Tales of Dark Romance and Horror - The Book

Ordinarily, I don't like using this blog for commercial purposes and I plan on continuing with that policy. I am however, going to make an exception because after months of working on one particular project, I can now say that I would like to announce the publication of my book, Tales of Dark Romance and Horror. 

 This is a collection of short stories and novelettes that share in common some very human themes; romantic love, forbidden desire, seduction and the struggle against one's personal demons. Then  again, there are demons contained within the book's pages of a different sort. These often inhabit realms that exist outside the human experience, beyond that which is seen by the naked eye. Indeed, they inhabit the dwelling places of the dead and manifest as alluring spirits as well as loathsome, destructive entities.

There are also monsters and dark beings that exist among us in the modern world we inhabit. These are the stuff of folklore and legend. They can be darkly seductive and yet, oh so deadly. We speak here of beings that lurk by the forest in the murkiest swamp lands, and we talk of the undead, blood-thirsty vampires that walk among us in the dark hours of the night.

Tales of Dark Romance and Horror is now available through the Lulu Dot Com book store, which you can find right here.


In the coming weeks it will make its appearance at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other venues as well.

Thank you for reading y'all!

    How exciting!!! I loved your "Night of the Harvestmen" story, so I definitely want to order a copy of this! Hmmm, I don't suppose there's any way I could get it signed by the author...???

      I wish I could sign it for you Lucretia, but when you order, the book will go directly to you without my ever seeing it. At some point I'll probably order some more copies so that I can do a book signing and/or put a few in local venues. I could possibly send you one then. I'm not quite sure when that will be though. But it's a thought.

      Well, I'll buy a copy anyway, because I really do want to read it! And if I ever get out there, perhaps I can have you sign it. :-)

      I'm sure it will be, as I said earlier, I enjoyed "Night of the Harvestmen" immensely. And IMHO, there's nothing scarier than having someone else read your work, unless it's someone you KNOW! ;-)

      By the way, I received an email from a publicist regarding:

      "Nashville-based theatrical scamp rock band Fable Cry, who just released their new track/video "The Good Doctor" in anticipation of their forthcoming album 'We'll Show You Where the Monsters Are', out this August."

      She wants to know about a possible review. I declined because music isn't a focus of my blogging, but I told her I'd pass on info to bloggers with more expertise in that arena, and you naturally came to mind. I didn't mention any names so if you're not interested, no worries whatsoever. :) If you are, I'm happy to forward her email on to you.

      Thanks for your support, Emma and thanks for thinking about me doing the review. At the present time though, I'll probably skip the review. It looks interesting, but between working on a new short story, being added to the staff of a horror groups and preparing a new blog post, I'm pretty filled up. So, I think I'll have to decline doing the musical review.

      The Insomniac has been very supportive of my endeavors and I really appreciate her. She has my book in her possession and I suspect may have something up her sleeve for the not-too-distant future. We shall see.

      No problem at all! I just thought I'd run it by you. :)

      Ooooh... I'm always interested to see what Lynne has up her sleeve! I'll be watching for the shenanigans. ;D
