FLICKER: TEEN-WARRIOR SAGA is officially launched!

I’ve decided — what with the present state of the economy (down the toilet bowl), and money hard to come by — to treat readers (anyway, I hope it’ll be a treat) to a free pre-print publication serialization of my new mainstream teen-angst novel of CANDLE-READERS, demons, werewolves, vampires, witches, warlocks, chimera, dragons, and the rest-of-the-goes-bump-in-the-night creepy crawlies … FLICKER: TEEN-WARRIOR SAGA … on my MySpace.com Blog at: http://www.myspace.com/flickerwarriors

Two chapters to be posted each and every week, one on Monday, one on Thursday, until book completion. One chapter already “up” and another going “up” tomorrow.

What’s more, I’m doing all of this in association with renown Candle Artist Jfay who will be casting candles pertinent to the story line and putting them on display for your viewing pleasure. A real treat for anyone, like me, who is genuinely “into” candles and who is always amazed and fascinated at the way this truly artistic wax-handling genius works her masterful craft.

For those of who may well find this a change of pace from my usual more adult-themed novels of recent years, do keep in mind that this is the same William Maltese who wrote some pretty tame mainstream boy-meets-girl romance novels (HEART ON FIRE immediately comes first to mind), and who authored that best-selling children’s book DOG ON THE SURFBOARD AND THE REST OF THE ADVENTURE (writing as Billy Lambert); neither book leaving anyone blushing.

So, if you think you’d be in the least bit be interested … or if you have or know teenagers who can read and might enjoy doing so on the cheap (aka free of charge) … come on over / send them over. The more the merrier!
