Hi OutCastes, My semi-monthly update on what’s going on in my world. First off, book 3 of The Chronicles of William Wilde releases tomorrow, August 7th, 2018. Here’s a short blurb: William must summon his courage and return to Sinskrill. Great friends remain trapped on that terrible island, and he’s vowed to see them freed….
No, I wasn’t there. Maybe one day. Anyhow, here are the trailers I liked, even if I may never see the movies themselves: 1) Godzilla: King of the Monsters I can’t wait to see this one. 2) Glass Now, I have to go back and watch Split first. 3) Fantastic Beasts: the Crimes of Grindelald…
It’s launch day! Get your copy of William Wilde and the Stolen Life at your local Amazon and Audible stores! Having survived the deadly Kohl Obsidian, William Wilde had hoped his life would settle down; that he’d finish his senior year of high school and have no further adventures. But life isn’t so simple for a potential magus, especially…
My first real newsletter! I’m trying something new, and I can’t promise I’ll keep doing it. Here goes . . . WHAT’S NEW: The most important thing is this: William Wilde and the Stolen Life, Book 2 of The Chronicles of William Wilde releases next week, on June 18th and preorders for the Kindle edition are…
Me and a bunch of other authors, like Michael J. Sullivan, Phil Tucker, David Estes, David Benem, K.S. Villoso, Steve Kelliher, Quenby Olson, and . . . well, you get the drift. We’ve got a giant MayDaySale on many of our books that we’re running from May 1st through May 5th. It’s all fantasy, and…
I finished watching Lost in Space, the reboot on Netflix. Conflicted on this one. I liked the first six episodes, but then the supposed best and brightest of Earth, especially the Robinson family, made progressively stupider decisions over and over again, and I enjoyed it less and less. Wish I could have liked it more.
When I was kid back in the 80s, I loved a book called Liege-Killer by Christopher Hinz. It’s set two hundred years after a nuclear apocalypse that forces humanity to flee earth, but everyone still remembers the most cause of that catastrophe—the Paratwa, genetically modified killers who occupy two bodies controlled by one vicious mind….
Here’s a recent radio interview I did about my writing career. It sounds weird calling it a writing career, but I talk about The Castes and the OutCastes and my newest book, William Wilde and the Necrosed. It’s a YA fantasy that’s kind of a mix between Stranger Things and Percy Jackson. Anyway, here’s the interview.
