About Andy Lockwood
One dreary October a few years ago, I came across a mangled legal pad in a box of other things I owned. It was a hand written manuscript, unfinished, from a number of years earlier. I had attempted National Novel Writing Month and failed spectacularly. But as I sat there, reading the old story, something occurred to me: it wasn't all that bad.
Now, this isn't me telling you that I was a born writer, but I definitely had something there. It was a decent idea that had relatable characters - realistic characters, I thought. But it certainly needed work. I considered, it being October, to prep it and myself for November.
Far be it from me to accept such a simple challenge, I decided to do something completely fresh, and unplotted for NaNoWriMo... so I did.
Empty Hallways came out that following year, my first successful NaNoWriMo. And I have continued the tradition since, successfully completing a number of manuscripts via NaNoWriMo and launching them as quickly as I, my editor, and my cover artist can get our ducks in a row.
So far, I have participated in 3 anthologies; published two novels: Empty Hallways - a horror novel about a man whose grief calls forth a unsettled spirit from the past, and House of Thirteen - the first installment in a series about immortals who are slowly discovering they are not the only anomaly hiding in the mortal world;and most recently, I have launched a 12-part serial: At Calendar's End, which explores the beings that keep time moving forward, and the horror that awaits them when an equally ancient being decides to hunt them down one by one.
On the docket, I have plans for another House of Thirteen installment, my own anthology of short stories, a psychological thriller, and a horror novel based on that old, earlier-mentioned manuscript: Threshold.
At some point, I would also like to write a children's book.

Blog postThreshold hits next week, and to be honest, I didn’t expect this release to be as big of a deal as it is. Not “big deal” like it’s going to be massive or successful (though I hope) but it’s a big deal to me and my time as a writer, and the closer we get, the more I realize that impact.

Blog postAs promised, something more lengthy than my quick announcement this week.
First, in case you missed the post: Threshold will be out this year.
Hang on, let me say that again:
Threshold will be out this year. After a number of struggles, I’ve succeeded in this endeavor. That success bleeds further than simply releasing a book. This has been an exercise in life and existence more than it ever was about the writing, and I was wholly foolish to think it was anything so sma2 years ago Read more -
Blog postOne week – actually less than – until Motor City Nightmares.
This is the first time I will be attending this show, so I am very excited and completely unprepared for the event. Ok, not completely. I will be preparing for this show in the same fashion I do other shows. I should be fine.
What I am not certain how to deal with is the fact that Clive Barker will be there.

Blog postWe are officially one week from my first event of the year (Blood Bash!). I’m excited because this gets the ball rolling on something different. This year, I am trying a few new things: new events, new tricks, and new formulas. Every year is a new experiment in trying to get myself out there, but this year is going to be more focused. We’ll see if it works.
As always, keep an eye on the Events page; I’ll update it as new events are confirmed.

Blog post…I want to be a Book Slapper.
Source: gargoylesstandingonsuperheroes On one side, it’s because as a member of the audience, I want to see the movie I deserve to see. On another, authors should not be asked to endorse a film they are not proud of. On a third, we could heal the rift between book lovers and movie lovers. You know how to stop every “the book is better than the movie” argument? You make the movie a reasonable adaptation based on the source material.

Blog postWe lost another legend this week. By the time I get this out, Stan Lee will already be looking down on us all from the Rainbow Bridge, standing proud and admiring the world he has left in his wake.
And even though I am sad that he is gone (because really, for a minute there, I thought he might be immortal), I can’t be that sad. You see, Stan planned ahead; he left us in good hands. His legacy is intact. He won’t ever be completely gone.

Blog postIt really is close enough to just call this year done, isn’t it?
This year isn’t quite done, and I’ve still got a lot of work ahead of me, but I thought I would take a moment and be a little better at updating than I have been…
…since my last post was my wedding day. In February. Oops.
Just a reminder that you can also follow my shenanigans on the Facebook page.

Blog post…to quote the immortal words of Douglas Adams: Don’t panic. It’s nothing alarming, but it is an attention-getter, isn’t it?
Then again, maybe it is alarming – if your understanding of the world is based on certain elements of the universe behaving just-so. In that case, you probably shouldn’t have based your status quo on me. That was bad form. But I digress…

Blog postThis past weekend, I participated in an event that was a number of firsts, even as I was starting to consider myself a “regular” as this event game…
This was my first convention as an author. I’ve been to other events where I wasn’t sure how books would be received, but never an actual convention. Fun fact: this won’t be my last convention this year, either. This was my first horror convention ever. Shocking as it might sound, I’ve never actually made it to a horror convention b4 years ago Read more -
Blog postI hope you give all the gifts you wanted to and receive all the gifts you deserve.
I hope you are warm, and well, and loved.
I hope you keep goodwill in your mind, and brotherly love in your heart.
And most of all, I hope you spend Christmas (or your chosen holiday) with those who make you happy and make you feel loved.
Christmas is a special time of year for me. It’s when I feel the gravity of the end of the year. It’s when the people seem to stress more5 years ago Read more
Titles By Andy Lockwood
Cate assumes the mirror has a storied history, but it doesn't seem to have any history at all. Previous owners have all died or disappeared, leaving Cate to piece together the origin of this mysterious heirloom. At first, this didn't seem like a problem, but Cate's ordinary life is twisting in unusual ways since taking ownership of the artifact. Plagued by nightmares and haunted by her own reflection, she can hardly close her eyes, afraid of what new glimmer she might find looking back at her. Perhaps it is exhaustion. Perhaps it is something else entirely.
Ren never put stock in sappy clichés... at least, not until the day she died.
She's alive - again - but in hiding, adopted by the strangest of foster families: The Delaneys. Now, part of a sisterhood drawn together by the same unknown force that spared her life, she will begin a journey she could never have imagined: leaving her everyday world for one much more bizarre. It will be harder than she imagines, but alongside her newfound sisters, Ren will soon discover that everything does happen for a reason, but sometimes, those reasons are better left unknown.
With the arrival of a new patient, the hospital begins to experience unexplained phenomena. Rumors whisper through the halls of a girl who leaves no footprints and casts no shadows. A girl who, though seemingly tied to the fire from long ago, is cold to the touch.
Could this new patient be responsible for the mysterious happenings? Can science be trusted to find the puzzling answers? Can answers be found before the screams of pain and horror truly begin?
As the holidays set in and another year comes to a close, the Intercalary – beings charged with keeping the cycle of time moving forward – prepare for another year. For them, it’s nothing new. One more year in a timeless cycle, except things are already shaping up to be different for them this time around...
A shadow haunts the Intercalary. A darkness that threatens to engulf them, revisiting the sins of time long forgotten. With their own lives in danger, humanity’s own existence now also hangs in the balance...
This omnibus collects all twelve serialized installments of At Calendar’s End into a single volume.
Between Nova and Ember, they have the wits and the strength to stand against Tris, but will that be enough to defeat her?
This is the final installment in a 12-part serial thriller. Find the first installment here: Part One: http://amzn.com/B019G8ZZCO
