The past few months since the release of the first book in the ETERNAL VIGILANCE series have been a whirlwind of traveling, book signings and convention appearances, on top of all of the other assorted, sordid projects I have been working steadily on this year. I decided at the end of July to utilize the majority of August to wrap up a few remaining projects such as the jacket art for Michael Marano’s upcoming collection of short stories, STORIES FROM THE PLAGUE YEARS, which will be released by Cemetery Dance towards the end of the year, as well as catching up on my reviews for Fatally Yours and Fear Zone. Everything is progressing very nicely and I am thrilled with the way the cover art is coming along! I’m also hoping this month to tackle a bit more of the second installment of the ETERNAL VIGILANCE series, which will be entitled THE DEATH OF ILLUSIONS. The book is already quite a bit longer than the first and I am very happy with the way it is evolving. I estimate another couple of chapters yet to go before the first draft will be finished. I would still like to attempt to finish this by the end of September so that I can have in my editor’s hands by October… *crosses fingers and prays to Java Bean gods*


So, what’s next, after all of those exciting projects are finished, you ask? Well, it will be back to the book tour trail! There are several very exciting events coming up in September and October to look forward to! They are as follows:

There may possibly be another couple events added between now and the end of August, but this is the list as it stands today. Be sure to keep checking this site on the 2008 Tour page for an up-to-date schedule. I also have several other projects in the works right now, but they are still in the incubation stage so I will not be speaking of them just yet. Better to wait until I have more concrete details before announcing them to the world. My reviews of Polly Frost’s DEEP INSIDE and the new dvd LOST BOYS II: THE TRIBE should be up on Fear Zone this week. And one last thing…If you have pictures of yourself with your copy of ETERNAL VIGILANCE, be sure to email them to me so that I can post them here on the site!


Well, that’s all for now…
