Graphic Audio introduces an Original Urban Fantasy trilogy available in no other format!

Jessica Shine is perhaps the most powerful magick user in the world. But even with all that power, she is trapped.

Trapped by the Midnight Project, a secret government agency charged with battling vampires, shape shifters and dark magicians. But in order to...

Received an email last night informing me that my audiobook short story, Carrion Man, had been voted a 2025 Spoken Staff Pick. Rather pleased with this award, to be honest.

Best part - you can listen to the story entirely free!

I'm participating in the beta launch of a new audiobook company called Spoken and have recently made two of my audio shorts available to listen to FREE at the site.

Must Read Urban Fantasy #7

I know it's been awhile, but I'm picking back up my "Must Read Urban Fantasy" series of blog posts after a bit of a hiatus and I'm starting with this post right here. Sometimes, absolutely excellent urban fantasy series by lesser known writers get lost in the shadows of the big boys (and girls!) and that is certainly the case of the subject of today's post.

Ever hear of Laura Caxton? How about Jameson Arkely?

Yeah, didn't think so. You need to rectify that oversight...

I'm participating in a promotion for paranormal and urban fantasy authors between now and February 17th. Visit the link below and download your choice of thirty different titles absolutely free simply by joining the authors' mailing lists.

Participating authors include:
Joseph Nassise - 2 titles
C. Gockel - 7...

It's a new year and I've got a shiny new website to go along with it!

This one was built using Author Websites by Bookbub and I'm quite happy to say that it was very quick and easy to build just the kind of site I wanted. Links to all of my books with purchase options, books divided by series and by edition type (ebook, print, audio), a blog available on the front page so visitors don't have to dig for it, and so on.

If you're an author and are looking for...

No sooner has HELLstalker One returned from their search for the missing scientists in Antarctica that they are thrown immediately back into the fray. There’s a possible new incursion they need to...

I have a lot of shorter works, both novellas and short stories, where it just isn't feasible to pay a narrator to produce them as audiobooks. Given the technology has reached the point where I can record and produce audiobooks without a full sound studio, I thought I'd try my hand at recording and releasing some on my own.

The first two selections - audio productions of my short stories Carrion Man and Down Among the Bosnian Dead - were launched via my Shopify store this morning. They're just...

On Friday,I'll be minting the NFT edition of Judgment Day in partnership with Book.io.

I handled cover art duties once again, with covers in the following categories: Templar Squad, Boggarts, Demon Streetwalker, Phantoms of Poveglia, Council of Nine Acolytes, The Ritual, Grand Master Deveraux, The Bell Tower, The Forsaken One, and...

The first time I caught Covid-19 was in April of 2020.

You remember those days, don’t you?

People were getting sick all across the world, but no one knew what to do about it. Here in the United States, President Trump declared a national emergency only a few weeks earlier on March 13th, the response to the pandemic was slow, to put it kindly. Disaster declarations were being made in state after state and deaths from the virus and its related symptoms were steadily increasing all over the...

Continuing the release of NFT editions of my Templar Chronicles series from Book.io, next up was Infernal Games. As with A Tear in the Sky, the exclusive cover art for this edition was created by yours truly and I'm proud of the variety I managed to bring to the table with this release.

For this edition, we offered 530 ebooks, with 139 unique covers and 48 1:1 ultra rare covers, and the entire offering sold out in a couple of hours. As usual, copies are now available on the secondary market...

WTF is The Taternomicon? The Taternomicon is an anthology of stories from a group of Book.io’s first “living” authors, pitting their series characters, or personal universes… against the overpowering essence of potatoes. Monsters, smugglers, Elder Gods, a wizard, and so much more. It is the perfect mashup of horror, fantasy and nonsense.

Paul Jenkins (@mypauljenkins) has been creating, writing, and building franchises for more than 25 years in the film, graphic novel, and video game...

Hopefully, by now you've seen some of the Discord and Twitter posts detailing the forthcoming Templar Chronicles tarot card collection.

If not, the long and short of it is that I'm going to be producing a limited edition series of major arcana tarot cards (22 cards in all) featuring characters and scenes from the Templar Chronicles that will be released as Cardano NFTs. There will be thirty-five NFTs for each card, 25 with one common image and 10 with unique, 1:1 images.

The first card will be...

I've fallen in love with both NFTs and AI art. To bring these two creative processes together, I'm going to be producing a set of twenty-two limited edition digital tarot cards - one for each of the major arcana cards in a tarot deck - featuring characters and scenes from the Templar Chronicles.

Each card will be numbered and there will be thirty-five of each available. Twenty-five of those will feature one common image and ten will each showcase a unique, one-of-a-kind image. Cards will be...

The mint of the NFT edition of A Scream of Angels from Book.io was a huge success today, with more than a thousand copies being swept up in the first few hours!

This edition consisted of 2,745 copies with 161 unique covers and 55 1:1 covers. Art was rendered in 4K high resolution and was created by @ADAliensNFT.

I know it has been a while since you’ve heard from me and I’m sorry for that. I hope to get back to a regular communication schedule in the weeks ahead. For now, please accept my apologies for the long silence. I promise I have not been idle!

The good news is that I’m as recovered from my bout with Long Covid as I think I’m going to get. The bad news is that it is, at best, about 70% of my former capacity and I suspect that is as good as it is going to get....
