I have never believed in looking back. You live in the moment now, and you keep your eyes on the future. I think that is not only how I approach life in general, but also my writing career as well. You can't change the past anyway. But I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to give gratitude for this year that is so soon coming to an end.

Being a writer is hard. Finding fans can be even harder. It can be a long and lonely road in which the fruits of your labor are the size of kiwi seeds--tiny and unimpressive--and you wonder if the whole journey is even worth it. (For those of you starting out, I say, yes, it is worth it. So don't give up. Please, don't give up).

For me, my kiwi seeds are finally starting to sprout. (About dang

time, too :)

I've been at this publishing thing since 2012 when my first book WANTED: Dead or Undead was released through Evolved Publishing. From there, I've gone on to release a total of six books plus an omnibus edition of The Zombie West.

Two years, folks.

Two long years is what it took for me to see some decent returns on my efforts.

TODAY is the day!! ANYONE? is now available at ALL online stores! Grab your copy and join others in reading this apocalyptic roller-coaster thrill ride! Make sure to enter the giveaway for some AWESOME prizes below!

Check out this early review:

The end of the world?

That’s the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters and deep philosophical exercises in school. No need to sweat it. So when sixteen-year-old Tess’s doomsday-dad builds a bomb shelter in their suburban backyard, everyone thinks he’s gone crazy….

…Until fire rains down from the sky, sinking whole cities into colossal craters and setting much of the world ablaze.

Tess’s dad gives her a few short minutes to gather her emergency bag and her freaked-out kitten, then leads her outside and into the underground shelter. Terrified, the last thing she expects is for him to leave her there all alone, but he has no choice—he must find her missing brother.

Before leaving, he makes Tess promise to keep the hatch door shut, not to open it for anyone but him, and to stay put until he returns.

But he forgot to tell her one thing: What is she supposed to do if he never comes back?
