Hi all. DEATHFLASH, a new novel is up for preorder at Horror-Mall.com.
It's a signed/limited hardback, art by Steve Gilberts, and sells for $55.
It's got some hairy chapters in there about the growing problem of heroin
addiction. So this is a public service announcement.
Seriously, I Appreciate the support.

Thanks, Bob! It's a sequel of sorts to the other Green Hornet and Cato book, SHADOW OF THE DRK ANGEL. If you liked that one (I think you did), then you will like DF, which is actually more of a mystery than SHADOW. But I suppose some of the gritty stuff about heroin
addiction in San Francisco (an epidemic in the country at large) maybe be some unpleasant reality for some readers--so a caveat.

Not giving anything away, but I felt the 'tours' within the novel were brutal in the reality of addiction. I joke that I'm addicted to books, but the passion for books goes nowhere towards the addiction and drive for drugs.
And these scenes in the book help to add real depth to the chain of events. Double thumbs up from me.

Ah, Leigh, that's good to hear (as he let his held breath trickle out past his lips). I hope others have that positive of a response.
I can't help throwing out caveats on books that cost $55. The heroin chapters are not like anything you'll hear at a conference of medical treatment people, that's for sure. So they may be of interest just in themselves.

Currently taking a break from the novel I've been working on.
Almost finished with a novella, RUSTING CHICKENS, which has
been committed orally to a publisher. It’s actually about...TBI,
Force Recon, and some other stuff perhaps more familiar from
the news.

Gene - I am really looking forward to another heavy read from you. Leigh just can't be wrong either  |

Thanks, H. And I agree, Leigh usually has pretty good taste...but then all my relatives do.

RUSTING CHICKENS is finished. Came in at true novella length, about 17.5 K words.
The story shifts between two interlinked tales, from the present when he comes home to a year ago, when Rob McKennis is on active duty with the USMC in Afghanistan, but with a small Force Recon team on a secret mission across the border into Pakistan.
I think it might be pretty good. Now, I'm sitting on it until two colleagues finish their tales. More to follow on the actual placement of the three novellas first part of the year.

Just like Mike McBride, I haven't been resting.
Upcoming in 2011:
DEATHFLASH should be released soon, followed by the lettereds for DOC GOOD'S TRAVELING SHOW and JADE and the boxed set of SHADOW, DEATHFLASH, and DOUBLE JACK, all from Bad Moon Books. Two other projects are scheduled for tentative release by them, a novel, NOT FADE AWAY (an expansion of one of the TASTE OF TENDERLOIN stories), and a short story collection of all my recent (last 5 years) uncollected best stuff--this keeps expanding to I think it is now over 90k words without even an intro or story blurbs.
Sideshow Press during the next several months should release a trade paperback of DOUBLEJACK and a chapbook of three futuristic Cal Wild tales, CHRONICLES OF THE DOUBLE SPARROW.
Dark Regions Press some time in the spring will release both a s/l and deluxe hard back of the Stoker winning TASTE OF TENDERLOIN, with an added 'loin story ("Black Tar/Red Alien,") and two added illuminating introductions by Joe McKinney and Norm Rubenstein, and a slightly expanded afterword. I've seen the cover art by Wayne Miller--spectacular!
I've recently finished a novella, RUSTING CHICKENS, which will probably be published alone in tpb, then down the line collected with two novellas by a pair of my crime partners. Waiting for a contract before announcing the publisher.
In addition, I think I have four or maybe five good short stories scheduled in anthologies and magazines, including two favorites, "Sacred Mountain" and "Graffiti Sonata."
I'm working hard on the novel THE CONFESSIONS OF ST. ZACH, and hope to wrap it up in two months.

He has been so busy in fact that he has also become a sell out! Doc Good's Traveling Show is officially sold out! Sorry to those who missed it, but congrats to Gene for a great story.
Chris is doing the letter edition of it and we will be getting it back out there next year with all the other Cal Wild goodness.
2012 THE YEAR OF CAL WILD!!!!
