Hey folks,

I have some great news for those who are interested in my writing. Which, hopefully, includes all of the readers here. The first is that THE SCIENCE OF SUPERVILLAINY is almost ready for release. We’ve got the sketch for the cover available here which depicts Kerri Karkofsky and Mister Inventor.

Kerri Karkofsky is the brother of protagonist Gary Karkofsky a.k.a Merciless: The Supervillain without MercyTM. She’s been a real ensemble darkhorse and just about everyone loves her. Mister Inventor is a new character who will show just how fine the line between villainy and heroism really is.

The Science of Supervillainy follows up the plots established in the previous novel where Gary attempts his grandest feat yet in overthrowing the sinsister President Omega. Surprisingly, that works out well but the ramifications propel an even worse villain (or is it hero?) into power and Gary finds his worst enemy may be himself.

In addition to that bit of news, I should note I’m replacing the cover for THE SECRETS OF SUPERVILLAINY with a slightly altered one. Basically, I didn’t think the current one quite reflected the way I wanted Ultragoddess to look so it’s been updated with a different version. I think it will better fit with what is meant to my second favorite character.

Finally, I’m pleased to say I’ve finished AGENT G: SABOTEUR which is the second book in my Agent G series. The first book, AGENT G: INFILTRATOR, is already prepped and ready for release near simultaneously with THE SCIENCE OF SUPERVILLAINY.

The Agent G series follows the titular cybernetic assassin as he serves the International Refugee Society, the front for the world’s most technologically advanced criminal organization. Stripped of his memory and identity by his employers, he’s been told he’ll get it back after ten years of dutiful service–unfortunately, G just can’t leave well enough alone and pokes a little too deeply into whether or not his employers on the level. Shock of shocks, they’re not, and he soon finds himself facing off against people every bit as advance as himself.

I think fans will love them all.

I’m pleased to say that I’m working with Jeffrey Kafer to do a simultaneous release of the audiobook with the main book on both. Plans are for the release of The Science of Supervillainy in March and Agent G: Infiltrator in April.

Best of all, these two books will hopefully have sequels released this year as well with THE KINGDOM OF SUPERVILLAINY and AGENT G: SABOTEUR. Do I have any other projects planned this year? Yes, I’d like to get out audiobook versions of LUCIFER’S STAR, THE TOWER OF ZHAAL, and STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON.

I’m also trying to get back my books, ESOTERRORISM and WRAITH KNIGHT from Ragnarok Publications so I can re-publish them with edits as well as release their sequels. That’s not happening any time soon, though.

CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON fans should note that THE TOWER OF ZHAAL is currently available in Kindle format as well as available on Kindle Unlimited. The sequel continues the adventures of John Henry Booth and Mercury Takahashi across a post-apocalypse monster-filled world. It also guest stars the most famous Great Old One of them all.

Hey folks,

I’m pleased to say the CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON series is continuing with the second volume now available in ebook form. Continue to follow the adventures of our anti-heroes as they struggle to survive in a world ruled by the Great Old Ones.

It has been a year since John Henry Booth’s exile from New America and the fall of the Black Cathedral. Cursed with a slow transformation into a monster, he has begun a doomed relationship with fellow escapee Mercury Halsey as they seek some way to arrest his transformation.

Dubious hope arrives in the form of the University, the deranged scientists and cultists descended from the staff of Miskatonic University. Except, their offer of help comes at a price. Having sold themselves to ancient aliens called the Yith, they wish John and Mercury to join a group of rogues in hunting down a wayward member of their faculty: a man who intends to release the last of the sleeping Great Old Ones on an already ravaged planet. If they’re telling the truth, John and Mercury will be heroes. If.

The Tower of Zhaal is the second novel of the Cthulhu Armageddon series, a post-apocalypse continuation of H.P. Lovecraft’s popular Cthulhu Mythos.

As always, the audiobook and paperback versions will be available in the coming month. I hope folk will check out the book in whatever format they choose.

    It is with a heavy heart that I announce my withdrawal of my books, ESOTERRORISM and WRAITH KNIGHT from the Ragnarok Publication calendar. I’ve enjoyed my time there and made several friends but it’s time for us to part ways. We have, in Hollywood terms, “creative differences” and the books will be taken down soon from Amazon.com before they are re-edited and re-released. My new publishers for these books, Amber Cove, and Crossroad Press will hopefully get them up later this year.

