Well, book 2 has been out for a while – here is the anticlimactic cover reveal.
It’s available on Amazon and in my opinion is more fun than the first. However, I know I am totally biased.
And – the third book is actually written – need to to some tweaking, and write out the epigraphs for it. Hoping to get it out this year!
Also, plan on writing more random things here to try and be more active?
So…this blog is for writerly things and assorted…
Which means, in no particular order:
Editing tips I learn ( Tip 1, check your use of ‘that’)
Cool LEGO stuff
Updates about Apocalypse By Midnight
Cool Star Wars stuff
Updates about Spellcast By Midnight
Firefly
Updates on Kryos
Perhaps a list of movies that are so bad I love them
Updates on Welcome to the Future
Music preferences
Updates on any anthologies I have stories in
I like cats.
Also – in case anyone did not know – I post regularly over here, a sort of meta blog written by one of the main characters from Dead by Midnight – short entries to prepare you for book 2…
A short excerpt from Apocalypse By Midnight –
Zach set the plates on the table changing his place so he sat between Riley and Lucy. After Elliot had informed him the killer was likely a vampire with red hair, he had a sneaking suspicion Riley’s recent arrival might not be a coincidence. His friend might not have red hair, but what about the guest he planned to bring?
“Zach, the bread won’t taste right without garlic.” Lucy held a baguette in the air, a pout decorating her face.
He put the napkins down and went to her. “It’ll taste fine, relax.”
She lifted her arms then let them fall to her sides. “But I can’t call it garlic bread. What do I say, ‘here’s some toast with butter, unless you have dairy issues, too?’ I’m offering them toast. Toast, Zach. Who does that?”
Zach ran his hands down her arms and smiled. “You don’t have to call it anything, just put it on the table. Seriously, don’t worry about this so much. Riley and I have been friends…we’ve known each other for a few years.”
Lucy’s eyes widened. “Don’t worry? Are you insane? You thought he was dead until yesterday. He’s a vampire. I have no idea what he can or cannot eat. I was going to make meat but then realized blood rare has a different meaning to him than me.” Lucy waved the baguette in the air. “Pasta is the only safe bet and even then I have to be careful lest I poison your friend with garlic. Then there’s his girlfriend. Is she a vampire too? A werewolf? A witch? One of those gluten free people? There’s too many variables!” Lucy’s face reddened.
Zach took the bread from her hand and tossed it onto the counter. “Breathe. In and out. Try and think of your happy place. This is dinner with a friend. Whatever you make will be fine.” He rubbed her back in a circular motion. “I promise everything will be okay.”
Lucy made a strange noise then turned. “Next time more warning. I mean it. You can’t just spring a vampire dinner guest on me. We’re not at that level yet.”
So – I have to say it is kind of neat to see Dead by Midnight on the International Thriller Writers page 🙂
