gives you one of the best books you’ve ever read. Onward and upward; a trip up Prepper Mountain.

Shadow Warriors - Sequel to Prepper Mountain

I'm happy to report that the promise was kept, and my eleventh book was released ahead of schedule. I hope you'll check out Shadow Warriors, the second book in The Bushwhackers Series.

I'm indebted to everyone who has given the series (and all my other unrelated books) a try in recent weeks. This release has by far been my most successful to date. It's enough to make me want to keep writing as quickly as I can.

A huge Thank You to everyone for all of your support!

To those of you who are Kindle Unlimited subscribers, you can read all 11 of my books on there for FREE!

Distilled Fiction - a blending of dystopian adventure and adult beverages

On the heels of my two bourbon thriller series, just when I thought I couldn't delve any deeper into the world of distilled spirits, a new concept came to mind. After having toured a number of Kentucky distilleries and then sitting around watching shows about backwoods moonshiners, an idea finally stuck. I could take my love for dystopian world collapse stories and blend it with some of that distilling knowledge to make a perfect adventure story cocktail.

Distilled Fiction. That's what I'm calling this new genre I've created. Take the fun of a Smokey and the Bandit and blend it with an oppressive government crackdown to yield a tall order of suspenseful action/adventure. I hope you will give it a try.
