Just One More Bite… Another Sneak Peek Into ECLIPSE! — Derek Barton, 2025


(IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE FIRST SNEAK PEEK, CLICK HERE!)

โ€œJesus, Doc,โ€ he muttered. โ€œAm I going to be alright?โ€

โ€œYou are under the best care in Chicago, and Iโ€™ll be making weekly visits to the rehab to ensure your recovery is going as planned. The surgeries sound scarier than they really are, I promise. The brain damage you suffered can be handled. The movement in your arm and hand will resume by the end of the year. You are young. Your body can work miracles, you will see.โ€

Mitch shifted under the sheets. His back ached from the prolonged time in one position. โ€œHow long do you think Iโ€™ll need to stay in the hospital โ€“ I mean, the rehab facility?โ€

โ€œNormally, for one skull fracture surgery, you can expect a twelve-week recovery period. However, since you suffered the dual cracks and adding in the time, youโ€™ll need manual movement therapy, it may take you through July or August. That is, of course, provided you donโ€™t have any infections or setbacks from the surgeries.โ€

Mitch felt his shoulders slump as a huge weight settled upon them. The news hit him hard.

His normal dark thoughts had descended into anger and misery. His life as he knew it was snubbed short and may be permanently altered. He was a prisoner to his body and what it demanded now to rebuild and recoup.

Donโ€™t worry. Youโ€™re free nowโ€ฆ We have a lot to plan for in the future. New pleasures like you have never had before. That wispy voice spoke in his mind, as if somehow spoken behind him. It had an unusual feeling with it. Like an itch you couldnโ€™t reach, yet not necessarily uncomfortable.

Once you called me vileโ€ฆ I like that. You may address me as Vile. Iโ€™m here now.

You are free. And we are unleashedโ€ฆ

****

โ€œThat was pretty good. You got to the sixth.โ€ Jo Anne replied. โ€œItโ€™s only been a few days since you arrived. It may be a long road ahead, so you must try to have patienceโ€”โ€

A blue flashing light suddenly came to life overhead near the entrance of their therapy room. โ€œCODE GRAY ROOM 207! REPEAT CODE GRAY ROOM 207!โ€ A female voice declared.

Jo Anne leaped from her metal chair. โ€œI have to assist. Stay here, Mitch, and keep practicing. In ten minutes, you can switch and do those planking exercises I showed you yesterday, okay?โ€ She rambled with distraction and bolted down the hall without waiting for his response.

The other two therapists in the room also left to answer the medical emergency.

Mitch pushed the wooden square away from him in disgust, and then looked about the room. Only four other patients remained, absorbed in their exercises.

He scooted his chair back and stood.

Yes. Thatโ€™s good. Take it, take this opportunity. He will be aloneโ€ฆ Vileโ€™s voice, whispering from within the dark confines of his mind, urged him on.

The image of an elderly black man popped up. Mr. Coranell. Dwight Edwards Coranell. Room 403. Two rooms north of his own.

Two nights ago, Monday, January 28th, Coranell was brought in. The man had been injured in a fall in his grandsonโ€™s home. Along with the broken hip, the man suffered from long-term dementia.

At 9:33 PM, every night since his admission, Coranell began an unending tirade of cursing and indecipherable screaming. The medical staff had eventually been forced to sedate him. Quickly, Mitch learned that after three or more hours, the drugs would wear off and the litany of gibberish would play out again.

At 5:47 AM, Mitch demanded earplugs from the staff. He became so irate that he was also threatened with sedation. He stifled his true thoughts as he hated the fuzziness and mind fog that the drugs would bring. Being medicated would only delay his rehabilitation.

Now, as he crept along the hallway toward the stairwell, he grew excited and anxious. His hands became sweaty, and his heart raced with excitement.

Can you do it? Are you hungry enough for this, Mitch?

I am. I am! The old bastard deserves it, heโ€™s got it coming!

Carefully, he poked his head inside the stairwell, scanning the steps leading up to the other floors. They were empty. He snuck through and ascended as fast as he could. His window would be short. Jo Anne and the others would surely be returning, or the nurse on their floor would be at her post.

Yes, it has to be now, Vile continued. You know you wonโ€™t have this chance again. Are you going for the blood? You could rub it on your face, maybe even taste it?

NO! Iโ€™ll be caught. I canโ€™t. Iโ€ฆ I will have to be happy with just the act of silencing him.

Butโ€ฆ Vile objected. Its tone was petulant.

If they find me covered in his blood, Iโ€™ll never be allowed another opportunity.

