I'm thrilled to finally share it with you, and to celebrate its release, it's just 99 cents for a <strong>LIMITED </strong>launch window.<br /><br />That's right. 99 cents. I'd say "cheaper than a cup of coffee," but it's way cheaper than that. Plus it will last a hell of a lot longer.<br /><br />It's got action, adventure, mystery, suspense, a heist gone wrong, a stagecoach robbery and so much more. Jules Castle is one of my favorite protagonists to date. She's skilled, funny and doesn't always do the right thing. But it's always a blast to see what she'll do next. I hope you'll give her a shot — and I hope you love the book as much as I did creating it.<br /><br />You can <a href="https://facebook.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de1f7d9e5c8c0eb0ce0ca3134&id=3f77b6bd57&e=407a0946d2" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: #007c89; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">buy it here for Kindle U.S</a>.

But will her legendary skills be enough to save her father?<br /><br />Three years ago, Jules' outlaw father vanished during a mysterious mission. Since then, she's kept up the family business — robbing banks and chasing clues to his whereabouts across the Territory. Unfortunately, his trail sets her right in the path of supernatural, hard-to-kill creatures known as Vipers, whose bite will transform anyone into one of their kind.<br /><br />Jules is determined to save her father, no matter the peril or cost. With the help of a bounty hunter and her adopted sister Miranda, she will have to pull off an impossible rescue. Hounded by former members of her father's gang, hunted by a U.S. Army posse, and pursued by Vipers, Jules' chances are slim. Can she beat the odds one last time?<br /><br />From Amazon bestselling author Rob Blackwell comes </em>Riders on the Storm<em>, a unique urban fantasy combining elements of a Western with supernatural suspense and action. Find out why readers praise his novels for their unpredictable twists, jaw-dropping endings, and unforgettable characters. </em><br /><br /><strong>Reviewer: "If you enjoy fantasy novels with heists, shoot-outs, terrifying monsters and many plot twists, definitely give this novel a shot (no pun intended)!" </strong><br /><br />Well, what are you waiting for? <a href="https://facebook.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de1f7d9e5c8c0eb0ce0ca3134&id=d4ca64e1cb&e=407a0946d2" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: #007c89; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Go buy it!</a> </div>

Because one just isn’t enough…<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So it's long past time to tell you about a secret project I’ve
been involved with. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I’m pleased to announce the publication of <a href="https://amzn.to/2UF1qUY">Dead and Gone</a>, a box set of 13 novels by New
York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestselling authors
filled with murder mysteries, crime fiction, paranormal thrills and much more. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The stories have exactly one thing in common: a serial
killer. Some novels revolve around amateur sleuths, others are about seasoned
police detectives and at least one features two tough local reporters (Spoiler
alert: that one’s mine). The stories dip into other genres, including police
procedurals, supernatural suspense and even romance. That means there’s
something there for everyone. All of the books are well-reviewed and guaranteed
to keep you flipping pages as fast as you can. <o:p></o:p></div>

To my mind, Halloween is better than my birthday, Christmas or any other holiday. What's not to love? It's got spooky stories, kids in costumes and tons of candy. </div>

But wait, that's not all. I've also made each novel in the series just 99 cents. Why? Because some of you may want to own each book individually or have previously bought some in the series. It's also the best way to get the audiobook versions for cheap. If you own the Kindle version of a book, the audio version is as low as $1.99! </div>

And because it's summer, now's a great time to pick up the third book in the series: <a href="http://amzn.to/2s2fcDN" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">The Woman in the White Mask</a>. Read all three at the beach, by the pool or in a cabin in the woods. Actually, maybe not that last one. It might get a little intense, given the subject matter.

