Ledge: Matthew’s chronicle: Available at Coffeetree Books

Devoted Readers-

Hello! Boy-Howdy has it been a while! I promised to stay in touch more often, but life has a way of happening and time is nothing but a folly, and it slips by most men as fast as a fool and his money. What I’m trying to say is, time it slips completely away from me. However, it hasn’t been completely wasted. I have gotten lost in my greatest love, which is writing. Currently, I’m hard at work on the “The Darkest Hours: A Collection” This is going to be a collection of short stories and novellas. Currently, I’m hard at work slaving away on Hunter’s Moon which is the story of Logean Redding, and her journey is a descent into darkness. Even as I write Logean’s story, and it is a powerful one, it is a great place for a horror writer to be when the work surprises and even startles the creator.  The writing is going well, but it is that pesky adversary called time that makes completing the work the real challenge. Logean’s story will probably be one of the longest stories in the collection, but it is also a story with its share of twist. I’m a writer who likes to tell good stories, and right now, I feel like I’m telling a great one.

In the meantime, you can currently check out my newest novel, Ledge: Matthew’s Chronicle which is now available at regional booksellers like Coffeetree Books in Morehead, Ky. As I have stated in many posts Devoted Readers, I strongly support independent booksellers over the mainstream chains simply because they share a bond with independent artists like me. It is truthfully about respect and love formed with the relationship of region and community. We support each other because we walk those same streets and are dependent upon each other for that support. Wherever you are, devoted Reader, give back to your home and support your independent booksellers like they support independent artists. It’s a great way to give back to your community.

While Ledge is a different piece of writing, (even I say it is more of a literary work than a horror novel, although there is definitely the element of horror in it) it is a powerful and character driven work. I hope you enjoy those characters as much as I did writing it, and in response to all those letters (you know who you are) I will, in the future, be re-visiting the world of The First Of Faith in Matthew’s second chronicle, right now, which I currently have outlined, but I have not begun writing it yet.

I want to thank each of you, Devoted Readers, for your support and prayers. I have made it a resolution to keep each of you more informed in 2011 than I did in 2010. Be sure to check out this website for future information straight from the horse’s mouth, about my other and novels. I couldn’t do this without you, Devoted Reader, each of you, is any answer to a lonely man’s prayer. There are more stories to tell, and they’re coming, Devoted Readers, to this, all I can simply say is: You’ve been warned…..

Until Next time-

Best Of Everything,

John Braxton Sparks
