Things we saw in red. . .

So. Remember how I said I was working on a revised edition of Things We Saw at Midnight a few days ago? And then again earlier today? And remember how I said it was killing me? Well it isn't anymore BECAUSE IT'S DONE AND I PUBLISHED IT!

It might take a while to go through on Amazon, and I'm not updating the Wattpad edition until tomorrow, it's ready to read immediately on Smashwords for free: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/584827

And it's also got a new cover:

Like it? This is going to be the cover for the paperback edition, too, which is coming soon! I'll be having a few giveaways of it eventually, too, so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime you can grab a free copy for your ereader and enjoy the scares!

Revise and Revise and Revise and Revise

2016 is about editing, clearly. Because it seems like that's all I do now: wake up, coffee, edit book, coffee, edit book, coffee, edit book, sleep, coffee, edit book.

Because I'm actually editing two books. Okay, okay, I know, I said one at a time the other day. And I'm still sticking to that rule, and that book is still Sosas, and everything is on track. But I'm also doing a bit of editing on Things We Saw at Midnight every day for this revised edition, which is actually moving along.

I was right about it being mostly copy-editing, but one fun thing I did is get a new cover. It's not too different. In fact, it uses the same stock image and font - but it's definitely my favourite over the old design.

I won't be sharing until I've already hit published on the revised book (which should be sometime within the next five days, I'll post about it when it's done!) but I can't wait to share it, because it's like candy for the eyes.

I'm going to stop blogging right now and get back to writing, but since I said I would blog more this year I'm trying to, you know, do that.

I'll leave you this time with a song AND some male model eye-candy!

So there you have it. As always, I'm more active on Tumblr at In The Violet Hour, as in dozens of posts a day active, so follow me there for more frequent updates! (And a lot of pictures of half-naked male models.)

Surprise!

I put out a new book today - and it's free! The new book is called Things We Saw At Midnight, and it's a collection of thirteen short horror stories and vignettes set in a fictional Nevada town called Midnight City. It's got griffins and doppelgängers, phantoms and visions. It's even got a personification of nostalgia.

In Midnight City, things are a bit odd. Old Lady Ellen knows when you're going to die, the man with a swarm of bees where his face should be always sits in the same booth at Winston's Pies, and the local gas station attendant is a leftover deity from another dimension. But in the dark heart of this desert city, fear lives like a sentient creature, waiting to claim anyone it can. Will you survive?

Things We Saw At Midnight is diverse, humorous, and hopefully pretty damn scary. I wrote this book as an early Halloween gift to all my readers and online friends, as a way to say thank you for embracing me and my work and encouraging me to keep creating.
