Marysvale is available!!!

Yep, that's right, my first book is available for purchase. You can get by clicking here. It's also available for the Ipad, Kindle, and just about any ebook reader. The ebook for Barnes and Noble might not be available yet, they are slow. Ditto for getting the print book through them. As for walking into a book store, I doubt that anyone has it yet. However, my distributor partners with Ingram, so just about any book store should be able to get it for you. Between now and January, it should become available locally through Deseret Book, Smiths, and Costco. In January I will be doing book signings at some of these locations. However, I'd love to come do a signing and talk to your book club, if you would like me to. I even got a hair cut! And I promise to shower. I might even bust out the cologne that B'lue bought me. Oddly enough it's called Blue.

I have a huge favor to ask of you all. When you buy Marysvale, and if you like it (which you will), please recommend it to your friends though a facebook, or blog post. And if you purchase it from a website that allows reviews, please take the time to write one. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. The only way Marysvale will grow is by you through word of mouth...And someday I hope to be able to purchase a Cafe Rio pork salad from the proceeds...Or perhaps my very own private island, or an under water marine base, I can't decide between the three.

The flavor of Marysvale.

In light of the interest Marysvale is generating, and its eminent release, I thought I'd tell you a little more about it. What's its flavor is, genre, etc... Marysvale is a paranormal novel. I didn't know what that category is either. Paranormal novels usually fall under fantasy. Did I loose your interest? Some people don't like fantasy. But stick with me, it's not what you think. Paranormal stories happen in our world, everything is as we know it to be. We don't have six moons, elves, dwarfs, or the kingdom of Gondor. Gravity still tugs on my gut. Cheesecake still aids the gravitational pull on my gut, and so on. However, there is something supernatural about these stories. Say, like vampires. Vampire novels are paranormal. Marysvale is paranormal because it has a monster problem...Soulless beasts that the protagonist thinks only exists in nightmares.

Marysvale takes place in a setting similar to the puritan/early colonial days era. I didn't nail down a time frame, because it's not historical fiction. I didn't intend for it to be. The language my characters use is not authentic; their mannerisms are also not authentic, but they aren't too modern either. If they were authentic, Marysvale wouldn't be an easy read, and it is. It's a fast paced story that clips along with lots of action. It contains the building of friendships, a budding romance, and a bit of mystery. The female characters are every bit a part of the solution, and were not written to be damsels in distress. The story is also clean, although there are some intense parts. I try to convey the horror, without the gore. Marysvale is a perfect story for your Halloween fix.
