The official release date of Discovering Ren is December 18, 2012. I'd like to extend a huge thank-you to my wonderful publisher, Desiree Finkbeiner at Cogwheel Press, to my fellow Cogwheel authors, who have served as a trans-Atlantic cheering squad for the past six months, to my writing and critique partners who saw this thing from pipedream to polished draft, and of course to my friends and family who've put up with my idiosyncrasies for decades now.
Buy it on Amazon! There's really no way to describe the feeling of launching a book into the world. It's exciting (thrilling, even), anxiety-ridden, hopeful, trepidatious, and proud all at once. Of course, all those conflicting emotional states leave one mostly puzzled, and asking, am I happy? Or terrified?

I'm asking my readers to please check out the book, which is currently available for Kindle, with paperback coming soon. If you like it, love it, or leave it, be sure to tell me and the reading public in the form of an Amazon review. I'm also quite interested in hearing from readers directly, so please contact me. To everyone, everywhere, have a peaceful and safe holiday season. Peace

A native of Southeast Alabama now at home in Phoenix, Arizona, H.G. Ferguson has always loved the strange, the unnerving, the unusual -- in short, looking at things, particularly monsters, outside the box. Since the whopping age of six he has known Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and seeks above all things to honor Him and present the Truth -- even Truth shrouded in shadows, like a candle flickering in a mortuary window. He wrote New Blood to return horror to its Christian roots and worldview and to demonstrate God’s unconditional love for Thirsty and longsuffering Rebecca, who may not be the chief of sinners but is certainly the most unique. Happy holidays, gentle readers! It's time for the next installment in my author interview series, this one with H.G. Ferugson, who wrote New Blood (OtherSheep Books from Written Word Communications). Harold is an enthusiastic debut author with a background in history. He also happens to combine two abiding professional and literary interests of mine: colonial America and vampires. Oh, and in case I forgot to mention, he writes from a Christian worldview. Fun stuff! You can learn more about Harold on his publisher's author page, watch his trailer, and of course, buy his book on Amazon and B&N. Read on for more fascinating explanation of a fascinating writer! Oh, yes, I review books. Below is one I've written for fellow Cogwheel author Gary Beck. If you're interested in having me read & review your book, send me a note on my contact page! Extreme Change by Gary Beck My rating: 5 of 5 stars Most of the time I read books for escapism. Sometimes I read a book because it's good for me. This is one of those. The next time you pass a homeless person or family on the street and think, "What did he/she/they do to end up here?" or worse, you owe it to yourself and the rest of humanity to read this book. Once you do, you'll see that homelessness isn't a moral failing; it's a condition into which some of us are forced by circumstances that simply outweigh the resources we have on hand to control them. WHat I like most about this book is that it reads like a 19th-century morality tale, a la Rise of Silas Lapham, and yet the protagonists are not at fault for what's happening to and around them. There's no villain per se, but plenty of adversaries, most of whom are obdurate and uncaring rather than purely evil. There are a few scary scenes and I wouldn't recommend this book for young readers, but I do encourage you to read it to glimpse the pocked underbelly of the richest and most famous city in the world.
