Here’s where you can discuss The Blood…and the overall story since it is has now all been published. But please…mark spoilers clearly. Don’t want to be giving away any surprises. In fact, if you haven’t read The Blood you should probably avoid this blog!

Marsh or Cooper?

Who do you identify more with? They are such opposites who are caught up in the same dilemma.

How Shannon drew Marshall Seaver

A very talented reader created an illustration of Marsh and I thought it would be fun to post it.  I think she’s great.

Morpheus Road #2 – The Title

Okay, here goes.

If you’ve read “The Light”, then you can pretty much figure out what the title of the second book in the trilogy is going to be.  We learned that the place where Marsh (and the rest of us) live is referred to as:  “The Light”.  In trying to get Marsh to find the poleax, Damon says that it’s in the Light, but the answer to where it is can be found is somewhere else and he threatens to send Marshall there.  So the next stop along the Morpheus Road is the title of the second book:

Morpheus Road:  The Black.

Many of you figured that out, though most thought it would be called “The Dark”.   So the titles aren’t descriptions, they’re references to actual places.  Which raises the question:  What will the title of  #3 be?  I won’t discuss that until The Black comes out next year.  But I will say this:  As with “The Light”, once you’ve read “The Black” you’ll pretty much know what that title is going to be.

Morpheus Road: The Light (Discussion)

(CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD)

Now that The Light has been out for a month, I figured it was okay to start a topic to discuss it.

For those who have read my Pendragon books, you know that I write stories that don’t always go where you think they’re going.  Morpheus Road is no different.  At the end of “The Light” there are some very big twists and story shifts . . . not the least of which is the reveal of what Gravedigger is all about.  Or not about.  Who thinks they know where the story is now headed?

Irrational fears

We all have irrational fears, not to mention rational ones. Me? I don’t do well with snakes, but they pretty much fall into the rational variety. Anything that can sneak up on you and deliver a lethal bite is worthy of my terror. …Read More

What was the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?

I don’t know if this was the scariest movie ever made, but it scared me more than any other movie.  When I was about eight my sister took me to a Disney flick (Sword in the Stone).  No problem there.  But the second feature was a horror film called Black Sabbath.  …Read More
