~Giggles~ I’m not sure how Clara would like pulling the jolly old fat man around. Although, he might need a body guard these days…
Tis the season! Why not grab a dark fantasy free book to unwind?
Thank you Adam Wing for this cover!
You know a book is that good when you rush out to buy the paperback! Just got Matriarch by indie author Adam Wing in the mail today. This story was truly unlike anything I have ever read! So what are you waiting for?
Get it now!
Yay! I got my copy of Resurrection: The Legend of Sanction by Kayne Sampson in the mail. Thank you! This is going way up on my to-be-read list.
Angels, demons, a war, and the struggle for balance. What’s not to like?
Are you curious? Get it now!
It’s astonishing what people will research! I was looking for a common Chinese restaurant names for my current work in progress and came across this article on the Washington Post.
Now I can cobble up together some popular words to make a fictional restaurant name feel authentic! Chang’s Lucky Wok anyone?
Yay! My cover designer Re Moran also got her signed copy of the Van Helsing Paradox.
You too can get a copy of this historical dark fantasy in print or for free as an eBook.
Of note, she recently adopted a haircut similar to Clara’s in the cover. While she says it’s a coincidence, I remain unconvinced. 😉
A friend of mine just got her signed copy of the The Van Helsing Paradox! What a wonderful way to spend a foggy ferry ride.

It’s interesting that this shot was taken on the same ferry that Clara would have taken on her way to the Terminus! That part was a complete coincidence.
I just received this quirky little anachronism that I found through Etsy. Featured in the image is a streoscope, a contraption that allows the viewer to see images in three dimensions.
I’ve seen these items in museums throughout the years, and found them to be fascinating. What did people do before television, the radio and the internet? Well some looked at foreign scenes and women in their three-dimensional glory. All with the help of a bulky viewer.
In the Van Helsing Paradox, Clara has referenced these devices when describing what she saw. In that situation, the world was frozen in time, depth remained, but the world looked like an aged photograph. In many ways, it was satisfying to see the world through the streoscope, and see just how close that description worked when it came to this piece of history!
Yes this device works perfectly, impressive for something that was patented in 1895.
An interesting take on writer’s block and how to deal with it. The article, written by Steve Turnbull, an author I follow on Google+.
He is a frequent voice in many of the groups that I frequent, and he always has an opinion to share. In this case he encourages writers to find the root cause and offers tricks that may help an author get back to writing!
Worth a read!
Coffee, a treat and a good book? http://bit.ly/2QgqOLJ
I am exploring advertising ideas for the Van Helsing Paradox! Off to a good start?
My latest work, the Van Helsing Paradox is making its way through various sites for release. I pushed it out a week or so ago through Draft2Digital, Smashwords, Google Play and of course Amazon. After all, it takes time to get the book visible, confirm links, and make sure there is a consistent pricing.
So imagine my surprise, when I learned that Scribd, a subscription based library connected with Draft2Digital, was showing my latest work as a popular download.
That’s great news and I am hoping this trend will continue!
