    Thanks much for the support. I hope you enjoyed what you've read. The fantasy series has taken me many years of writing to get these out. I used to pump out tons of new short stories until I started writing longer works. It's challenging to keep focused as I only do this for a hobby. Thanks again my friend!

I'm working on a new writing page through my wife's account, and I have one up for my real estate. Thanks for the support my friend!
    Nice I'll eventually get a copy with my next KWP lifetime sub box. Been about a year since the last one. Do have the paperback plus Rooting of Evil, The Summoning and The Celebration.

    I will get the HB when I see it. It sounds like it's right up my alley! Though I am a huge Abercrombie Fan,,,,,

    Thanks, M! Not always easy to get traction in this business. In fact, nearly impossible! But I did receive some great blurbs from Piers Anthony about my fantasy trilogy. He said that if you are going to buy one fantasy book this year, THE SUMMONING was it. That was when it originally hit, and I use the exact quote elsewhere. I read his Xanth series when I was a kid, and although not for everyone, I enjoyed it. My own preference is epic fantasy, and my influences have by far been Tolkien, Terry Brooks, and Stephen R, Donaldson. I describe my series as a traditional quest, but more atmospheric, with no standard tropes like elves, magic everywhere, dragons, etc. More horror and monster-based I guess. Try it, maybe you'll like it.

    I have danced around the paperback for some time, hope I see it pop up on ebay/amazon soon. Congrats Paul!

    Paul it's good to see your books getting picked up by a number of publishers. Since you're here and info from the publisher is impossible to come by - do you have any insight into whether Kings Way Press are any closer to publishing the limited edition of Ogre's Passing. I paid for that book a long, long time ago!
    You posted a link to the lettered edition on your Facebook page in January. I hope that indicated some movement on publication.

    3 of my previously published paperback titles have now been picked up by Cemetery Dance in Kindle. THE WATCHING is now in its 4th reprinting, first from Bad Moon Books, Dark Regions, King's Way Press, and now CD! Quite a history there... MONSTERS is now available in its 3rd reprinting, and also THE UNSEEN.

    Thanks in advance for checking into any of these, and most are still available in trade paperback. Hardcovers are long sold out. I could always use some new reviews up at Amazon, or author interviews in magazines too. Thanks!

    Paul.

    From Sheri: They thought they left spiders back in the country. What they found in the city proved them wrong.

    Sorry it took so long. Been very busy lately. The book released yesterday.
