I’ve been neglecting this place. I’d say I was sorry, but I’ve got too many good things in the works.

My last post was depressing, because everything sucked giant hairy balls in January and February, but this post is all about the good shit. First, I’ve been writing a weekly column for Underground Book Reviews called “Miller Time,” which has eaten into my blogging time. I promise, I’ll carve out a little slot for the Edge and get back to rambling nonsense for anyone who likes that stuff. And second…

I’ve got two books ready to publish this month. Sex, Peanuts, Fangs, and Fur: A Practical Guide for Invading Canada is just moments away from publication. Literally. Well, it could be longer. I just have to bite the bullet and click “publish.” I’ll announce when I’ll do the launch party and all that fun stuff as soon as I figure it out myself. The second book, Sweet Revenge, is a collection of short stories I cobbled together for your entertainment. It will be ready for publication within a week or so.

And in April, watch for my gods series to return. I’ll re-release Lucky myself (with a brand spanking new cover), and with it I’ll release the second book, Lascivious. The third book, Nefarious, is scheduled for early summer.

Also, I’m working with my fellow DeadPixel Publications authors to publish an anthology sometime in the near future. This one is good. Really good.

Yes, I’m a little excited.

For now, I leave you with a little bit of promotional shit for SPFF and Sweet Revenge.

A Practical Guide for Invading Canada:

Step One: Have a Plan

President Robert Armstrong needs an unstoppable army so he can take over the world. He obtains three monstrous viruses and sets his plan in motion.

Step Two: Testing, 1, 2, 3…

Patients Zero, otherwise known as Chris, Steve and Rafe, sign up for experimental treatments they believe will cure their afflictions. Instead, the President turns them into monsters. But the lab is not the big wide world and the President must know if the soldiers truly are unstoppable. What better place to test Armageddon than Canada?

Step Three: Infect

As armed forces go, a gentle, sleepy zombie, a werewolf with an out of control libido, and a vampire with a peanut allergy are not that impressive. Until they combine their viruses and the monsterpidemy blossoms and spreads.

Step Four…

 

If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? — William Shakespeare

As humans, we’re vulnerable to wounds that penetrate beneath the flesh and beyond the possibility of forgiveness. These injuries aren’t simply forgotten because we decide to be virtuous and take the high road. They fester and bleed. They blossom and thrive. And eventually, a soul is left with one option: Revenge.

Sweet Revenge contains sixteen short tales, which illustrate that while forgiveness can be a gift, vengeance is sometimes a far more satisfying reward.

And that’s why I’ve been neglecting all of you. From now on, I’ll try to numb your brains with my musings at least once a week. Stay tuned. *winky face*
