The first draft is finished. My co-author, Charles R. Rutledge, is now being kind enough to go over the manuscript for the first round of edits. The entire story is set in the fictitious town of Wellman, Georgia and if you enjoyed the Halloween story I placed ay my site, you've already got a hint or two about what the book is about. But only a hint or two.

So the cover art is being done right in the very near future. As soon as I have it (and I have permission, of course) you'll have it. In the meantime, the rough copy of the back cover text goes something like this: When private investigator Wade Griffin moved away from his home town of Wellman Georgia he didn't think he would be back. Too many memories and too many bridges burned. But when an old friend is found brutally murdered and mutilated, nothing can keep Griffin from going home. Teamed with another childhood friend, Sheriff Carl Price, Griffin begins an investigation that will lead down darker paths than he could ever have imagined. Soon Griffin and Price find that there are secrets both dark and ancient lurking in the back woods of Crawford's Hollow. As Halloween approaches, something evil is growing near the roots of the Georgia mountains, and the keys to the mystery seem to be a woman of almost indescribable beauty and a dead man who won't stay dead. As the body count mounts and the horrors pile up, Griffin and Price come to realize that the menace they face extends far beyond the boundaries of Wellman and that their opponents seem to hold all the cards. But the two law men have a few secrets of their own, and one way or another there will be hell to pay. Blind Shadows is a fast moving synthesis of high octane crime fiction and horror. Lovecraft and Arthur Machen meet Spillane and Elmore Leonard. A Southern Gothic full of guns and monsters and hard boiled action. |

So I sent out review copies of the manuscript to a few writers and reviewers because, you know, you're supposed to do that. And Lee Thomas was good enough to send me this in response: BLIND SHADOWS "James A. Moore and Charles R. Rutledge mix their ample talents to create a fast-moving and shocking supernatural tale of black magic, human sacrifice, and multi-dimensional monsters. To complement the gore, and the gore is plentiful, there is a wisecracking charm here in the form of Carl and Griffin, our bold heroes, making Blind Shadows a genuine treat to read. The characters are sharp. The dialogue is crackling. In short, Blind Shadows has wit, balls, and muscle car pacing, like a good-ol’-boy buddy flick set against a landscape of Lovecraftian nightmares. You need to read this." Lee Thomas, Bram Stoker Award and Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The German, Torn, and The Dust of Wonderland. |