My first novel, <a href="http://amzn.to/2tQcAtb" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">A Soul to Steal</a>, has been translated and published in German! You can see the completely scary cover to the left or <a href="http://amzn.to/2sM6Ew2" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">here</a>. The translation, I'm told, means, "Cursed -- Night of the Dead." It's being published by Mantikore, a fantasy/horror publisher in Germany, and the book will be at the Frankfurt book festival in October. To be honest, this is completely unexpected. When I first published the book, I thought I'd be lucky if it sold 100 copies. It never occurred to me to dream it would be translated into other languages.<br />
<br />
As for how well a novel about the Headless Horseman will translate to a German audience, who knows? Considering ol' Headless was a Hessian mercenary and Washington Irving was inspired by a German folk tale, I can always hope. But if you happen to have any friends in Germany, please let them know it's out! (It's published on the German Amazon store <a href="https://www.amazon.de/Verflucht-Nacht-Toten-Mystery-Thriller-German-ebook/dp/B06ZZNB95J/" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">here</a>.)<br />
<br />
As for my next adventure, I'm hard at work on it as we speak. I hope to have something to say in the near (but not too near) future.<br />
<br />
Until then, I hope you have a glorious summer.</div>

Okay, maybe I'm jumping the gun a tad, but I have an exciting offer:<br />
<br />
<em><a href="http://bit.ly/AS2S2" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">A Soul to Steal</a></em>, my first and most-rated novel (with 294 reviews and counting), is absolutely FREE for a limited time. And the sequel,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://amzn.to/2ofRQFq" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">Band of Demons</a>, is just 99 cents!<br />
<br />
This is the first time in several years that<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://bit.ly/AS2S2" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><em>A Soul to Steal</em></a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>has been available for free, and I don't know when or if it will be free again in the future. It's also the first time in more than two years that<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em><a href="http://amzn.to/2ofRQFq" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">Band of Demons</a></em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>has been on sale, so grab that too while you're at it. (The final part of the trilogy,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em><a href="http://amzn.to/2oU5roR" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">Give the Devil His Due</a></em>, is also available!)<br />
<br />
If you haven't read<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>The Sanheim Chronicles</em>, here's the gist: A Celtic myth and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>The Legend of Sleepy Hollow</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>collide in a trilogy that combines urban fantasy, mystery and suspense. In<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://bit.ly/AS2S2" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><em>A Soul to Steal</em></a>, two reporters race to uncover the identity of a serial killer before a promised bloodbath on Halloween. But to stop him, they may unleash a darker threat -- and pay an unimaginable price. In<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em><a href="http://amzn.to/2ofRQFq" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">Band of Demons</a></em>, the reporters face a threat of another kind that may destroy their entire town.<br />
<br />
The series has been featured on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>USA Today</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and has been downloaded on more than 100,000 Kindles! Featuring the Headless Horseman in an entirely new mythology, it has won praise from book bloggers and readers alike. Amazon bestselling novelist Melissa F. Olson says: "Contemporary reporters stumble into ancient powers - and modern urban fantasy gets a colonial Gothic twist. Blackwell's smartly original series is heady - and head<em>less</em> - good fun."<br />
<br />
So what are you waiting for? There's literally no reason not to download the first book for FREE. And if you want a real treat, after you download<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://bit.ly/AS2S2" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><em>A Soul to Steal</em></a>, you can pick up the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://amzn.to/2oUgBtH" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">audiobook version</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>on Audible for just $1.99! And the same is true for<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://amzn.to/2ofRQFq" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><em>Band of Demons</em></a> -- if you buy the Kindle version for 99 cents,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://amzn.to/2oQ53be" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">you can pick up the audiobook</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>for just $1.99. That means you can get two novels and their audiobooks for a total of less than $5. I guess it's not just a soul you're stealing (lame joke, sorry.)<br />
<br />
I hope you'll give the series a try. If you love it, do me a favor and please leave a review! It really helps.<br />
<br />
I hope you're having a terrific spring!</div>

