Clifford and Claire, Scene 9

Image
     Hi, folks. Happy Halloween. This week’s blog post contains plugs for a couple of good horror-filled books and another installment of the background story of Clifford and Claire, the first omega werewolves. Let’s get down to it. Seasons Readings… …and for a good cause. I just purchased my copy of Death By Drive-In , this year’s CoffinHop offering. It’s a collection of short stories for the Halloween season put together by a group of indie horror writers. Proceeds from sales go to support LitWorld, a non-profit literacy organization. The ebook is only $3.99. Good, gruesome, philanthropic. I recommend it.                                                           ...

Checking In

Image
       I don’t get to visit my Mom as much as I’d like these days, so we keep up via email, the subject line of which is often “ Checking In .” It conveys, I don’t have anything specific to say, but I didn’t want too many days to go by without touching base. What usually follows is an eclectic mix of subjects that might range from I went to the store today to I heard so-and-so died. And that’s what you get from me this week, my readers. I have some special things planned for my blog over the next few months, but nothing’s ready yet. So, I’m just checking in . Here’s what I’ve been up to. I’m still writing… …plugging away at the final book in the Red Wolf trilogy. I had finished the first half, when my editing team pointed out some major flaws, so I’m having to re-write much of it. I don’t mind. The story will be that much better for it. But the book won’t get published until Spring, 2014, at least. Red Wolf Rising ( or it might be called ...

Featuring Kristy Berridge - Part 2

Image
      Hi, folks. For the second week in a row I’m delighted to be featuring paranormal fantasy/horror author, Kristy Berridge. Last week I reviewed the first two books in her Hunted series, and this week I have an interview with the fabulous Ms. Berridge, herself. Let’s get down to it!   Me: First of all, Kristy, I want to thank you for taking time for this interview. It really is great to have this opportunity. Kristy: My pleasure, John. Me: I warn you, I’ve got some personal questions, if you don’t mind, but I’d like to save them for later. Right now, since I reviewed the first two books in The Hunted series on last week’s blog, and since I just finished The Damned, the first thing I need to know is… when is the third book coming out and what’s planned for the series in the long run? Kristy: The Aligned, the third book in The Hunted Series will probably be released early to mid next year. There are five books in the series in tot...