The voice went quiet.

He poked his head in through the door to his floor, following his same scouting process. 

The room was dark, cold, and had that antiseptic clinic smell choking the air. A pair of monitors loomed over the bed. Wires and sensors were connected to Dwightโ€™s prone form. The manโ€™s heavy breathing rasped in and out, churning like an over-taxed engine. He was sedated and sleeping โ€“ oblivious to the world around him.

Mitch stood only a few feet away. His body was rigid. Sweat trickled from his brow and temples. He repeatedly clenched and unclenched his large fists.

Vile tried once more. What do you want to do, Mitch? Heโ€™s all yours for the taking. 

He did not respond. He remained frozen from the wicked combination of dark needs versus anxious fear. A wrong move or an overlooked detail could result in an investigation leading directly to him. 

Mitch was incredibly intelligent and always thorough. In all of his imagined scenarios, he scanned them from every possible angle, every point of view. In his mind, he had all the time in the world to execute his precise plans. 

But here, in the murky gloom of the manโ€™s room, he didnโ€™t have time as a luxury. The pressure choked his primal drive. His conflict paralyzed him.

Maybe I can get the pillow, he mused.

You are fucking kidding, right? You want to puss out with a lame smothering? NO! Make an example of him โ€” make his mutation an affront! Throw it in their face! Vile was seething.

โ€œWhโ€”what?โ€ Mitch gasped.

Show them all this is what youโ€™ll do when they stand in your way! They canโ€™t expect you to accept this bawling lunatic! Rip his face off, put it on the chair by the door. Squeeze his throat till his eyes pop and then openโ€”

ENOUGH! Mitch screamed inside his mind. His hands clamped to the sides of his head. I AM IN CONTROL HERE! I decide when and how. You want blood, but I want more than thatโ€ฆ I want more than one old, tattered man who isnโ€™t even awake to scream for me. Vile, you answer to me!


So… hooked yet? Don’t worry! You and Vile can satisfy your bloodlust in October when I officially release ECLIPSE PART I! Then the whole story series will be released in March or April, 2026.

Online Writers Group/workshop — Derek Barton, 2025

Through Superprof.com, a private tutor app, I will be able to offer an online writers workshop and help guide new writers, providing tips and resources. Each of my lessons is personalized, results-oriented, and motivational.

Harness The Power of Audible! — Derek Barton, 2025

The ease of access and the availability of audiobooks have increased dramatically over the recent years. The potential to reach more readers and have increased sales is too critical for you as a writer not to explore. In his article, Audiobook Statistics by Market Size, Sales and Demographics, Pramrod Pawar of Coolest-Gadgets.com states: 

  • In 2022, audiobook sales in the United States generated over USD 1.81 billion.
  • The number of US adults listening to audiobooks has more than doubled in the past 10 years.
  • Younger people are more likely to consume audiobooks, with 57% of Americans under 50 listening to audiobooks in 2021.
  • Mystery and Thriller are the top genres, enjoyed by 55% of listeners.
  • Science Fiction and Fantasy are also popular, with 48% of listeners enjoying these genres.

On a personal note, as a new author, I never thought I could have an audiobook version of my book. The investment costs and finding quality talent were quite daunting. However, when I took the plunge and started the ball rolling, I found the whole experience very rewarding and valuable. My story became a โ€œplay inside my mindโ€ when I listened to the audio version for the first time. The Elude series is my best-selling books and I credit the audio version for the reason why!


So first, you create your account on ACX.com (a division of Amazon.com). Then youโ€™ll need to โ€œClaim Your Titleโ€ which is a button found at the bottom of the screen. You can use your bookโ€™s title, your author name, or the ISBN to bring up your book. From the list provided, you should then be able to see and select your book.

  • Decision #1: Are you going to work with a narrator or use previously recorded files.ย 

Here you will need to decide if you are open to getting narrator auditions or if you want to go with a known narrator (someone you have already contacted and worked out an agreement for them to do your story) OR if you have narrated the story yourself and already have a prepared file. ACX does have very specific requirements and quality expectations. (Here is the link to those standard expectations.) Be sure to review those and match them before submitting your story for Quality approval.

  • Decision #2: what kind of narrator do you want?

ACX has literally thousands of voice actors waiting to audition and willing to work hard on your story. To narrow down the list, they have filters for genre, language, accent, voice age, vocal style, and location. These will help you to select the few actors you want to reach out to directly. Iโ€™d recommend maybe a dozen to start. You will also get auditions sent to you if you want.ย 

  • Decision #3: what kind of financing amount are you willing to invest in the project?