It’s finally here! I’m very excited to announce the
publication of <a href="http://amzn.to/2kDqqY7">The Woman in the White Mask</a>,
the third full-length novel in the Soren Chase series. If you’ve read the first
two books (or even any of the novellas), this is the novel you’ve been waiting
for. You’ll finally learn what really happened eight years ago when Soren and
his three friends were attacked by a supernatural being.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The attack left Soren scarred and under suspicion for
murder. Since then, he’s become a paranormal investigator. It also left him
with a huge hole in his memory about exactly what transpired that night. Why
did the mysterious pretender—a creature that can take the form of anyone—target
Soren’s best friend, John Townes? Was it just hunting for sport or did it have
a more nefarious agenda? And, more importantly, what the hell happened? This is
the novel that tells you. <o:p></o:p></div>

Check out the brand new cover! <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">To help usher in the new year, I’m happy to announce that </span><em><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><a href="http://amzn.to/2ic5DZX">The Forest of Forever</a></span></em><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>has a brand new cover!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 11px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">I’m a bit nervous about showing it to you, since I loved the previous cover. But after feedback over the past year and a half since its release, I’ve been told time and again that the cover didn’t have the same “look” as other novels in the urban fantasy genre.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 11px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Over time, I started to wonder if the cover was preventing readers who might be exactly the type to enjoy it from ever noticing it in the first place. So a few months ago, I ordered a new cover from a different designer.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 11px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">This is an experiment. If this cover performs better, you’ll see all new covers for the Soren Chase novels. If it doesn’t make a difference or sales plummet, you may see the old cover back. But one of the exciting things about publishing these days is that you can try new things, and Kindle Press has been kind enough to let me attempt this.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 11px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">You can see the new cover below. Let me know what you think! I know some of you may have an attachment to the old cover—I certainly do—but I hope you’ll like this one.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 11px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">I’ll be back with more news VERY soon about the next book in the Soren Chase series! Until then, I hope you have a happy New Year!</span></div>

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...</h1>
<br />
Unless you've been trapped under a rock, you know there's a new <em>Star Wars</em> movie coming out this week. I, for one, am pretty darn excited. The previews make it look awesome and any excuse to see Darth Vader, my second favorite fictional villain, on screen again sounds good to me. (The first is the Headless Horseman, which you can probably tell if you've checked out my novel <a href="http://amzn.to/2gtNAl3" style="color: #2baadf; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><em>A Soul to Steal</em></a>).<br />
<br />
Now, we've been fooled by great-looking previews before, so it's hard to know for sure if <em>Rogue One</em> will be any good. But it can't be worse than <em>The Phantom Menace</em>, right? Right? (Cue nervous need for reassurance).<br />
<br />
Anyway, to help you get in the mood for <em>Rogue One</em>, <a href="http://bit.ly/2hjLIrY" style="color: #2baadf; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">here's a collection of FREE sci-fi and fantasy novels</a>. Check 'em out before they're gone and happy reading!<br />

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a fun and relaxing holiday yesterday. If you're anything like me, you're in a post-turkey-and-too-much-stuffing haze where you think vaguely about getting yourself off the couch, but just can't quite manage to do it. Well, you're in luck. You can take advantage of some great Black Friday deals right from wherever you're reading this.<br /><br />There are nearly 50 free urban fantasy and horror books right <a data-cke-saved-href="http://bit.ly/2fGtxLH" href="http://bit.ly/2fGtxLH" target="_blank">at this link</a> for the taking. They run the gamut from straight up horror to paranormal romance, so take a deep dive and see what's right for you.<br /><br />And that's not all! I've extended my sale on the box set of my bestselling <a data-cke-saved-href="http://amzn.to/2fSqV0t" href="http://amzn.to/2fSqV0t" target="_blank"><em>The Sanheim Chronicles</em></a> for a limited time. Right now, you can buy all three books in the series for just $5.99! That's more than 1,400 pages of urban fantasy, mystery and suspense at less than 50% of the full-priced cost.<br /><br />A vicious serial killer has returned to Leesburg, Va., and has trained his sights on two young reporters. But how far are they willing to go to uncover and defeat him? When they stumble on an ancient Celtic myth, it might be the key to saving the town -- or destroying everything they ever loved. This series has been praised by <em>Indie Reader</em> for its "plot twists that will leave you gasping for air" and <em>USA Today</em> as a "leave-the-light-on kind of page turner."<br /><br />Find out why <strong>BookEater77</strong> just left this<a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.amazon.com/review/R2IGJU99SLGE7X/" href="https://www.amazon.com/review/R2IGJU99SLGE7X/" target="_blank"> very gracious review </a>on the series: "Rob is easily hands down my new fave author. I've read EVERYTHING of his and I'm always left wanting more. He's done that rare thing and created a universe. This series is a great combo of Celtic folklore, Halloween, and mystery. I actually cried a little in places because I was happy. I hope there are more installments of this series."<br /><br />It's even been endorsed by Mark Metcalf, the actor who plays The Master on the best TV show of all time, <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</em>. Hurry up and <a data-cke-saved-href="http://amzn.to/2gibPSt" href="http://amzn.to/2gibPSt" target="_blank">buy it</a>! This deal won't last much longer!<br /><br />Hope you have a great rest of your weekend!<br />

