The Art of Sinking Down: From Whiteboard to Professional

sinking-down-whiteboardWhat a fun post! Sheila Deeth asked for a post on the artwork of Sinking Down, and I decided to compare and contrast my initial whiteboard concept sketches with Bonnie Wasson’s finished professional artwork. Go take a look!

“It Came to Me in a Dream!” The Birth of Sinking Down

It’s true, there was only ever going to be Four ’til Late, and then I had a dream one summer night. That dream was the seed for Sinking Down, which led to Me and the Devil and Blue Spirit and its sequels.

Character Interview: Larry Fisher @ Jess Resides Here

This was the most difficult of the guest blogs on this tour. I was asked by Jess of Jess Resides Here to interview one of my characters, and since I’d already interviewed Gonzo and Lizzie, I decided to give myself a challenge. I sat down in a holding cell with the villain of the piece, Larry Fisher. And he did not appreciate the company:

Lizzie – “I Was in Love With a Ghoul!”

Lizzie - Whiteboard Wednesday

Lizzie – From my Whiteboard Wednesday drawings.

Today on the Sinking Down blog tour, I am a guest on Crymsyn Hart’s blog, “Vampires, Witches, and me, oh my!”. Crymsyn asked me to do a character post, that is, I have one of my characters do the blogging for me. My Lizzie was good enough to step up and save me the trouble of writing something. And of course, she went with the outrageous topic of “I Was In Love With a Ghoul!” because she’s Lizzie. And that’s why she’s everyone’s favorite character in the Road Ghosts books.

I love her too, but there’s something wrong with that girl.

Tour Post – Sinking Down

What a great review of my book, Sinking Down! Thank you, Lost Inside the Covers / @ocdreader !

ocdreader's avatarLost Inside The Covers

sinking down Sinking Down (Road Ghost Trilogy, Bk 2)

by Eric Garrison

Tour review book provided free, review is my own.

This could be a stand-alone but it was pretty fun to already know the characters that pop up into this sometimes funny, though in a way scary book by Eric Garrison.  The book itself isn’t frightening except in concept, and the fact that these people felt real, so the ideas Garrison slings out there make you think.

While hunting the chupacabra Brett and Liz find something altogether different – and take it home with them.  And while at times you might wonder a little bit about their actions, ultimately you can relate.

So old friends, old flames, wanna-be vampires, paranormal societies and non-believers are running through this book.  A lot of goofiness, a couple of beer swilling sessions with guys being guys, a little trickery and deception and another road trip…
