Grab a kid–preferably your own, or at least one whose parents won’t call the cops on you–and take him/her to your nearest comic book store to participate in Free Comic Book Day! Give a kid the free gift of reading and you’ll always be remembered as the biggest cheapskate hero ever, the one who exposed them to unknown worlds of wonder, a vocabulary beyond that of their friends, and the glory that is tight spandex. And while you’re there, spend a little money to keep the all-important local retailers in the green.

Find your nearest comic book store and learn more about the day’s festivities HERE!

May the Fourth be with you.

Thanks to Mario Guslandi at Hellnotes for the killer review! Hellnotes has always been one of my favorite genre publications, so kind words from them always means a lot to me. You can read the whole review HERE!

My favorite line: “After reading (and reviewing) horror fiction for decades I’m not easily frightened, believe me, but this is a book apt to scare even people with steel nerves.” (Heh.)

(Thanks to my good friend Kresby for passing along the news.)

Compliments of Kim Tomsett at Wistfulskimmie’s Book Reviews. You can read the whole thing HERE! Thanks, Kim!

My favorite line: “The story took off at a blistering pace and dumped me panting in a puddle at the end!”

For those of you looking to try new authors without spending a whole lot or just pick up a cheap book by some of the best in the business, check out this site:

It only recently launched, but has already featured deals on books by T. Jefferson Parker, Michael Koryta, Jeffery Deaver, Dean Koontz, and Dan Brown. If you’re looking to broaden your horizons, this is a great place to start!

I’m proud to present the first picture of the stunning limited-edition hardcover of VECTOR BORNE from Bad Moon Books. These bad boys are now in Anaheim and prepping to ship worldwide. If you’ve been waiting for confirmation of its production, then wait no more. Check out the pic below:

That’s the publisher, Roy Robbins from BMB, with the book. And no, he’s not microencephalic; the book is that big.

Stunning piece of work, isn’t it?

Courtesy of Robert Morrish at Twilight Ridge. For those who don’t know, Robert gave me my first shot at the pages of Cemetery Dance years ago. His opinion has always meant a lot to me, despite the fact that he hasn’t thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve written. And this review really felt as though he “got” the book, which, to an author, is one of those moments you cherish, whether from a reviewer or a reader. That’s why we write, kids. That’s what makes this calling special.

My favorite line? “All in all, The Coyote is a significant book, and comes highly recommended.”

There are still a few copies of the hardcover available through the publisher or via eBook. Just click on one of the covers below and you’ll be magically transported.

Here’s another great review at Literary Mayhem. Thanks to Peter Schwotzer for the kind words. I’m anxious for this one to get into the hands of my faithful readers.

A quick blurb: “McBride continues to amaze with the depth of his talents and imagination.”

Bring on June!

Thanks to Mallory Heart and the GMTA Literary Community for the killer review! I couldn’t be more pleased.

My favorite line: “[F9] is an electrifying psychological suspense story, with plenty of violence for the splatterpunk aficionados, coupled with high-intellectual science and wonderfully depicted character motivation.”

More news to come.

This has to be one of the coolest things I own. Thanks to each and every one of you for voting for SNOWBLIND! It’s been a magical experience.
