PEOPLE HAVE TOLD me for years that I should go to Dragon*Con in Atlanta, but I never found a good reason – while it’s a huge convention (30,000+ attendees) – it’s known for being a SF/F/Gaming con, not a horror home. Nevertheless, this year when I found out Covenant was being released…
John Everson’s one busy man: Over the past 15 years, his fiction has appeared in over 50 magazines, and among his novels, his 2004 COVENANT took the Bram Stoker Award for best first novel. COVENANT has just been released as an affordable mass market paperback by Leisure Books . ….
And so it begins! I’ve spent the past few months getting ready and now it’s really, finally here. The countdown clock on my website currently reads just 2 days ’til the mass market debut of Covenant (and actually, a few folks already have copies, since Amazon.com and the Leisure Book Club already started…

BACK FROM THE Wisconsin Dells today… and for the first time in 42 years, I finally got on a water slide (as a rollercoaster afficionado, that’s like, long overdue!!!) I haven’t looked at the pix we took, but potentially, a death defying drop photo is coming soon. I just sent…
IT’S BEEN SOMETHING of a whirlwind week for me – hard to believe that a week ago I was just getting home from the Milwaukee Massacre at the Wisconsin State Fair Park grounds. That’s because just a couple days later I hopped a plane for San Francisco for a business…
Burbank, California April 12, 2008 I HAD A BUSINESS TRIP planned to Los Angeles this weekend, and so a few weeks ago I called up Del and Sue at Dark Delicacies Bookstore and asked if they wanted me to come down for a signing… they ended up setting up a “mega-signing”…
LAST YEAR, FOR NO good reason, Bill Breedlove and I decided to roadtrip to WHC in Toronto. It was a great time, and somehow we didn’t kill each other over the music selections for the trip. So this year, when we decided our press Dark Arts Books was going to…