    My present plans for the books are to continue to allow their publication through Audible for the indefinite future while doing a re-release of ESOTERRORISM through Amber Cover publications while WRAITH KNIGHT is re-edited and re-released through Crossroad Press. I also plan to change the title of the first Red Room book from Esoterrorism to SECRET FILES to avoid confusion with the Esoterrorists tabletop RPG (which is awesome, btw).

    I’m pleased to say we’ll be keeping the art of the original covers thanks to the generosity of Raganrok Publications with Eloise Knaap continuing to do her spectacular covers for the Red Room series. We’ll also be keeping the same for Wraith Knight’s brilliant artist Alex Raspad.

Hey folks,

It’s 2017 and I’m happy to report that sales are going wonderfully for my existing books. Sales were particularly good for Cthulhu Armageddon and The Supervillainy Saga. There were a few works which didn’t work out very well but you win some and you lose some in writing. So, what are we having for 2017? Allow me to tell you.

Cthulhu Armageddon II: The Tower of Zhaal 

    Cthulhu Armageddon is a work which I am particularly proud of. John Henry Booth and Mercury Takahashi managed to survive the events of the first novel but still found themselves in an endless monster-ridden wasteland. In the Tower of Zhaal, set one year later, they find themselves recruited by the mysterious cultists inhabiting the ruins of Miskatonic University.

There’s a terrifying horror still unawakened, imprisoned by the ancient pre-human Yithian race, which is preparing to emerge and destroy humanity’s last remnants. Teaming up with a gang of murderous scum, they may just save the world–or fail miserably trying.

The Tower of Zhaal will be published by Crossroad Press and its audiobook will be done by Jeffrey Kafer. I have hope we’ll be able to release it sometime this Spring.

The Supervillainy Saga IV: The Science of Supervillainy

    The Science of Supervillainy is the fourth volume of the Supervillainy Saga. Gary Karkofsky a.k.a Merciless: The Supervillain without MercyTM finally tracks down and faces President Omega after having had his life ruined by the time-traveling Chief of State. Unfortunately, defeating his nemesis turns out to be less of a victory than Gary hoped. 

    Seconds after their victory, Gary and his wife are captured by Merciful: The Superhero with MercyTM. Merciful, also known as Other Gary, is our antihero’s doppelganger from a previous reality who believes he can rule the world better.  Gary and Mandy manage to escape but not before Merciful has conquered Falconcrest City and reformed it into their worst nightmare: a clean, efficient, retro-futuristic paradise. Can our heroes get their revenge or are they doomed to live in a world without villains?

    The Science of Supervillainy  will be released March of this year with Jeffrey Kafer doing the audiobook.

Agent G: Infiltrator

    Agent G: Infiltrator is the first volume of the Agent G series. Agent G is a Letter, one of those individuals employed by the private military organization known as the Society. Cybernetically enhanced and his memory erased, G is very good at what he does and what he does is murder. 

    Unfortunately, while he doesn’t have any objections to the work he’s done, G has become suspicious about the Society’s promise to restore his memories after his ten years of service is done. His investigations into his past hit a wall when the Society is attacked by their closest rivals in the mercenary Carnivale. Sent on an infiltration mission, he has a unique opportunity to find out the truth of his past–and potentially make a run for freedom.

    Agent G will be released in March of 2017.

Eldritch Ops.

    Eldritch Ops. is the second volume of the Red Room trilogy. Following the ascension of Derek Hawthorne, former assassin and secret agent, to the mysterious Committee, he’s found himself bored out of his mind. After a meeting with the representative of the Vampire Nation goes disastrously wrong, he finds himself investigating his own organization to see if it is involved in a massive program to turn the world’s supernaturals into agents for the House’s agenda. A plan which has the potential to blow up and ignite a war between humanity and the superhuman across the globe.

Discovering his old partner, Christopher, has been turned into a vampire and that Shannon may have been spying on him the entire time, Derek finds himself with precious few people to trust. Worse, he discovers his own potential for abuse when he acquires a weapon which can transform him from a barely talented hedge magician to a killer capable of seizing the House’s power for himself. But is harnessing the power of hell and the aid of a beautiful demon his best idea or his worst?

    Eldritch Ops. will be out on April 1st and no, that’s not an April Fool’s prank.

2016 is finally over! It was a tough year for me, even right up to the end where I caught a nasty holiday bug. I did read a lot of great books last year. According to my Goodreads profile, I read 2…
