CHIMERA FALLS Book Trailer Is Here!

We're just a'buzzing with new developments now, aren't we? First the hardcover release of THE CAIN LETTERS coming soon, then the cover reveal of the terrifying sequel.... And now this.

A book trailer, coming soon.

You may have already seen the book trailer for THE CAIN LETTERS. Prepared to get the chills. The nightmare isn't over.

Watch for the CHIMERA FALLS book trailer coming soon to your video screen. Watch it during the day.

Release Date Set for CHIMERA FALLS!

Alexandra Glade's ordeal definitely hasn't ended (for those who've read THE CAIN LETTERS, you know what I'm talking about). And for sure you've already seen the cover for the second book of the terrifying "Divine Covenant" series (just in case you haven't, here you go....)

And chances are, you've seen the book trailer for THE CAIN LETTERS on YouTube or Facebook! If you have, bravo.... Now all you got to do is buy the book!

But What You Haven't Seen, Yet, Is the Latest News....

And, no, I'm not talking about the soon-to-be-released hard cover edition of THE CAIN LETTERS (which very soon I'll announce when that one launches for purchase). Instead, I'm sure everyone's a'buzzin' about when this darn second book is going to be released, so you have at least a date in mind to look forward to. All I've mentioned is that CHIMERA FALLS will be released in June. But when?

Now I know when. I've decided. Father's Day. In dedication of my dad.

So Mark That on Your Calendars, People

June 19th. That's the day of darkness when CHIMERA FALLS will fall onto you like a battle-axe from Hell. Be prepared.

THE CAIN LETTERS Book Trailer Is Here!

THE CAIN LETTERS Book Trailer Will Debut Very Soon!

Wait.... What was that? you ask? A book trailer? You heard correctly.

I'm not revealing the exact debut as of yet, but it's coming soon. This is all hitting the literary industry like a ton of bricks as I had just recently spilled the beans on the hard cover special edition of THE CAIN LETTERS scheduled to launch very soon (don't worry, you'll find out when soon enough).

So It Begs the Question: Have YOU Read THE CAIN LETTERS, Yet?

If not, here's your chance to get just a little 'taste', a 'teaser', if you will. Don't go looking around YouTube or Facebook just yet, but soon enough I'll notify all that the book trailer just dropped for your viewing nightmarish pleasure.

So keep your eyes peeled. And know that the war of the damned will begin....

AND IF YOU HAVEN'T PURCHASED YOUR COPY OF THE CAIN LETTERS, DO SO RIGHT NOW ON AMAZON, B&N, KOBO, APPLE OR GOOGLE!

SHHH.... Pierre Roustan Has a Big Secret to Tell About THE CAIN LETTERS

I mentioned that these Letters are like your own Pandora's Box with fangs, right? Well, in the story, they are.

I Am Talking About a Big Secret About THE CAIN LETTERS, Though

Just don't tell anyone. Yet. Okay, maybe you can. And in case you're wondering what this insane drivel's all about, something about a 'secret', it's plainly obvious that I'm going to spill the beans on this.

What's this 'secret', you ask? What's the big deal? Why am I stirring this up like a vampire hornet's nest? I'll tell you why:

THE CAIN LETTERS WILL BE RELEASED IN HARD COVER

(Dead Silence....)

The NEWEST UPDATE: THE CAIN LETTERS Is Now in PAPERBACK!

It's true. Check out Amazon and Barnes & Noble for yourself. For those who love the ol' faithful smell of the almighty paper (I'm one of them), you can now purchase the world's most visceral vampire thriller out in the market in paperback.

Seriously? Yes, I'm Serious: THE CAIN LETTERS in Paperback Is for Real.

Additional retailers will also join the craze that is opening up the "Cain Letters," our new Pandora's Box of Hell, Hades, and any other proverbial wasteland of another world, as our Alexandra Glade faces a monstrosity of a saga. It's at least going to be a fun read, though....

(And, of course, you might be waiting on pins and needles for the debut of book II: CHIMERA FALLS)

BE SURE TO GET YOUR COPY TODAY

It's Been Done: the Results Are In. Now Let's See the Cover Reveal of Book II!

Thanks to all who put their guesses in on the trivia question about the "vampire with a soul" (which, by the way, the correct answer, of course, was Angel of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fame, not that it matters!).

Because each and every participant will be getting a free ebook copy of THE CAIN LETTERS right in their INBOX. Just for guessing. I know, I'm generous. I'm so generous that I'll hand over those free copies to anyone who continues to guess either on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter. Come one, come all. Don't be shy.

