I’m making the final preparations for this weekend’s signing trip, which will include turning the blog over to travel mode. Assuming I have time to take pics and fire off some Tweets from the road, they’ll be showing up here in daily digests. I suspect I’ll either be thrilled with the crowds at Dark Delicacies [...]

The San Francisco Chronicle just published an article in their Books section leading up to my signing at Borderlands Books this Sunday at 3pm:
Written by Louis Peitzman, the full article is “Mike Oliveri: He’s betting on werewolves“.
Way, way cool.

There’s a lot going on this week for my new book, The Pack: Winter Kill.
First up, the first reviews have been rolling in to Amazon (both the paperback and the Kindle edition), and so far they’ve been very positive. The noir-horror hybrid seems to be a big hit, and people have been happy with the [...]

Last month, Evileye Books added Cullen Bunn & Shawn Lee to their roster with the Raze series. This month they expand again with John Urbancik’s new series DarkWalker. You can find a more complete announcement on Indie Pulp, and the first book is due in May.

A little movie called The Wolfman is part of that feeling, and it doesn’t hurt that some of you watched a werewolf square off against some sparkling vampires in another little movie called New Moon, but this will be the year I [...]

I seem to have fallen silent for a little while. What better way to break it than with an audio reading of a selection from The Pack: Winter Kill? Check out the dulcet tones of Mr. A.N. Ommus of Evileye Books:
The Pack: Winter Kill, Chapter 43
Enjoy!

My first big shipment of The Pack: Winter Kill copies have arrived. Let me tell ya, the thrill of opening a box of my own books doesn’t fade. This batch is all spoken for, with copies destined for the Twitter contest winners and the bookstores on the signing tour.
I’ll be signing a bunch of them [...]

It’s not been a bad first week for The Pack: Winter Kill. Evileye Books tell me our new ads have pushed a lot of traffic, and our Amazon rank jumped into a respectable range for a brand new small press book from a brand new publisher. It’s tapered off a bit now, but that’s hardly [...]
