Coming soon, paranormalist/adventuress Chantal Noir and Constable Arthur Pearce in my steampunk vampire story, "The Coppergate Killings."

Birthright

Bad Seeds: Evil Progeny

Coming from Prime Books on July 3rd, 2013, but available for pre-order now from Amazon.  This anthology features Christine's story, The Naughty List.

Unfathomable

What do Steampunk and Terrors Man Was Not Meant to Know have in common?  Steampunk Cthulhu (working title) from Chaosium Books.

Professor Patriot and the Doom That Came to Niceville

Another anthology of epic horror from the folks at Chaosium, this time set in the 1950s -- Atomic Age Cthulhu: Terrifying Tales of the Mythos Menace.

Imagine a world still where the biggest threat to freedom, capitalism and the American way of life isn't Communism, but from The Great Old Ones!  A world where superheores aren't all about superstrength and punching Stalin in the nose, but where tweed-wearing scholars battle against horrors from beyond, smacking their knuckles with enchanted yardsticks.

His Blood

Why do vampires hate the sight of the cross? The darkest secret of the past two thousand years is about to be revealed, as ancient evil and modern science combine to bring about a resurrection that could plunge the world into a new age of terror.  Coming in the Summer of 2013 from Belfire Press.

The Widow's Walk

Silver Doorway #6:
The Alchemist's Girl

All of the Broderick kids' previous adventures began when a visitor from another world came through the Silver Doorway. This time, they have a different problem! One of their friends from this side knows their secret, and when he goes through, they have to go after him before he gets himself in all kinds of trouble. But how can they find him on the crowded, chaotic streets of the city of Thanis?

Tell No Tales

Twelve ordinary Americans.

One isolated Caribbean island.

Half a million dollars in gold.

The contestants for the new historical-themed reality game show Pirate Adventure think they know what they're getting themselves into. The show's creator and the production team are confident that they have everything under control.

Sure, there have been a few problems. Equipment glitches. Accidents. Injuries. Illness. Routine setbacks, that's all. A run of bad luck. Certainly nothing more. Not, for instance, a curse.

Not, for instance, the spirit of Captain Smythe, reaching out from beyond the grave to punish those who've invaded his resting place. Not, for instance, the vengeful wrath of his spectral crew, seeking to protect their long-buried treasure.

It couldn't be anything like that. Or so the living keep telling themselves. Even after the disappearances … and the murders …

When a worsening world situation traps them on the island, the cast and crew will learn the hard way that challenges won't help, alliances don't matter, the votes mean nothing, and survival is very much at stake.
