Absent much? Yep, that's me. Mr. Skip-Out-on-His-Wattpad-Responsibilities... I've just been tackling Book Two in my Blood Magik saga (Subtitled, The Reigning Dead), beefing up the chapters a bit to get it ready for self-publication. I was hoping to get it out by late October, but the first few chaps needed another intense overhaul. (Hopefully that won't be the case for the entire frucking thing, g*ddamn it...) I'm eager to get back to working on some of my newer novels, including "Journals of..." (which you should take a gander at if you haven't yet) but, in the meantime, be sure you give Blood Magik: A Cold Day in Hell (Book One) a solid look-at so you know if you want to get into the next one that'll be released soon (real soon...I think...). Download the ebook for free on Smashwords.com, or read it on here, whichever you prefer. And if you like it, creep on over to my website, BloodMagik.com and get you a signed copy of the newest edition while it's still discounted. This is gonna be a hell-of-a contemporary, zombie-fantasy epic, people, that's only just getting started. Get it on it now so you can tell all your friends you were among the first to know about it after I get the call from Zack Snyder saying he's producing and directing the movie. (His 2006 remake of Dawn of the Dead was what originally got me into zombies and horror in the first place, so he should get the honor of adapting my first book to film. Also, dude's just an insanely badass action director. I mean, 300? Watchmen? Sucker Punch? The list goes on. Let's petition him to get back to his zombie roots by buying the rights to my book, shall we? ...Yes. Yes, we shall.) So slip on over to wherever you need to go to get you some of this Blood Magik action while it's just getting heated up for consumption and take a nice saucy bite. I promise, you (probably) won't regret it. -cm
