Mik Murdoch 4 is Underway The story for Mik Murdoch 4 has been in my mind for well over a year. The problem was, I was busy with other books that had to come first. When I finished the last of those books (Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie Masters) it was finally time to work on Mik. So, I began plotting the story. And then I plotted some more.

Cover Reveal – Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie Masters
Cover Reveal – Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie Masters The cover for Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie Masters is here and I couldn’t be happier! This cover is definitely darker in tone than the first two but I think it is an awesome zombie novel cover.

I have an idea, I sit down and I write until I can’t write anymore. Usually, I’m discovering the story as I go. Yes, there have been occasions when I’ve planned a story before writing it (e.g. Jack Kane and the Statue of Liberty, which I co-wrote with JR Murdock), but for the most part…pantster. Definitely. Except, I can’t do that with a series. At least, I can’t do it as much. Why? Several reasons. Why a Series Won’t Support Pantster Writing I learned early on when […]
