"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..."

FIRES RISING to be published in Germany

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well, and is gearing up for Spring. I know I am. And with this, there's lots going on.

Firstly, my novel FIRES RISING, a Leisure Books paperback, is out in stores and is getting fabulous reviews. It's a fun romp of a book, and my readers have been letting me know about it. I truly urge you to check out FIRES RISING, as this will help pave the way for my next novel RETURN TO DARKNESS, the long-awaited sequel to DEEP IN THE DARKNESS. I cannot stress the importance of your support for FIRES RISING. As writing is a business, this book must do well in order for RETURN TO DARKNESS see print. But you know that already. So go on out and get a copy of FIRES RISING now!

Hey, if it's good enough for Germany, then it's good enough for you! That's right. FIRES RISING has been picked up by German publisher Otherworld Verlag, and will be published in hardback in Germany in 2009. So for all my fans in Germany, expect the book to be hitting the shelves there in 2009.

As mentioned in an earlier announcement, my new short story collection DARK RIDE is now available from Borderlands Press, and can be ordered through the BorderlandsPress.com website. There are only 500 copies, all signed and numbered, containing 23 stories, and a groovy introduction by Brian Keene. I have my copies, and it is a GORGEOUS book. Buy one now and make me happy. It'll make publisher Tom Monteleone happy too.

I've been working on a number of short stories, and plan to do some more. I've enjoyed this bit of time between books to work on some odd projects. And when Summer rolls around, I'll be getting to work on my psychological horror novel PANIC.

Thanks for listening, and please, pick up a copy of FIRES RISING today.

Michael
