\nThis week I want to let you know that we’ve added the first chapter<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong> of Raven’s Bane<\/em> to Creatures.<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only will you enjoy my twisted creations, but you’ll be treated to the first view into the sequel to Ravens in the Sky<\/em> (of which you can get a free e-book version <\/a>through July). Darker, deeper, more disturbing… but maybe more hopeful? <\/strong><\/p>\n

So please, grab RITS for free<\/a>, pre-order Creatures<\/a> for a buck, and let me know what you think about the first chapter of Raven’s Bane!<\/p>\n

Thank you for your contributions to the “diaper fund”!<\/p>\n
