Free Kindle Books: No Small Thing and Bestseller, plus, a newsletter!

Hey, everyone, just wanted to throw up a quick post and spread the news about some exciting goings on! First, free books, yep, free Amazon Kindle downloads.

No Small Thing

Kate has a past she longs to forget, and leaves the big city in an effort to put it behind her. A former astronomer, she’s moved home to an ailing mother and a simpler life. Jeremy has demons in his past that prevent him from getting close to another woman. As a renowned cardiologist, he keeps busy enough to forget that he’s alone. With no time for love, there’s no time to get hurt, right? Is it possible for Kate and Jeremy to bury the pain of their pasts and move on, together? Will the people in their lives be happy for them or will they stop at nothing to tear their love apart. Because in the end, they find love is a thing, a thing with both substance and form, but make no mistake: love is no small thing.

Bestseller

Robert Caulder wanted to be a writer, but not just any writer. Caulder wanted the critical acceptance of Steinbeck, of Hemingway, of Fitzgerald and he wanted the fame, fortune and everything else that came with success. Only problem was, he just couldn’t write, not very well, at least. Then after a near-fatal car accident, he suddenly can. From the bowels of a Mississippi small town to the top of the national bestseller lists, he is on his way to stardom. Unfortunately, the horrors that he creates for his adoring fans aren’t content to remain on paper. And that’s when the real horror begins.

Horror Stories: A Macabre Collection by Steve Wands (A treasure of horror goodness)

I’m not much of a promoter, I’ll admit. Never had much interest in it actually. But I am a reader, and when I do stumble across something I really, really, really like, I want to tell people about it. So here goes:

There’s a very talented author by the name of Steve Wands, who has several outstanding titles available. For the moment: I want to talk about Horror Stories: A Macabre Collection, which by the way is free on Amazon.com at the moment and you can get it right HERE

Allow me to tell you a little about it…

{From the Amazon product page}

This macabre collection of horror stories features creatures from all walks of the genre. From fast-paced flash fiction tales of witches, weirdos, and demons to the longer stories of survival among the living dead and killer cars. If you like your horror in the vein of Tales From the Crypt and Creepshow, than look no further.

Stories include:

From The Page
Of Dust and Dirt
The Seed
The Beast
Old Flames Burn Just the Same
Shelter
Traveling Terrors
Tunnel Rats
Hell Comes for the Hurried
Kaleidoscope Eyes
Versions
TV Casualty
The Last Broadcast
The Car

I have a weakness for short stories. I enjoy collections and I absolutely love anthologies. I love movies Creepshow, both 1 and 2 and while I’ve looked there haven’t been all that many great short story collections out there that can compete with movies like that. Sure, I loved Night Shift and Skeleton Crew by Stephen King but after you’ve read those, looking for others is well…difficult. Horror Stories, from the start is an engaging and macabre read. It contains some short and flash fiction that go a long way into saying that storytelling is not dead. It’s creepy, it’s despicable and it’s a heck of a lot of fun. My personal favorites are Shelter,
Tunnel Rats,TV Casualty and The Car, but they are all great. It’s a literal treasure trove of good stories and I highly recommend it for something to take your mind off the horrors of the real world and delve into the darkness of fiction for a while.

So…

…what are you waiting for???

Get Horror Stories: A Macabre Collection right freaking now! And go now while it’s free!

…but between you and I, it’s well worth paying for

The Stars Fell to be serialaized on the Beam Me Up Podcast

My short story, “The Stars Fell,”written under the byline of Robert Latch has been accepted by the science/science fiction podcast Beam Me Up hosted by Paul Cole. The release date hasn’t yet been decided, but be sure to check back and don’t miss out.

Here’s a quick description:

Keenan Walsh is a young man that prefers living life through the lens of a telescope to that of an average kid his age. On his family’s farm in Kansas, he prepares for the greatest astronomical event of his life. However, fate has different plans for him. The unexpected death of his father and the strange green meteors that fall to the earth will change not only his life, but that of his family’s as well.

Bestseller Free for A Limited Time, for Nook, Kindle, etc. NOW!!!

Since the free versions of my novels were so incredibly popular when I put them up for anyone that wanted to read them, I’ve decided to do it once again. This time, instead of simply PDF, they will also be formats available for the Barnes and Noble Nook (which works on many other devices, including the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch), the Amazon Kindle and good old trusty PDF as well.

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s a little bit about Bestseller:

Robert Caulder wanted to be a writer, but not just any writer.  Caulder wanted the critical acceptance of Steinbeck, of Hemingway, of Fitzgerald and he wanted the fame, fortune and everything else that came with success. Only problem was, he just couldn’t write, not very well, at least. Then after a near-fatal car accident, he suddenly can. From the bowels of a Mississippi small town to the top of the national bestseller lists, he is on his way to stardom. Unfortunately, the horrors that he creates for his adorning fans aren’t content to remain on paper. And that’s when the real horror begins.

Depending on the downloads, this will remain available for quite awhile. If demand is high enough, I’ll also place other novels up here for free as well. So, please, help spread the word!

All that I ask is, if you have the time, please post a review for these books on your favorite Book/eBook site! Enjoy!!!

Sleepwalker Cover Unveiled!

Here it is, the final cover rendering for Sleepwalker (I hope). The initial cover chosen shared too many similarities with the cover of another novel, of which I didn’t realize until the very last moment. However, I’m quite pleased with this one. Stay tuned for more details about Sleepwalker.

The Radioactive Pen, Episode 1

Finally, here it is. Episode 1 of the Radioactive Pen is live, and boy, isn’t it a doozy! I have an interview with Desmond Reddick of the Dread Media Podcast, an amazing independent writer, that really gets to the meat of developing and honing your craft over time. We also discuss some interesting things about the changing face of publishing, but I won’t spoil it here. Also, advice from a well-established writer and some publishing news. Be forewarned, however, the changing of the seasons really did my voice in and while Des comes across great, I sound,  at times like a wheezing, stopped-up, sick-o. My deepest apologies, but I had to post this great interview.
