The fifth book in the Eddie McCloskey books, The Traveler, will be out soon. I'm working with my editor on the final draft and we're pushing hard to get a March release.
Eddie is still reeling from what happened to him in The Hysteria. Out of respect for the spoiler, I won't go into details about that book (it's still fairly new!). As I've done with this series and what readers seem to really enjoy, Eddie evolves from one book to the next and to remain true to that I couldn't ignore the traumatic events in #4.
So readers will be treated to the good, old Eddie they know and have come to love, only this Eddie is suffering from new psychological issues, which will have a major impact in this story.
In The Traveler, Eddie is not only hunting a ghost. He's also hunting the person that is helping the ghost kill. It's a fun, scary, fast read and we get to peer deeper into Eddie's psyche than ever before. Look for it soon!

The New Book Is On Goodreads
Language of the Bear
I am super-freaking-excited. The latest book, the best book I've been a part of (so far), is up on Goodreads and out next month.
We're still working with our kick-ass designer on the cover, and we'll have a reveal of that soon. But for now, if you're interested in the book please add it to your TBR on Goodreads. It'll help us build interest leading up to the e-release next month on Amazon.

Nate Green is a good friend and a gifted writer. We've both been chasing this crazy dream of writing fiction for a living for awhile. A few years back, we were in his truck, talking about stories and writing and how exciting and difficult and frustrating and interesting the process was and somewhere in that conversation we got the crazy idea to write a book together.
That book eventually became Language of the Bear.
A collaboration really appealed to me. I looked forward to doing something that for years had been a solitary, banging-your-head-against-the-wall pursuit. Working with Nate on a story he was totally invested in also gave me a great sounding board for ideas, character arcs, and story-telling. I hope I've been as helpful to him as he's been to me.
We settled on a historical novel, a good old-fashioned adventure that reminded us of the books we'd read growing up, with one notable qualification. We agreed early on we weren't going to whitewash history and we weren't going to give the characters modern sensibilities. The world would be as it was: increasingly short, often nasty, and sometimes brutish.
We shopped Language of the Bear to agents and editors and got this close several times, which was both encouraging and frustrating. But nobody bit. We passed it around to friends and family and they told us it was great, but of course you have to take the opinions of loved ones with a healthy dose of skepticism. The book, as much as we liked it, seemed doomed to live out its life on our computers.

Meanwhile I'd made the decision to indie publish my solo projects, and in particular my paranormal thrillers. Readers slowly but surely found The Unearthed series and once I started to see (very modest) success with it, Nate and I discussed the possibility of indie pubbing Language of the Bear as well. Eventually we decided it was a good idea. As I've said with my own books, the best judge of the work is the reader and this way readers will let us know if it's any good. ;-)

Nate and I had such a great time writing the book together, we decided to make it into a series and start another series as well. More to come on those books, but we're hard at work on them.
