The fourth book of the River series, currently untitled, is underway. In it, Steven and Roy team with a number of “gifteds” (including Eliza – everyone loves Eliza) to investigate the dormant evil that resides in an estate deep in the forests of western Washington. The surprises start off pretty quickly, so I’m not going to say any more. (I hate spoilers.)

Targeting a release in January or February! Please sign up on my mailing list, or follow me on Twitter, and I’ll make sure you get an email or tweet when it’s released.

Thanks again to all those who’ve written to me with your enthusiasm for Roy and Steven.

The Bank of the River promotion on Amazon has ended, and to my shock and surprise it was downloaded over 20,800 times! At one point it made the Kindle Top 10, and was #2 on the horror list for most of the five days. Wow! Thank you! I hope you all enjoy the book! It appears many have, because sales of the 2nd book in the series, A Haunting in Oregon, have been fantastic! Even the new book, Ghosts of Our Fathers, has been selling well. I can’t tell you how appreciative I am!

Reviews have been coming in, too. Thanks for the feedback – here’s a few of them:

“If you’re a fan of mystery/thrillers with a few “ha ha ha” moments thrown in, then read this. It’s a great book. Lots of gripping the edge of your seat moments. Steven and Roy are engaging and comical characters. Michael Richan is a terrific story teller. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.”

“Really fun scary thriller. Perfect to read on a crisp October evening, with Halloween frights hovering in the background. I really enjoyed this hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck raising yarn.”

“I really enjoyed the father son coupling in this book. A ghost story with a twist .Will read the next book by this author.”

Thanks everyone! I hope you all enjoy A Haunting in Oregon and Ghosts of Our Fathers as well! ~ Mike

Available tomorrow, October 1, on Amazon – the next book in The River series!

Steven is scared – he’s awakened in the middle of the night by a mysterious figure that threatens to kill him. Is it a ghost, or some other evil creature? Steven’s determined to figure out what it is and how to stop it. He would normally turn to his father, Roy, who is educating him on how to use “the gift” to deal with ghosts and other threats, but Roy isn’t available. Steven turns instead to his “gifted” friends Eliza and Daniel. Daniel’s an expert on time, and they all soon discover the true nature of the threat: it comes from the past and it’s worse than any of them realized. Strange ghosts and creatures stand between them and the solution. Time is running out as Steven, Roy, Daniel and Eliza dig into the past to learn of half-finished business that is coming back to haunt them all.

Ghosts of Our Fathers is a fast-paced horror-thriller where Steven and Roy confront a history that is determined to take revenge upon them all.

Ghosts of Our Fathers is the third book in The River series.

 

Ghosts of Our Fathers will be available for Kindle at Amazon tomorrow, October 1.

 

The third book in The River series has a name: Ghosts of Our Fathers. Steven and Roy return. Hoping for a mid-October release.

Steven and Roy return in the third book of The River series. Working on it now. Going slower than the other two, but I think it will be a worthy sequel!
