DISCLAIMER: I will not read unsolicited manuscripts. Please do not send messages requesting that I look at your manuscript. I will no longer respond to these. I'm sorry, it is nothing personal, but I simply do not have the time. I will, however, drink unsolicited booze.
My name is Bryan Smith. I write mass market horror novels for Leisure Books. Bibliography to date:House Of Blood (Leisure Books, 2004)Deathbringer (Leisure Books, 2006)The Freakshow (Leisure Books, 2007)Queen Of Blood (Leisure Books, 2008)Soultaker (coming from Leisure in Feb. 2009)Depraved (coming from Leisure, pub date TBA) Prior to the books listed above, Undaunted Press published my chapbooks Grimm Awakening and Under The Skin, both now long out of print. I live in Tennessee with my lovely wife Rachael. We have pets galore. I like loud rock and roll music and dark beer. My ultimate goal is total world domination. Failing that, another beer will suffice. Thunderstorm Books will release a new limited edition hardcover version of House of Blood in 2008.
