Just Finished Book Two

I just finished the manuscript of the second book in my Hell Holes trilogy, Hell Holes: Demons on the Dalton. The official publication date is 1 May 2016. Now I am very interested in finding 15-20 beta readers who will give me constructive criticism before I finalize the book. Volunteers will receive a free ebook copy of the first book, an autographed paperback copy of the second book, an ebook copy of the second book, and acknowledgement in the book's front matter. If you are interested, please contact me.Donald Firesmith

I'm pleased to announce the cover design for my second book in the Hell Hole series, Hell Holes: Demons on the Dalton. Check out the new cover on my Facebook Author Page. Of course, check out the first book in the series Hell Holes: What Lurks Below.

The artist is Michael Fisher , who was very good to work with and quite reasonably priced. Check out Michael Fisher’s Facebook Page and also his
author page on his publisher's website.
If you need a cover design, I recommend his work.

Amazon Reviews

My first pure fiction book, Hell Holes: What Lurks Below, is finally starting to get some reviews on Amazon. So far, it's doing better than I hoped, earning an average of 4.8 out of five stars on 4 reviews. I can hardly wait until book 2 (Hell Holes: Demons on the Dalton) is done; only two more chapters to go. I've also blocked out the plot for book 3 (Hell Holes: To Hell and Back).

Progress on Hell Holes: Volume 2 - Demons on the Dalton

I just finished the first draft of chapter 5 (I Bring You Fire) of my second novel (Demons on the Dalton) in my Hell Holes series of action-adventure and horror (and science fiction and fantasy) books. This chapter should definitely have the most exciting scenes I've written so far, assuming that I have done this part of the plot justice. Only two more chapters and I will be able to start book three: Hell Holes - To Hell and Back. Book one is currently available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I hope to have book two available sometime in early spring. Stay tuned.

P.S. I'm looking for reviewers of this second book. Anyone interested in providing comments and recommendations in exchange for an autographed copy of the book once it's done (as well as a shout out in the acknowledgements page?
