News Regarding Amazon's Price Restructuring for Paperback Books

In case you haven't heard (or perhaps you have), Amazon has informed authors who have their paperback books listed on Amazon that they have restructured the pricing for those books due to the increased cost of paper, printing, etc.

In other words, they are raising the price of ALL paperback books.

This is something we authors have little control over. We are left with two major conundrums: either we raise our prices and risk not selling as many print copies as we'd like, or we can keep the prices as they are and earn practically ZERO royalties. As you've probably already guessed, authors are going with the price increase.

Which means I'm going to have to adjust my website to reflect those new prices.  With over 175 books available in print, it's going to take some time to get that work done. I do all my blogs and website myself (on top of my writing). I don't have a PA or anyone else to do it for me.

So please be patient if you see a PRINT book listed for a certain price on my website but higher on Amazon. I will eventually get all that straightened out.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

A family on the run, searching for food, shelter, and others not infected.

A plague is wiping out the population, stealing the humanity from people and turning them into
monsters. Kem and Armand are willing to do whatever it takes to protect their daughter and survive. Nothing is promised, not life, not their next meal, not even a decent night’s rest.

The quality of life is quickly diminishing. How much is too much? How long until the fight for
survival is no longer worth it, and it’s time for a dignified end rather than a slow, painful death?

Old MacDonald had a farm,
E I E I O
And on this farm he had some pigs,

With a hack hack here, and a chop chop there,
Here a shriek, there a scream
Everywhere the blood streams...                                    
Old MacDonald had a farm,
E I E I O

Four years ago Byron Shales was a manager for a department store. Now he hunts down and captures the newly zombie-fied dead, and resells them at auction to the highest bidder. What his buyers do with them after the sale is finalized is none of his business, and frankly he couldn’t care less.

His beliefs and apathy come to a sickening halt when he elects to keep one young woman for himself, and discovers that all his pre-conceived notions about these non-living creatures have been a lie. In fact, the truth about Rothsburg’s Disease may be more horrifying than the flesh-eating creatures it infects.

CODE 30
Three Tales of Paranormal Horror

By Gail Smith

Hi. My name is Alexis Hembree, and I’m a cop. My partner and I are good at our jobs, except we don’t tend to work what others would call a “normal” beat. For some reason we draw evil to us like flies to sugar.

Sometimes there are things in this world we can’t explain or anticipate. But when they cross that line between their existence and ours, when they show up, we have to deal with them as best we can.

Some cops fight criminals. We fight something that never should have existed.

303 Lexington St.
It was a crack house. Except, in this case, drug dealers went in but they didn’t come out. Not alive, anyway, but in body bags. What’s more, if everyone who went inside ended up being shredded to death, who was doing the killing?

Georgie Porgie
The killer targeted women. Young, old, prostitutes, business women, it didn’t matter. One moment they would be walking down the sidewalk in the middle of town, and the next what was left of their bodies would be found in a nearby alleyway. Devoured. That’s why I had to be the next one to walk the streets. To draw out whoever was doing this. To be his next victim.

The Goodbye
He murdered young girls by crucifying them with ice picks. He was slick, elusive, and heading for our city. My partner and I were damned and determined this murderer would get no further. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep my head on the job. Neither could I ignore the weird-ass dreams I was having about this deviate. This case was becoming more personal, more foreboding, and more dangerous with each passing day. And there was 
no damn way I could avoid what I dreamed would be the final outcome.
