Announcing open submissions for 'Only the Light We Make' Volume Three of Tales from the world of Adrian's Undead Diary.
With a foreword written by Mark Tufo and similar in theme to volume one, OTLWM will be composed of short stories written by fans and authors from the genre, as well as a handful of stories written by myself to further the world of Adrian Ring.

I've already gotten several exclusive submissions from some of the post-apocalyptic genre's finest authors, and there are many more to come. The always talented James Foster has agreed to narrate the book as well.

This will be a star-studded anthology if there ever was one.

Here's your chance to nab some fame, and some cash. OTLWM offers print copies, pdf and mobi versions, as well as audio copies usable via Audible. It is also a paying anthology @2.5 cents per word.

If you have a post-apocalyptic story you'd like to submit, you may message me on Facebook, or here on Goodreads for the email address to do so. Please set your stories in the world of Adrian Ring, following the rules set forth in the books. You may use any of the canonical characters, but if your story alters the timeline of the core tale, or its future, your story will be passed on. Stories should be between 500 and 7,500 words.

Manuscripts should be formatted in Times New Roman or Calibri, 12pt font and should be in .docx format. Do not use underlines to emphasize text. Stories are due to me for evaluation by September 30th, 2016.

Planned publication for Only the Light We Make is early December, and pre-orders will go up sometime in September.

And then, The Last Resort.

I know, all I do is post about books in this blog.

I'm sorry.

Last one until the next one, I promise.

Only the Light We Make's print version is now live over on the Amazon, and has come to life right here on Goodreads.

The pre-order is up as well for the eBook, which releases on Friday.

Snag it now so you can participate in the reader launch party Tuesday.

Only the Light We Make

Only the Light We Make is finally here.

On the heels of Unhappy Endings, and London Burns, the third book in the Tales from the world of Adrian's Undead Diary series is here.

I wrote three stories for this book, and they're pretty terrific. Going Nowhere explores the origins of a loved and laughed at character from AUD. I had a blast writing this one. The Torch is all about Gilbert, and Only a Few Miles to Home is an Adrian story, one in which he fights a completely different monster, and not for the first time in his life.

Love these stories.

I also love the stories the submitted authors wrote. James Dean, James Pyne, Shannon Walters, Jay Wilburn, Brian Parker, Josh Green, Phillip Tomasso, J.D. Demers, C.A. Hoaks, Christopher MacDonald, Jeremy Flagg, Dave Lund, and Adam Carpenter all killed it. Each and every story is a wonderful addition to the AUD world, and for the first time, other authors played with Adrian himself, and did a terrific job of it.

Oh, and some guy named Mark Tufo wrote the foreword.

If you're jonesing for more Adrian and company, and want to make sure you're all caught up for The Last Resort (Adrian's new book one coming out next year) please catch up on the Tales series.

Happy Thanksgiving from Leah, Willow and I.

Narrated by James Anderson Foster, this collection of my own short stories spans almost 20 years of work.

From game developer days to features set in Adrian's Undead Diary, Elmoryn and The Reemergence the stories of Resurrections cover the gamut of all things I like to write.

Please check the book out on Audible, Amazon or iTunes, and leave a review to let me know what you think.

I have a... frankly awesome story in an anthology that releases today.

Science fiction crossed with dark fantasy, it's called The Merits of the Case.