But That's Not Why You All Are Here.... Correct?

You want to see a little sumtin, sumtin, as far as the long-awaited release of the follow-up to THE CAIN LETTERS. Anyone purchased the book, yet? Anyone read it? Then you know this journey isn't over for the vampire hunter.

The journey continues in book II, and aside from the cover below, you'll see the title. What does it all mean? (picture Captain Kirk making that statement). So there you go. Look forward to this in June. It's going to be dark, disturbing, hectic, insane, vicious, vile and utterly filled with doom. And I certainly won't be leaving any spoilers here....

Saw That Trivia Post? Well, You'll Love This: Want to See the Cover of the Sequel to THE CAIN LETTERS?

Congrats to those Google+ guys and gals out there who tried their shot on the the trivia contest for a free copy of THE CAIN LETTERS. We had some glad winners ready and able to face the shadows and blood of Alexandra Glade's haunting and thematic intro into her darkly divine covenant with the revenants of old. You sure know your trivia on vampire films/literature/stories!

But That's Not What This Post Is About.... No, Sir!

It's time to move on to darker days. Anyone read THE CAIN LETTERS, yet, on Google, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Kobo, or Apple? If so, review it and then bite your nails. Because there will be a second coming. Obviously.

I'm teasing you, I know. You're correct in thinking that I'm dangling that bloody piece of meat above your feral heads. Want to read book II of the Divine Covenant series? Of course, you do.

You'll have to wait until June, though.... (Don't kill me).

HOWEVER.... There's Light at the End of This Tunnel

It's agonizing given I'm not even revealing the TITLE of this damned book, let alone the cover (and, yes, the cover's now complete.... NOW you hate me....).

But as usual, I'm feeling rather generous about what I want all of you to see for what's in store regarding our favorite sexy, sleek and destructive vampire hunter. You have to vote, though (yeeeessssss, it's another quiz). I put you all through Hell, don't I....

The Good News Is That EVERYONE Will Be a Winner With This One

How so, you ask?

I'm asking for at least 10 -- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, TEN -- people to give me their answer on this simple trivia question. If I can get ten answers, right or wrong, here's my surprise for you:

I NOT ONLY WILL AWARD ALL PARTICIPANTS WITH A FREE EBOOK COPY OF "THE CAIN LETTERS".... But a REVEAL OF THE COVER OF THE SECOND BOOK COMING IN JUNE.

You heard me. You're going to get to see what's coming. And it's going to be dark.

Ready to play? (as the Twisted Twins would say on "Hellevator.")

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name the ONE Vampire in Pop Culture Who ALSO Had a Soul (CLUE: the Bloodsucker Had the Hots for One Particular Vampire-Killing Cheerleader)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See? Easy.

Anybody who knows their TV vampires would get this. And even if you don't know the answer.... GUESS ANYWAY! DUH.

Now I WILL be posting this trivia question everywhere. Twitter. Google+. Facebook. Your forehead. Everywhere. So be sure to check it out. Think real hard. Give me an answer by comment, text, message, reply, response, anything. I want to know just how good you all are about your vampire lore.... Oh, yes.

And then I promise you.... You're going to see the reveal of Book II of the Divine Covenant series.

So that's all, folks. Stay sharp. Watch out for revenants. And never, ever let go of your blade. Because you'll never tell whether or not you're going to need it.

They're Here: THE CAIN LETTERS Have Officially Arrived

Well, partially. Kobo and B&N are still in the process of making it available, but it's underway! It's happened. They're here. THE CAIN LETTERS are here. Let the dark celebration begin.

Here's What You Should Do:

The next step in this wicked journey is to visit these payment links, buy the book, and submit a review. Say you hate it. Say you love it. Say it drove you crazy. Say it made you tranquil (hopefully not).

Buy It Here For the Amazon Kindle

Buy It Here From Google Play

Buy It Here From Apple iBooks

But Most of All....

Say it petrified you to some degree. Thrilled you. Put your back against the wall as you read thinking the monsters were going to reach out of the words and grab you. Go ahead and do it. I dare you.

Mostly, though, I want you to enjoy THE CAIN LETTERS this Christmas. And most definitely have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hours Away From THE CAIN LETTERS Debut All Over the World!

It's happening. It's reeeaaaally happening. Soon all will absorb the saga starting with THE CAIN LETTERS, that petrifying genesis of a dark soul emanating from some pit of despair like a waking vampiric giant. Scary, right?

