Creepy Places

The last four or so weeks have been extremely busy so I've been negelecting this blog a little but things have been extremely hectic. As well as that I've been suffering from a nasty cold which my daughter kindly brought home from school and which eventually turned into a minor chest infection. But am back to rude health - or as rude as I can be - now and up to my eyes.

The World's Creepiest Places has gone to Gina, who is one of my favourite editors and we'll soon have something ready for printing but in the meantime you can have a look at Ghosts and Hauntings which is also from New Page and in which I also have an article. These promise to be very good.

I'm trying to twist New Page's arm on a couple of new books but we're still thinking about them. I know that they're not keen on Unseen Forces so we might put this on the back burner - which is a shame as it would be fun to do.

I have so much coming out at the moment I'm starting to lose track - the new Zombies Handbook which came out recently has been selling extremely well and the Biblio Vampiro has been getting great reviews. I think there's another couple of titles in the series due for release sometime soon through Barrons - I'll check with my old friend Eric Lowenhar and find out when.

And of course, there's American Vampires on which I'm still working - looking at vampire tales State by State. Oh and keep your eyes open for new material on Irish and Celtic Saints which is being brought out by Tourism Ireland Ltd - I'll tell you more about that later as I have a meeting about it this very evening, Enough to keep me going and when I get something worked out with New Page I'll let you all know.

In the meantime I'm off to grab a lemon drink and see if I can shake the last traces of this infection. It's a tough life being an author!
