Well Ladies and Gentlemen, MAYHEM has proven to be not only popular, but has lit the proverbial fire under my behind to complete Book Three. Today, a milestone has been reached – Murder: Book Three of the Dark Zone Trilogy, now has an ISBN number. Currently, the release date is set for late May, 2014.
Soon I will be making a special promotion for MADNESS and MAYHEM for the holidays. Sale prices, and special items such as bookmarks, trading cards and more, will be offered. Email me for early details (or be patient and wait for annoucements here!)
As always, I am humbled by your response to my work, and your seemingly unending kindness. Thank you all so much for reading!
About Derek
Derek Dykes was born on his Grandmothers' birthday in January 1973. The son of a local businessman and an artist, Derek and his brother Charles both grew up in an environment where creativity was encouraged. While earning healthy grades and participating in activities was important to Derek, they always took second place to what really mattered to him - his friends and family.
Derek found himself thrust into adulthood when his father died. Taking care of his responsibilities meant that his college education was put on hold. While he was unable to afford classes, he privately continued his studies in art, literature, archeology, Celtic history, and a cornucopia of other subjects that interested him.
Derek moved home to Mobile, Alabama in early 2008 after living away for almost a decade. His journey home was a catalyst for the foundation of his first novel, MADNESS. In addition to writing, Derek enjoys photography, parenting and using any medium available to bring the creations of his mind to life. More of Derek's work can be found by visiting www.derekdykes.com
