New Michael West Video Trailer For Cinema of Shadows!

Wanted to show some love to my fellow SSP author, Michael West (A truly great guy and a fantastic writer). Here's the new video trailer for his novel Cinema of Shadows. It plays like a short film, at just over 3 minutes, and was produced by DarkRider Studios. Please check it out, and consider giving Mike's book a look, as there is a SHARP new limited edition hardcover up for pre-order (I've seen the proof copy...it is gorgeous) in the online store at SSP.

This is intelligent, atmospheric horror that does not have to resort to "shock value" to get an effect. If you like Stephen King's style, I think you will definitely like Michael West's work.

New Rising Dawn Saga Video Trailers Up Now!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have 2 new video trailers up for the two books in the Rising Dawn Saga. It fills a gap that's been lingering for awhile, and I really feel that these trailers give a good notion and feel as to the content the books.

They definitely showcase the artwork from Matthew Perry, in a dynamic way, using each art piece as a layer to pan across, or zoom in or out on, in a sequence that introduces the books.

Be sure to find these on the YouTube page to get the direct links and/or embed codes, so that you can share them or embed them in your own pages. That would really help to spread the word farther on the series! I appreciate any consideration you can give to embedding/linking the trailers.

New Crown of Vengeance Video Trailer

I am a bit behind on my blogging, but am getting untracked, and I will do a 2009 in review post shortly. I wanted to make sure that anyone taking the time to visit here was able to find the new video trailer for Crown of Vengeance. This is my first book trailer, produced by filmmaker Aaron Champion, to whom I am incredibly grateful. As mist is a major element in this kickoff to the Fires in Eden series, Aaron designed a very nice presentation that really showcases the illustrations included in the book (which were done by artist Matt Perry). Please visit the trailer, embed it, and let me know what you think of it!



I will have some more news posted shortly. In a nutshell, 2010 is going to be very, very busy, with appearances, the next books in my 2 series, and a return to filmmaking. There will even be some more editions of the 2 novels currently out, as a hardcover edition of The Exodus Gate should be out in February, along with Kindle and eBook editions of Crown of Vengeance. Be sure to check back!
