I'm often asked what books/authors I would recommend
from readers who have read all of my books and are looking for more good
reads. If you're one of those folks and are looking for a good read, I
have provided my top 40 picks for novels by some of my favorite
authors. Enjoy.
Picture this. I’m standing in front of an eager throng of reporters. I’m well dressed and looking far more metrosexual than usual. All eyes are on me, desperate for information…about someone else—Jeremy Bishop. Who is this dashing writer who appeared out of nowhere and became a #1 Amazon.com horror author overnight? His first novel, TORMENT, is loathed by an angry few and adored by many. But he’s a mystery. No one knows who he is, or where he came from and yet, I know him, I promote his books, and claim to be his “friend.” It’s reminiscent of how Peter Parker always happens to get the best pictures of Spiderman. So the questions come to the only potential source of information available to the world. Me. And the question everyone is asking is: Who is Jeremy Bishop?
Every now and then I feature a book by a friend, in this case Jeremy Bishop, whose novel, TORMENT, was previously featured here. Bishop is back with his second novel, THE SENTINEL, and it’s as awesome as the first, but far less serious and is, at times, as funny as it is frightening. And a lot of our mutual fans will be happy to know that the ending in THE SENTINEL won’t make readers as…angry? Rage-filled? Consumed with personal guilt? Heh. Story description is below, but don’t even bother reading it. Just go buy it! If you like my books, you’re going to feel right at home with Bishop… E-book only right now, but I hear print is coming by October.
CALLSIGN: KING is the first of five novellas, each one focussing on a different member of the Chess Team. Like the full length novels, these stories are fast-paced and full of myths, monsters and mayhem. Each book is co-authored by one of five different authors, each selected by me for their ability to write gripping fast-paced and scary stories combining ancient history, modern science and brilliant action sequences. If you’re a fan of the Chess Team novels, you’re going to love the novellas.
The second book of the Antarktos Saga is available now!
The brutalizing of Solomon Ull Vincent continues in The Last Hunter – Pursuit. New characters are introduced and things get intense as Solomon must now confront his personal demons along with the actual demons seeking to capture, break and remake him. I’m hoping to have book 3 (of five) out this fall and the final two books out in 2012. The Hunter series is the best of all my books, containing the same brutal action as my other novels, but with a strong first person voice and a lot more heart and a fantastical world that really lets my imagination run wild.
If you’re one of the majority that does not yet own an e-reader, THE LAST HUNTER – DESCENT is now available to you. The book can be ordered via any bookstore or from Amazon and B&N. What’s great about the timing of this announcement is that just ONE HOUR ago, I finished the second book in the Antarktos Sage, THE LAST HUNTER – PURSUIT, which should be available in all e-book formats AND print, in June.
