Hey, friends! My four-year-old fell asleep while I was reading to her (The Lorax, which I was worried would freak her out—apparently not!), and I’m blogging from her room since it’s the quietest place in the house.

On Thursday night’s kick-bootie edition of THE HORROR SHOW, Brian Keene and Dave Thomas were kind enough to discuss my eleven-book deal with Thunderstorm. I’ll let them speak for themselves (the Thunderstorm part begins around the nineteen-minute mark), but you should also know that they sat down with the wonderful Jeff Strand in the same show, which is all the more reason to head over there and take a listen. I mean, after you read the rest of this blog post, of course.

A big thank you to Brian and Dave for their positive words and support!

Secondly, Mark Justice over at the excellent POD OF HORROR podcast just released a teaser for his next episode. In this article you’ll hear Mark’s thoughts about my upcoming release WOLF LAND. In addition to calling the novel “a rich and rewarding reading experience,” he says this:

“This is Janz’s second outstanding novel of 2015 (the other being THE NIGHTMARE GIRL). Maybe I have baseball playoff fever, but I find myself comparing Janz to a power hitter, circling the bases after another deep ball.”

Being a baseball guy too, I appreciated that a great deal.

Lastly, the Horror Maiden was kind enough to review my werewolf novel. Here’s a glimpse of what she had to say…

“Some of the scenes in this novel were incredibly horrific and not for the faint of heart, but if you love your horror gritty and terrifying like I do you won’t be able to put it down. Jonathan Janz has created a realistic world and peopled it with characters that could be people you know then introduces a whole new werewolf legend to rip them to shreds. I highly recommend this relentlessly fast paced story. A hair raising 5 star read.”

Gotta run, friends. If you haven’t yet, you can pre-order WOLF LAND now.
