Ladies and gentlemen, it's a wonderfully clear crisp morning here in White Pine, with the lovely Great Smoky Mountains in full view of their splendor.
Upon returning home this afternoon from visiting in Lenoir City, we'll be working furiously around the West homestead, attempting to put into words the fantastic visions I want to share with the world. Some brief notes for you about the novels on which I'm working:
1) The aforementioned "Empathy Project." I was tired of vampires and vampires and werewolves, none of which ever seem to be able to keep a shirt on themselves. So, after lengthy discussion with my beautiful wife, I have created a race of humans with the ability to heal physical wounds and sickness, among other things. This novel is the most researched and "complete"at this point. The "Empathy Project" (unnamed, as of yet) is on track for a mid-May release. I will be self-publishing to Amazon's Kindle store, Barnes and Noble's Nook store, and distributing through Smashwords to Sony eReader, the Apple iBookstore, and several other major eReader formats.
2) A second project, involving the previously scorned witches, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves. In realizing I actually DO enjoy stories revolving around these fantasy tropes, I wanted to put my own spin on these creatures. This novel, in it's infancy (currently still written out on legal pads in longhand), involves a near-future society where witches, warlocks, vamps, and wolvies have always existed and lived around and with human society. The currents of racism, which we humans can't seem to escape, are focused on a hatred and scorn for the 'supernatural,' leading up to a boiling point of explosive emotions when humans and preternaturals collide! Currently looking at an August release date, to be published to same eReader formats.
So, there's a taste to whet your senses before some possible excerpts, which will be coming soon!
