Well, here we are, almost two weeks into the New Year, and I'm finally making my first blog entry of 2013. And I'm happy to report that the year's started with some very positive news. Firstly, the alarmingly talented narrator Wayne Farrell and I recently received a terrific review of the audiobook edition of my BrokenWorld short story collection. It was so good to see Wayne getting the kudos he deserves for his work, as he really is that good. And, of course, it was lovely to see that someone enjoyed and "got" those stories as much as the reviewer seemed to. All in all a very gratifying response to our efforts, and I'm very grateful to the Narrator Reviews blog site.  I was also thrilled to find the cover for The End of theWorld has been nominated on a Pinterest page for Awesome Self-published Book Covers . The page was set up as an antidote to a very mean-spirited blog site that was ridiculing what it considered to be the worst self-publi...

Yes, that's right; the audio book edition of "BrokenWorld {Omnibus}" is now available for purchase at Audible.com , Amazon and iTunes. It is, of course, narrated by the confoundingly talented Wayne Farrell , who lent his vocal skills to the audio book version of "The End of the World" so brilliantly earlier this year. So spread the word and grab a copy for yourself and all of your friends and family , your neighbors,  vague acquaintances, complete strangers, and...well, just about anybody, really. In nationwide taste tests it's been proven to be the audio book most ears prefer listenin g to, so start hammering that "Buy now with 1-Click  ®" button right away!  And le t's face it, what's better than a few well-chosen MP3s to pad out those Christmas stockings. It's available for $6.95 on Audible.com, or you can pick it up on Amazon for the ridiculously generous discounted price of $6.08. And, of course, if you feel like try...

Yes, that's right!  Broken World will soon become available in audiobook format. The three darkly humorous dystopian stories that make up Broken World will be narrated by the mind-bogglingly talented Wayne Farrell , who used his extraordinary talents to such great effect on the audio edition of The End of the World . I've already heard a sample of what Wayne's been up to with this book, and I can tell you it's going to be a fantastic finished product. So, with the holidays coming up, don't forget to put a few audiobooks of mine on your wish list, because nothing says "Christmas" more than dark, disturbing visions of a world in decay! Ho, ho, ho!

I've just released my latest collection " BrokenWorld " on Amazon, which consists of three darkly humorous dystopian short stories set in a world gone wrong. Are these tales a harbinger of the future of our planet or a testament to what's already taken place? Perhaps they're both. I hope you'll check it out and decide for yourself... Broken World : Three strange and darkly humorous dystopian tales of a world gone wrong: Cafe Grotesquerie In a broken world there exists a strange and sinister eating establishment unlike anything known or imagined - referred to in some quarters as Cafe Grotesquerie - where only the most discriminating and well-connected are privileged enough to enter its doors and devour its dark delicacies. Once inside, however, status still reigns supreme, and for one particular couple - Audrey and Aubrey - a hunger for power proves far more desirable than anything on the menu. But when confronted by a supercilious sommeli...

The next installment from the Broken World collection is out now! Foreign Bodies is a darkly humorous dystopian short story that is part political commentary, part dark satire. Foreign Bodies is adapted from the stage play I wrote of the same name, way back in 2004, which was originally produced in New York by Emerging Artists Theatre in the spring of 2005. At the time I wrote it there was a conflict going on that I was deeply opposed to and had been since before its inevitable onset. The play was intended as a futuristic, blackly humorous vision of the result of this conflict, where the spoils of war were likely to blow up in your face. Interestingly, though, my dark vision of a future where people vacation at hotels located in war-torn areas of the world has now seemingly come to pass to some degree, which, in case you didn't see it, you can read about here . Anyway, here's a little more about Foreign Bodies : Victoria and Max have just arrived at their ho...

The next story in my Broken World collection will be Foreign Bodies , the cover of which I'm revealing here. This is the second of my darkly humorous, dystopian short stories that depict a world gone wrong, a world gone mad, a world that is broken. Part political commentary, part dark satire, Foreign Bodies should be published and available in the Kindle Store sometime over the next two weeks. Stay tuned!

Yes, it’s a new book release! Broken World 1: Café Grotesquerie is a darkly (pitch black) humorous dystopian short story and is the first release from the forthcoming Broken World collection. A very special thank you to my phenomenal beta reader in helping me get this little tale fit for print! I do hope you’ll check it out. It can be found here in the U.S and here in the U.K. There’ll be another release from this collection very soon, so if you enjoy this, please stay tuned!