Act now before it's too late! <br />Halloween is my favorite time of the year. My decorations are up, including a massive blow-up of the Headless Horseman who both scares and fascinates the trick or treaters. (You can see a photo of him below.)<br />

To celebrate All Hallow's Eve, <a href="http://amzn.to/2ekH2Sd" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><em>A Soul to Steal</em></a>, the first novel in <em>The</em> <em>Sanheim Chronicles</em>, is just 99 cents. A serial killer, two community reporters and the legendary specter of Sleepy Hollow collide in this pulse-pounding supernatural thriller that has been featured on <em>USA Today </em>and praised by book bloggers and readers alike. This is a great time to read it too as it's been widely described as "the perfect novel for Halloween!"<br /><br /> If you don't have time to <em>read</em> a book this weekend, consider listening to one. If you pick up <em>A Soul to Steal </em>as an ebook<em>, </em>you can <a href="http://amzn.to/2eO9yd9" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">buy the audiobook version </a>for just $1.99 through Audible. That's less than $3 for the book and audio together! <br /><br /> And as an added bonus, all three ebooks in <em><a href="http://amzn.to/2fcMmJY" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">The Sanheim Chronicles</a></em> can be purchased in a single box set for the limited-time low price of just $5.99! That's more than 1,400 pages of mystery, suspense and urban fantasy involving the Headless Horseman, banshees, phookas, and even a few creepy clowns (written well before the current rage) for nearly 50% off the cover price. <br />
<br />
But hurry! All of these deals -- much like Sanheim's powers -- expire on Halloween!<br />

The weirdest part of mine came when I was—and I swear this is true—attacked by a baby deer while I was on a kayak in the middle of a river. But more on that in a minute! <br />
<br />
This post is to alert you that <a href="http://amzn.to/2cty0oc"><em><span style="color: #dd3333;">The Pretender</span></em></a>, Soren Chase Book #2, is on sale for just $1.99!

