F-R-E-E!!!! today on e-Book!

You've heard of soulmates, the proverbial other half. Just like cells divide, sometimes souls can be cleaved, and the two halves will follow each other throughout time, from one life to the next until, in the end, they cease to be. They might be mother and child, brother and sister—frequently id.....

Queen Guinevere says, "Obtainest thou thine non-paper copy of EVERMORE this day and on the morrow without incurring any expense whatsoever! Seest thou the purring lynx 'neath this announcement!

Why is Guinevere making this announcement? Readest thou and discover!

You've heard of soulmates, the proverbial other half. Just like cells divide, sometimes souls can be cleaved, and the two halves will follow each other throughout time, from one life to the next until, in the end, they cease to be.

They might be mother and child, brother and sister—frequently identical twins—or even best friends, but most often they are lovers. Most of the great romances throughout history have been soulmates.

But sometimes, soulmates go bad. It comes down to simple biology. Cells don't always divide or replicate perfectly. Most mutations result in death, and as your parents probably told you, bad things happen. There can be flaws. Deadly flaws.

Can dark soulmates overcome them to salvage the kind of life, or lives, they so desperately crave? Or are they destined to a exist in an unquenched state of yearning that leaves them bitter and angry—at each other? Left to fester too long, such bitterness can lead to madness and even bloodlust. Will love conquer all, or are these star-crossed lovers condemned from the start to descend slowly into the abyss?

Only time will tell.

ANNOUNCEMENT: A few changes are coming at Dragon Crown Books in 2025. After a VERY busy holiday season full of events, we will be spending time focused on our writing. First up, we will be releasing our twin volumes of "Shades of Love." This latest installment in our "Nightmare's Eve" series will feature stories of love and horror: one collection from Sharon and the other from my own pen. These will be launched on Dragon Crown's new imprint for horror and thrillers, ScreamCatcher Horror.

We will be focused in the coming year on our own writing and completing my project with Tempest founder, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Lief Sorbye on his biography: another two-volume set. Sharon and I are now hard at work on our first novel collaboration, a science fiction noir thriller. At least one new highway book is in the future as well. Sharon plans two new novels and has a number of short stories in mind.

To clear the deck for these projects, and in light of Sharon's continuing need to undergo chemotherapy for Stage 4 cancer, we will not be taking on unsolicited outside editing or publishing projects at Dragon Crown in 2025. We are very proud of the writing showcased in the two editions of the ACES Anthology, but for the aforementioned reasons, we do not plan on publishing a third volume in 2025. We will, of course, continue to voice our support for other writers, but we are not in a position to dedicate the time and resources necessary to giving a third anthology the attention it deserves.

Sharon and I would like to wish everyone the happiest of new years and look forward to producing more exciting fiction, history, and travel works in the coming year.

So, if you saw me today on KOLO 8 News Now at 3 p.m., I mentioned I would be at a book signing Saturday and Sunday at the Mark Twain Museum. Unfortunately, after that interview was conducted, an emergency arose that forced the event organizers to cancel this event at the last minute. So, please do not come to Virginia City. We won't be there after all.

Sharon Provost and I are all set up for our biggest event of the year this weekend: The Candy Dance in Genoa.

There are TONS of food, craft, clothing, and other vendors, and the event is free to the public.

We hope to see you there!

"Virginia City Then & Now" is live and available for purchase in paperback or color keepsake hardback on Amazon at https://shorturl.at/vr5lw. If you want to see a copy of the paperback in person, drop by Dayton Valley Days this weekend, where I'll have a display copy (it's my only one so far, so it's not for sale). This is the first book in my two-book set on Virginia City. The second book, "The Comstock Chronicles," is due out next week.

"Virginia City Then & Now" is a pictorial look at the city, comparing various sites over the years, with about 400 historical and modern images, as well as interesting details, history, and trivia about each site.

"The Comstock Chronicles," is a chronological history covering the growth and events - major, tragic, and quirky - that took place between 1850 and 1880, taken year by year. It includes items on everyone from Mark Twain to William Sharon, Julia Bulette to Laura Fair, Tom Peasley to "Farmer" Peel... along with lesser-known individuals who made history during the period. It includes a foreword by noted journalist and historian rich Rich Moreno.
