Chelsea Burton Dunn 2024 | The Writer's Bunkhouse 12/23/2024

Chelsea Burton Dunn 2024 | The Writer's Bunkhouse ABOUT CHELSEA BURTON DUNN Chelsea Burton Dunn is a Kansas City native – the Missouri side not the Kansas side. That matters to locals. Where is that you might ask? Right, smack-dab in the middle of the country. She has two beautiful children and is married to a superb partner, but let’s not forget their two snuggly cats and eager-eater of a dog. Having always been a little strange herself, she instantly fell in love with paranormal, supernatural, and fantasy books, movies and tv shows as a child. Did everyone think it was a phase? Absolutely. Was it? Absolutely not. Being weird is a blessing, not a curse. She’s always embraced that part of herself and those around her. She started writing from a very early age, actually finishing a vampire novel in high school, but had a bad experience with self publishing and has sense left that world she created behind, though she does boast a tattoo of a spade on her finger in its honor. She is a lover of music, having her other love and talent be for singing. She performed on main stage operas in the children’s chorus from grade school to high school. Chelsea loves to delve into the difficulties of life, love, and loss, while spicing it up with a little magic and monsters. As she liked to say when she was younger, “the monsters in my head need to come out to play every once in a while,” so giving them life on the page seemed appropriate. You can see more about Chelsea, her projects, and find her social medias by going to ABOUT KILLERS NEVER DIE Ten years after the ritual that changed everything, Ace is now not only an Elder alongside her mate Nero, but the mother of a vampire child named Octavian. But the miraculous nature of his existence isn’t the only thing that has Ace wondering what’s in store for them. The tenuous alliance between the witches and the werewolves seems to be unraveling. Additionally, Srinta—Nero’s sire and the first of their bloodline—seems to be going insane with fear over a demon that Ace and Nero have never heard of before. Ace believes the witches are planning something catastrophic. Will she and the others find a way to thwart the plan, or will they suffer the consequences? ******************************************************************** Available from 4 Horsemen Publications Order Chelsea's books today for 10% off!

Now, she, her mother and her two sisters must leave behind everything they’ve ever known while relying on the charity of others to begin again. Stranded in a new place with relative strangers, the Dashwoods try to stay a family while they work through their grief and find out if life can go on. Will the family survive in-tact? Will Maggie discover her true self? This modern-day retelling of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility is full of heart, tears, and ultimately, triumph. ******************************************************************** Available from 4 Horsemen Publications Order AR'S books today for 10% off!

JP Corwyn 2024 | The Writer's Bunkhouse 12/16/2024

JP Corwyn 2024 | The Writer's Bunkhouse ABOUT JP Corwyn How could you be so blind? You haven’t heard of JP Corwyn? Haven’t seen him live? Haven’t heard his music? How embarrassing for you! It’s okay. You’re in the right place. For JP, the rationale for the blind jokes is, well, reasonable. He is legally blind. Born with a degenerative eye condition; his genre tags of Blind Indie Rock, and now Blind Indie Prose make more sense. Otherwise, he’d just be sort of pretentious and snarky, but not in the fun depraved sitcom way. Corwyn’s vocal-driven indie rock style is infectious, described as “Shinedown and Angie Aparo on a tour bus … with Stevie Wonder driving!” On vocals and acoustic guitar, Corwyn has helmed an EP, four full-length albums, and numerous single releases thus far in his career. He has taken a raw, and unplugged show from Tampa, up the east coast to New York, overseas to the UK, EU, and Asia, and back again. But Corwyn’s harbored a dark, secret obsession throughout his musical career: his other driving force – writing fiction. Corwyn started work on “The Cycle of Bones” in early 2019. This epic multi-book series burned its way onto the literary scene with the novella “The Dawn of Unions” (November 2019). It has continued with the novels “The Drums of Unrest;” (November 2020), and “The Eaters of Time;” (September 2022). Combining his passions, JP has recorded soundtracks for the first two books, including an original cinematic score and songs appearing in the pages of the novels. Yep, he’s blind. But he’s hardly unaware. So why should you be? ABOUT THE EATERS OF TIME In the north When an unknown enemy army appears as if by magic near the count’s encampment, Lady Kastan must outthink, outrun, and outfight their vanguard. After witnessing strange sorcery that hints at a monstrous secret, she knows death is on the wind. Can she warn the nearby encampment in time? To rescue her kidnapped son, Lashjuk sneaks behind enemy lines. New to the way of the spear, and wielding a power she’s just beginning to understand, she’ll be forced to play a deadly game of cat and mouse if she has any hope of bringing her boy home. In the south As cradle-tale monsters attack northern Thorion, the newly minted Sir Kaith’s courage and skill as a leader will be pushed to the limit. Can the young knight ward off the attackers, counter their cunning, and save the settlement before it’s too late? Meanwhile, alone and unsupported, Sir Jastar begins the delicate and dangerous work of infiltrating the once-haunted lands north of Thorion. Unprepared for both who and what he finds, the enormity of his task begins to overwhelm him. Can Jast unearth the secrets of this land’s power in time to save the Thorion Throne? ******************************************************************** Available from 4 Horsemen Publications Order JP'S books today for 10% off!