After the shocking finale of <a href="http://amzn.to/2chZex0"><em><span style="color: #dd3333;">The Forest of Forever</span></em></a>, paranormal investigator Soren Chase is left frustrated and angry. The monster he’s hunted for so long is far closer than he imagined—but he still doesn’t know how to kill it. When a nearby family is murdered, Soren jumps at the chance to see if he can find the culprit, and potentially learn something new to help him in his own quest. But what he finds is far more than he bargained for. <br />
<br />
To face this new threat, Soren must learn to cope with the past, forge an unlikely alliance, and battle an ancient foe with a sinister agenda that could kill millions.<br />
<br />
Here’s what readers are saying about <em>The Pretender: </em><br />
<blockquote>
<em>“A fantastic second installment of a great series!”</em><br />
<em>“The series invites comparisons with the legendary Buffy and Angel series, with its blend of supernatural action, horror and touches of humor. It’s a tricky mix to pull off, but Blackwell succeeds, creating a story and characters you want to follow.”</em><br />
<em>“Just ‘wow’ again!!! These stories and characters are just riveting.”</em><br />
“<em>I just love this series more and more. The mythology is fabulous. And the interesting twists and turns on that mythology are even better. I really can’t wait for the next book!”</em><br />
<em>“This paranormal series is one of the best I have read in a while.”</em></blockquote>
So what are you waiting for? Buy <a href="http://amzn.to/2cty0oc"><em><span style="color: #dd3333;">The Pretender </span></em></a>now while it’s cheap! And if you like it when you finish, please leave a review. It really helps. (And if you are looking for another great book, <em><a href="http://amzn.to/2bY0TpD"><span style="color: #dd3333;">Closed at Dark</span></a></em> is also free now on Amazon!)<br />
<br />
Okay, so about the fawn. I was kayaking with my young daughter on a river in Michigan when we caught sight of a baby deer on the river bank. Promising my daughter a better look, I kayaked over toward the fawn. And that’s when the trouble started.<br />
<br />
The fawn began bleating, but rather than being terrified of me, it jumped into the river and began swimming my way! I started paddling downstream to get away from what is admittedly the cutest monster ever to attack me, but the fawn followed. Worse, I was leading it toward deeper water and I was worried it would drown.<br />
<br />
I paddled back upstream, hoping I could lead the fawn back toward solid ground. When we neared the bank, however, the little guy (or gal) tried to jump <em>inside the kayak</em>. My daughter, who loves fawns, was panicking—and I was worried about hurting the animal or possibly contaminating it with our scent (which I later learned is actually a myth). I quickly got my daughter and myself out of the boat and encouraged the fawn onto dry land. The baby deer then nuzzled me, apparently thinking I was its mother (I wish I could tell you this is the first time a fawn has mistaken me for its mother, but that would be lying.)<br />
<br />
After a bit of looking around and trying to lead the fawn deeper into the forest where we thought it would be safer, it occurred to me that the baby’s mother would never show unless I left the scene. So my daughter and I slunk off, fearing the fawn would again launch an amphibious assault. But instead it calmly watched us go.<br />

<br />
I don’t know what happened to the fawn. I hope it’s okay. But as I’m a writer, I’ve dreamed up a more fitting ending. Two years from now, I’ll be driving down the road in Michigan and I’ll spot a deer just off to the side. I’ll slow down, feeling some hidden connection between the two of us. Our eyes will meet just for a moment, and I’ll think, “I wonder if that’s the deer that tried to jump in my kayak.” And the deer will think, “I wonder if that’s the jerk who didn’t give me milk.” And then he will bound away into the forest, our lives never intersecting again.<br />
<br />
So there you go. That’s the story of my river attack. All I can say is that given the level of panic I felt with a cute baby animal fast approaching me, it’s probably best that I leave the monster fighting to Soren Chase.<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Rob Blackwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09658670279978983698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384090337188299099.post-11213383611429851532016-07-27T08:14:00.001-07:002016-07-27T08:14:30.198-07:00New website and two FREE books -- but only for a limited time!

My old website was pretty bare bones and screamed amateur, so I invested some time and money in building this new one. Do me a favor and give it a look. Feedback is always welcome.<br />