And Here's a Quick Update on When You'll ACTUALLY Be Able to Buy It Anywhere (Google Play, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple, etc. etc.)

I originally set it for the 18th right on midnight, but there's a possibility that it will be later. And other retailers will be even later. So I'll keep you posted. That's the name of the game in the literary industry.

I'm not worried, however. It's on its way as we speak. Soon you'll be able to pop in on Amazon, B&N, or Google Play, and purchase the ebook. It most definitely will be ready for purchase before Christmas.

But Also Keep in Mind....

My special little promotion will still be in effect: 49 cents, that's all it will take.... And you can get the ebook right now. Simply leave a comment with your email, and I'll invoice you for payment. Upon payment, the ebook you shall receive, both in Kindle and epub formats.

Sound good? Good. Act now. Or you can wait until it's available everywhere! Your choice.

Whatever your choice, though, I'm happy to have you as a reader. Stop in at my author Facebook page as well as THE CAIN LETTERS page, and drop in at the Google+ profile, book and author pages also. I await your presence within the darkness....

The Ache Is Agonizing: The Debut of THE CAIN LETTERS Is Only 3 Days Away!

Are you going nuts? I'm going nuts. It's nerve-racking, really. Still, it's pretty sweet that I just recently was interviewed on some information about the book right here, and the segment's featured on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Scoop.It, the Tsu Network, and Pinterest.

But That's Not the Point of This Post, People.... I've Got a Special Surprise for You

This is so painful that I have to see what's out there. I want people to experience the saga that is THE CAIN LETTERS, delve into the cold, hard world that belongs to Alexandra Glade and the Berith Lochem, an existence of the damned waiting to swallow frail humanity like Christmas dinner. And, yes, the debut date is set for December 18th, 2015, but dagnabit.... I want to give some good people the opportunity to get this book before it officially debuts.

There's a waiting list. Simply comment your email address below. This waiting list may fill up pretty fast (I'm allowing only 20 readers on), and these readers will get THE CAIN LETTERS FOR A MERE 49 CENTS PURCHASE. Invoices will be sent and Kindle and epub versions will be delivered immediately -- before the book debuts.

Now I Repeat: This Won't Last Long. Because Come Midnight of the 18th, the Book Officially Goes on Sale EVERYWHERE

So act now.

Again, just comment below with your email address, and I'll send you your invoice.

The Kindle version and epub version of THE CAIN LETTERS will be yours for just 49 cents.

Call it my little gift to you this Christmas. And may all rest easy this cold winter (for now.... evil laugh....)

Word on the Google Hangout With Pierre Roustan Is Out

(Ahem), Twisted Twins, I'm looking at both of yooooouuuu....

Okay, enough joking around. Yes, the Google Hangout hasn't been used much, but it's definitely a great way to get to know readers, writers, and, well, horror fanatics. WE LOVE YOU ALL!

But This Won't Be Just a Little Chit Chat Session....

You know, like Craven's iconic "Scream" telephone call.

Yes, I like scary movies. I also like scary books. I'm sure many of the rest of you do as well. And I'm sure Drew here would've loved to deal with a scary book over a movie any day, especially given what we know happened to her. Sad.

Since this is about scary books.... (THE CAIN LETTERS), I'm going to show my love a lot for this Google Hangout. This isn't going to be just a chit-chat pick-the-brain sort of talk-talk boring kind of thing.

I'm so interested in getting to know potential readers, that all who participate in this Google Hangout.... (Wait for it).... Oh, Hell, I'll just say it: you're all getting a copy of the ebook THE CAIN LETTERS. Free. And, yes, before it officially debuts on the 18th of December.

How's that?

And One More Thing to Satisfy Your Cravings for Horror....

One participant in the Hangout of my choice will also get something else.... Aaaaaaaand that'll be something I'll reveal at the close of the Hangout :-). Sorry. I have to keep the suspense.

You won't be able to guess what it is....

So I hope to see all of you soon. I'll be on my phone using the camera, so it'll be pretty in-depth, real, personal (and let's hope it won't be bloody). Here's the link to the invitation yet again.

Do join. Don't be scared. I won't bite.

And the Winner Of #THECAINLETTERS Contest Is....

