He has also published another short story featuring a character you will see in the future called Underneath.  It’s an Urban-type  Fantasy thing about Heaven & Hell, and soon after The Seven Signs is completed, it may be a series in its own right.  These stories  don’t have their own page yet, but they will.  For now, follow the links below to check them both out, all for FREE.   So, follow the upcoming Blog Tour, win stuff, check out some free stories, and stay tuned for book two of The Seven Signs this Fall, The Awakening Storm.  D.W. is working tirelessly to keep you all reading and  happy, and he hopes you continue to enjoy his efforts.   Blog tour
