Dear Friends!
Lots of news!--A New Novel, James Bond, Metal Gear Solid, and More!
My new "Spike Berenger Rock 'n' Roll Hit," DARK SIDE OF THE MORGUE, is trickling into stores and is shipping from Amazon.com! This is the
second in the series and is already receiving some nice reviews (which will be posted, ongoing, on the
Reviews page of the website). You can also the order the book directly from the
Shop page. DARK SIDE OF THE MORGUE takes place in Chicago this time, with locations at various real music clubs in the city. The book is the usual blend of thrills, humor, mystery, references to music, cameos by real rock stars, and the expected sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll!
Several appearances, including a book launch party, have been set up
and can be viewed on the
Appearances page.
Here's some James Bond news: Pegasus Books will publish a second
anthology of my 007 work, tentatively titled CHOICE OF WEAPONS. It
will include the novels ZERO MINUS TEN, THE FACTS OF DEATH, THE MAN WITH THE RED TATTOO, and the short stories LIVE AT FIVE and MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DOOM. Tentative publication date is late spring or early summer 2010.
My novelization of Konami's videogame, METAL GEAR SOLID, won
the "Lovey" (Readers Choice Award) for Best Paranormal/Sci Fi/Horror
Novel of 2008 at the Love is Murder Conference for Authors and
Readers, held in Chicagoland in February! METAL GEAR SOLID 2--SONS OF LIBERTY has a tentative publication date of November 2009.
