Cover art � Library of Gold
My editor over at Gold Eagle was kind enough to send the art for my latest Rogue Angel adventure, Library of Gold, due out in early 2012.Ìý The storyline deals with the search for Ivan the Terrible lost library, so I think the artwork is especially appropriate.

The Great Undead War series
While hunting around online tonight, I found a catalog from Harper Voyager that includes the first cover copy I've seen for my forthcoming novel, By The Blood of Heroes, book one of the Great Undead War series.Ìý Not sure if it is final copy (in fact, I'm reasonably sure it isn't, as the issue with the drilling vehicle changed in a later draft) but it certainly gives a sense of what the book is about.
Take a gander and let me know what you think�

An alternate history zombie novel set during World War I that blends the take-no-prisoners heroic grit of Inglorious Basterds with the irreverent inventiveness of Dawn of the Dead�
Ìý
At the end of 1917, the increasingly desperate Germans introduce a new gas to the battlefield: T-Leiche � "corpse gas" � that radically alters the face of the war. Unlike other chemical weapons that attack the living, T-Leiche resurrects the bodies of the dead, giving the enemy an almost unlimited, if not quite fresh, source of troops.
When legendary Allied pilot and war poster-boy Major Jack Freeman is shot down and taken captive by the Germans, veteran Captain Michael "Madman" Burke is the only man fearless and wild enough to try to rescue the American Ace. With a small squad of heroes � his right-hand man Sergeant Moore, Clayton Manning, the filthy rich big-game hunter turned soldier, and professor Dan Richards, Tesla protege and the resident authority on all things supernatural � Burke must traverse the putrid ground of no man's land to infiltrate the enemy's lines.
Using an experimental drilling vehicle, the team faces incredible danger and finds risk and peril at every turn, including ruthless traitor smugglers and marauding bands of the Kaiser's undead. But only when they arrive at the prison camp is the true importance of their mission unveiled�

Interview with Hellnotes
After the Hellnotes gave Eyes to See a couple of weeks ago (which you can read in all its praising glory), I was more than happy to answer a few interview questions for editor Sheila M. Merritt when she later asked.Ìý
The interview is now live over at the and in it you can learn where the characters of Whisper and Scream came from, as well as what you can expect from book two in the Chronicle of Jeremiah Hunt, King of the Dead.Ìý Happy reading!

More Than Life Itself audio book now available
How far would you go to save someone you love?
Sam Dalton is at the end of his rope. His daughter, Jessica, lies dying in a hospital bed from a mysterious disease that has her doctors completely baffled. Without being able to identify the disease or its cause, they are unable to devise a cure and can offer Sam little hope. All he is left to do is sit there and watch his little girl wither away, day after day.
Despair has him wrapped tightly in its bony grip when an encounter with an empty-eyed vagrant he dubs the Preacher gives Sam the opportunity he has been searching for, a chance to bring his precious daughter back from the brink of death. He doesn't know who the Preacher is, or if the Preacher is even human, but Sam doesn't care. All he can see is the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
If he's strong enough to do what needs to be done.
How far would you go to save someone you love? Sam Dalton is about to find out.

New Release � Cradle of Solitude
One mystery could change the fate of a nation�
The skeletal remains of a confederate soldier, hidden deep within the Paris Catacombs. The legend of a long-lost Confederate treasure. An aged scrap of paper that reads simply, Berceau de solitude—Cradle of Solitude.
It was sheer dumb luck, really. Archaeologist Annja Creed happened to be in Paris when the bones of the soldier were discovered. But this was no ordinary soldier—this man was the keeper of a treasure that could have affected the outcome of the American Revolution. Somewhere, the treasure waits to be claimed.
Now Annja is unraveling a 150-year-old mystery and a trail of clues that will lead her across the ocean and deep into the heart of the Old South. But she isn' t the only seeker of this treasure. Someone else wants it—bad enough to kill anyone who stands in their way�.

The Heretic Audio Book
At the end of the First Crusade, the church created a monastic military order known as the Knights Templar. Now, rising up from the ashes of history, they are the Vatican's last defense in the war between good and evil�
Cade Williams is no ordinary man. His ability to cross over to the other side makes him uniquely qualified to command the Church's special operations division. As a modern-day Knight, Cade can use the curse that has scarred his soul as a weapon against the forces of darkness. But a new kind of unholy war is brewing � and soon Cade may be the last man standing…between the living and the dead.
The desecration of Templar cemeteries has sparked a full-scale investigation. Cade and his team suspect that a cabal of necromancers is behind it all. Their purpose: to claim the legendary powers of a lost holy relic for their own ungodly campaign. For Cade, there's only one way to stop them � by tracking the dead himself…crossing the most sacred of battle lines…and facing his own terrifying demons.
