Already Available and Coming Soon....

Despite my moaning and groaning about being unproductive, I've found myself to be a liar in that regard. I have two new novellas coming this summer, for your apocalypic beach reading enjoyment.

The first one some may already remember me discussing on Facebook ad nauseum. Thanks for reading my status updates. :) It's called The Demon's Tale and in a nutshell, it deals with a Dark Ages mind confronted with modern desperation.

New cover art is to the right here. Pretty cool, huh? It's available in both Kindle edition and print.

For the Kindle version, click here.

For the print version, click here.

If the tales of demons aren't quite your thing, you can always pick up the second release due out later this summer: The Lazarus Stone (Conspiracy Edit).

 

For those who have a copy of the original Lazarus Stone short story, never fear! This one is the FULL story. Unredacted, as it were. All the gorey details of the apocalypse and no innocents spared. It's perhaps the most disturbing story I've ever written, to be honest.

The cover art (shown at the left) is simple, to the point, and reminiscent of a government document (or for those in the film and TV biz, you may recognize good ole Courier font and script formatting).

For the observant, you'll also notice the name on the cover is not Suzi M but Xircon. Say hello to one of my pseudonyms.

Keep an eye out for The Lazarus Stone (Conspiracy Edit) release sometime around the 4th of July. I'm patriotic if nothing else.

The Demon's Tale - Now Available for Kindle. Print Version Coming Soon.

It's officially live as of this morning! Pick up your copy of The Demon's Tale in Kindle format.

Since I'm a bit old fashioned, however, and because I really love to sniff books, there will also be a print version coming soon.

So if you've got your Kindle or Kindle app and want to fill it up with some light demonic reading, click here to snag your electro-copy of The Demon's Tale and enjoy!

Has Anyone Seen My Post? I Know It's Around Here Somewhere...

Work on The Lazarus Stone (Conspiracy Edit) has stalled for now. It's almost finished, and it will be released this summer. The devil's in the details, and in this case the 'details' would be editing.

I'm blaming sunburn, but really it's just laziness on my part. I set a goal, and it was a smidge too high for my half-assed leap. A lot of things have slid by the wayside in the wake of my picking up books to read instead of write for a change. I forgot just how much I really enjoy reading a good story.

Recently finished The Colorado Kid by Stephen King. Great story, as always. I'll admit I picked it up because I really dig the TV show based on it and I wanted to find out what it was all about. I was hoping to solve the mysteries before the show laid it all out, you see, in case the show got cancelled as so many awesome shows with plot and depth often do these days. I was bamboozled, however, and I'm glad. The story is only marginally in keeping with the TV show in that they find a John Doe on the beach, and he's dubbed 'The Colorado Kid'. There's two old gents who work the newspaper, too, and they're basically the same on the page and on the screen. And that's where the similarities end, but in a good way. It's like coming to a fork in the road and taking first one way and finding where it goes. Later on, a month or so, you come back to that same fork and decide to take the other way to find out where that one goes. Same destinations, you find, but a different way of getting there.

But I digress. We were talking about the apocalypse, right?
