Thanks to Bob Leeper at Evermore Nevermore and the other folks who put together the Mesa Second Fridays!  This Friday, November 9th, from 6pm to 10pm I will be signing copies of my three books, The Travelers’ Club and the Ghost Ship, Twisted History – and the freshly released The Travelers’ Club – Fire and Ash, which is book two of the Steampunk series.  Come by and say hello.  In bookstores The Travelers’ Club novels are $14.95 each, and Twisted History $7.95.  You can buy them for $10 and $5 tomorrow night, respectively, signed and personalized with your name.  There will also be other Steampunk vendors, food, fun, and one of my favorite Steampunk bands, local favorite Jellied Brainz.

Wild Western Festival – Book Signing

I will be at the Wild Western Festival, at Sahuaro Ranch Historical Park, this Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am until 5 pm signing copies of The Travelers’ Club and The Ghost Ship and Twisted History.  Copies will be available for $10 and $5 respectively, which is about a 40% discount off the retail price.  Look for me at the Arizona Steampunk Society booth.  And yes, I WILL be in costume, so you can’t miss this opportunity to gawk at me in my Stetson.  Those who know me know what color it is too – Black.

Here is the link with all the information:

You Don’t Have to Be Rich to Be a Fan!

Just a reminder to all you great blog readers that I am in fact a full time author.  The great news for you is that if you bought EVERYTHING I produce each year, it will cost you less than a movie.  For a movie, you get around 90 minutes of possible fun.  Each of my novels is about ten hours of solid fun, what a value.  Right now, Twisted History is just 99 cents on Kindle!  Twisted History includes stories from several local authors who got into it through an anonymous submission process.  I was lucky enough to have five stories selected.  Or, you can buy the full length novel The Travelers’ Club and The Ghost Ship for just $3.99 on Kindle today!  That is right, as an author, I can only produce three or four books per year.  You can be my best friend for only around $20 a year.  I promise I will give my heart and soul to making each book enjoyable for you.  What a bargain?  My next book is due out soon, delayed by my recent surgeries.  It will be The Travelers’ Club – Fire and Ash, Book 2 of the series.  Please remember to check out the store once in awhile, or look for me on Kindle.  I promise you will enjoy yourself and I will never cost you much in return.  🙂

Please remember that if you like what you read, taking the time to post a review on Kindle, Amazon, Goodreads, or even your own Facebook page is most appreciated.  If you hate what you read, feel free to keep that to yourself.  🙂

Photos Taken for “Blood Bank” Due Out in December!

I want to thank Cara Nicole and Alfred T-Virus Trujillo for shooting photos for my fourth book, due out this December, entitled “Blood Bank.” It is a post apocalyptic vampire run Earth that examines what it means to be human, and that monsters should be careful what they ask for. And no, there are no “sparkly” angst ridden vampires in it. After the photos are processed and approved, we will be sharing some teasers, leading up to the release date.

Cara played a vampire on the cover of Twisted History, my second publication, which includes stories from several local up and coming authors.  This time Cara will be playing a human, named Shawna, upon whose head the fate of humanity rests.  This is the first in a three part trilogy, but each book will also stand alone.

Here is Cara on Twisted History:

http://www.leprecon.org/lep38/index.php

I will be appearing in seven panels, a book signing, and a book reading, as well as selling autographed copies of my first two books in the Dealer Room.  Hope to see you there.

My personal schedule:

Friday

LIT-Good, Bad & Ugly of Genre Fiction 1-2pm Palm E

Whether it’s made into a movie and television show, some of these genre fiction stories are good or bad for their fans. We will discuss when such stories get ugly for the general population. What’s good and bad about Twilight, True Blood, and other genre fiction works.

SCI – Laboratory went Boom 6-7pm Joshua Tree

A discussion on laboratory mistakes and how they lead to discoveries and/or spectacular failures.

Saturday

 SOC-Here comes the Apocalypse 2-3pm Xavier

The Noah story and other end of days’ theories – facts or stuff for the fiction books? Why are the apocalyptic story lines so prevalent in today’s television, movies and books?

Autograph session in dealer’s room 3-4pm

 SCI-The Stem Cell Hamburger Drive-Thru 4-5pm Xavier

Stem Cell Hamburgers, would you eat them?  A discussion on the current state of genetically engineered food and animal cloning in general.

 LIT – Independent Publishing Update 5:00-6:30pm Palm F

What’s new on the horizon for the Indie authors and publishers? There is so much changing that it’s hard to keep up with the technology used to support the pros and entertain the masses.

LIT/MED – Why is Steampunk picking up steam 7-8 pm Palm E

Sherlock Holmes, Wild Wild West, The Three Musketeers have all shared a new major element in their story lines and that is adding steampunk. Why has the turn of the century historical costumes, gadgets and ideas become so popular today?

 Sunday

 Michael Bradley Reading 11-11:30am Boardroom

Excerpts from Two Books – The Travelers’ Club and The Ghost Ship and Twisted History

SCI/LIT – Science research for book writing 3-4pm Xavier

Questions that will be discussed: Will guns rust in space? If we use super hot water for propulsion, how will the engines hold up or work, long term? Can we recycle the space junk left behind by the Apollo teams when we live on the Moon? Can we make a multiple planetary lander today or can we even expect this in the future?
