I'd like to share the news that late last week my agent Andy Zack and I reached an agreement with Audible Studios for four of my titles.

Audible will be producing, publishing and distributing the audiobook versions of Tesser: A Dragon Among Us as well as the entirety of The Kinless Trilogy; The Wrath of the Orphans, The Motive for Massacre, and The Echoes of Sin.

This is a wonderful opportunity for me and I'm excited to bring my dark fantasy and urban fantasy titles to the audio market backed by one of the biggest audiobook companies in the world. The audiobook success of the Adrian's Undead Diary series now has some competition.

As Audible works towards firm release dates I'll share everything I can.

Thank you to my agent, my fans, the people behind the scenes at Audible, my lovely fiance for all her support and to my friends who have pushed me all these years to share my imagination with the world.

As narrated by the gifted James Foster... I present to you the Adrian's Undead Diary novella, London Burns.

London Burns: Tales from the world of Adrian's Undead Diary volume two

Just about an hour and a half, and just about $5 at launch, it also comes with the Elmoryn short story 'Roots Grown Deep' just in time for the release of The Kinless Trilogy, narrated by Kevin T. Collins of Lone Survivor, and The Vampire Diaries fame.

Enjoy London Burns. It's a small taste of what the future of my zombie world looks like.

Dark Recollections

Tesser: A Dragon Among Us

The Wrath of the Orphans

Enjoy, and Happy Halloween!

It’s the season of love, and good reason for Hallmark to sell more cards. I’m not sure Saint Valentine would get behind a company mass producing kitschy cards for people, but hey, we all could use a reason to be more romantic.

Love is the fuel that fills our emotional gas tanks.

Speaking of filled gas tanks, I know a lot of you need books to read, and while I’m in the post production of two novels and a short story collection plus writing another, I figured February would be a good time to give you all some free eBooks.

Starting February 13th and running through February 17th, I’m giving away multiple eBooks through Amazon’s US storefront. Feel free to pick them up for free yourself, gift them to friends, family and strangers, or just let folks know about what’s free. Remember too, if you have the eBook, the Audible version is vastly discounted, so in a way, this is like a sale on the audio versions too.

Below are links to the free titles.

Adrian’s Undead Diary #1: Dark Recollections https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G76PKTC

The Kinless Trilogy #1: The Wrath of the Orphans https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F8YH6QE

The Reemergence #1: Tesser: A Dragon Among Ushttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JP5CNN8

At Least He's Not On Fire: A Tour of the Things That Escape My Head my collection of the above three book’s opening chapters, plus a few short stories. This one is always free, but hey, when you’re telling people about free stuff, tell them about all of it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JSGEKIK

and Alan MacRaffen’s Elmoryn novella: The Doom of Eldrid Cole https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SIGBRIC

I hope some folks can grab a few of these for free to try out something new.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Have you been waiting for 15 new short stories written by me?

Did you even know you waiting for them? Probabaly not, we're all busy.

That being said... I've just released Resurrections; A Short Story Collection, and it's got those 15 new short stories in it.

Resurrections; A Short Story Collection

There are new AUD stories, new Elmoryn stories, new Reemergence stories, new horror, science fiction and fantasy and best of all, a bunch of behind the scenes stuff about my writing which I think you'll all get a kick out of.

Here are some links.

Do you live in Ohio? Or Kentucky? Or Indiana?

Would you like to attend a wonderful convention in scenic Cincinnati, and perhaps get some fresh books/discs/shirts/merch from yours truly?

Because from March 17th through the 19th, I’ll be at HorrorHound Weekend, signing and selling, shooting the poo.

In attendance with me will be Jeffrey Clare of All Things Zombie, as well as Shannon Walters, my wife, and our little spud Willow (periodically, she’s 11 months old, she has an agenda of her own).

We’ll have like, everything we’ve ever put out, and you are welcome to bring your existing stuff in so we can sign it for you.

The guest list looks fun. A bunch of The Walking Dead cast will be there, as well as a Monster Squad reunion, and Jason (Kane Hodder) plus a ton more.

Here’s a link to the event: http://www.horrorhoundweekend.com/sho...

And if you want tickets: http://www.horrorhoundweekend.com/sho...

As usual, I cannot bring unlimited quantities of product with me. As it turns out, books are heavy and big, and I’ve got a large backlog. I am only bringing 4 complete sets of AUD, so if you want one, speak up and I’ll set one aside for you.

I’m excited to hang out with folks next week!

Hey there.

I've got numerous titles out there on Audible, doing well, but one of my series has struggled to pick up reviews, despite selling fairly well.

The Kinless Trilogy is a dark fantasy series set in the world of Elmoryn. It's published by Audible Studios, and to-date, has a small number of pretty terrific reviews and is in development to be made into a tabletop role playing game.

I have about ten free copies of Wrath I can gift via Audible, and if you're interested in writing a review when you're finished, I'd be happy to send one to you.

Please MESSAGE me your audible email and I'll gift you the book.

Further, once you've written me the review and shot me a link to it to confirm you're the best kind of person in the world, I'll happily send you a free copy of book two in the series, The Motive for Massacre

Same offer stands for book three when you review book two.

Offer extends to the first ten folks who message me.

What do you do when everything you've ever known is ripped away from you, leaving nothing but ashes and charred memories behind? You get angry. So very angry.

Malwynn and his twin sister, Umaryn, live in a small town in Northern Varrland. In idyllic New Picknell nearly nothing happens, and when their day-to-day routine is interrupted by a skirmish between an invading patrol of the dead from The Amaranth Empire and a defending force from Varrland, their world begins to come undone. With international war looming on the horizon, New Picknell becomes the center of quite unwanted attention, and the twins have their world shattered. With nothing left to lose, they set out on a mission of vengeance that will take them to places they'd never dreamed of visiting, discovering mystical powers in The Way that will change their lives forever, and revealing dark knowledge best left undiscovered.

The Wrath of the Orphans and the world of Elmoryn are filled with elements of dark horror, steampunk, and sorcery. It is an ancient world filled with heroes of immeasurable valor and ancient secrets tearing at the past to be known again. Written by the author of the Internet phenomenon Adrian's Undead Diary, The Wrath of the Orphans is the first book in a sprawling dark fantasy epic trilogy that is sure to thrill, charm, and disturb.
