Revised & Updated Paint It Black Available From Premier Digital Publishing!
After decades spent roaming the globe in search for the undead monster who created her, vampire/vampire-hunter Sonja Blue has finally found in the psychic detective Palmer and the unearthly child called Lethe a family she can call her own. But the new world she has created for herself is forever changed by a brief affair in New Orleans that ends in madness and death, and leave the Other—the murderous, demonic aspect of her fractured personality—stronger than ever. When Sonja receives news that Sir Morgan is behind a string of murders of women found wearing sunglasses and leather jackets, she abandons her ‘family’ for New York City. Once she is face-to-face with the evil vampire lord, will she finally be able to destroy him once and for all? Or will she succumb to the darkness within her and become his queen?
This ebook edition of PAINT IT BLACK is updated and heavily revised and is now the author's preferred text. It also features an original cover by the talented graphic artist Sean Hartter, who passed away earlier this year.

Kick Off Cyber-Monday With A Free Ebook Courtesy Of Hopedale Press!
'Tis The Season To Be Jolly!
So why would anyone want to celebrate it by reading tales of super/natural terror? Tradition, that's why!
While most of you are no doubt familiar with the mythic figure known as St. Nicholas/ Santa Claus/Father Christmas/Papa Noel/Sinterklaas, who flies about the world to bring presents to good little girls and boys, many in the United States are unaware of the Jolly Old Elf's darker half, a demonic creature called the Krampus, who travels alongside St. Nicholas, searching for naughty children to stuff in its sack and carry away to its lair, to be fattened up and devoured for Christmas dinner. How's that for good ol' fashioned nightmare fuel, as well as a sure-fire means of making sure the kids stay in their beds while you're putting together the damned bicycle?
Wait, Did I Hear You Type 'Free Ebook'?
Yes, you did. For a limited time during November and December, THE ICE WEDDING is offered free on Kindle. (Sorry, epub readers, but until iTunes and Nook start making it easier to do similar promotions, you'll have to be on the outside looking in.)
The Happy Holidays From Hopedale Press Special starts 3am EST on November 26th and runs to 3am EST November 29th, 2012.
If you miss that freebie window, you get a second crack at it during The Hopedale Press Krampus Special, which runs from 3am December 23rd to 3am December 25th, 2012.
And what, exactly, is The Ice Wedding about, you ask? Well, its a gothic fairy tale based on a real-life event. In this case, how the Empress Anna punished an unfortunate Russian nobleman, first by commanding that he become a royal jester, and then by forcing him to marry her chambermaid. The newlyweds were then told they could earn their freedom by spending their wedding night in a cottage made entirely out of ice, during the coldest winter Moscow had ever seen. Chilling, isn't it?
You Also Said Something About 50% Off Ebooks, Didn't You?
Indeed, I did.
To celebrate the Season of Giving, I have decided to slash prices on three of my $4.99 ebooks by 50%: Hell Come Sundown, Lynch: A Gothik Western, and Walking Wolf. The sale will run from November 26th until December 31st, 2012 and will be available via Kindle, iTunes, Kobo, Nook, Sony and Smashwords.
Hell Come Sundown: Sam Hell, a former Texas Ranger turned ghostbreaker, and his traveling companion, the Comanche shamaness Pretty Woman, search the Mexican border for Sangre, the vampire conquistador who turned him into one of the undead. Was $4.99--now $2.99 until Dec. 31st.
Lynch: A Gothik Western: A Frankenstein gunslinger and his flesh-eating zombie horse ride out in search of the rogue cavalry officer responsible for lynching him and murdering his pregnant wife. Cover by Stephen R. Bissette. Was $4.99--now $2.99 until Dec. 31st.
Walking Wolf: An infant werewolf is found by a Comanche warrior at the site of a massacre and raises him as his own. When Walking Wolf's darker nature leads him to kill the woman he loves and his best friend, he decides to venture into the White Man's world in hopes of better understanding who, and what, he truly is. Was $4.99--now $2.99 until Dec. 31st.

Sonja Blue On Kickstarter!
I have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to fund the completion and
publication of KILL CITY, the first
new novel in the Sonja Blue series
in ten years.
Should the Kickstarter campaign meet its stated goal amount, KILL CITY will be the first traditional
‘physical’ novel published by Hopedale
Press, a self-publishing venture I created primarily to release ebooks and
audiobooks from my back catalog.
After the initial
book proposal for KILL CITY was deemed
as ‘uncommercial’ by traditional publishers—largely due to a biting take on a
certain popular series of vampire novels aimed at the Young Adult market—I have decided to forego re-tooling the plot in favor of taking my case directly to the fans of the Sonja Blue series.
I know there’s an audience out there for this
novel. Every day I get emails and posts on my Facebook page from different fans
throughout the world, wanting to know when Sonja Blue will be making her
return. While mainstream publishers might not feel there’s enough demand to
warrant the outlay for KILL CITY, I
know otherwise. In today’s radically changing publishing world, there is no
longer any need for the author of a widely read series—one that won awards and
has been reprinted in ten different languages—to simply accept the say-so of a
publisher as to what is commercially viable and worthy of production.
Incentives
offered to potential supporters range from DRM-free ebook editions and T-shirts
to the distinction of being killed (in print, that is) by Sonja.
The Kickstarter page also provides fans a chance to read a previously unpublished excerpt from KILL CITY, as well as
new music video showcasing the character of Sonja Blue that includes a
wide array of artwork from both professional creators and fans.
The Kill City Kickstarter Campaign runs from October 29th to the
28th of November.
