Novel Blurb:

Other developments I wanted to share are that Victim One and Tenth, both of these short stories are being published in a magazine and an anthology!! My goal this year is to publish in as many magazines as possible all while still producing novels for you. So far so good!! When they are officially out for sale, I’ll update you all.

MORE New Releases Coming Soon! — Derek Barton – 2023

New Book Releases

This has been a very productive year for me! I have already this year produced two novels, The Flight of The Dirithi and The Lineage of Prophecy: Pawns & Pieces as well as the first magazine edition of With Malice back in February! I am pleased to announce that the highly anticipated sequel The Lineage of Prophecy: The Deity Staff will be out in a matter of weeks! I am just finalizing the last wave of editing and personally working with the cover artist to get the best cover possible.

The other big news I have is that I have compiled and re-edited the Elude novels. The Elude: Complete Series will also be out in a week or two at the most. It will have a brand new cover (I did the original covers but felt it would be nice for something new and exciting!). It will also have a bonus chapter not included before.

For the first quarter of next year, I plan on doing the same compilation into one larger novel for the Evade Series! It will also have a new cover.

Besides working on the final book for The Lineage of Prophecy: Beyond The Barrier of Storms, I will be focusing on publishing short stories for magazines. I plan on writing one horror short story each month if possible like The Wheels On The Bus, Victim One or Echoes (now called Vicious Cycle). I will give you guys advance screening on here so don’t worry! I hope with publishing on a more national platform, I can grow my readership.

And just saying… but if you guys wanted to help, putting simple reviews and posts on Facebook with a copy of a book would be awesome and also help me out immensely. For anyone who does, I am currently working to get some unique, collectable metal bookmarks made for all of my works. I will send a free one of your choice if you send me or #tag me on a post! They will be similar to these:

Once I have tackled and bested the beast that Beyond The Barrier of Storms will be and have completed the Wyvernshield Series, I hope to delve further into the horror story lines I Still Burn and the sequel to the Elude Series. By the end of 2024, I hope to return and start exploring the world of Akkei Maliss from my Dirithi series.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience as I write in both of these fun, thrilling genres. I hope to continue to satisfy your hunger for epic fantasy and dark horror!
