Two books up for preorder! Stephen Kozeniewski, Wile E Young, and Kit Power

Two more books are up for preorder, they are scheduled to start shipping at the end of the month.

The Perfectly Fine House
by Stephen Kozeniewski and Wile E Young

In an alternate reality where ghosts are as commonplace as the weather, the most terrifying thing imaginable is a house not being haunted.

Donna Fitzpatrick runs a surrogacy agency, where ghosts can briefly possess volunteers in order to enjoy carnal pleasures. She’s also working herself into an early grave. But that’s no big deal because death is no worse than puberty. That’s particularly evident in Donna’s twin, Kyle, a self-absorbed roustabout who spends most of his time high on sage. Kyle’s been in arrested development since his motorcycle accident fifteen years ago.

When Donna has a panic attack, Kyle insists she take a vacation at an abandoned mansion. There’s just one small problem: there isn’t a single ghost in Jackson Manor. And while an unhaunted house seems no worse than an oddity at first, soon ghosts go missing, natural disasters consume entire cities, and every afterlife on earth is threatened by the terrible secret behind . . .

THE PERFECTLY FINE HOUSE.

Godbomb!
by Kit Power

Somebody wants answers.

It’s 1995 in North Devon, England. There’s a born-again revival meeting in a public building; the usual mix of the faithful, the curious, and the desperate. And one other – an atheist suicide bomber. He’s angry. He wants answers. And if God doesn’t come and talk to him personally, he’s going to kill everyone in the building….

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!

First, I would like to thank everyone out there who supported Thunderstorm Books in 2025.  It turned out to be a pretty good year for me.  And that is all because of you.  Over the last couple of months, I have had a lot of titles come out.  But I didn’t quite get all of them out.  So some of those 2025 titles are going to carry over into January.  I just got back to the keyboard from a two week self induced vacation and am ready to get back into the saddle.

These three books should be shipping this week!

To Cut A Man
by Justin Holley

When Annette, the editor of a survivalist magazine, embarks on a weekend getaway up Minnesota’s north shore with her boyfriend Sebastion, events spiral out of control when a gang of rowdy bikers starts to show up at their every stop and pay her more attention than she feels comfortable with.

The always-prepared Annette does not believe in coincidences.

To further complicate the situation, Annette is also dismayed when Sebastion questions her worries and suggests they are nothing but a result of cutting her PTSD meds. As if in direct rebuttal to his position, the bikers rumble into the same remote B&B as the couple, the gang’s aggressive leader inviting Annette and Sebastion to join them outside at the bonfire for drinks and weed. Feeling cornered, and long ago vowing to never allow an unwanted touch again, Annette’s actions continue to escalate, resulting in an explosion of bloody violence and revenge inspired by her survivalist skills.

When the true evil of the situation reveals itself, only Annette’s rage and cunning, no matter her guilt or innocence, can possibly save them.

Extant 
by Michael McBride

ONE OF HISTORY’S GREATEST MYSTERIES.

In 524 BCE, Cambyses II, King of Persia, dispatched his forces to the Siwa Oasis to destroy the Oracle of Amun, whose priests refused to legitimize his claim to Egypt. According to historical records, 50,000 soldiers marched into the desert from Luxor and vanished into a sandstorm.

NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.

Hoping to discover the lost army’s fate, a team of scientists utilizes satellite archeology to locate ancient ruins hidden beneath the dunes. Subsequent excavation reveals a temple devoted to Sekhmet, warrior goddess of destruction. Hidden within it are chambers filled with bones.

THEY NEVER STOOD A CHANCE.

The scientists quickly realize that they’re not alone. Something is hunting them inside the buried tomb, a creature that has evolved to live in complete darkness, an extant species that will stop at nothing to make sure that no one ever learns of its existence, because in the end…

NATURE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY.

Kill Your Darling 
by Clay McLeod Chapman

The body of Glenn Partridge’s 15-year-old son was discovered in a vacant lot nearly forty years ago. The police are still no closer to finding the murderer decades later.

Glenn refuses to let the memory of his son fade—or let anyone else within this small working class community forget. His long-suffering wife signs him up for an amateur fiction writing workshop at the local library, just to get him out of the house and out of his own head.

Rule number one: Write what you know—so Glenn decides to share his son’s story. The class offers him a chance to make sense of a senseless crime and find the fictional closure life never provided. But as Glenn’s story takes on a life of its own, someone from the past is compelled to come out of hiding before he reaches… The End.

And finally, the latest hardcover installment of Ronald Kelly’s Dead Eye Saga.  This is book 4 (of a five book series).

Book IV of the Saga of Dead Eye: Golems, Ghouls, and Grisly Gargantuans
by Ronald Kelly

BENEATH THE UTAH WILDERNESS…

Following the bloody showdown in Hellbound, the zombie gunfighter Dead-Eye
and the Louisiana mojo man Job continue their pursuit of the renegade vampire
Jules Holland, the Unholy Three, and the dark enchantress Evangeline. They soon
find themselves in the middle of a Utah desert, drawn into a conflict between a
wealthy gold baron and a mysterious entity with a supernatural hunger for
vengeance and violence. Soon, they find themselves descending into the dark
depths of the Earth to confront the immortal brute and the master who controls it!

AND INTO THE MOUNTAINOUS UNKNOWN!

Later, their travels take them northward into Colorado territory, where they
encounter graveyard-raiding ghouls who have abandoned feasting upon the dead
for the warm, vibrant sustenance of living flesh. As they enter the high country of
the Rocky Mountains, more danger presents itself in the form of wildlife
transformed into mutated behemoths. Accompanied by legendary mountain man
Gabriel Bass and the wolf hunter Timber Gray, they ascend the peak of Flat Top
Mountain to battle primitive giants… colossal beings that would make the biblical
Goliath look like a snot-nosed child. As the confrontation grows near, Dead-Eye
and Job wonder if death awaits them there and if their quest to deliver justice and
retribution to Holland and his gang will abruptly come to an unsatisfactory end!
