After watching a great talk by Levar Burton, it was wonderful getting to meet him, although very brief. Fans of Star Trek and Reading Rainbow will understand my enthusiasm. I did point him toward Cleveland ConCoction with a card. Would be great to see him there some day. Talk about a cool, down to earth guy.

Well I finally took the next step in my writing career. The Horror Writers Association (HWA) just accepted my application and proof of publishing credentials, granting me membership.

My paranormal coming-of-age series, A Life of Death, just received yet another glowing review, this time from Mallory Heart Reviews. In it, Mallory said, “A LIFE OF DEATH is a stunner, a literate trove of paranormal, supernatural, moral integrity, lyrical prose in one can’t put down package.” That is true praise. You can read the whole review on her website at http://archiestandwoodsreviewsandwritings.blogspot.com. Or you can get your own copy of the Amazon e-book here. It is also available on most other e-book retailers.

Today is a sad day for science fiction and the writing and acting community as a whole. We must say goodbye to a part of our childhoods, a man who made us laugh, cry, and provided a fair and balanced look at the world and society through the Star Trek​ franchise. Goodbye, Leonard Nimoy. You will be missed, cherished for your contributions to society, and remembered. Live long and prosper.

While the serialized episodes of my latest series, The Priors (Amazon or B&N), have been coming out each week over the last couple months, I’d like to announce the release of both e-books in their entirety tomorrow, February 1st. Also, a special shout out to Simon Critchell, graphic artist with S&S Creative, for the cover work. If you are a fan of vampires, evolved humans, government abduction, and parallel universes, The Priors is for you! 

Here is what Ramona Plant from the Paranormal and Horror Lovers Goodreads group had to say after reading her ARC of Book 1, To Kill a Priest:

“Weston is quickly becoming one of my favorites authors out there. This book is absolutely mind blowing and makes it impossible for you to put it down. This book is so unique and different from anything I have ever read.”

The entire review can be found on Goodreads.com.


The Priors – Book 1, To Kill a Priest: (Available for pre-order until February 1st)
Episodes 1-9 

The universe is much larger than people think—with worlds spanning into infinity and human kind evolving into everything from vampires to the unknown. Are you one of these unlucky few?

Madelin is, and the government black-op agency called PASTOR knows it. To free herself from their clandestine clutches, she will have to trust an unknown godfather… the only family she has left after the agency’s murderous tendencies. As she strives to overcome her medically induced amnesia, she and her newfound friends must test the limits of this world and break them. The government has secret plans for her future if she remains… but will the next world be any better?

Barnes and Noble

The Priors – Book 2, To Kill an Assassin: (Available for pre-order until February 1st)

Episodes 10-18 

Mutations abound in far-reaching worlds and some planes are being devastated by war. The PASTOR agency has an agenda to do so much more… including ruling them all.

It is up to Madelin and her evolved friends to not only stop the black-op agency, but free the other victims—including those attempting to kill her. She must discover her own abilities and learn to harness them… or else entire worlds will be overrun.

Even then… it may be too late.

Dale Herring of The Geekdom of Gore just posted his personal review of A Life of Death, Book 2: The Golden Bulls, and I couldn’t be more excited.

When you send a novel to a book reviewer for an honest review, you really have no idea what their reaction will be. Book reviewers can be some of the harshest critics or the most adamant supporters, but it’s wonderful to read what they really think. For an author, it’s paramount to contact book reviewers and literary critics. Their posts go out to hundreds if not thousands of readers looking for the best recommendations on books to pick up.

So, without further ado, check out Dale Herring’s thoughts on book 2 of A Life of Death.

I am happy to announce a guest post on the Wag the Fox book blog. It’s about psychics and the supernatural–exploring the potential truths of ghosts and the paranormal. Paranormal books are all the rage right now, as are ghost hunting shows, but how much of that is real and how much speculation? Would you have abilities if you had the choice?

I am happy to announce a new series that will be released serialized and later in two complete books.

The Priors is a tale of parallel worlds, child abduction, a black-ops agency fronting as priests, and the struggle to make amends for horrific past decisions. This fantasy tale includes vampires, sagging creatures known as the Pazzege’tuk who are linked to humans along a different evolutionary track, and human shifters who evolve in early childhood. With The Priors, nothing is as it seems. 

Simon Critchell with S & S Creative did a wonderful job with the covers. And here they are for the first time. Part 1 is To Kill a Priest. Part 2 is titled To Kill an Assassin. Episode 1 of this thrilling chase begins Friday, December 19 and will be available for free on Barnes and Noble and similar sites.

A very thorough reader and book reviewer recently read A Life of Death and did something that impressed me. I’d never seen something like this done before, but it was really cool.

Glenda Bixler at Book Reader’s Heaven chose not only to review the book, but to also incorporate sections of the initial chapters, summarizing other parts and taking her fans on a journey into A Life of Death. She incorporated pictures representing key pieces from the novel and really did a wonderful job.

If you want a great experience and to learn about new books, this is one site you should bookmark and keep coming back to for your next read. Glenda is a wealth of information and full of surprises. Stop by Book Reader’s Heaven to start your next adventure.

Ever dreamed of something unsettling—sometimes horrifying, other times so vivid you feel like you’ve woken up from a memory, and still others that cause you to panic like a cornered rabbit?
I’m not that anxious of a person—pretty laid back if you know me—but last night was filled with one of those disturbing dreams that made me check to see if rabbit droppings were strewn from the window to my bedside. This isn’t the Matrix, but last night’s dream could easily have fit into the trilogy of movies. For me, sometimes dreams like that can lead to story ideas, but thus far I’ve got nothing. So, I thought I’d share what woke me up panicked repeatedly this Thanksgiving eve.
It started off on a good note, with a new high school English teaching job. I don’t know why, but my current job was at a BB-Q and burger joint that doubled as an indoor water park. (Don’t ask how or why. I don’t know. Just go with it.)
The school year started the very next day. Before the school day started, I was struggling to get my teaching supplies out of the back office of the BBQ joint—yes, beyond the water slides and spinning oversized waterpark castles. I half expected Kirby to come spurting out of one. While freaking out about being late to my first-period class, I arrived to discover I had forgotten an essential box. I’m not sure what it contained that I couldn’t do without, but I skipped out during class and went back to that soggy burger establishment.
When I arrived, somehow the waterpark had grown, the wading pool overtaking the entire center area with the cedar-sided restaurant lining the sides like a Wild West town in some uncanny carnival. Trekking through the knee-high waves, dozens of kids spun around on Rubbermaid castles, spraying me down like I was on fire. I somehow made it to the storage room for the box then ventured back out. It was insane! In seconds more castles sprouted up, drenching me and crowding in as I tried to make my way back to the entrance.
I never did find out how the first day of the job went or whether I got laid off, because the waves and water weighed me down more and more. I was slogging forward at just an inch a step. A deluge assaulted me from every angle, and I could barely catch a breath.
I finally awoke for the third and final time in two hours, my heart pounding in my chest like a metronome on fast forward. I honestly think there must have been something in the turkey this Thanksgiving, because that was one rollercoaster ride I never saw coming.

Some people say dreams are how your subconscious speaks to you, telling you what you’re going through or what’s stressing you. Although the study of dreams has intrigued me, I really don’t know what in the world this one might be saying. Any ideas?
