Upcoming Release: Scott Nicholson's Creative Spirit

I am actually reading one of his ebooks at the moment, Speed Dating with the Dead, and it's quite good. So to think that I am going to have a good supply of these still coming out is an exciting prospect. Here are the details for Scott's latest release.

"Scott Nicholson explores the dark legends of the southern end of the Appalachian mountain chain, a nightmare country that ends in Stephen King's yard."-- Sharyn McCrumb, author of The Ballad novels

CREATIVE SPIRIT

A paranormal thriller by Scott Nicholson

After parapsychologist Anna Galloway is diagnosed with metastatic cancer, she has a recurring dream in which she sees her own ghost at Korban Manor. She’s compelled to visit the historic estate to face her destiny and the fate of her soul.

Sculptor Mason Jackson has come to the manor to make a final, all-or-nothing attempt at success before giving up his dreams. When he becomes obsessed with carving Ephram Korban's form out of wood, he is swept into a destructive frenzy that even Anna can’t pull him from.

The manor itself has secrets, with fires that blaze constantly in the hearths, portraits of Korban in every room, and deceptive mirrors on the walls. With an October blue moon looming, both the living and the dead learn the true power of their dreams.

View or sample it at Amazon US, Amazon UK, Kobo, Smashwords, BN.com, or Goodreads. Look for Liquid Fear and Chronic Fear from Amazon’s Thomas & Mercer imprint.

The New Vampire Academy!

I have just discovered the name of the new Vampire Academy type sin off series that Richelle Mead is writing!

Bloodlines is releasing in August 2011!

You have a lot to live up to Ms. Mead, I so hope that Bloodlines is as good as Vampire Academy. May the force be with you.

Book Release: Crime Beat by Scott Nicholson

Scott Nicholson's new book is out today! You may have heard of him before so far he's written:

Speed Dating with the Dead, The Red Church, Drummer Boy, Ashes, As I Die Lying and heaps more. So far I've seen a lot of novellas from him and so is his latest: Crime Beat

Crime doesn't pay...but neither does journalism.

When Moretz takes a reporter job at a small Appalachian paper, a crime spree erupts that quickly escalates to serial killing. And Moretz seems to know a little bit more than what appears on the front page.

Inspired by Scott's experiences as a reporter, and possibly as a serial killer!

You can find some great deals on Crime Beat which was released today:
99 cents for a limited time at Amazon
Or at Amazon UK
For Nook at BN.com
In all formats at Smashwords

Is it just me? The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind

The newest Richard and Kahlan novel! Coming 2011.

I am uber excited about this info! Although I only got halfway through The Sword of Truth Series I am restarting it and I was always sad to think the Confessor was the last book in the series because I absolutely love Richard and Kahlan.

Now finding out about The Omen Machine I am both excited and scared...because of the synopsis.

"An accident leads to the discovery of a mysterious machine that has rested hidden deep underground for countless millennia. The machine awakens to begin issuing a series of increasingly alarming, if minor, omens. The omens turn out to be astonishingly accurate, and ever more ominous. As Zedd tries to figure out how to destroy the sinister device, the machine issues a cataclysmic omen involving Richard and Kahlan, foretelling an impending event beyond anyone's ability to stop. As catastrophe approaches, the machine then reveals that it is within its power to withdraw the omen ...In exchange for an impossible demand."

Is it just me or does that sound a bit like a Sci-Fi Novel?

I don't seem to remember there being any machines in the Sword of Truth world or it talking...

That was more Wizard of Oz type fantasy rather than Midland Fantasy.

Hopefully it will have a little more context once I get around to it...
