With school being out and the days getting longer and warmer, it’s time for all things summer. Of course, that also means vacations. And that means that some folks in the editorial pipeline here have taken some time off.
Even with some pauses in day-to-day function, there’s still things happening here. And you can always build your summer reading list from my collection of books available in Kindle, on paperback, and as audiobooks via Audible.
Here are some reminders of what is happening at the homestead:
ECHOES IN THE JEKYLL HOUSE is being proofread. We are also developing the cover art and the audiobook to be released in tandem.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BLOCKHEADZ is being developed. There are some brilliant new illustrations from Benjamin Géza that will be featured exclusively in the publication. It will be available later this summer.
I like to say that my technothriller THEY HISS! is being revised, but let’s be honest… there’s a lot of re-writing and additional writing being done on this one. Still, when it is completed later this year, it will be a fun throwback to the technothrillers of the 1990s.
I am also building the first blocks for a new novel, another throwback. Think of what it would have been like to have had Gerard Butler star in a OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN type of action film, only made in the 90s by Jerry Bruckheimer. More on this to come soon!
Finally, the audiobook for GOBBLE: A THANKSGIVING TALE OF THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE is now available on Audible. Or, if you have an Amazon Music Unlimited, you can ask your device, “Alexa, play GOBBLE by Kevin Carr,” to choose this as one of your free audiobooks for the month.
Enjoy the warmer weather!

A Penguin in the Studio by Kevin Carr
“So you’ve got an interesting hobby,” the DJ said to his Guest.
“Definitely,” the Guest replied with a devilish grin. “You think I’m going to say I collect gravestones. At least that’s what I told your producer.”
“You don’t?”
“Oh, from a certain point of view, sure. The truth is, I’m a violent killer.”
The DJ’s face went white.
“Don’t worry,” the Guest smiled. “I’ve trapped all of you inside… with me.”
What happened next was absolute carnage, a non-stop cavalcade of blood and gore.
It was horrifying.
It made national news.
But it was terrible radio.
THE END
