New Book in the Works

9/19/2016

Although I'm not usually inclined to post in advance announcements of future works, I feel sure enough that I'm going to follow through with this that I'm using this blog to make such an announcement. I am working on a novel with the Channeled Scablands as a backdrop, and it should be a real departure from anything else I've done.

I recently completed reading the complete fiction of HP Lovecraft, the epitome of early 20th century horror writers, and throughout my reading I was struck by how  much the setting of each of his stories and novels played a part in the overall mood and feelings of dread produced by the author.

How appropriate, I thought, for the scabland topography and atmosphere to loom largely over a tale of horror and dread. And so I have set out to use this iconic setting to produce a work of horror. My estimate for completion is less than a year - but we shall see!

    Okay, so I haven't had a blog until now. But my agent tells me I need a blog. My publisher tells me I need a blog. Readers tell me they want a blog. So here it is, soon to be filled with updates, news, observations, gripes, more observations, questions, answers, absurdly conceived commentary, and other items that seem to have ne better home. Stay tuned!
