News from the Book Tour:

A gracious thanks go out to the Elks Club of Grayling for their steak dinner this past weekend. It is strongly recommended by the Dogman for anybody traveling to Grayling for next year’s AuSable Festival. They cooked up a steak the size of my foot along with all the fixin’s. And they delivered it right to the little blue tent!

There were a TON of fans out in Grayling, Indian River, and Charlevoix, and we collected several stories on haunted houses and potential monster sightings.

We head out to Lexington this upcoming weekend, and then we’re slated for a three day showing in Onekama at the Manistee County Fairgrounds. Of course, you can see our full 2009 tour schedule through the link below. Hopefully we’ll be haunting a town near you:

So, what else am I up to these days? I’ve started work on the sequel to my fantasy adventure novel The Longquist Adventures: Western Odyssey. Not too many details are out at this time, but we can tell you it involves Vikings, buried treasure, and sea monsters.

There are also some very early ideas being kicked around for the 2010 Dogman novel. Yes, I’m going to write another one! For those of you who have read the Nagual: Dawn of the Dogmen novel, you know there are a number of new elements that were introduced, including a mysterious government agent and the historical origins of the Dogmen. Both of these elements will be expanded upon in future Dogman novels.


Dogman Merchandise:

We still have the official Dogman Survival Guide t-shirts available. Only $10 on our website, they come in all sizes S-3X and include good advice: Don’t Go Out At Night!

We have also unveiled the new LATEST t-shirt design! They are BLACK with ripped claw marks across the front, the beast peering through from the back. The logo says, “I don’t have to outrun the Dogman, I just have to outrun you!” These are currently only available at our book signings, so make sure to stop out and see us and pick yours up.

Remember, 10% of all sales go to support the Cheboygan Humane Society.
