Well, this was a truly busy week. With the release of Curse of Kali I truly had my hands full, trying to promote the new Jason Dark mystery. As part of the promotion and my attempt to get the title at least into the Top 1,000 of Amazon’s Kindle bestsellers, I have also prepared a number of guest-post on various… Continue reading "The first stops of my blog tour"

The big day has arrived. Today is the official release of Curse of Kali. To me it is a remarkable milestone because it is the tenth Jason Dark supernatural mystery and the tenth book I have ever published. I have high hopes for this book — it is the best I’ve written so far, I believe – and I am… Continue reading "“Curse of Kali” has been officially released!"

I am currently in the process of preparing the tenth Jason Dark supernatural mystery for release. Curse of Kali will arrive very shortly and I am trying to find ways to spread the word… maybe you can help?

Here is something I simply have to post today. This morning I stumbled upon a Facebook posting made by Peter Jackson. Filming of The Hobbit is officially underway — it started three weeks ago — and Jackson has posted a first production video clip on Facebook! It is a 10-minute video that takes a look at some of the pre-production… Continue reading "A first look at Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit”"

During this time a lot of things were going and I’d like to recap some of it for you here, in case you missed it. First and foremost, Fangoria issue #302 is… Continue reading "Fangoria issue 302 is out… and some other developments"

As you probably know by now, my Jason Dark mysteries are about a homeless Leprechaun who lays golden eggs and throws rainbows at people to make them go shave their heads so they can learn to inhale soup instead of eating it… I’m just kidding, of course. I couldn’t fool anyone into believing that, but even though you know what… Continue reading "The truth about Jason Dark"

As you may recall I recently reworked Demon’s Night, the first supernatural mystery featuring occult super-sleuth Jason Dark. In the past days I have also created a new cover of Ghosts Templar, another one of the Jason Dark mysteries. This was also an effort to make the book appeal to a larger audience, hopefully, in order to generate more sales.… Continue reading "Et tu, Brute?"

I feel kind of bad, and for some reason it feels weird. I am reading a book, you know. Not just any book. I started reading “Cemetery Dance” by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, two of my favorite thriller authors. But that’s not why I feel bad. It is because I am actually reading it as a paperback! I think… Continue reading "The bad thing about the Borders discounts…"

Occasionally it seems we all are apt to ignore even our own recommendations, somehow too occupied with what we’re doing, I suppose, to stop for a moment and analyze where we are. Book covers are my case in point today. As many of you may know, I have talked about the importance of strong covers on numerous occasions on mailing… Continue reading "The Emperor’s new Clothes"

In the past weeks I have read two new books and I wanted to take a moment real quick to tell you about them because I enjoyed them very much. As I pointed out on numerous occasions, I am a fan of Clive Cussler’s “Dirk Pitt” adventures but at the same time I do have to admit that I do… Continue reading "Two fun reads – “Rogue Wave” and “Island Life”"
