2018 marked the expansion of my own publishing company, ALIEN AGENDA PUBLISHING. I’ve used the name to self-publish pieces from time to time between traditionally published works, but this year I reached out to some fellow writers to see if they’d be interested in having some of their works under my umbrella.
It is definitely a hard thing to do. Gathering covers, reviews, making sure the product looks good, and making sure everyone involved is happy. It’s time consuming,but it is a true labor of love. I haven’t figured out how much I’ll have time for in 2019, but it looks good that we will get the sequel to THE BEAST OF BRENTON WOODS from Jackson R. Thomas (RISE), plus my sequel to my own werewolf novel, BLOOD AND RAIN.
The biggest project will be SURVIVE WITH ME, our first official anthology. Aiming for July on that one. It should include a number of great stories from my old Samhain Publishing cohorts, with each tale built around the survival theme. This one will be for charity. Stay tuned for much more in the months to come.
Other than that, I have a couple projects that I’m looking at for possible release. I just want to make sure I can put the right amount of effort into each of them. Writing and promoting my own works certainly made things a little more difficult, but it was a learning experience and one I hope will lead to more success going forward.
Thank you so very much to my team: Erin Sweet Al-Mehairi, Jason Lynch, Michael Bray, and Lori Michelle for their contributions behind the scenes.
Also, thanks to David Bernstein, Mick Ridgewell, and Jackson R. Thomas for trusting me with their stories.
Extra special thanks to Michelle Garza, Melissa Lason, and Somer Canon for contributing to our freebie 2018 sampler (which you can get for free from Barnes and Noble or Smashwords).

Thanks so much, Armand!
AAP,
Keep up the great work!
This is fantastic. I’ve read all but two of these books/stories, and I’ll be reading those as well. They’ve been a treat. I’m excited for the sequels to Blood and Rain and The Beast of Brenton Woods.
The Sampler was really cool. I love that idea.
I can’t wait to see what the future holds for AAP!!
Thanks, MJ. You keep reading ’em, we’ll keep writing ’em. We couldn’t ask for a better supporter. Thanks so much for all the time you put into out work.
You are very welcome!
Sounds like a great plan to me! I love doing this.
