So far the feedback on Lightfall has been gratifyingly positive. There has been, however, a category of complaint I’ve heard more than once, so I probably need to address it here–especially since it’s not so much a response to my book as a feeling about me. The comment is usually phrased something like this: “I…

You ask, I’ll show up, read and sign. It’s that simple. So here are some upcoming “This Is Our Apocalypse” events: Tuesday, 1 December at 3:00 p.m., the Olympic College Bookstore in Bremerton. The refreshments and signature are free; the book (should you choose to buy one) isn’t. This one’s kinda fun ’cause I teach…

This entry will be more of a status update than anything else, as I’m trying to give my friends and family a respite from the relentless shilling they’ve endured for the last few weeks. I did have my first reading/signing last Friday, the direct result of which is Lightfall was the number one selling book…

Michael Stiefel, an associate of Martin Luther, confidently predicted the world would end with Christ’s coming and judgment on 19 October 1533, at 8:00 sharp in the morning. I’m not sure if that was Zulu, German, or Palestinian time. Many European luminaries including Isaac Newton were deeply concerned the world would end in 1666. It…

Yes, you, Gentle Reader. I’m looking right at you. You! See, probably more than you realize, Lightfall‘s success depends overwhelmingly on you. That’s because Fear Nought, while awesome in so many exciting ways, suffers in one important area from the unavoidable sin of being new: Its books aren’t listed in Ingram yet. You’ve probably never…

I’m still pretty stoked about my very first author signing, November 13 at Orca Books in beautiful downtown Olympia. I noticed this afternoon that Orca’s website refers to me as “Bremerton’s Swift.” I can live with that! More testimonials like that, please. I love it! My current employer, Olympic College in Bremerton, will host a…

There are people who believe the world will end in 2012… …Why wait? You’re all very happily invited to my first author signing, Friday, November 13 at 6:00 p.m., Orca Books in Olympia. Tell a friend! Let’s overrun the place! The End of the World is underway! View and sign the Fear Nought Evite here!

It thrills me to announce that you may now pre-order your very own copy of Lightfall by clicking here. The book is only $21.95 in first-printing hardcover, and you will not be charged for delivery on pre-orders. (You will, however, be charged today, rather than at time of delivery. That’s because Fear Nought processes its…

Welcome to Sugar Roses, Oklahoma, population eighteen thousand, give or take, depending on whether Southern Oklahoma State University is in session. And here’s a handy street map, courtesy of the Sugar Roses Chamber of Commerce and the good people at Scooter’s Stop-n-Git, corner of Anderson and Main–where you’re not just a customer, you’re family! Why…

Okay, so I have a confession to make: There is no Zack Heath. Or rather, there are hundreds of Zack Heaths out there–I even know one in California–but the “Zack Heath” introduced below bears no relation to any of them. He’s a resident of “Sugar Roses, Oklahoma,” the focal point of my novel, Lightfall. About…