There’s a great reason for that. I’m proud to announce that Kindle Press, which published </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">The Forest of Forever</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">, has agreed to publish </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">The Pretender</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> as well. Since there was no Kindle Scout campaign this time around, it took us a little bit to iron out some details, nail down the release date, etc. I think you’ll agree the result is worth the wait. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Without further ado, here’s the official description for </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">The Pretende</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">r:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><em style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">A young girl slaughters her entire family in a quiet suburban neighborhood. The police say she snapped, but Soren Chase knows the truth. Having dedicated his life to hunting down the creature that murdered his best friend and left him framed for the crime eight years ago, Soren expertly recognizes the villain’s hallmarks in the young girl’s rampage: a pretender—a supernatural creature that can steal the identity and memories of its targets—has struck again.<br /><br />Recently shattered by the realization that the monster he hunted for so long is far closer than he ever imagined, Soren needs to find a way to put the pieces back together if he wants to protect his remaining loved ones. To face this new threat, Soren must learn to cope with the past, forge an unlikely alliance, and battle an ancient foe with a sinister agenda that could kill millions.<br /><br />Don’t miss this exciting sequel to </em><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">The Forest of Forever</span><em style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> and the next chapter in an addictive, urban fantasy series that </em><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">One Book Two</span><em style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> calls “amazing… with twists and turns that left me seriously unbalanced.”</em><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">And to tease you just a bit more, here’s the first line of the story: “Soren Chase drew the hood over his head and waited for the human sacrifice to start.”</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">If you haven’t already, be sure to read </span><a href="http://bit.ly/CoSKin" style="background-color: white; color: #2baadf; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" target="_blank"><em>Carnival of Stone</em></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you’ve read my </span><a href="http://bit.ly/SanChron"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">Sanheim Chronicles</span></i></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> trilogy, you know
how much I love Halloween. I love the costumes, the candy and the yard decorations.
But most of all, I love the ghost stories. It’s the one time of year when
seemingly everyone is ready to tell you about their personal experience with
the supernatural. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">More than 15 years ago, I went on assignment for the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Loudoun Times-Mirror</i> to report on a
professional ghost hunter. He, in turn, led me to a woman whose house he
claimed was so haunted he suspected there were multiple “entities” living in
the house with her. When I interviewed her, you’d never know she believed in
ghosts. But sitting in her parlor, she told me stories that chilled my blood. I
was on the fence about the existence of ghosts, but she was so normal—and her
stories were corroborated by so many other witnesses—that I wondered if they could
be real.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“It takes a long time to finally admit it,” she told me. “You
go through years where you tell yourself that you left the light on, or the
kids did something. My youngest son continually talked about the lady at the
end of his bed. Eventually, you just can’t fight it any longer.” (You can read
both original articles </span><a href="http://bit.ly/1MXpuDD"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> and </span><a href="http://bit.ly/1GNgEeK"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">!) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Toward the end of our conversation, the owner of the house
made me an offer, one that she had frequently extended to skeptics—I could stay
alone overnight and find out for myself just how haunted the house was. I’m
embarrassed to say I was too cowardly to take her up on it. But I’ve always
wondered what might have happened if I had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">More than 15 years ago, I wrote two articles for the special Halloween edition of the <em>Loudoun Times-Mirror</em>. The <a href="http://blackwellauthor.blogspot.com/2015/10/americas-most-haunted-lynch-house.html" target="_blank">first one</a> centered around the haunting of the Lynch house, while the second focused on a professional ghost hunter. Both helped influence my work, including <em><a href="http://bit.ly/LastBlog" target="_blank">The Last Blog</a></em>, a short story that is free until Nov. 1, 2015, and <em><a href="http://bit.ly/SanChron" target="_blank">The Sanheim Chronicles</a></em>, which includes a theory on ghosts very similar to what is espoused below. Following is the second article in the series in its original form: </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Joe Holbert still doesn't know if he believes in ghosts.
After a decade of giving tours of the haunted houses in Leesburg and