One other key aspect youโ€™ll want to determine is how you want to pay for the narratorโ€™s service. Professional narrators can charge $200 to 400 per recorded hour upfront. One recorded hour is around 9,000 words. If you cannot afford that, another possibility is what is called Royalty Share. Amazon decides on the total sale price of the audiobook and then takes 60% of the retail price. The remaining 40% royalty is then split between you and the narrator for each sale. When you filter for narrators, you can set it to show only Royalty Share, Royalty Share Plus (narrators who will share the royalties as before but want a little extra upfront too), or Pay Per Hour Costs (ranging from $50 to $1000 per hour).ย 

  • Decision #4: working through the auditions and finding the right voice for your story.

It is very important you find the right person to tell your story. I know I have stopped listening to a story if I didnโ€™t like the voice. Many other readers will too. The voice captures the readerโ€™s attention and brings the story to life in a whole new way. You will get all sorts of types of actors and auditions. I have even gotten auditions read with very heavy accents or even โ€œbroken Englishโ€ which is not at all what I was looking for. Be kind, be tactful, but be honest and know what you want. Once the recording is finished and published, it is extremely difficult to get corrections or changes made!  

  • Decision #5: determine due dates of the 15-min sample and when the final recording is due.

Once you have contacted the narrator that you like and they have agreed to do the project, you will send them a business contract through ACX. It will stipulate the payment plan and the due dates. Normally, I give the narrator one to three months to produce the recording based on the size of the project. The 15-minute sample is a recording the narrator will make and send to you showcasing their tone, pacing, accents, etc. This is a binding business contract but if I have a good relationship with the narrator, I will give them leeway for personal events like illness or other life disruptions. If you rush or pressure the narrator, it could impact the quality of the production. Should you and the narrator have any serious issues or conflicts, you can contact ACX Support to end the contract and stop the production. It is a hassle so be sure you really want to go that route.ย 

  • Decision #6: Approve and submit to Audible for their approval. Carefully review the audio files listening for mistakes, word omits, mispronunciations, file recording glitches. The narrator can send you the work chapter by chapter or they may send it all at once. I like to review as they go in order to stop errors from being repeated throughout the book (i.e. mispronounced names, etc). The narrator is expected to read and perform the writing as closely as possible. To reach a bigger audience, some readers look for a feature called Sync (formerly Whispersync) which allows a reader to go from listening to Audible to reading in Kindle and then back to Audible without losing their place in the book. That feature requires the narrator to be at least 96% accurate.ย 

Of course, there may be other considerations and/or minor decisions you will have to make during this process, but I hope I have taken away some of the mystery and fog hiding this key market from new writers. Itโ€™s been a great addition to my work and helped me reach even more readers.

More Screams & Terror coming your way! — Derek Barton, 2024

Happy holidays, everyone! I wanted to take a quick moment to update you on my newest releases, my current works-in-progress, and what I’m planning for in the near future.

NEW RELEASES:

**VICTIMS: A Horror Short Story Collection has been doing well, sold on Amazon & Kindle. S.W. Salzman, my narrator, is wrapping up his production of the Audible version and should be on sale before the end of the year!!

**Two new anthologies will be released before the end of the year. First, is The Weatherly Lane Anthology.

A malicious evil taints the land. Any who step into the house at 1214 Weatherly Lane suffers an unspeakable curse. Witness and live through the multiple encounters, decade by decade.

The second anthology from The Fear House Press is Gates of Hell Unleashed. There isn’t a cover yet, but this is in the works and set to be released soon. My story, Suicide Is For Suckers, will be printed within. It’s a tale of desperation and the drive to survive. Does anyone ever win when they sell their soul to the Devil? When more details and information are released, I will pass it along.

**Wordpeddler Society Magazine’s next issue, the Horror Edition, will feature ME and will be released also by the end of the year. In this edition, I am interviewed about my start, my motivations, and my writing process. Also, I have another short story (never published before) called Beneath The Surface. It’s a horrifying tale where summer camp thrill-seeking and curiosity leads to pure terror.

WORKS-IN-PROGRESS:

**Beyond the Barrier, the last in the Wyvernshield series, is in the final wave of edits. It is slightly behind what I hoped for, but it may be out by the end of 2024 or in the first weeks of January 2025. The cover is in the worksโ€”another knockout beauty by Joy Landa, who designed all the covers of this series!

