So, as I mentioned last week, I spent a couple of weeks in the Beautiful Cook Islands. For those not familiar with them, they are a collection of Polynesian Islands not too far from New Zealand. If you ever have the chance to go, I highly recommend it! For those wondering what I did sitting on a beach with next to no internet? Got an awful lot of writing done...
And fishing!!
You wouldn't know it from my books, but I spent a lot of my childhood on fishing boats! I've got to say The Cook Islands have some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. We went with Akura Charters and caught three mahi mahi (they were delicious!). Best part? We got a couple steaks and the rest were distributed to to local restaurants. We also saw a couple of humpback whales.
The fish I reeled in back at the docks!
note: mine is bigger.
A lot of people have been asking me when my KINCAID STRANGE series will be available in the US. The answer? Summer 2017 will see the ebook and physical book in US stores and online.
In the meantime, you can still grab the Audiobook from Audible and now order a physical copy through Amazon.com or BookOutlet USA directly. $7.99 USD + 3.99 SH.

“What a rush! Highly entertaining, original, and brimming with wit—and zombies in closets—I loved The Voodoo Killings. Can’t wait for the next!” —Julie E. Czerneda, author of This Gulf of Time and Stars
“This was an absolute delight to read. With a smart, cynical hero and zombies whose morals are as gray as the brains they snack on, The Voodoo Killings offers a fun and creepy new world—or two—to get lost in.” —Patrick Weekes, author of the Rogues of the Republic series
