‘Wake the Wicked’ Now On Google Play!

I hadn’t planned for this to be one of my big news posts, but when someone asked me last night if my book, Wake the Wicked, was available on Google Books, and it wasn’t, I needed to make some changes.

With the rising growth of Google Play, I thought, “How could Wake the Wicked not be a part of the store?” I wasted no time in putting my swamp rats to work. And now, after only a few laborious hours, I’m happy to announce it’s arrival to the book store! Click HERE, or the big Google Play image, to order now.

Special thanks to Maureen for the suggestion!

Don’t have Google Play? Here are a few other places to order from:

‘Wake the Wicked’ One Year Anniversary!

One year ago yesterday, on December 21, 2012, “Wake the Wicked: Thirteen Twisted Tales” was first published in eBook format!

There’s no better time than this to extend my sincerest thanks to those who have supported and brought this incredible endeavor to life.

To those who attended the book signing, wrote insightful reviews to help potential readers, suggested the book to others, or read the book out of morbid curiosity, I thank you! I could’ve never imagined how successful this bizarre collection of short stories would become.

I’ve learned more than I could’ve imagined on this yearlong roller coaster ride and it’s made me as passionate about story telling as ever!

Thank you again for creeping along with me, dear reader. I look forward to many more years of success. Stay tuned.

Violet and Ivy had been one person until two months ago, when surgeons hacked them apart, right down the middle as if removing a parasitic insect. Despite the risks of surgery, detachment was the last hope to try to save them both.

Ivy had been the first to catch the bug. Eligio, the surgical masked caretaker, had kept them strapped to a king-sized bed in a little one bedroom house for a week until Ivy started spraying the walls with blood. After that, he knew slapping on a mask for protection wasn’t going to cut it.

A week ago today, a nurse encouraged Eligio to pick out caskets, “You know, so you’re one step ahead.” The same day however, they released Violet from the hospital. In a short time, she’d gotten stronger than Eligio could have imagined. She’d begun walking again. Her legs stumbled at first, like a child taking its first steps. She’d gained her appetite as well, eaten every hospital grade meal down to the last grain of rice.

“Violet!” Eligio yelled over to the gangly hag for the third time. She tilted her head in response. “Hand over the remote.”