ABOUT THE COAL ELF Ember Skye is a fed-up teenaged Coal Elf with a big ashy chip on her shoulder. Torn away from her carefree life Aboveground, she was forced into a world of dirt and darkness in the Mines. Now, the coal is starting to take its toll. Plus, being the only girl-elf coal miner at the North Pole is not fun at all! Then there’s Sturd—a power-hungry, twisted elf with a serious grudge against Ember. Hellbent on overthrowing the hierarchy, he leaves the smoking gun in Ember’s lap: the Naughty List. When a mysterious illness threatens to decimate elves both Above- and Underground, Ember is thrust into a journey that will see her confront the demons of her past and lead her straight to the head of the North Pole himself. ******************************************************************** Available from 4 Horsemen Publications Order Maria's books today for 10% off!

Amanda Fasciano Interview 2024 | The Writer's Bunkhouse 10/29/2024

Amanda Fasciano Interview 2024 | The Writer's Bunkhouse ABOUT AMANDA FASCIANO Growing up in a haunted house and having a father who loved horror set the stage for Amanda’s creative life. This Urban Fantasy author has been writing since her teen years, blending horror, fantasy, and the paranormal. Amanda balances a day job, her writing, her family, and helps her husband run a board game group and YouTube channel, Tabletop Misfits. Local to Southwest Florida and a total geek you can often find her at conventions as either an attendee or a vendor/guest. ABOUT DEAD CARNAGE All everyone wants to do is catch their breath. With Cadence’s brother and the head of Southern Paranormal Investigations gone, Cadence, Aiden, and Derrick struggle to move past the deaths of those dearest to them. They want to breathe and grieve, taking a moment for some quiet time out of danger. With X’Haldzos released from Scarecrow Farms, however, they have more pressing concerns as one-safe spaces are being demolished. The ghostly team will be shaken to its core as the dangers and casualties mount. Andy is trying to find his way in the now far more complicated and dangerous waters of his job when things take a turn. Now he’s faced with choosing to meet his enemy head on or spending the rest of his life looking over his shoulder. Meanwhile, Cadence is reeling, not only from what happened, but from the implications of what could come as she’s caught in the crossfire of the grim chaos that’s enveloped the world. With X’Haldzos free to roam, no one is safe: not mortal, not spirit, not even the Gods themselves. Breath catching is going to have to wait. He must be defeated. But how? And whose life may it cost this time? ******************************************************************** Available from 4 Horsemen Publications Order Amanda's books today for 10% off!

Sarah Seado Interview 2024 | The Writer's Bunkhouse 10/22/2024

Sarah Seado Interview 2024 | The Writer's Bunkhouse ABOUT SARA SEADO Hailing from a sleepy southern Florida town, Sarah has spent most of her life pursuing creativity and art. She has a Bachelor’s in Marketing, experience working in the music industry, magazine publishing, and finally a short stint in the fashion world. After having experienced every exciting avenue available to a dreamer, she recently discovered her love for writing and has dreamed Lorian Hollow into existence. The Houses of Lorian Hollow series has a cult following of devoted readers who love and love to hate her complex characters. With The Soundtrack to Your Scream receiving high praise upon release, the series and Sarah were quickly picked up by 4 Horsemen Publishing. Chaotic, sweet, weird, and slightly wheels off, Sarah Seado continues to write with the help of her trusted canine sidekicks Frankenstein and Igor. ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR SCREAM As a Lorian Hollow Guardian, Joan protects the Evolved from themselves and their secrets from the outside world. Rebellious, tattooed, and curvaceous, this Twizzler-addicted firecracker finds herself chasing a murderer whose sights are set on her. To save the women of Lorian Hollow, Joan takes a wild ride through the shadowy world of Necromancy and ritual murder, hastily searching the town for the killer before more innocent people die. As she begins to unravel the murders, getting closer and closer to the culprit, she finds herself unearthing secrets about her best friend, Judas Lorian, and the town. Lorian Hollow drips of Old-Florida with its Spanish moss drapes, audacious humidity, buzzing insects, and the scent of orange blossoms. October is a special time for the residents, marking the town’s 600th anniversary with a body count. Everyone is scrambling to hide the ritualistic murders anywhere, including the local swamp! This is a Florida-based story and author with mystery, paranormal, and occult complete with the quirky vibes of a body-positive contemporary adventure. ******************************************************************** Available from 4 Horsemen Publications Preorder today for 15% off!
