Hi from a newbie (hope I'm doing this right). Thanks for the request Jonathan. Ghost Road Blues sounds right up my alley. Looking forward to checking it out.
Hey guys....I see you've found out about Cryptopedia. Actually there's two different entities under that name. The first will be a nonfiction book from Citadel Press, co-authored by my good friend David F. Kramer. That version is The Cryptopedia: A Dictionary of the Weird, Strange, and Downright Bizarre by Jonathan Maberry and David F. Kramer (ISBN-10: 0806528192 - Aug 28, 2007).
The second is Cryptopedia Magazine, a quarterly downloadable pdf literary horror mag.
If those play out, heck maybe I'll name one of my kids 'Cryptopedia'
Jonathan, You asked about movies. I've decided to be one of those authors who says my characters are much too special to be ruined by Hollywood hacks, until, of course, Hollywood calls.
I'm delighted to join your group of friends. Congrats on the Bram Stoker Award. Ghost Road Blues sounds like an interesting series. Having lived a decade in Pennsylvania, I know there are lots of ghost tales there. I even experienced a few myself. Best of luck!
Jonathan, Do you know my friend Lee Pletzers (New Zealand)? We have the same publisher. Glad to see your prolific activitiy! You may write death, but your are a LiveWire!
I was just in Philly for my husband's prep school reunion! We had a reading and signing for our new thriller, LADYKILLER, at Port Richmond Books. Do you know it? It's a great place for mysteries. We met the owners, Greg and Meg Gillespie at Bouchercon two years ago.
What a busy man you must be with so much going on in your life, Jonathan. Long ago I practiced Goju Kai karate. Thanks so much for inviting me to be your friend. And good luck with your new magazine.
Yep, I'm looking forward to launching Cryptopedia Magazine. We're going to have Ramsey Campbell, Tim Lebbon and maybe even a dark mystery tale by Ken Bruen. Great art, too.
Jonathan, thanks for the invitation! As Hakko Ryu jujutsu was my introduction to the martial arts, I have a soft spot for fellow jujutsuka. (Preferably a soft tatami mat!)
Yep...vampires and crime fiction do make a good blend. A couple of reviewers have (kindly) referred to Ghost Road Blues as "Silence of the Lambs meets Salems Lot".
I've actually completed the trilogy and am now working on a non-supernatural counter-terrorism thriller.
And...to answer LaTanya, I haven't practiced Capoeira myself but I have a number of close friends who are capoeiristas. Love the art.!
