In 2017, I wrote and published a novella called Dead Trees Give No Shelter. It’s a supernatural horror story about a man who is haunted by the memory of his younger brother’s death when they were children. In my story, he returns to the town he grew up in, looking for some closure and resolution to his brother’s senseless death, and he finds much, much more than he was expecting.
It gets really wonderful reviews on Goodreads (3.99/5.0), which is pretty cool, and a nice surprise for me, because I never looked until just now.
If you’re intrigued (and I hope you are), you can get it on Kindle, as an audiobook that I narrated, from Overdrive, or from me directly in multiple formats with no DRM.
It hasn’t been available in print, because I didn’t think it was a big enough piece of work to justify the expense and time involved in putting together a print run, but that’s about to change.
Earlier this year, I read this novella from Stephen King called ELEVATION. It didn’t feel too small to be in print, and I didn’t feel like I’d spent too much money on it, so I decided to take a chance, and hired my pal Will Hindmarch to do a hardback book design for me. He put together something beautiful and special, that I just love.
It’s going to be a very short print run, of just 250 books. I just uploaded the files for the printer, so it should be available in a few weeks. Normally, I wouldn’t say anything until it was ready, but I’m super excited to share this, and I hope 250 of you will be as excited to have a copy of your own.
I have never gotten into ebook or audio books and I would love to get a copy to go with the signed hard copy of The Happiest Days of Our Lives that I was able to purchase from you recently. Let me know when & where! Thanks!
I would also like to put my name on the list for a copy, if possible.
Any update on a release date?
By the end of the month, for sure. I have the books in my office, and I’m just working out the best way to sell and distribute them. There’s a nonzero chance I get it worked out by the end of this week, but no promises.
Thanks for the reply Wil, can’t wait to order. By the way, I really miss Table Top.
Yass, this is awesome. Thanks for the work that’s gone into this 🙂
