‘The Single Deed of Emeril Battles’ is here!
After taking WAY longer than it had any right to take, the sequel to The Horrible Plan of Horace Pickle is finally available on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle. From the back of the book: Emeril Battles wants to rule the world, but first he must save it – from a hero. Six months
Reinvigorating Horace Pickle
Today I sold the last copy of the 1st edition of The Horrible Plan of Horace Pickle. The publishing contract for the book with Fantastic Journeys Publishing has come to its conclusion, and I’ve decided to not renew it. What does this mean for the book?
