Quiet Earth - Dedicated To Genre Film And Everything Post Apocalyptic

I'm getting terrific support over at Quiet Earth for Vampire Apocalypse - they have given me a lot of press for the release of the second book, Descent into Chaos (yes, it's released!). Here's what they had to say about the first, A World Torn Asunder

"one of our favorite Vampire novels of the last couple of years....If you haven't read the first novel we highly recommend it to horror
and post-apocalypse fans alike. "

A little competition at VampireApocalypse.com....

If anyone here has read the first Vampire Apocalypse book, A World Torn Asunder, I'm running a little competition over at VampireApocalypse.com for a signed copy of the new VA book, Descent into Chaos, which is coming out next month.....

Authors - If you want to get word out about new releases etc....I'll add it to my "links"

I launched my new website during the summer and only now have I gotten around to setting up a "links" section.

What I have decided to do is set this up as a blog - http://horrorstuffandmore.blogspot.com linked from my website. If you want to add yourwebsite, just send the website title and url to me and I'll add it.

Trying to make this a bit more interesting so, if you like, you can send me a brief bio and if you have [i]any news on book releases etc[/i]. send me what you would like to say and I'll post it on the blog.

Cheers!

It's in the mail......

Well, it looks like I will have advance copies of the new Vampire Apocalypse book, Descent into Chaos, within the next few days. The book is not officially due out until October but my publishers have pulled out all the stops to make copies available for two conventions that I am guesting at: Gamesfest 3 in the UK (October 4th) and Octocon in Dublin (October 18th and 19th.

It goes without saying that I am really looking forward to having it in my hand.

Now though, the fun starts.

This is the time I sit and await the first reviews. I know on the first book that everytime I got a notification that a new review was in, with trepidation I would scan it quickly, holding my breath until I could see if the reviewer liked it...it's nail-biting stuff!
