Emun of Mor by Mathew E. C. Bridle

The lands of Alzear had become fragmented by the terrors of the Horde. Many of the great mages had been slaughtered leaving much of the land defenceless to the onslaught. The warriors had done all that they could, with the help of the druids and priests, but none could hold back the sweeping tide of destruction that had been unleashed upon them.

An uneasy alliance was formed between men, elves and dwarven kind; together they hoped that they would be enough. The land of Mor needed something special – The Divines had promised much, but had failed to deliver. Only one man believed in the ancient prophecy of Emmanuel. Now was the time for the prophets to rise and take their place as the watchmen of The One. The faith of one loyal servant was all they had; faith enough to call heaven down to Earth and turn the tide of the advancing horde.

Jevron Mc Crory Author of Swan Song

Oct 072009

Jevron RoarBorn in the East End of London where he currently resides with his fiancee, Jevron Mc Crory’s sincere love of the vampire is somewhat humbling. As affecting as they are unique in a rapidly expanding field, Jevron’s blood drenched tales are short, sharp shocks that somehow still manage to retain a bitter sweet romanticism. ‘Swan Song’ is Jevron’s emotional debut novel with Vamplit Publishing. It unflinchingly portrays an altogether too real scenario of loneliness and despair that, with the inclusion of a vampire lover as damaged as her male counterpart, builds to a heart rending climax.

Swan Song Artwork by Jevron Mc Crory Katrina Collins isn’t like other musicians. She doesn’t grant interviews. She doesn’t pander to the press. No one has ever seen her outside of her musical arena. Her manner is brief, her beauty startling and her effect upon an audience mesmerising.

Lewis Morrison isn’t like other music journalists. He despises music. He loathes musicians. No one can stand to be in his company for more than a few moments. Katrina and Lewis are both damaged.

In the seedy underbelly of Camden, a unique North London habitat, they will find each other and their discovery will bring hope, redemption, pain, pleasure and death. This is Swan Song and it is unlike any other vampire story you have ever read.

Available as an eBook from all good online book stores links on our dedicated site ebookundead.com priced $2.99. Visit Blood Read our online magazine which contains work by Jevron Mc Crory.

Timothy C. Hobbs Author of The Pumpkin Seed and The Smell of Ginger

Aug 192009

Timothy C. Hobbs is a 59 year-old retired Medical Technologist living in Robinson, Texas. He wrote his first short story in the sixth grade and at the time I believed the title of The Vampire of England to be quite original. The main character, Alucard, was Dracula in reverse. He still has that penciled, long-hand manuscript.

The year 2005 was his first actual money sales experience. He sold a short story and a flash fiction piece to Dark Tales (Autumn 2005 Issue#7 and Autumn 2006 Issue#9) a U.K. publication, and a short story to spinetinglermag.com (Fall 2005 Issue#4) a Canadian on-line publication. He has published short stories and poems in New Texas, an annual literary journal in 2000, 2001 and 2003. A collection of his short horror fiction, Mothertrucker and Other Stories from Amazon.com.

The Pumkin Seed released by Vamplit Publishing in 2009 was Timothy Hobbs first published novel. He is now working with his editor at Vamplit Publishing on a collection of stories based on popular fairytales. The Smell of Ginger is the first to be produced as an eBook. The whole collection will be published together under the title Once Upon a Time in Texas some time in 2011.

Timothy C. Hobbs is a consumate horror writer and his stories are both horrific and beautifully crafted.

Pumpkin Seed by Timothy C Hobbs

The Pumpkin Seed by Timothy C. Hobbs

“I am a drinker of human blood and an eater of human flesh, a monster dressed in the skin of a man.” So states Charles, the main character of the novel, after being infected with a virus transmitted by an insect vector.

The Pumpkin Seed opens in India near the Nepal border in the late 17th century. A commissioned officer of the East India Company is seeking a profitable new trade route into China. Indian bandits of the Thuggie clan attempt to stop this further invasion by the British and release a plague of insects, which carry a unique virus. This organism not only infects humans, it transforms the chemical and physical nature of the host’s body. Longevity, resilience and the need to feed on human blood and flesh make the host an efficient killing machine, especially in regard to the human race. The novel follows the characters through 17th and 18th century England and India, culminating in present day Austin, Texas.

Set in the orphanages of London and in the vile trade of body snatching, a list of characters, who are as despicable as their deeds, search for the truth and a cure for their malady. The Pumpkin Seed takes us through the vices of greed, hate, love and despair and creates a modern novel that puts colonialism in the spotlight and asks difficult questions about this generation’s guilt for the crimes of its ancestors.

The Pumpkin Seed and The Smell of Ginger are available to download on Kindle (mobi),  HTML, JavaScript, Epub, PDF, RTF, LRF (Sony Reader), Palm Doc (PDB) and Plain Text.

James Garcia Jr Author of Dance on Fire

Aug 082009

James Garcia Jr. James Garcia Jr. was born in Hanford, California in 1969. In the mid 1970′s James Sr. began a Law Enforcement career just up the road with the Kingsburg Police Department, taking the family there. It was not until junior high school; however, that anything of significance occurred. Discovering authors Stephen King and Michael Slade, as well as hard rock music, began to form a spark of creativity within his adolescent mind. He began to play guitar and pen song lyrics, but soon found himself confined in that tight medium, desiring to do longer works.

After graduation he moved on to the local community college where he met his wife. By this time he had written a handful of short stories, a couple of novellas and had begun writing the novel that would become, Dance on Fire.

Career changes, building a family, and the busyness of life impeded his writing at this point. It wasn’t until he came to the realization near his fortieth birthday that he did not want to go to the grave with any regrets he plunged headlong into the dust-covered novel in earnest and not only completed it after twenty years, but started and completed its sequel in eight months.

James and his wife, Aida, and their two sons make their home in Kingsburg, where he is an Administrative Supervisor for Sun-Maid Growers of California.

James Garcia Jr’s novel is now available in ebook format by following the link below.