**The Deity Staff will have an Audible version available in the first half of 2025. Again, this will be performed by the exceptional talent of Laura Richcreek who has done all of the prior books in the series. She has also agreed to lend her talents to Beyond The Barrier in the coming year!

FUTURE PROJECTS:

**Unfortunately, the serial killer drama, Eclipse, will not be continued on Kindle Vella. Amazon has decided to shut down the entire Vella program by February, 2025. Up to that date, you are able to read the released episodes for free! I will continue the novel, and with luck, it will be out by the end of next year. Eclipse is my first, true crime horror novel (no supernatural elements this time!). It also has ties and links to the previous two series, Elude and Evade.

A sadistic new serial killer has the city of Chicago in his grip. A bold, rookie detective haunts his every step. Which will slip up first?

**I have teamed up with a small indie press known as Phoenix Oasis Press and will be working with them on an upcoming literary anthology centered around the theme of “curiosity”. I hope to submit a new short story to them in March, 2025. Publication is expected around August. More details to come.

MISCELLANEOUS:

**I was interviewed recently on Historically Haunted Vodcast last week. Please click here if you’d like to check it out.

**Also, for anyone in the local Phoenix, Arizona area, I will be having a book signing at the SUPERHERO SATURDAY EVENT on January 18th, 2025 at the Metro Mall parking lot area. Come by and say hello! All items will be signed for free!

**Keep an eye out for me on BookTok, a part of TikTok. I hope to release in the coming year videos highlighting my content, new releases, my author life and my writer processes.

Thanks again for all your interest in my work and your support as always!

Breaking Out โ€” Finding The Keys To Get Noticed – Derek Barton, 2024

Every day it is said that at Amazon, two thousand new books are published each day!

Often new authors ask, how do I get noticed in all that? How can I get my head above the flood? Wellโ€ฆIโ€™m still trying to figure that out myself! But I have a couple of suggestions and personal experiences that I can pass along which might help you like they have helped me.

One technique is networking. Much like marketing, when you begin your journey in writing, you never fully anticipate the other aspects to being a writer. I had no idea on how to begin or how to initiate networking! Writing now is far more than simply telling a tale. Thatโ€™s almost the easiest part!

There are many roles you have to take on after youโ€™ve written the manuscript. Editor, marketer, salesman, and ad designer are only a few of the things youโ€™ll need to learn orโ€ฆfind people who are or are willing to work with you. Thus, networking can be a valuable resource. I had great fortune to meet one writer/editor who was willing to share her rules and guidelines for editing. It helped me so much knowing as I wrote what to already watch out for and it saved me time on avoiding those mistakes in the early drafts.

Or another benefit for reaching out and building relationships is you meet others going through the same issues. They may have had success in an area and can give you tips or tricks that moved them forward.

Through networking you can also find opportunities! I have been able to work with some other great authors this way. Tie into an anthology. This not only gets your writing more exposure but allows you some valuable time with people in your field.

One other opportunity I found was I could offer help to others with their early work. One author Iโ€™m currently helping needs assistance in formatting. For a small fee, Iโ€™m helping him at the same time getting money I can put towards an ad campaign to sell my work!

Another network bonus is your readership or fan base can build from it. When youโ€™re work is published with other writers, the other authorโ€™s readership gets to read your writing. This will often lead to new crossover fans. It benefits everyone involved.

The other technique Iโ€™ve learned from experience to get ahead is joining a writing group. Not only will this give you an idea of what is trending in writing and with readers, but it will give you fresh perspectives on similar problems. You share in the group things you are encountering or writing blocks, etc. You can often get advice or maybe leads on how to work out a writing issue, find motivation and inspiration, or even more opportunities to partner in collaborations and anthologies.

My current writing group, called Shut Up & Write meets weekly and provides me a dedicated hour each week that I am free of distractions, a place where no one will interrupt me, and makes me write – no way to give myself an excuse not to write.

In this day and age of the infinite internet, it is easy to get sidetracked.

Plus with this group, we have decided to work on an anthology and pool our resources to get published. We are even going to try to submit our work in competitions or award contests.

So these two minor but powerful techniques have lead me to a couple of anthologies that will be published this year and the next, given me time and discussions with a lot of writers some smaller, some bigger than me and itโ€™s led me to getting exposure on author pod casts!

All has been a rewarding, fantastic boost in my personal journey in writing.

I highly recommend that everyone find a way to network (social media platforms like Facebook, instagram, and X are great ways to start!). And if you have free time, use it to advance your career by joining a writing group. They can provide incredible advice or even an outlet for feedback! Donโ€™t overlook the fact that many groups can offer Zoom meetings and wonโ€™t require you to commute. Meetup.com is a great resource to find local established groups.

