My fantasy novel, Dawn, is out now on ebook from Crossroads Press Mystique Ink imprint. Print version will be available within the next few days. Reblog to be entered in a drawing for a free signed copy.

A Legacy of Violence

When Stiva and her twin brother, Chandris, inherit the troubled throne of Aris, the populace grows uneasy, and with good reason. The twins, estranged for years after a bitter feud, are very different. Stiva takes after their mother, a Reonih bard from the primal mushroom forests of distant Shadri, while Chandris favors their father, a hardened warlord, commander of the mighty Selin army.

 

A King’s Thirst For Power

Faced with enemies on all sides and the rising threat of war, the twins vow to put their discord behind them and unite to protect Aris. But Chandris wants more than survival; he dreams of empire, and is determined to lift Aris out of its post-technological dark age. He will stop at nothing to achieve that goal, and has no qualms about reawakening an ancient, deadly technology to do it.

 

A Land Divided

By delving into forbidden science and forgotten dark arts, Chandris breaks a longstanding treaty with the Reonih and incites civil war. He also unleashes an ancient, unearthly threat; the bloodthirsty, elemental Zhur. As alliances fracture and warfare threatens to engulf the land, Stiva must fight not only to save the Reonih from her brother’s lust for power, but protect herself from the Zhurlord that is haunting her.

The Apocalypse is here …

anthologies, bleed the weak, Endless apocalypse, fiction, flame tree, horror, pretty things, writing

Stories of the end of civilized life have always fascinated us, from the mythological world endings, Armageddon to Ragnorok, to the flood stories of across the Ancient world. They make us wonder what we would do if all around us came to an end: no transport, no fuel, no communications: a retreat into the desperation, the onslaught of disease, how would we survive? This is the source of zombie literature and provides the inspiration for this fabulous mix of horror and adventure, of classic and brand new writing in the successful series of Gothic Fantasy titles from Flame Tree. Features my story Bleed the Weak.

One thing that has really got me excited this week is the fact that Abode was reviewed–and recommended–in the Library Journal. I’m so honored to be included in this! Below are screenshots of the actual magazine. Stoker Award winner Tom Deady, author of Haven, also got recommended.

These were part of a Halloween series about horror. They also coincided with blog posts from several Bloodshot Books authors about the genre. You can also read my article online at Becky Spratford’s blog here. Check the others out too!

Also, Abode (e-book) is $0.99 cents this week … click here for the link.

New England has a rich, dark history with the supernatural. From this region many writers of dark fiction have fueled their stories.

The Dreamscene Experiment #1

art, horror, Inspiration, poetry, The Dreamscene Experiment, writing

I’m going to start a little experiment here, fueled by my pinterest addiction love of photography. I’ll post a photo and a quote or poetry snippet. Poets out there are welcome to brainstorm a line if something catches your fancy. I do want to be respectful of copyrights so I will not post anything that has a watermark/credit.

Here’s the first one – starting out with something a bit dark

Something pale and hungry lumbers forth in the darkness

Image

 

Also of note – have just stumbled over horrortree, a horror market listing. Seems like a good resource, so I’m passing it on.

 

Poetry snippet: moi

Photo of pale dead thing repinned from Pinterest – source unknown. If this is your pale dead thing, please feed it a cheeseburger or something, and please comment if you want it removed from the site.
