The Witches’ Own – Just Released

Just in case you haven’t quite gotten Halloween out of your system, here is one more chilling tale for you. The newly revised edition of The Witches’ Own has just been released and is available at Cornerstone, Amazon, and most other online book and eBook retailers.

The Witches’ Own

On the surface, things seem quiet and serene in the picturesque coastal village of Kilmarnock, Virginia. But something unseen roams its lush forests as the past and present collide and the unthinkable begins to wreak its vengeance. Young Lucy Bonner is executed for witchcraft in the town’s distant and brutal past. Her death triggers an unholy chain of events which grasp at the restless heart of novelist Peter McQuade, spurring him towards a quest to uncover the dark and terrifying truth.

The Astral Plane – Foreword

Recently, as a bit of a change of pace, I wrote a foreword for the Cornerstone Book Publishers edition of The Astral Plane by C.W. Leadbeater. Leadbeater was a fascinating figure, originally a young English minister, who became one of the leaders, along with Helena Blavatsky and Annie Besant, of the Theosophy Society towards the end of the nineteenth century. In The Astral Plane, Leadbeater gives a rather matter-of-fact roadmap through the Astral Plame, a place he describes as the closest spiritual dimension to our physical sphere. It’s a fascinating and enlightening read for anyone even remotely interested in esoteric studies.

The Broken Vow – Newly Revised Edition

Just in time for Halloween, the new edition of The Broken Vow is now available at Cornerstone Book Publishers, Amazon and most other online book and eBook retailers. I hope you’ll check out this pivotal episode in the adventures of my favorite lycanthrope Ethan Garraint.

The Broken Vow

In the heart of every man, there is a history. In the heart of every monster, there is a story. In The Broken Vow, (the first installment of The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf), Ethan Garraint is on a vendetta that begins in the heart of the Pyrenees with the fall of Montségur and leads him to the streets of New Orleans nearly five hundred years later. But the person he chases isn’t really a man anymore, and Ethan has been a werewolf for almost a millennium. With the aid of a gifted seer, he is on a blood hunt that will culminate in a journey that crosses the line between heaven and earth and ends somewhere in between.

More Pandemic Poetry

Light

I think when there is nothing I can control
I am to learn to let go.
I think when I am drenched in fear
I am to learn to trust that there is safety.
I think when I feel my footsteps give way
I am to be still and know the quiet.
I think when I can’t see what is beyond
I am to learn to listen.
And in the stillness
I am to learn to be something new.

Pandemic Poetry

Well, a lot has happened lately. A rather substantial hurricane hit the New Orleans area, turning life upside down for a lot of people, and this pandemic has dragged on longer than I think anyone could imagine. In my own little world somewhere along the way, I started writing poetry again. I used to actually write it quite a bit. It’s very different, for me, from writing fiction or nonfiction. It’s sort of a quick, burst of creativity or emotion if you will. So, if you will indulge, I’ve decided to post one of my poems, from a building collection I call Pandemic Poetry.

Here We Are

And here we are
when it seems most quiet
when nary you can hear a pin drop.
And here we are, waiting for a sigh of relief
or that silent crash of a wave over our heads.
Have we all tripped into insanity
or has the worst really passed over,
because we want so much for it to?
Has it, has it really?
And have we taken all we should from this moment.
Have we done our very best,
or is all just careening around the corner?
Until we finally understand.

The Tethering: A Portent of Crows – Just Released!!

My new paranormal romance, The Tethering: A Portent of Crows, has just been released at Cornerstone Book Publishers, Amazon, and most other on-line print and eBook platforms.

Deborah Brandt’s beloved Aunt Gena always told her that she was special, a bit different, and would have to live her life unlike other people. Of course, this she disregarded as the ramblings of her lovely but notably eccentric aunt. Although there were the things that Aunt Gena said that seemed true — like Deborah being sensitive to energy shifts, having potentially psychic impressions, and dreaming of a spirit guide — none of it could be real. But the most ridiculous thing that her Aunt Gena told her before she died is that there is someone special out there for her. She said that he is an extraordinary man who is not only her perfect match but someone who she would learn from so that they could help the world in difficult times. How ridiculous! It sounds like a fairy tale, and no such person exists.

Daniel Wren is unique. He has been raised and trained from a young age to hone his psychic gifts. He lives in a world unimagined by most. And he has been waiting for years to contact his counterpart, soulmate if you will. But the problem is that she is painfully unaware of the type of life that he lives and the life she would be entering into if they came together.

His dilemma becomes how best to proceed. How can he win her over and move forward before outside forces take that decision away from him?

The Prince Adept

I am pleased and so happy to announce this new release by an exciting author who just happens to be my son. The Prince Adept is a mesmerizing dark fantasy by Robert Leo Poll that plunges you into a magical but embattled landscape where the only hope for humanity lies in the hands of a desperate alliance of bedraggled and unlikely heroes. Take this epic and unforgettable journey this summer.

The book is now available at Cornerstone Book Publishers (Print $21.95 on Sale $17.56), Amazon, and Barnes and Noble, and the eBook ($3.99) at Kindle, The Nook, I-Tunes, Kobo, and many other on-line retailers.

2021

Deep within the murky depths of the ancient, ruined city known as Hiri Handi, a lost traveler gathers the last broken dregs of humanity into an alliance. The hope is to finally close the supernatural, primeval seal tied to the very heart of their world — a seal that was selfishly wrenched open long ago, plunging Hiri Handi into a horrific abyss of terror.

A story of monsters, magic, and madness, The Prince Adept is a dark tale centered around the subtle ties that bind all of humanity together.

Just Released – Appointment with the Unknown: The Hotel Stories

Searching for a little escapism? Or perhaps just a bit of a shift in the way you look at things. Well, I’m happy to announce that Appointment with the Unknown: The Hotel Stories has just been released on Cornerstone and Amazon.

A hotel for most represents a normal place, a predictable realm of commonality. One might even go as far to say a safe space, the reliable, where nothing particularly unusual is expected to happen. Or is it?

Drop into a collection of romantic paranormal stories where that place of commonality is only the threshold, the jumping off point for extraordinary adventures into the unknown.

In “Too Many Pens,” an artist finds a very routine stay at a hotel slowly transforming into a place of romance and mystery. “Slipping” is the story of a young woman finding herself threatened by unexpected interdimensional attacks. Two unique travelers find love and themselves trapped in a French Quarter hotel during an unexpected tropical tempest in “The Storm.” In, “The Armstrong,” two people from different eras try to bridge the gap of time itself in an old historic hotel. “Variables” tells the story of a dimension traveler battling to rescue a man from a devastating fate. And “Hotels in the Time of Covid,” explores a relationship between a news reporter and her spirit guide.

Follow the unpredictable lure of the supernatural in this collection of Hotel Stories.
