Yo! Gard here! I thought I'd stop by and let you all know that the folks at Pendragon Press in Wales have given me the green light! I can announce that "Bite", my debut novella, is now officially available for pre-order! :) YEAHHH! I hope you like it! Here's the blog post at my writer's blog, aptly titled Gardner Goldsmith dot com. Spread the word! Pendragon has the UK and EU rights, but they will ship the book anywhere, so US, Canada, Australia, Mexico, it's all good, fellow Conspirators!

Here's more info on the book, and a couple blog posts that show you the amazing artwork and nice blurbs from some of my favorite authors!

With a career that spanned westerns, science-fiction, fantasy, horror, suspense and even non-fiction, Richard Matheson has had the greatest influence on contemporary genre television, books, and film of any writer. Rest in peace, Mr. Matheson. You changed many of our lives with your ideas and style, your drive to create and entertain, your drive to investigate the worlds beyond this world.

From the UA Army to writing to support a family, he never looked back. A founding member of the unofficial California School, Mr. Matheson influenced everyone from Stephen King (who said he would not be a writer if it weren't for Mr. Matheson), to F. Paul Wilson.

For those unfamiliar, a starter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Matheson

The author of such astounding work as "Farenheit 451" and "Something Wicked This Way Comes", has died. He was productive until his final days. A great stylist, his beautiful form of writing was matched by his stories themselves. He has left an indellible mark on the world and the fiction of the world. Rest in peace, Mr. Bradbury.

Yep! The penultimate Repairman Jack Novel is OUT! Take a look-see! And remember, the NYT "bestsellers" list is compiled using a strange, mystical algorythm in which its not just numbers, but numbers in the FIRST TWO WEEKS that determine whether something is listed. If you order these now, you help cement a better position for the books!

And try this on for size. Stephen Jones does great work compiling the best in the horror field!

Those who have gotten to hear our conversation with Jonathan Oliver might like to tell their friends about the great books he and his team publish.

Intrigued about the work of this breakthrough writer? Wanna go beyond what you learned in our featured interview with Wrath? Then visit the Horror Mall, or go to Wrath's Blog site! It's at http://wordsofwrath.blogspot.com!

We've posted the first of Sam's talks on Marlowe and Shakespeare, as well as the first part of Sam's lecture series on the history of government destruction of American education, and how you can tutor your child to save his future. For more of Sam's education series, go to his great website:

Tell as many as you can, because too many kids are being destroyed by the dumbed-down, look-say education system of the US government school systems.
