Sometimes the Devil you know...

Well Trickyverse--the wait for the sequel to the Devil and Preston Black (Devil) is finally almost over.  Like Devil, the cover art is friggin' sweet I must say.   Plus if you're like me and can't wait until the official release, Jason Jack Miller has graciously given us a peek at the first 100 pages--scroll down to the link.  You will NOT be disappointed.

I'd have more to say except...well I paused my reading of those excerpt pages just long enough to post this and--I'm headed back.

THE REVELATIONS OF PRESTON BLACK BY JASON JACK MILLER

Coming June 2013 from Raw Dog Screaming Press
Cover Art by Brad Vetter

Preston and Katy face a new darkness....

Sometimes a battle between good and evil doesn't look much like the ones they show in movies. The good guys don't always wear white, and they don’t always walk away with the win.


And sometimes you're better off with the devil you know.


The last time Preston went down to the crossroads, his best friend died and he nearly lost his brother. But Old Scratch doesn't take kindly to fools, especially not those who come knocking at his front door. And before all is said and done, he's going to teach Preston a thing or two about what it really means to sacrifice.

Dog Star Books announces summer release of COG

I was so excited to learn that my alum and friend K. Ceres Wright's novel Cog was picked up by Dog Star Books (Raw Dog Press' new imprint) and will be in print in 2013.

Ceres is one of the best writers I know AND one of the best people.  I was lucky enough to get a preview copy of the cover by artist Bradley Sharp and just felt that I had to share it with all of you.  When one writer succeeds, we all succeed.  

Congrats Ceres and a big hug from your most Tricky of friends.

New novel....Untitled

So it's been three years since my last novel.  I feel like I'm in confession with that last sentence, and I guess it is a confession of sorts. I'm not sure why but none of the ideas that have come to me since my 2008 graduation seem story worthy.  And no reason I provide is logical or rational.  It's as if my brain just needed time gather its thoughts and then scream, holy ****, Tricky, do I have a story for you.

And what I have is a combination of a story that I dreamed up in the early 2000s, with a bit of a spin, and I am happy to say that it is a few thousand words and going strong.  Do I know where it is going?  No, my brain is a mean little cuss when it comes to things like providing details, but it's giving its secrets just when it seems like I need them either through hard work (i.e. outlining), inspiration, or through my dreams.  So I am hoping to work diligently through the fall and have something passable by year's end.

One of the main elements I am missing is a villain.  I have an idea of this evil fellow, he's a Hannibal Lechter-esque fellow.  Someone you love to hate and hate to love, and every now and again you find find yourself rooting for him or her--but in this case, I'd probably report you to the police if whomever this villain becomes since he is not the type you really want to like . . . I think.

So I am asking all of you, the internet community, to comment below and tell me who you're favorite villain of all time is and the reason why. Everyone has a favorite.  We must because, without them there really aren't many stories worth telling.

Let's hear' 'em--ball's in your court.
