GOD WALKS THE DARK HILLS SERIES (Thoughts & Updates)
So many people have personally written and related to me how they love the deeply intricate ultra-violent Western Horror series "GOD WALKS THE DARK HILLS." Sincerely, it's all very meaningful to me to hear. As I've afore stated, the six-total-novel-series (whether published in singular or dual novel form) makes up the central canon of my Western Horror world. Duly, the majority of my current & upcoming anthologies, collections, novellas, and such easter eggs have and will continue to be dropped.
Overthinking most everything, in my mind, I aspire to write/publish 2 stand-alone & thus far only subtly hinted novellas in 2023. Moreover, I hope to begin and finish writing both: "The Hills of Home: God Walks The Dark Hills Book V" & "Wrath of The Lamb: God Walks The Dark Hills Book VI." It is my current contention that I'll end the series as it began - with a dual novel (i.e. both novels - Book V&VI inside one physical book). Ergo my presumed/known bibliography by the end of 2023 will be:
NOVELS: (2020-2023)
• God Walks The Dark Hills Book I
• Here Among The Shadows in a Weary Land: God Walks The Dark Hills Book II
• Ain't No Grave: God Walks The Dark Hills Book III
• The Brightness of His Coming: God Walks The Dark Hills Book IV
• The Hills of Home: God Walks The Dark Hills Book V
• Wrath of the Lamb: God Walks The Dark Hills Book VI
COLLECTIONS: (2020-2023)
• Look Away Dixieland
ANTHOLOGIES: (2020-2023)
• A Book Without a Name
• TBD
NOVELETTES: (2020-2023)
Abraham Lincoln Burns in Hell Issue #1
Abraham Lincoln Burns in Hell Issue #2
Abraham Lincoln Burns in Hell Issue #3
NOVELLAS: (2020-2023)
• The Confederado: A Western Horror Tale of MesoAmerican Gore
• TBA
• TBA
Beyond these things, any further literary works would likely be heavily influenced by both sales & written reviews. My readers matter to me; thusly I'd leave it to all of them to guide me in the direction that they wanted. If my collection of short stories blow up, then there'll be more. The same math works with novels, novellas, anthologies, and so forth. Additionally, the same could be said of stories featuring certain characters and/or properties that specifically belong to me. I've considered writing expansive books about:
FOLLOWING NOTABLE HEROES:
• The Rape of Glenda Smith
• The Breaking of Conner Smith
• The secret life of Rial Stuart
FOLLOWING NOTABLE VILLAINS:
• A story with Peter Grimm as the protagonist
• The Early Life & Corrupting Seth Nettles
• The Early Life & Corrupting of Clay Corpse
FOLLOWING OTHERS:
• The Early Life of Julian Smith
• "The Devil & Mister Lincoln"
• The People On The Other Side of The Mirror
• The Lowlights
• The Great god Pan
• Lithuanian Werebears
• Men As Trees
...If nothing else, I'm quite approachable. When I look at media outlets who are leaving others in the dust, I tend to look at them carefully and determine what exactly it is that I think they're doing right. To me as a reader/viewer/fan interactivity matters. When you watch a movie like Jaws or Jurassic Park, you come back hoping to experience the same thing as when you saw the first one. Sadly, producing pure garbage cash-grabs tends to mess it all up. I'm not a big-name author or studio. Thereby, I can't afford to put out substandard garbage that my readership doesn't want. Moreover, I do value my readers & want to give you more creative content that makes sense.
My determination is to be consistent. It's also to have things as advertised. I'll tell you what you're getting upfront so you'll know before you sink your teeth into it. It's likely that neither one of us likes surprises. Beyond the God Walks The Dark Hills series, "Abraham Lincoln Burns in Hell", future Anthologies, and Collections are all a matter of demand. All of these principles bleed over into other forms of media, merchandising, and so forth.
