Tornadoes Ate My Blog Posts!

Tornadoes Ate My Blog Posts!

Sorry no updates as promised this weekend, but I live in the area of the country that got absolutely spanked by tornadoes recently. Without phones, internet or even electricity, the only way I could have gotten through to you folks is by smoke signal or carrier pigeon.

I'm not proficient in the former or an owner of the latter, so ... delays.

New book samples, and other goodies, soon!

So what's it all about?

What's Ye Gods! : Child of Chaos all about, you ask?

Here's a blurb by way of explanation:

One minor god, one major mission: Seize control of Mount Olympus.

Risking his eternal life has never been such fun!

Momus, god of Sarcasm, must use all of his guile and cunning to undo the terrible mess caused when a coup on modern-day Mount Olympus unseats mighty Zeus and installs greedy Plutus and gluttonous Bacchus as the new co-rulers of the gods. With his friend Anteros (the god of Broken Hearts) in tow, Momus must plot, sweet-talk and connive his way to the ultimate prize: dominion over the worlds of both gods and men.

Take a ride with the wise-cracking schemer as he goes on a wild adventure leading to the four corners of the supernatural world - and beyond.

"YE GODS!:Child of Chaos", is now available for Kindle. Ye gods will be pleased if you click for more information!

Ye Gods! : Child Of Chaos Book Excerpt

Want to sample some of my writing style before you check out the details for Child Of Chaos?

Here's a taste, from Chapter One:

  The ground had, at long last, stopped shuddering.

  Momus sat some way down the mountain from its Olympian palaces, now
shrouded in turbulent gray clouds.  He shifted his weight uneasily on the
rough rock, cast a short glance up the mountainside to its summit, then
rested his chin on his fist and sighed.

  Surely, he thought, some of the other Olympian gods had survived. 
Not that he wanted to actually see any of them; that much had
not changed.

  But he could hear no sounds from above; none of the angry shouting,
the accusations and recriminations that had filled the air an hour earlier.

  Just before the thunderbolts had started flying. 

  And how they had flown!  One after the other, lancing with
prescient accuracy from the fingertips and palms of beleaguered
Zeus, ripping with thunderous ferocity into the bodies of
gods far more powerful than Momus.

  Even they seemed surprised by the raw fury Zeus unleashed
upon them; one deity after another, pain-wracked bodies
silhouetted black against the brilliant electric flashes, hurled
like straw-filled dolls against the white marble walls of
the throne room...