It amazes me how wildfire spreads when you post a 'contest' or 'quiz' or something like that on Google+ or Facebook. Like moths to flame. So it was a little overwhelming to see the response to the particular contest I had posted on the blog here to not only get a teaser of the upcoming book, THE CAIN LETTERS, but to get the full first chapter in its entirety if you just answered one question!

I had to refrain from 'voting' myself, because, well, I know the answer, of course! But it was great seeing many of the responses, and even after posting a deadline for when voting would stop, people still kept on voting!

I know you vamp crazies out there are blood-hungry, but that was a bit overboard! I loved it, though.... You're showing your love.

So Who Won the Contest for THE CAIN LETTERS?

I'm pleased to announce: one out of several was reachable enough for me to notify, one who actually got the answer right. And hopefully at this moment, he's reading the first chapter.

CONGRATULATIONS, DANNY, FROM BIERSACKLAND!

Enjoy. And I hope the work tantalizes your horrific taste buds enough to find out what else happens.

We're Getting There, People....

Less than a month away.... Those revenants of the undead are close. You can feel their cold breath on your skin. Their long fingers are ready to grasp your throat. Can you wait any longer?

You're going to have to....

COUNTDOWN TO #THECAINLETTERS: 25 DARK DAYS LEFT

(One More Thing)

Very soon, there will be another 'contest' -- THIS time, it's to win a free copy of the entire book.

Are You Ready for an Excerpt Teaser From #THECAINLETTERS?

I can't keep you waiting any longer.... The buzz is getting louder, isn't it? Yes, it is. And we can't wait for the wickedness to parade itself toward us and feast on our lifeblood. I mentioned a while ago that there was going to be a little bit of a 'teaser'....

So Do You Want One? You Want That Teaser of the Upcoming Novel "The Cain Letters," Debuting on the 18th of December?

Of course, here's the catch: you might notice that there's a bit of mystery behind this excerpt, plus another character I haven't even introduced. Obviously, the context's missing. But here's a little game -- a wicked game -- I want to play with you, and you can play that game right here, right now. But you can only play if you read the excerpt....

---------------------------------------------------

“You know, Miss Alexandra Glade, it will never end.”

She stopped, perplexed at his comment. “What?”

Cardinal Felix Delgado stared at her, darkened eyes cutting through the computer screen. Without the standard band collar around his neck, the Cardinal seemed an intimidating man himself, albeit an old one. Mostly, the scar gave him the air of bitterness and hardness, not typical of most holy men.

“Revenge.” he said.

Again, he never failed her. He always triumphed to cut her to the heart with one word, bringing her back out of the shadows to remind her that her life is her own in the light. The sick cycle of evil hardened most souls, contaminating everything good and noble with its pettiness and indifference. Good people raging against evil, hating hate, gnashing at the gnashing of teeth, it was an infection that described evil to a tee. It fed off of everything. And it seemed that the only way to conquer evil was to turn swords to plowshares.

She stared him down, eyes narrowed. “I will make it end.”

------------------------------------------------------

Oh, and one more thing....

(The winner of this game gets to read the full first chapter of the book in its entirety....)

Revealing the Main Characters of #THECAINLETTERS

Okay.... I couldn't resist. It had to be done. Like the bloodlust echoing in your dark veins does this craving to call out to the masses the reveal of the main set of characters to this novel. This creation of mine. A representation of the dark matter of my mind personified into some hellish demon.

Okay, Okay, I'll Get Off My Horrific Soapbox Already!

Yes. I'm long-winded. So I'll try and make this quick and painless. You may have seen throughout social media the tease of some characters featured in the upcoming book "The Cain Letters," book one of the "Divine Covenant" series. But here are now, I'm going to reveal the names of those characters. Only the names. That's it.

(You can't make me reveal anything more. You'll all just have to wait until the 18th of December. No ifs, ands or buts. Deal.)

• Kyan Tanaka -- Yep, that's that assassin's name you're looking at right here.
• Marcus Brennan -- Cherish the innocent look of this brainy college student, because you just might see his brains splattered all over the floor very soon (or not, you'll never know!).
• Breed -- Talk about a freakishly frightening revenant. With wings, too (and he's not even the main villain).

And, of course, our heroine. The reason why we're going to read this book. A pretty close interpretation of Alexandra Glade in all her glory. Vixen vampire hunter. Feast your eyes on her....

(and, yes, she does look a lot like a certain MMA legend now, doesn't she?)

So what does #AlexandraGlade from #THECAINLETTERS look like? This MMA legend comes pretty close.Like I said.... Don't mess with her.
