Tell us about your book.

My book began as an idea to write short stories set in a fictional University where students’ science experiments and art projects tinkered with supernatural elements, leading to misadventures, action and horror. Eventually it came together as a cohesive series. Each story is related and the finale brings all the protagonists together for a climactic conclusion, which paves the way for the sequels I am […]

As a day job I was a forensic psychiatrist, and I also have an interest in Islamic art, particularly carpets. With my brother (who is still in the business) I opened a rug store. I wrote several books on oriental rugs, most recently with my son, who is an archaeologist.

I grew up in Southern California and it is no surprise that I have a fondness for LA-based Private Eyes. In my books I like to play with the image of a “hard boiled” character.  Some aspects of my PI are hard boiled, but other aspects of my character are […]

Tell us about yourself.

I began to observe that some of the natural interactions between family and friends are gradually eroding, if not already gone for some, and having been reminded of a C.S.Lewis quotation – “A children’s story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children’s story in the slightest,” set out to create a fun and exciting series of children’s short stories, with lots of adventure and splashes of humor, all paced […]

Thomas Drago is the author of the Crow Creek series and teaches drama and English in North Carolina. He has published poems, song lyrics, and short stories, appearing most recently in The Explorer, a local literary magazine.

He’s a member of the Horror Writers Association. Family legends trace his ancestry to Vlad Dracula. Maybe. His favorite number is 29.

His new book Winter is out now.

Why did you choose to self-publish?

I sold the rights to an independent press that went out of business shortly after, so I figured I’d handle everything myself. Horror has a limited audience. I […]

Tell us something about your book. The basics: what’s it about?

I tried to write the complete book for every first-time author. It covers how to organize your copyright page and all other pre-book pages. I address editing, cover design, page layout and tax issues.

I include an overview of the U.S. and Canadian book publishing industries and I offer advice to anyone thinking about print-on-demand publishing.

Most importantly, I offer […]

I have developed a new financial instrument which will be much more valuable than the bonds or the treasury bills government sells on the open market to raise much needed funds to run the country. These are all interest based instruments and can only be used by institutions. The instrument I am proposing is without interest and will be used by everyone to purchase goods and services in the government and private sector resulting in discounts up to 60%. This is why these will be massively bought up front in large amounts in the shortest period of time to run […]
