Cover Reveal for Rogue: Omega Book 2…Finally

Posted in Uncategorized on July 5, 2015 by keithlatch

For those patient, kind, incredibly intelligent…and did I mention patient, readers of my science fiction/superhero series Omega, here, in all it’s glory is the cover reveal for Book 2, Rogue.

The long-awaited follow-up to Escape: Omega Book 1. The Kindle #1 Superhero Bestseller.

The government lied.

A UFO did, in fact, crash land in the New Mexico desert in the summer of 1947. Quickly intercepted by the US military, the unidentified flying object and its occupants were whisked away to secret installations.

In 1985, after almost forty years of research, a successful splice of alien and human DNA is achieved. Omega is born.

And he’s escaped. Gone Rogue. A human/alien hybrid that has no idea where he fits into our world. He searches out his origins, wishes nothing more than to be left alone.

However, he is not only the project derived from the captured spacecraft.

In a small laboratory secreted somewhere in the U.S. a program has been hard at work developing weapons and military applications but when the man that is ordered to apprehend Omega decides to use them to his advantage, Omega must decide to save his adopted world or watch it burn.

Cover Reveal–Cemetery Things the Reissued and Revised Edition

Posted in Uncategorized on June 24, 2015 by keithlatch

Finally, I have a cover I love for my short novel, Cemetery Things. My second most popular novel of all my readers and my #1 title among horror readers.

This novel has a heck of history behind it. Originally published (my first published novel sans self-publishing) by Champagne Books in 2008, it received a great response even though it was my publisher’s first horror novel. In 2011, after parting ways with my small press publisher, I put this out as an eBook on all digital platforms. However, that copy has some editing errors that I should’ve cleaned up beforehand. Before I got the chance to correct the ‘script, I took a break from both writing and publishing.

Now, getting back in the game, I wanted to give readers what they deserve, a book written as well as I could, and as clean in terms of editing as possible. Now, as I prepare to release the new edition, I have commissioned a new cover from The Cover Collection. If you’re in the market for a book cover, you could do much worse than checking these guys out!

So, enjoy the new image and get ready for the reincarnated version of Cemetery Things, which, you are warned, is not for the faint of heart.

The Devil Gave Me a Gun now on sale

Posted in Books, From Keith with tags , , , , , , , , , , on January 28, 2012 by keithlatch

The Devil Gave Me a Gun, by Steve Wands and Keith Latch is now available on Amazon.com as a Kindle download. Steve is a great writer and I’m very proud to be sharing a byline with him. We had a lot of fun writing this and I hope the reader will have just as much fun! It’s a great little ominous story and I think if you take a chance, you’ll really enjoy it.

Here’s the cover art:

And here’s a little about it:

Suicide. Sometimes, it’s the only way out. Sometimes, it’s only a trap.

The Devil works in mysterious ways. Just how mysterious, a young man finds out after doing the unthinkable.

Now, unsure if he’s blessed with a curse or cursed with a blessing, he exists between the living and the undead.

As the full power of darkness is realized in a simple inanimate object, he tries to make sense of the horror that is now his life…but evil has other plans.

 

 

So head on over to Amazon and download the sample, if you like it, pick it up. It’ll set you back less than a cup of coffee.

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

Posted in From Keith, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , on December 15, 2011 by keithlatch

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

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , on May 28, 2011 by keithlatch

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!!!

Posted in Uncategorized on April 21, 2011 by keithlatch

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!!!

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.

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.