investigating the unearthly sights and sounds in the homes, he can't tell you
for sure that dead people are the cause.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I know something goes on in those houses," said
Holbert. "I just don't know that it is ghosts."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Years ago, Holbert would have dismissed the possibility of
ghosts outright, but after meeting with people who had encountered spirits, he
wasn't so sure.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I come from a scientific background, and I used to
think ghost stuff was nonsense," said Holbert. "But once you talked
to the people, you realized they were very believable. Then it was a great
mystery. How can this be? How does it work?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Holbert set out to study haunted houses as scientifically as
possible. He uses various equipment, from electromagnetic sensors to video
cameras to tape recorders to try and prove that ghosts exist. Rather than focus
his efforts on something which is completely intangible however, he decided to
concentrate on studying electromagnetic fields. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Holbert has found that by using an electromagnetic meter, he
can measure unusual activity in a home. While living beings and electronic
equipment can give off electromagnetic fields, Holbert uses other equipment to
ensure that what he is detecting isn't just random electricity from a nearby
power source. Currently, he and four people who work with him are developing a
system where they can place meters in several rooms of a home and monitor them
all at one time from a computer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Holbert uses the tape recorder to record sounds in the area
for 24 hours to determine if anything odd is happening in the room. He also
sets up video cameras to try and catch anything on film.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWfyhGy0hdxpWCasd1b8eehx-rGhr5SmPqEQTCpUbxJyhwp2Ui15Rz0R9x92gaTezwQrZPDq9b7-pkL6lwKRyMFjSdR2IPTEpuCFPsD5qCCBKANam1JhhSmEWAxsCe1Tj3t5cEKg5cHvg/s1600/America+s+Most+Haunted+Page+4-page-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWfyhGy0hdxpWCasd1b8eehx-rGhr5SmPqEQTCpUbxJyhwp2Ui15Rz0R9x92gaTezwQrZPDq9b7-pkL6lwKRyMFjSdR2IPTEpuCFPsD5qCCBKANam1JhhSmEWAxsCe1Tj3t5cEKg5cHvg/s320/America+s+Most+Haunted+Page+4-page-001.jpg" width="232" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I've seen a lot of things," said Holbert. "I
have seen doors shut by themselves and pictures take themselves off the wall. I
have seen furniture move when no one is around. I don't know if it is dead
people doing it, but something is happening. I am working on the science of
ghosts. The witnesses are too good and too many to just dismiss that something
goes on."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But if you are looking for ghosts around town, Holbert
suggests not heading out to the graveyard late at night.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"As you study this, you find that certain buildings are
more likely to be haunted," he said. "Hotels, restaurants,
dormitories and other places where a lot of people have been around are likely
spots, but not graveyards. Part of the reason I say hotels are more haunted, is
because a hotel has a 24 hour staff. If something happens, someone is around to
see it," said Holbert.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Holbert investigates homes for free, and oftentimes finds
that a "haunted" house is caused by nothing more than a house
expanding or other normal explanations. But he always treats people's claims
seriously, because he believes he could one day prove the existence of ghosts.
His work has been featured by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the
TV show <em>Sightings</em> and several local radio programs. He gives
tours of Leesburg and his work every Friday and Saturday night except during
the winter.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"This is worthy of a life's work, in my opinion,"
said Holbert. "It is one of the great mysteries of life. What happens
after you die? Mostly, I want people to keep their minds open. They should open
their eyes and look around a little bit."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In October of 1999, I wrote two stories for the Halloween section of the<em> Loudoun-Times Mirror</em>. The first directly inspired my short story, <em><a href="http://bit.ly/LastBlog" target="_blank">The Last Blog</a>, </em>which is FREE today through Nov. 1, 2015. <a href="http://blackwellauthor.blogspot.com/2015/10/local-ghost-chaser-investigates.html" target="_blank">The second</a> heavily influenced my treatment of ghosts in <em><a href="http://bit.ly/SanChron" target="_blank">The Sanheim Chronicles</a>. </em><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For years, Martha Lynch denied there was anything strange
going on in her house. She tried to explain the lights that would go on or off
by themselves, found excuses for the odd noises at night when no one was
around, and didn't worry about the pictures which seemed to take themselves off
the wall. But after she saw the ghost, she didn't need any more convincing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"It takes a long time to finally admit it," said
Lynch, who bought the house in 1973. "You go through years where you tell
yourself that you left the light on, or the kids did something. My youngest son
continually talked about the lady at the end of his bed. Eventually, you just
can't fight it any longer."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a late night several years ago when Lynch arrived
home shortly before her husband, Tom. Her kids away, she wasn't expecting to
