May News: The Last Stand from just 99c, Vampire Apocalypse 4 update and more...

Well, after a winter of seven months long, we finally had some warmer weather and even some sunshine over the May bank holiday weekend over here in Ireland!  Also, this was my first free weekend since the end of October last year; yep, I finally got the fourth Vampire Apocalypse book finished and delivered to my publishers :-)  Now we wait and see if they like it.  There will be a fifth book (at least) in the series and the story line is taking shape nicely...  New covers have been produced for books one to three and they are terrific and I can't wait for them to come on stream and to share them.  I'll keep you posted.....

Wearing my hat as Contributing Editor for The Big Thrill, the monthly ezine from The International Thriller Writers Association, I had the pleasure of reading the latest offering authors Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip who collectively write thrillers under the name Michael Stanley.  It is called Deadly Harvest and is set in South Africa.
