Grab my latest book for only $.99

I’ve never tried the book newsletter promotions before, so here goes. I’m promoting the book on all the discount ebook sites. Let’s see if it moves the needle…Starting today and through Sunday, 2/25 — the ebook version of Research Randy and the Mystery of Grandma’s Half-eaten Pie of Despair is marked down from $3.99 to only $.99. If you have been thinking about picking it up, this is a better price than you can even get at a dollar store.

It’s a steal and you can find it on any bookseller site (not just you-know-who).

An Evening with Tom Lucas at the Kerouac House

The video from my recent author talk is now available!

Put together by the awesome John King (the Drunken Odyssey podcast), this evening at the Kerouac House (Orlando, FL) gave me the opportunity to revisit previous works and read a little from the new book, Research Randy and the Mystery of Grandma’s Half-eaten Pie of Despair.

(Which could use some reviews on Amazon or Goodreads, if you are so inclined)

Although no one sat in the front row, I assure you that there was a room full of people in front of me…at least I think so.

Check out my appearance on The Drunken Odyssey Podcast

The Drunken Odyssey is a forum to discuss all aspects of the writing process, in a variety of genres, in order to foster a greater community among writers. It’s been around a good while now. In fact, I’m episode #600!

Host John King, is thoughtful and fun, and I never know what’s going to happen when I sit down to speak with him.

Episode 600 of The Drunken Odyssey, your favorite podcast about creative writing and literature, is available on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or click here to stream (right click to download, if that’s your thing).

Now Available! Research Randy is now on the case!

Today is the day! Research Randy is officially on the case. Man, how I have waited for this one.

Here’s what reviewers are saying:

“Like the tales of H. P. Lovecraft that serve as inspiration, it’s weird, frightening, and at times, doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense. For some, this book will likely leave them wondering what they just read, and not necessarily in a good way. But the fact that it is weird, frightening, and at times, doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense is entirely the point.” The Fandom Post

“What starts out as a slightly left-of-centre pastiche of Encyclopedia Brown meets the Hardy Boys, it takes very little time for it to devolve into an incredibly dark Cyclopean Nightmare meets Lovecraft and Bierce and Chambers.” – Tobin Elliot, author of The Aphotic hexalogy

“If you enjoyed reading Goosebumps or Encyclopedia Brown, and shivered at the tales of H.P. Lovecraft, or loved choosing your own adventure (yeah, there’s a nod to that, too!) then Research Randy & The Mystery of Grandma’s Half-Eaten Pie of Despair will give you the feels and leave you longing to go back to that simpler time in your life…read this one before it’s too late!” – HorrorNews.net

“This pitch-perfect comedic mash-up becomes a textbook example of how to play with both form and content without getting lost in the self-reflexive postmodern labyrinth of chasing one’s tail and never catching it.” – PopMatters

Now available at your favorite bookseller!

An Early and Positive Review for Research Randy

Advanced reader copies have been going out, and to my pleasant surprise, early reviews are coming in. At the end of the day, it’s reviews that sell books more than anything else. So yeah, I am stoked because this one is early, positive, and by a horror author. It’s nice to see that someone who is in your genre appreciates your work!

A quick taste and then you can check out the full review if you are interested by following the link below.

Okay, so this bizarre little book… What starts out as a slightly left-of-centre pastiche of Encyclopedia Brown meets the Hardy Boys, takes very little time to take a couple of non-Euclidian turns before devolving into an incredibly dark Cyclopean Nightmare meets Lovecraft and Bierce in the Robert W. Chambers of Pain and Despair.

— Tobin Elliot, author of the Bad Blood series.

Research Randy Release Date Revealed

BREAKING NEWS!

FILE UNDER: NO LONGER THEORETICAL

It’s as real as my regular bouts of existential dread…Research Randy and the Mystery of Grandma’s Half-eaten Pie of Despair will be released upon the world on Halloween 2023. Finally, when people ask me when the next book is coming out, I have a legit answer. In the relatively near future expect a cover reveal, pre-order link, reviews, interviews, podcast appearance, and all manner of obnoxious promotion (self and assisted).