see a woman standing at the top of the steps in the main foyer. For an instant,
she believed it was an intruder, but when she called out, the woman walked away
-- and disappeared. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Eventually when people come in and ask why the lamp is
swinging back and forth, the story of the haunted house leaks out," said
Lynch. "Once you admit your house is haunted out loud, there is no backing
away from it."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Lynch home is now a regular stop on the Leesburg
Hauntings tour, where strange things sometimes occur while a whole group of
people are watching. Like the time tour guide Laura Dutton had to yell over the
strange banging sound coming from the steps. Or the time a whole audience
watched as a piece of lace floated down from the third story and landed on
Dutton. Joe Holbert, a Leesburg resident who investigates hauntings in the
area, singles the house out as extremely haunted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"It is probably one of the most haunted houses in
America," said Holbert. "You have multiple ghosts in different rooms
with separate things going on."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But the ghost Lynch talks about most often is the one she
believes is named Eliza Thompson. During Lynch's research into her home, she
has found references to the house as early as 1811. In the 1860s, however, the
house was the focus of a fiercely contested legal debate over ownership, with
Thompson finally coming out on top.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I think she loved the house so much and worked so hard
to get it, she never wanted to leave," said Lynch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lynch and her family have all noted the times that the lamp
in the hall would swing back and forth and suddenly stop, sometimes at a 45
degree angle to the ground. Or how the center cushion on the green couch in the
living room will suddenly show the impression of someone sitting in it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But Lynch has only heard the ghost speak a few times.
Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night feeling someone poking
her arm and saying "Martha! Martha!" One night she woke up to hear
the sound of a woman crying and saying "Please don't let her make me go
away."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The next morning, Lynch called the Loudoun Museum and asked
how the Leesburg Haunting tour had gone the night before. She discovered that a
self-proclaimed psychic had come on the tour and declared that the house should
be exorcised, and that the Lynchs should make the spirit move on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On another occasion, Lynch yelled up the stairs to her son,
Kelley, and reminded him to bring the Civil War diary he was reading to school.
As soon as she said the words "Civil War," the light above her head
came on. Again and again, with her son looking on, the light would turn on only
when she said the words "Civil War."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"You do get scared sometimes," said Lynch.
"When I hear footsteps and I know I am here by myself. When the light kept
coming on, it really raised the hair on the back of my neck."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But for the most part, Lynch and the rest of her family
aren't frightened by the ghost in their home. She even considers it a bit of a
blessing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I feel very fortunate," said Lynch. "Before
I moved in here, I never thought about ghosts at all. Now our entire family
believes something goes on in this house. This is the kind of thing you need to
experience before you can believe it. But she and I get along because I love
this house too. When I die, the house is going to have one more ghost in
it."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When a small town is
under siege from a horrific monster, only one man can help…<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Supernatural investigator Soren Chase is having a rough day.
He narrowly avoids being murdered by a pair of trigger-happy leprechauns (yes,
leprechauns) before taking a case to investigate the disappearance of a
graduate student in the mountains of Virginia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But when Soren arrives in the normally sleepy hamlet of
Hilltop, he finds the situation is far worse than he imagined. He’s up against
a creature unlike anything he’s encountered before and it will take all his
skills—and working with an unlikely ally—to survive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Carnival</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">of Stone</i> is a 175-page stand-alone
novella in the Soren Chase series that can be enjoyed by any reader who loves urban
fantasy, mystery and suspense. Set between the events of </span><a href="http://bit.ly/CaDKindle"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">Closed at
Dark</span></i></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> and </span><a href="http://bit.ly/FoFKindle"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">The Forest of Forever</span></i></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">, it will please existing fans and new
readers alike.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you want to find out more about Soren’s history, his
partnership with his sarcastic assistant Glen, and his encounter with two very
different mythological creatures, this is the perfect novella for you. I hope
you’ll check it out </span><a href="http://bit.ly/CoSKin"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">. And when you’re

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But wait, there’s more! October is just a couple days away,
