Apologies for the tardy post. This past month, I moved to a new home, changed day jobs, battled a wicked cold, and—oh yeah—endured another birthday. But amid this madness, I’ve been working on a literary side-project, which I hope to announce soon. So tune in next month—same bat-time, same bat-blog! Happy New Year! In 2013, The Alpha And The Omega ebook will be free to Amazon Prime members. (It will still be available for $2.51 – $2.99 for non-Prime members.) *** The gory details: As a condition for the A&O ebook to be offered free to Prime members, I can no longer sell it […] I’ve been subjected to this sentiment throughout my life: “Horror, science fiction, mysteries, and the like, are fine for beach reading, but they’re not literature.” Then a few years ago, I stumbled across an essay by Anne Rice (author of Interview With A Vampire, among other works) where she dared argue that genre fiction was […] To celebrate the most terrifying month of the year, a selected commenter to this blog entry will receive a free copy of The Alpha And The Omega!

I originally came up with The Alpha And The Omega in the 1990s. Back then, the time was ripe for an apocalyptic thriller.
