Back from the (un)Dead: The Oliver & Emalie Song
Way back in 2008, I wrote a song about my first book, Oliver Nocturne: The Vampire's Photograph. It used to be on my old website but when I changed sites I lost the file. Over the years, fans have asked me whatever happened to that song, and just recently someone found it on Youtube. Here it is! Crazy to hear this a decade later. Also can you tell I was listening to A LOT of Elliott Smith at the time?

Coming February 12th: THE SHORES BEYOND TIME
The final book in the Chronicle of the Dark Star trilogy is here!
Where are Liam and Phoebe?
Having barely made it through the battle at the Centauri system with their lives, Liam and Phoebe awake on a mysterious ship in the middle of a dead universe. The ship bears the markings of a human starliner that disappeared decades ago—but even more disturbing than that is the massive alien machine floating in the starless space before them.
A machine long abandoned but now showing signs of life. A machine that has begun speaking to Liam in a voice that only he can hear....
The thrilling conclusion to the Chronicle of the Dark Star is a stunningly imagined journey deep into the heart of the origins of our universe, as humanity wages a desperate fight to save its future, once and for all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR BOOK GIVEAWAY!
My Books -> Your Classroom or Library!
Hey, it's giveaway time again! Every time I publish a book, I get a box of author copies and inevitably, most of them end up in my office closet. One of my New Year's resolutions is to downsize, and I think these books would be much happier in classrooms and libraries!
OKAY READY? TEACHERS! LIBRARIANS! STUDENTS! PARENTS OF STUDENTS! Want some free books? YES YOU DO. All you have to do is comment on this page, or on the posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and I will send you your choice of up to 2 books (only one hardcover per person, alas, as I need them to fit into the padded mailers I have.)
Just leave a comment letting me know which books you want and for what school (and why those books, if you're so inclined) and also either WHERE TO SEND THEM or an email address where we can follow up. AND THEN I WILL SEND YOU THE BOOKS (I may need to send you second choices if I run out of stuff; we'll talk!)
Here are the available books:
Happy new year!
