Vampires at Barnes and Noble

Recently, my novel Vampires of the Scarlet Order was picked up by Barnes and Noble stores. I've been hearing reports that it's been turning up in stores here and there -- and have seen it at my local store in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

I've been asked to do a booksigning at the Westside Barnes and Noble in El Paso, Texas. For anyone in the area, that will be happening on March 3, 2007 from 2-4pm.

For anyone who wants a fun preview of the novel, I've posted two short readings accompanied by animation of Steve Gilberts' wonderful artwork at YouTube. The movies are at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv1ax-fogoYand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDNdPDHdlrk

These little movies take no little inspiration from my love of Murnau's Nosferatu. I hope you enjoy them if you drop by!

Hadrosaur Audio

I'm pleased to announce that we've just added a new page to our website for the audio books published by Hadrosaur Productions. Drop by and visit at: http://www.hadrosaur.com/audio_books.html

There you can read about the audio books, listen to samples and purchase if you feel so inclined. We also have a link to The Pirates of Sufiro -- which was Hadrosaur's first audio book. It is now complete and available for free (along with numerous other great titles!) at http://www.podiobooks.com

Hadrosaur started producing audio books back in 1994. We don't have a lot of titles, but our desire is to tell fun stories and retell classic tales in an enjoyable, informal way. Our audio books are produced to give the feeling of a little theater performance, a small reading or perhaps being in a tavern listening to a storyteller. Hope you'll drop by and check out some our stories.
