Some exciting news for Stephen Emond (aka Steve Emond) who did the cover art for "Billionaires, Bullets, Exploding Monkeys," his graphic novel "Emo Boy" is being made into a film to be directed by Kyle Newman and produced by Vanguard Films.

My hometown paper just published an article about the book. The photo isn't so flattering, but the article certainly is. You can check it out here.

Fiction has become fact!
This is basically the idea of my novel!!

My college (the setting for "On/Off") has run
a story on the novel.

Phinneywood has alerted Seattle to the presence of On/Off.

Drew Daniels has posted a
review of the serial thriller. Quite favorable, just mentions the text and background color, a complaint I've heard from a number of people. Will tweak this design for the next serial. In the meantime, updates can always be printed, and an easy on the eyes published version of the serial will be out in the winter/spring. Thanks for the review Drew!

RIT student Elvis Montero has generously posted a mention of
"On/Off" (psst.... available November 11th at a bookstore near you!).

The College Blog Network has added
a link to the serial novel.

Web Fiction Guide has just added

Horror Blog "And Now The Screaming Starts" has mentioned the serial novel in
a news item today, uttering the words Cryptic Bindings in the same breath as "Stephen King" (Pinch me, I'm dreaming!) who has a series of animated serial adaptations debuting. Check out the story here.

"Online Novels has added a link to the serial novel.

A Cryptic Message - "On/Off - A Jekyll and Hyde Story" will be released on November 4th. It's the creepy little story of a college freshman with early onset Parkinson's Disease, who undergoes an experimental procedure to control the symptoms of his illness, with horrific results. If you're interested in receiving further updates regarding the release of "On/Off" or the subsequent publication of "Untitled Thriller," please send an email to crypticbindings@gmail.com with the subject "MAILING LIST." Also, don't forget the title contest for "Untitled Thriller," the lack of a title is becoming a wee bit embarrassing. One more thing, in order to gauge the interest in Kindle editions of Cryptic titles, if you have a Kindle reader, please mention that in your email. Look forward to hearing from everybody!

The Shoreline Times, my hometown newspaper, just ran a short story about Cryptic Bindings which highlights the serial novel and the upcoming release of "On/Off."
