( Poseidon’s Children), the novel proved to be my best reviewed work to date, even making its way onto some year-end lists as one or the year’s best reads! The novel also sent me on my first virtual book tour. A mash-up that featured the first meeting of Robby Miller ( The Wide Game, Cinema of Shadows) and Earl L. October saw the release of my third Harmony, Indiana novel, Spook House. It was great to meet my faithful readers face-to-face, to introduce my work to new people, and to get to know a lot of stars from film and television, celebrities I have been watching and idolizing for most of my life, including Bruce Campbell ( Evil Dead, Army of Darkness) and the amazing Jamie Lee Curtis ( Halloween, The Fog, Prom Night). I traveled a lot this year in support of my novels – appearing at conventions, book stores, and book fairs in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and as far south as Atlanta, Georgia. Growing up, I can’t tell you how many times I dreamed of having a #1 book, and it was so surreal and exciting to see it actually happen. Then, during my publisher’s Summer Open House, my novel Cinema of Shadowsbecame the most downloaded Horror novel on ! The project introduced me to a world-wide audience, and to date, it has been sold in Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain! This was a project that I had been kicking around for many years, so it was incredibly gratifying to see so many enjoying my story and falling in love with this cast of characters who had been so close to me for so long. March saw the release of Poseidon’s Children, the first novel in my epic Urban Fantasy series The Legacy of the Gods. The publisher also re-released my award-winning short story “Goodnight” in the same fashion.
This was the first time that I had ever released my work in a purely digital format. The year started off with the release of my short story “For the River Is Wide and the Gods Are Hungry” as a digital download for $0.99 through Seventh Star Press. But before we look ahead to what the new year has in store, let’s do a bit of review… And what a year it was filled with the highest highs and the lowest lows, with professional triumphs and personal tragedies, and the hope that 2013 will bring something better. Another year over, and a new one just begun.