New Amazon Vella Story Series! โ€” Derek Barton, 2023


So recently I learned of a new feature for Amazon Kindle. Itโ€™s called Vella. This new platform allows writers to post their work in chapters or โ€œepisodesโ€. Iโ€™m going to experiment with this process using my Evade series.

Every week Iโ€™ll post on my Vella channel (starting this Sunday 12/3/23), an episode with word counts of 600 to the max limit of 5,000. As a reader you can access the episodes by paying tokens. The token costs are minimal. Every 100 words cost 1 token. Also the first three episodes of any series is free to the readers!

Here are the standard token packets:

There are many genres now available on Vella. Including my faves, horror and fantasy.

I chose my Evade Series to start because I had planned already of compiling all three novels, re-editing, and offering in a complete full novel much like I did with Elude.

Depending how this process works out and the results, I might continue with the Dirithi series here or maybe a whole new horror line.

I like the idea of being able to get more content out early to you and I think this will be good to attract more readersโ€™ attention and interest in my other works.

Click on this link to start reading episode 1 now and be sure to save the link so you can visit later easily!

Hope you like this new process as well and you look forward to each weekโ€™s new episode!

A January Production Challenge — Derek Barton – 2022

This year has sure had it’s share of ups and downs for me, like I’m sure most of you can relate. While it was not as difficult and tumultuous as 2020 and 2021, I had more health concerns and some financial set backs.

This year coming up I want to meet head on and see if I can make some headway into my writing production. Currently I have four maybe five story lines fighting for air in my head! Yes, that sort of chaos and confusion does get very annoying to live with! You see, when I as a writer get inspired, the idea remains there in the back of my head almost like a petulant child. They stand with their arms crossed, one foot tapping and their bottom lip pouting — impatient and demanding freedom to grow up and to show what they can do. I love all my book children and want them all of course to shine but honestly, my health has not recovered to what it was prior to my stroke and I fall ill a lot easier than ever before. Grant it, I am getting older whch does play a part, too.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say, is I really want to get more stories out there (out of my head!) and into the world and the only way I can do that is by working harder. As someone once told me “own my stroke and stop making excuses with itโ€!

Next year Iโ€™ll also be producing, editing, writing and publishing my first ever literary magazine, With Malice! Thatโ€™s exciting and hopefully it brings in more engagement with my work. Itโ€™s definitely tough to be motivated to write when youโ€™ve got over a dozen books but havenโ€™t sold more than a dozen copies in one year!! More than anything itโ€™s getting readerโ€™s attentions โ€” all my work has gotten 4.5 to 5 star reviews so itโ€™s not the content. Creating ads and paying for them is not investing, itโ€™s more like gambling with money you donโ€™t have and paying someoneโ€™s paying attention! With this magazine Iโ€™ll be bringing over a dozen other writers to my readers attention and theyโ€™ll be bringing my work to their readerโ€™s attention! Win win!! Be on the lookout for those issues starting this Marchโ€”one per quarter.

Have any of you bought something of mine? What attracted you to it? If you havenโ€™t (no judgment or bad feelings), what has turned you off from doing so? Iโ€™m looking for some honest insight and maybe a direction to get better results. Any comments or feedback are highly welcome and appreciated.

With that all said, my goal or what Iโ€™m thinking of is Iโ€™m going to try and challenge myself and put it out there that everyday in January Iโ€™m going to write at least 300 words every day. Now I know 300 doesnโ€™t sound too impressive but when you figure how much goes on all the time in your daily lifeโ€ฆSo Iโ€™m making a stand to at least getting it done every day no matter whatโ€ฆOyyy putting the words and goal to print for all to see and judge โ€” now thatโ€™s scary!

Of course there will be days when I will go for more and may write a 1000 but there will be days too that I make just my minimum. Iโ€™m hoping IF this challenge comes through I can do it for February! Who knows?!

I will also try to edit and publish some of that work for you guys too as โ€œfresh content blogsโ€.

31 days x 300 words = 9,300 total. 12 months x 9300 = 111, 600!! (Thatโ€™s maybe two books worth!!)

As of this post Iโ€™ll have done 24 posts this year. Not too shabbyโ€”last couple years I was down to like 10 blogs and thatโ€™s very dismal to me. The Fresh Content blogs have seemed to be a hit so also keep a lookout for more coming up this next year!!

Thanks to everyone who supports this blog and my work โ€” maybe together we can truly create something special!!
