There was a time when pie was more important. Fat, fruit-stuffed confections lined the booths at state and county fairs, cooled in the windows of kitchens across the world, sprouted blackbirds in nursery rhymes and rose to iconic glory as a symbol of goodness and patriotism. That was then. Pies, as so many other things, have been in a slump for quite a while. This book - American...

Standard laws do not allow for such instances, nor are most officials or authorities trained to handle them. In recognition of these facts, one organization has been created that can. Assembled by a loose...

This book is very different from most of my other work. Written during my first year of participation in Nanowrimo, it was completed in 31 days and sold in less than 60 days from the initial word being typed. It covers experiences my family had during Hurricane Isabel, a lot of experience from my time in the US Navy, and is based on a chance comment by Trish:
“I wonder why a...

The novel Deep Blue finds its origin in the novelette by the same name published in an anthology titled Strange Attraction. In Strange Attraction, all the stories were inspired by the “Kinetic” Art of Lisa Snelling, each author choosing one of the characters on an intricately detailed Ferris wheel sculpture. I was honored to be among authors such as Neil Gaiman and Gene Wolfe in...

When Dark Regions publisher Joe Morey told me he wanted this to be “the definitive David Niall Wilson collection,” I wasn’t sure what to do. How do you choose? I’ve written and published over a hundred and fifty short stories over a couple of decades of writing. I have tried very hard over those years not to stereotype myself as that vampire guy, or that sex-in-horror guy, but...
