GLEEFULLY MACABRE

A new book already? Didn’t Nightmare in the Backyard just come out?

The day is finally here! (Or, if you haven’t even heard of this book before, you can drop the “finally.”) It’s Nightmare in the Backyard, the second book in my Eek! series of middle-grade horror novels.

Get it wherever you buy books. It’s even at Target!

It’s here! It Watches in the Dark is now available! You can get it from the online retailer of your choice in paperback, hardcover, digital, and audiobook editions. It’s also available in bookstores, libraries, and even Walmart. (I think Target. I know that Nightmare in the Backyard will be in Target. I’ll visit my local store and report back.)

I’ve embraced self-publishing for my adult novels and I love it. No plans to change. That said, you’re not going to find Creep Out at your neighborhood bookstore unless your neighborhood bookstore is seriously cool. So it’s fun to switch my promo tactics to trying to get readers to leave their homes. (Not that you have to leave your home. You can still get it from Amazon.)

Anyway, there’ll be at least three books in the Eek! series (the third one is due at the end of April…oh, crap, it’s already April!!!) but whether there is a fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, or eleventh depends on how the first one does. You needed to get something at Walmart anyway, right?

Wow, it’s been about ten months since I’ve updated the blog section of my website. (The website itself is more or less up to date, and of course my newsletter is still a thing.) I’m not going to start bombarding you with daily posts, but I am going to try to post on a regular basis.

NEW BOOK: My latest novel, Creep Out, is now available! It’s my contribution to the “evil ventriloquist dummy” genre. Available in Kindle and paperback editions. Audio coming soon. Hardcover limited edition coming less soon.

CHEAP BOOK: The Kindle edition of my novel Veiled is currently on sale for 99 cents! Get it HERE.

UPCOMING BOOK: It Watches in the Dark will be available at a bookstore near you on April 2nd. This is the first book in my Eek! series of horror novels for middle graders, though I think anybody can enjoy the dark-humored tale of a giant living scarecrow.

This Thursday (March 28th) I’ll be on the Panic Room Radio Show, along with Bridgett Nelson! Listen LIVE at 10:30 PM EST! Note that they play a full song before the episode begins, so if it’s 10:32 PM and you’re all like “This can’t be right!” rest assured you’re in the right place! https://www.blogtalkradio.com/thenewpanicroom/2024/03/29/the-new-panic-room-episode-339

Whoa! My new book is out! Yes, kids, Veiled is now available in Kindle and paperback editions! (Kids–don’t read Veiled.)

Get it HERE!

Another issue of my newsletter goes out tomorrow! Contains an “interview” with Bridgett Nelson (y’know, the usual antagonistic ones that are completely made up) and the brand-new story “A Little Too Funny.” Subscribe here: http://eepurl.com/dewPc9

Oh, also, my new novel Veiled comes out tomorrow.

Here’s Lynne Hansen‘s cover to my latest novel, Veiled! Watch for this psychological thriller very, very soon!!!

Hey, I finished a new novel this weekend! It’s a psychological thriller called Veiled, and it’ll be out sometime this summer.

In the meantime, the latest issue of my newsletter went out today. If you’re not a subscriber, you can check it out HERE.
