Deathform Paperback Temporarily Unavailable, But Will Be Back Soon!

For the next few days, the paperback version of Deathform will not appear on Amazon. There was a minor formatting issue in the early pages, so my publisher has sent a corrected version to be re-processed. It usually takes around five days, at which point the paperback will go live again.

It's actually pretty cool to me that this is possible. I wish we had caught the issue before the book went up, but just a few years ago, any error would have been immortalized in print until there was a second run of the book. Kinda nifty that print-on-demand services allow books to be more like living documents now.

As soon as I see the paperback is up again, I'll let you know.

In the meantime, you can still buy the book on Kindle.

Deathform Cover Reveal #sci-fi #thriller #horror #fiction

After some collaborative back-and-forth with Severed Press, which included me sending three terrible pencil drawings that are too embarrassing to share, we have it. The cover.

Check it out:

I love it. The lighting, the design of the spacesuit, the otherness of the creature, and its explosive violence. I hope it gets your imagination going. More importantly, I hope it makes you want to read the book. It's a pretty good representation of what the novel has in store. I'm not certain who the artist is, but I'll ask.

Severed Press has informed me that the book may be released on Amazon as early as next week. I don't yet have an exact date, and I may not have one right up until the release, but if I learn anything, I'll keep you posted. I'm looking into holding a small release party at an indie bookstore near me, but I don't know if this is possible given the constraints. Severed Press is based out of Tasmania, and most of their sales are in eBook format or print-on-demand, so we'll see. I'd like to do something semi-official to kick things off. Check back for details.

Severed Press to Publish My Novel, Deathform

I'm extremely thrilled to announce that my debut novel, Deathform, has found a home at Severed Press. You can read a basic synopsis of the novel here for now, and I will be updating with new info as I receive it. Words can't express how glad I am to be joining their catalogue of talented writers.

I'm especially grateful to my beta readers, Ashley McNamara Fritz, Ben Wheeler-Floyd, Sam Hastings, and of course my amazing fiance, Carey Feagan, who in a little less than two weeks I will be able to call my amazing wife.

So, all in all, not a bad month.

Horror Story Forthcoming in 9Tales Told in the Dark

I received word this morning that my short horror story, "Sleep Study," will be published in Bride of Chaos's next issue of 9Tales Told in the Dark. It's a very fun horror magazine published exclusively on Kindle. The next issue should be up around June or July.

In the meantime, check out their latest issue here!
