Frostwalker Excerpt – Opening Scene: Jake Walks The Field

Posted by Brandon Luffman on

Front Cover Art Mock-UpI’m happy to present you with a new excerpt from Frostwalker! This time, it’s the opening scene from the book. If you’ve read some of my interviews, you may recognize this. This scene is what grew out of a late night trip to the mailbox in winter, and from this scene the rest of the story developed on its own.

Meanwhile, preparations continue for the release. The cover art is being finalized and formatting is underway. Work is also being done on the media kit, as well as various other supporting efforts. Stay tuned – it won’t be much longer now!

For now, enjoy this excerpt, and feel free to post your thoughts below! Continue reading →

“The Card” – New Short Story Release!

Posted by Brandon Luffman on

As I hinted around in my last post, I have something to help tide you over until Frostwalker is released. I’m pleased to present The Card, available now for 99 cents!

The Card

When a strange tarot card appears in a friend’s deck, Jason assumes it’s just a prank done in poor taste. But, when terrible events befall those around him, he must face the possibility that something sinister is afoot.

Death is closing in, along with a suspicious detective who believes that Jason may be the killer he’s stalking. With his life turned upside down, Jason finds that there are worse things to be hunted by than the authorities.

This 4,500 word short is a supernatural horror story in the spirit of the pulp era, but with a modern feel.

——-

The Card is currently available through Smashwords, in many different formats, including Mobi (Kindle), PDF, EPUB, and more. Soon it will begin to filter out to other retailers. There is also a direct Kindle edition in the works, to be offered through Amazon, but the formatting on that isn’t quite right just yet. I’ll be sure to mention it on my Facebook page when that goes live, as well as updating my Works page with links to new retailers as they become available.

UPDATE: The Kindle edition is now live on Amazon! Check it out!

UPDATE: As of January 16th, The Card is available on Kobo! Linkie!

A New Year With Much Promise

Posted by Brandon Luffman on

So, here we are in 2013. Honestly, if I survive another apocalypse, I’m going to add “Apocalypse Survival Consultant” to my resumé. It’s getting a bit old hat by now, don’t you think?

Apocalypse Again?!

Meh…

But, while apocalypses pass us by, the rest of life remains to keep us busy – and busy I have been! Sadly, not all of my energy has gone into my writing, but here’s a little update on what’s going on in that arena.
