News: I Was Accepted Into the SFWA
Just found out I was accepted into the SFWA. I’m in a guild! I always wanted to be in a guild. Neat, huh? If that’s not an occasion for a double post… what is?
Bookbub
Got an email last night informing me I got that sweet, sweet Bookbub Featured Deal action for LURK. The ebook version will be free on Amazon from August 22-26.

LURK is on Audible
Quick update to let you all know that LURK is out on audiobook, exclusively for Audible! I’ve been an Audible fanboy for years, probably since within about a month of when they launched, so this is pretty exciting for me personally. The audiobook is read by the incredible Kevin Meyer.
Stay scared, creeps.
New Cover Reveal
Hiya friends. I’m pretty thrilled right now. As of tonight, the Kindle version of LURK will have a new cover, which I think is pretty phenomenal. Take a lurk:
Why change it, you ask? Quite simply, I didn’t think the old cover was perfect for the book. In the vast literary jungle that is Amazon, there are hundreds of thousands of novels both traditionally and self-published that all have good covers, and to even get a click-through for someone to read your blurb these days, your cover can’t just be good… it needs to be eye-popping.
So… there it is.
Paperbacks will be updated sometime next week. And as always, if you haven’t read it yet, Part One is free to read here.
Turkey and Good Old Fashioned, Got-Danged Terror
Quick announcement to let you all know that Lurk will be free all Thanksgiving on Kindle, from 11/22 – 11/26. That’s zero dollars. As in free ninety nine. As in five finger discount. As in the punchline of a bad “your mom” joke. So if you’ve been on the fence, know someone on the fence, or know someone who knows someone who has a fence and might possibly one day be on it (or just someone who is looking for an unsettling, creepy read), give them a recommendation and that there link.
And as always, if you read the book and enjoy it, please consider leaving an honest review.
Lurk Giveaway! FREE STUFF!! For YOU!!!
Hi!
I’m finally moving toward republishing Lurk, and it looks like November will be the month. In case you missed it, Lurk has been out of print since May 31st – almost half a year – due to my previous publisher closing its doors. To celebrate, I’ll be giving away a free copy of the book to anyone who wants one. Yes, anyone, and yes, that means you!
Paperbacks are on a first-come-first-serve basis. So, if you want your fancy-shmancy signed “true” first edition of Lurk, you’d better jump on it, because those will go fast. For everyone else, there’s e-books. Just send me an email or a message on Facebook or Twitter and I’ll send you the book.
And please, please, please review the book on Amazon and Goodreads. This is double true for you folks who have already read it. Reviews are an author’s entire livelihood in 2016; reviews = visibility as far as Amazon and other major booksellers are concerned, and the more reviews your book has, the more people will see the book. People can’t read a book if they don’t even know it exists. So please, please, please, take 60 seconds out of your busy day and leave an honest review! Even if you hate it!
I’ll buy you a pizza!
