 Shadows and Other TalesShadows and Other Tales was my first collection published in the US. It was conceived by Dark Regions Press as a 'best of' collection of my short fiction, and so they chose the contents page, not me. They ended up with 21 stories from the pages of Pan Horror, F&SF, Weird Tales, Cemetery Dance, and numerous top anthologies. Here's part of the blurb: "It doesn't matter where you go, you'll find one thing waiting for you when you get there...shadows. Come with Tony Richards as he wanders the globe in search of new ones. You see, anything can cast them. A raggedy old circus tent. The dim corridors of an old-age home. The incense-smelling depths of a Chinese temple. And if you dare to step into those shadows, you'll find something even more terrifying ... the unknown." “For the sheer pleasure of reading a story by a master of the art, this is hard to beat” - Peter Tennant, Black Static magazine. “Richards is a master” - RT Book Reviews. “A terrific author. A unique and eloquent voice” - John Pelan. “A hell of a writer, one of today’s masters of dark fiction” - Mario Guslandi, Horror World. “Man, this guy can write. He has the power to introduce you all over again to the pleasures of reading good prose” - Ed Gorman. “An amazing voice” - James A. Moore. “Tony Richards always turns in a first-class story” - Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes. Shadows and Other Tales is fully formatted and with a linked Table of Contents, and costs only $2.99. I have 2 novels from HarperCollins on Kindle and 2 collections from Dark Regions Press. I also have more than a dozen self-published ebooks -- fantasy, SF, vampires, mystery, supernatural, horror, a serial killer thriller, and even Sherlock Holmes -- which are all at the sample price of 99c: http://amzn.to/m4ihmeABOUT THE AUTHOR: Tony Richards is the author of 7 novels from Harpercollins, Tor, Headline and Pan Macmillan and has seen more than one hundred short stories in print, most of them in magazines like Isaac Asimov's SF, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery, F&SF, Weird Tales and Cemetery Dance. He has been nominated for both the HWA Bram Stoker Award and the British Fantasy Award. He now has 16 self-published titles on Amazon Kindle. |

Welcome to KindleBoards, Tony, and congratulations on your book!  Please note that KindleBoards is a Readers and Kindle Fan forum. Authors are always welcome to post anywhere but, as you browse the 'boards, please keep in mind that self-promotion, of any sort, is ONLY allowed here in the Book Bazaar. A brief recap of our rules follows: (Note that this doesn't mean you've done anything wrong; we just want you to have a ready reference. ) -- Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information. You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice). --We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days. Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then. --We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link. Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead. --Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows. This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles! Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post. For information on more ways to promote here on KindleBoards, be sure to check out this thread: Authors: KindleBoards Tips & FAQ. All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum. Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules. Thanks for being part of KindleBoards! Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

The cover for this one, btw, is by the excellent M. Wayne Miller, who has also done the cover for my latest Raine's Landing supernatural thriller, Midnight's Angels. http://www.mwaynemiller.com/ |

Two more of my Dark Regions books will be out on Kindle before too long:
My latest collection of short fiction, Our Lady of the Shadows.
And Midnight’s Angels, the third in my series of supernatural thrillers set in the strange town of Raine’s Landing, Massachusetts, where the real witches of Salem fled.

My latest collection -- Our Lady of the Shadows -- is getting rave reviews. You can find out more about it on my blog (above). I'll let you know as soon as it is out on Kindle.

That terrific writer of suspense, Ed Gorman, has posted glowing reviews of 2 of my short story collections – one of them available on Kindle -- on his blog, as well as publishing an interview with me. Click here and scroll down: http://newimprovedgorman.blogspot.com/ |

I might even ask Ed to be my next guest blogger, if he has the time.
