The biggest news is I am am to release Alice in 9 Circles of Wonderhell which is a story of a normal girl named Alice who descends into hell with her friends to complete a mission that will save the world. She and her group must travel through 9 circles of hell where they meet familiar characters and fight evil as they go. It is a terrifying visage of hell, some cheeky humor, a coming of age tale, and an adventure like none other. *********************************************** Also, be prepared for some bayou fun with Louisiana Saturday Night. When a hurricane devastates New Orleans, rouge sharks under a voodoo spell are not the only predators hungry for human flesh! The Audettes from the swamp and the Theriots from the ritzy part of town are about to have to work together. As the battle to survive the threats ramps up, know that the only sure thing is that the gumbo will be hot enough to strip paint off a barn and the good time will roll...or maybe that is heads will roll. ************************************************* Next? Oh it's time to bring the dinosaurs in . Forget Area 51; the government had a bigger secret and it has giant teeth, a long tail, and its in a bad mood. Also in the works are books about werewolves, blood thirsty vampires, and another edition of X is for Xombie. The summer of 2013 is going to be brutal! **************************************************** All that Remains, a collection of all catt's shortstories peppered with tales from Mark Woods, Tl Decay and Nick Hatfield is also on the way. ****************************************************** I also appear in this anthology: Here and proceeds go to teh Wounded Warriors Project.
About Smooth :
Beside the still water...the zombies roam. A slightly different take on the zombie genre, Smooth asks if the world be better if we were all neutral and complacent (without violence, greed, hatred, and yes, love and compassion) as parts of our personalities? The road to absolute peace is filled with more than just bumps and gravel when catt dahman tells it; heads will roll...literally. The town of Cold Springs is about to receive the gift of full serenity and some people intend to fight it (as well as the zombies) all the way to the end! Rain is turning ordinary citizens of the small town into crazed killers and then wiping out their entire personalities. The survivors must avoid the rain, fight the zombish creatures, stay away from the flood waters, and somehow work together as the rising water not only isolates them but also takes their supplies. Can anyone survive? Will they all go smooth? Here is what is about to be released in the next two months. Z is for Zombie series is now under contract with Severed Press and they are designing some excellent book covers for all of them! Stay tuned for the Severed Press release of those books as well.
Now is the time we make promises we'll never keep and get ideas to start something or stop it. I think very little stick to a plan. This year, I am not promising myself anything huge. Last year, in 9 months, I managed to get 15 books out that I had in manuscript, handwritten form (2 short story collections, a 9 book series about zombies,2 vampyre/westerns and two horror novels) That is pretty much a big deal to be that prolific! Most are both e-reader form or in paperbacks and the rest are about to go paperbacks as well.
What do I worry about? Like any writers, I worry and wonder if the next novel is in me. Will I have ideas and get the books written? I have three on the burners right now. I have a good 3-4 in my head as ideas. I may even write another zombie book like my nephew wants me to (he picked the title and ideas so TY to Harrison for his brilliant ideas) I also am helping edit an amazing short story collection by Nic Hatfield and May collaborate with him on an idea he has for a book that is truly the next HUGE book. I worry that I can't do it justice as it is bigger than me by far! I plan to release at least 7 books this next year. I am so thankful I am happy to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week doing this. I want to pay more attention to the writing of some friends who are amazing writers: Graham Masterton, Joe McKinny, Kealan Patrick Burke, Rhiannon Frater, Bowie Ibarra, and Jason Christie. I promise and resolve I will be as gracious as they are and work as hard as they do.I will thank my copy editor more and praise my agent. I will behave and do as my PR agent says.13 is my number and in 2013, i resolve to be a better writer. And I resolve to try to write something that isn';t splatter punk or cannibalistic (Lord how I try not to go to those themes but do so anyway). I resolve to write because it's what I do. I hope the rest follows. I don;t need to get rich or famous from writing, but I do need to entertain and scare the pants off all I can! Happy New Years! |
