"It'd creeped over the far edge of the rock, just a hand at first, long fork-like fingers gripping the dead animal like a doll. Then I saw the head, and it grinned at me, bright golden eyes cutting the darkness like two beacons. It was as though it knew I was there and had waited for the most opportune time to make its grand entrance and scare the piss out of me, which it did, but I hadn't noticed that until later.

"When I finally made it past the dreadful glow of its eyes, the rest of the thing's face came into focus..."

NEW NOVEL(S); NEW SHORT STORY COLLECTION

Just to keep everyone abreast of things, I have a few items of interest to report.

Firstly, as you can see, the cover for my new novel FIRES RISING has been released, and is posted on the front of my MYSPACE page. I'm quite pleased with it, as it absolutely conveys an imagery and mood that is on par with the story in the book. This book is another religious horror story, on par with THE DEMONOLOGIST, but with a pacing like that found in DEEP IN THE DARKNESS. It takes place in New York City, during the onset of apocalypse. Very visceral, and gory.

I'm also pleased to announce that I've signed contracts for a new short story collection. I cannot release the name of the publisher right now, but it is a very well known and respected publisher in the field. The book will be entitled DARK RIDE, and will contain 23 previously uncollected short stories, nearly 90,000 words of fiction. It will be in a Limited Edition hardcover format, and will be up for preorder soon. Keep your eyes and ears here for details.

Many of you have been asking what I'm working on now. Yes, the rumor is true: I am writing a sequel to DEEP IN THE DARKNESS. I've got about 100 pages done, and have a long way to go, but I will say this about REURN TO DARKNESS: it is different than any book I've ever written. It is dark, creepy, intense, and I guarantee you the pages will whip by you faster than a January wind—which there are plenty of in this book. No spoilers—but I can tell you that this book will pick up right where the last one left off. Now...you won't have to read DEEP IN THE DARKNESS to enjoy its sequel, but it will help to be familiar with Dr. Michael Cayle and the Isolates.

That's about it for now. Thanks as always for your continued support.

Michael
