A storming good idea, this, Charlotte. Just the other day, I posted a new essay on my first public reading of my ripping fun Dracula novel Dragon's Ark at my author's page: http://tbdeluxe.blogspot.com/2011/04/unfinished-business-8-other-mistakes.html It's another in a series of essays I've written ...

My first public reading of "Dragon's Ark" will take place this Sunday, April 17 at the Oakland Public Library, Main Branch at 2 PM. I'll be appearing before Matt Stewart, author of "The French Revolution." More info at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/51054348/Authors-Thomas-Burchfield-Matt-Stewart-Readin...

THEY SAY HE DIED IN THE LAND BEYOND THE FOREST . . . BUT THEY WERE WRONG! DRAGON’S ARK A Novel of Terror by Thomas Burchfield For over a century, Dracula—the King of Nightmares, the Superman of Evil—has been quietly casting his dark and impish dreams in the sleeping souls of a High Sierra community,...

In which I describe my reaction to getting my first copy of my newly released novel Dragon's Ark . A tale of thrill and worry and available here: http://tbdeluxe.blogspot.com/2011/04/unfinished-business-7-praying-for-flood.html Dragon's Ark is now available to order at your local independent booksto...

To provide some background for the release of my contemporary Dracula novel Dragon's Ark I've posted an essay on the long shadow cast by the King of Vampires and the Superman of Evil through my life at http://tbdeluxe.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-dark-muse-boys-life-with-dracula.html I hope you enjoy it!...

I know how you feel. I'm writing what I'm calling a "Dracula" and believe I hear those cries "Oh THAT old thing again." But I believe my take and approach are fresh and unique and thoroughly entertaining. Another thing to keep in mind is that these trends come and go and you never know when the wave...

I wouldn't say they're over the hill, oh no. They're here to stay all right. But while they might be available on the hard drive or server forever, doesn't anymore guarantee they'll be read. What we have--if we don't already--is an overwhelming case of white noise. The thing about downloading an e-b...

Interesting you should ask that question, because I've posted an account of my experience with putting up an e-book (at Smashwords) and the thoughts it provoked over at: http://www.redroom.com/articlestory/eph ... publishing

Thanks!

One book I finally picked up after months of sidelong glances was The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher by British author Kate Summerscale. As I closed it the other night, I decided I was right: Another one I'd waited too long to read. For all crime readers, fact and fiction alike, this absorbing, vivid and...

Hello: Well, as with so many things, it depends. I will use myself as a not necessarily representative example. Last year, I completed my novel Dragon's Ark (submitted to and rejected by Nathan) and have been going the traditional route of querying agents. After I run out on that list, I'll turn to ...

Mmmm . . . think you're about to win another of those Best Agent Blog awards again, Nathan. Maybe they should just give it to you and retire it. I used to be a one-thing-at-a-time guy, but over the years, I've learned to compartmentalize a little more and I suspect in today's online-media driven wor...
