Creative Spirit & Troubled for UK Kindle

In the spirit of creativity and the belief that no book should be left for dead, Creative Spirit (published in the US as The Manor in 2005) and Troubled (published in the US as The Home in 2006) are now alive in the UK and for English in multiple other territories (though currently NOT the US and Canada).

Coming soon; John O'Dowd's mystery Pale Blue Jesus.

Pages of Promises by Stephen James Price

Now available as an ebook, a collection of tales from a sharp new voice in suspense and horror, Stephen James Price. From a man who rubs grave markers to the child of a serial killer, Price's brand of dark fiction is sure to please. We're keeping it at 99 cents while we work on the print edition. Up for Kindle at Amazon and in multiple formats at Smashwords.

Official launch of The Skull Ring

Thanks for supporting working-class fiction! Here's the latest:

Julia Stone will remember, even if it kills her...

With the help of a therapist, Julia is piecing together childhood memories of the night her father vanished. When Julia finds a silver ring that bears the name "Judas Stone," the past comes creeping back. Someone is leaving strange messages inside her house, even though the door is locked. The Christian handyman offers help, but he has his own shadowy past. And the cop who investigated her father's disappearance has followed her to the small mountain town of Elkwood.

Now she has a head full of memories, but she doesn't know which are real. Julia's therapist is playing games. The handyman is trying to save her, in more ways than one. And a sinister cult is closing in, claiming ownership of Julia's body and soul...

It's an ebook right now at Amazon (http://tiny.cc/O3WNT) and Smashwords (http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/9523) and will be in print in a few weeks.

#1, and the spirit is willing

Well, that was easy. Haunted Computer Productions just had its first #1 bestseller. The Red Church hit #1 on the Kindle list in the category of "Christian Science Fiction & Fantasy." Ahead of people like C.S. Lewis, Jenkins and LaHaye.

It's been hanging around #2-4 in the "Ghosts" category but there's this dude named Poe who refuses to be knocked off. I take this opportunity to say, "Thank you, God," and thank you readers who support this wonderful dream.

Dreams always change and nobody stays #1 long in a rapidly-changing world, and it's probably over as I type this, but there are still 6.5 billion readers waiting out there...
