Announcing THE CHILLING KILLING WIND

Crossposting from ForgottenStars.net: it’s the back cover blurb for my next novel, and my first released book not in the Forgotten Stars sequence! It’s a supernatural thriller titled The Chilling Killing Wind, and I can’t wait for it to be out there in the world. I will have a date nailed down soon, but for now, I’m planning for mid to late September.

So what’s the story about? Well:

Tonight, former detective John Lazarus will finally put his old life behind him. He has a new job as a teacher, a new home, and a new love. All he has to do is get through tonight’s execution of Roy Edgar Chalmers, the last of the three men who killed John’s wife in a botched robbery. Once Chalmers is dead, John Lazarus will be done with his old life at last.

But tomorrow the murders will start: strange, violent crimes whose only connection is the pair of voices exhorting the perpetrators to kill. As an occasional police consultant, John Lazarus will increasingly suspect that something abnormal is at the heart of these killings. And when Roy Edgar Chalmers, not nearly so dead as he should be, approaches him for help, John Lazarus will realize that maybe his old life isn’t quite done with him….

Stay tuned for more!

Announcing…THE CHILLING KILLING WIND

Greetings, Programs!

So it’s not “All Forgotten Stars all the time!” over here. What else is there? Well, how about my next novel, set for release in late September? It’s time to start the buzz on The Chilling Killing Wind, which is a supernatural thriller/horror book.

Obviously I’ll have more to come on that project, but right now I’m in the formatting and book design phase. Then I’ll have to order a proof and go over it. Once that’s done, I’ll assign the actual release date.

But you might be wondering what The Chilling Killing Wind is about, so…here’s the back cover blurb!

Tonight, former detective John Lazarus will finally put his old life behind him. He has a new job as a teacher, a new home, and a new love.

So there we are! Great things are happening! Books are on the way, and don’t forget about my book signing this weekend!

Excelsior, and I’ll see you ’round the Galaxy!

An EVENT of MOMENTOUS IMPORTANCE.

This Saturday, at Off the Beaten Path Books in Lakewood, NY, a certain author will be doing his first-ever book signing.

If you’re in the neck of the woods and you want a signed copy of Stardancer, The Wisdomfold Path, or Amongst the Stars–or all three!–drop on in!

Sooo... is it kosher to wear overalls to one's own book signing? (Oh yeah, I'm doing a book signing! Off the Beaten Path Bookstore in Lakewood, NY! If you're within a six hour drive, come over!) #amwriting #writersofinstagram #writerinoveralls #indiebooks

Tone Poem Tuesday

I’ve long loved the two symphonies that Vasily Kalinnikov wrote, but I’ve been largely unfamiliar with the remainder of his output. Kalinnikov was a talented composer who produced a lot of rich, emotional, and songlike work before his untimely death from tuberculosis in 1901, when he was just 35 years old. Had he been able to live to his seventies, I wonder what rank he might hold in musical history.

I haven’t been able to find much information about this particular work beyond its title: Bylina, an overture. You probably don’t need to know more than that, though. This music is its own reward.

Forest murmurs: Hunters Creek Park

Walking at Hunters Creek Park yesterday.

In the woods at Hunters Creek Park #hunterscreekpark #wny #eastaurora #nature #hiking #trees

This park is “undeveloped”, meaning it’s a parcel of land in the wilderness and farm country southeast of Buffalo, with no amenities other than a fairly extensive series of trails, some of which are more heavily traveled than others. The access to the park consists of two gravel parking lots, and that’s it. The park follows Hunters Creek (hence the name) as it cuts through an impressive ravine on its way to Buffalo Creek, which in turn becomes the Buffalo River, which empties into Lake Erie just upstream of where it empties itself into the Niagara River. All this water, therefore, is destined to plummet eventually over the great Niagara Falls themselves.

But anyway, Hunters Creek is a fascinating pleasure. The only people you encounter here are fellow hikers and mountain bikers, and occasionally a person camping overnight (I’m not sure this is permitted but I know it happens).

A few photos from yesterday’s bit of hiking, which involved a side trip to the Creek itself because I’m always drawn to water.

SIGNING!!!

In my ongoing quest to become a Real Writer, I have a Real Writer Event coming up! Behold!!!

Sooo... is it kosher to wear overalls to one's own book signing? (Oh yeah, I'm doing a book signing! Off the Beaten Path Bookstore in Lakewood, NY! If you're within a six hour drive, come over!) #amwriting #writersofinstagram #writerinoveralls #indiebooks

Off the Beaten Path Books is an independent bookstore in Lakewood, NY, on the picturesque shores of Chautauqua Lake. This event is happening under the auspices of The Geekiverse, a local website that’s an up-and-coming one-stop-shop for all your geeky needs. I’ve been slowly coming into The Geekiverse’s orbit (more on that in weeks to come), and this will continue that trend.

So! If you want a signed copy of Stardancer, The Wisdomfold Path, or Amongst the Stars, come to Off the Beaten Path Books on Saturday, August 11!
