My new book is here! My new book is here!

Lost Creatures, my new collection of short stories, officially releases today! Woo hoo!

It’s available in ebook on Kindle, Nook, Apple Books, and Kobo, and in paperback on Amazon. (It will also be available for pre-order in paperback on B&N but at the moment B&N is experiencing technical difficulties.)

You can read all about Lost Creatures and find order links to all of the vendors on my website: Order Lost Creatures Here. Or you can click on the individual vendor links below:

I’m excited to share this collection of stories with you and hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

We’re just two days out from the official release of Lost Creatures, my new collection of fourteen short stories, and I’m excited to share them with you!

While the paperback version won’t officially be available until May 17, the eBook version is available for pre-order on several platforms, depending on your eBook vendor preference. In addition to Kindle, Lost Creatures is available on Nook, Apple Books, and Kobo. I’ve included the links below if you’d like to check them out:

Oh, and if you haven’t entered the Goodreads Giveaway for a signed paperback copy of Lost Creatures, the giveaway ends on May 16, so there’s still time.

Also, if you’d like a sneak peak at the collection, my short story “Scattered Showers with a Chance of Daikaiju,” the first story in Lost Creatures, is currently FREE on Amazon through May 16 if you’d like to check it out. Or give it as a gift to a friend. The more, the merrier.

Finally, as this is a self-published endeavor, it doesn’t have the marketing or promotional weight of a publishing house behind it like my other published books. So if you feel compelled to share with friends and family, or anyone who you think might enjoy my collection of stories, any signal boost is appreciated.

As always, thanks for reading!

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I published a new book, so I’m happy to announce that my short story collection, Lost Creatures, will be coming out next month.

Woo hoo!

The collection contains 14 stories, 4 of which appeared in previous collections/anthologies and 3 of which I self-published as Kindle singles in 2016. The other 7 stories are brand spanking new, never before published. So I’m excited to have the chance to share them with you.

The book will be coming out in both paperback and ebook formats, although it’s not available for pre-order at this time. I’ll be sending out updates between now and the release.

In the meantime, I’ve included the back cover copy below, along with the cover, which was inspired by one of the stories in the collection titled “When the Giant Koi Returned to San Francisco.”

Oh, and later this month I’ll be hosting a Goodreads Giveaway for several signed trade paperback copies. So if you’re on Goodreads and want to make sure you get notified of the giveaway, all you have to do is put Lost Creatures on your Goodreads Want to Read list and they’ll send you an email when I set up the giveaway.

More to come!

——————————

A family of luck poachers receives a phone call that sets them off in the hopes of reversing their bad fortune. At a singles mixer for chemical elements, a luminous-yet-jaded Neon looks for love, or at least a one-night exothermic reaction. When blue skies turn gray and the daikaiju siren blares, the ten-year-old daughter of the local weatherman discovers her destiny. And washed-up evildoers live out their meaningless lives at a retirement home for villains—you never know when someone might turn the swimming pool into a shark pit, or bring a death ray to Taco Tuesday.

From the imagination of the author of Breathers and Big Egos comes a collection of 14 tales of downtrodden luck poachers, lovelorn chemical elements, obsolete villains, disillusioned children, trademarked teenagers, outcast reindeer, victimized zombies, and time-traveling alcoholics—many of them lost and searching for answers. Some of them find what they’re looking for, while one or two discover that childhood dreams can come true.
