Hell to Pay - Book Trailer

Special thanks to Michael Wa and Brian Burns.

Shameless self promotion

my so-called apocolyptical life



This spring we've had madmen whispering of the Apocalypse, storms carving death and destruction all across the United States, and an economy breaking the backs of Americans.  This is the setting of "Hell to Pay" coming August 15, 2011 from Hellfirepublishing.com. 

In Ashton, Kansas the economy left years ago with the closing of the main factory in town.  Now, the homeless whisper of a coming darkness and the end of the world, streetside preachers talk of devils walking among them, and the only way they see to combat this threat is purification by fire.

Can a corrupt police department handle the new threat of these harbingers of the Apocalypse?  Will a battle between ancient storm gods destroy Ashton?  Will salvation come from a lapsed alcoholic detective?  There will be . . . Hell to Pay.

I am not a movie maker

Don't take that as a slide on the industry.  I've been attempting to shoot a book trailer with the help of a film maker.  I've ben playing with the editing and have something, but the problem is, in writing you go back and edit, rewrite, perfection.  Filming, shoot, shoot again, reshoot, edit for content, and try again.  I hope to have something out by first of June.

love this . . .

Storm season

After a week of real horror due to the "horrific and violent acts of nature" witnessed this week.  NPR's "The Writer's Almanac" http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/index.php?date=2011%2F04%2F29 gave a perfect poem: Mother by Ted Kooser.  Hit the link above to see or hear it.

These lines are awesome:

a storm that walked on legs of lightning,
dragging its shaggy belly over the fields.
