FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
Dragon’s Ark, Contemporary Dracula Novel by San Francisco Bay
Area Author Thomas Burchfield, Scores Hat Trick at 2012 Halloween Book Festival
Awards
Oakland, CA—October 18, 2012
(Ambler House Publishing): Dragon’s Ark,
a horror novel by longtime Bay Area author Thomas Burchfield, has scored a hat
trick this year, thanks to a citation as runner-up for Best Horror Novel in the
2012 Halloween Book Festival.
This is the third literary award
Dragon’s Ark has won this year,
following recognition for Best Horror Novel from the National
Indie Excellence Book Award and the Bronze Award (Third Place) in Horror from
the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY).
Dragon’s
Ark tells the
hair-raising story of Dracula’s bloodthirsty struggle to stave off the modern
world and live free and powerful in the California Sierra kingdom where he has
secretly ruled for more than a century.
Award-winning author David
Corbett (Do They Know I’m Running? and the
recently re-released The
Devil’s Redhead
and Done
for a Dime)
praises Dragon's Ark as “not a book to read just before nodding off.
Unless you're on very good terms with your nightmares.”
Author John-Ivan
Palmer (Motels of Burning Madness) concurs
enthusiastically, describing Burchfield as “a world-class master of suspense.
Dracula not only lives in our world, he is our world. With a
language clear and beautiful as a sunset, Burchfield leads you down the path of
darkness.”
Author Burchfield, who lives in Oakland,
California, says, “It’s hard to move beyond clichés of gratitude, but
nevertheless I have to say it’s a very satisfying feeling to have my work
appreciated and recognized by the Halloween Book festival. This time, I wish to
thanks the judges and other folks at the Halloween Book festival for this
recognition. And as always, thanks to my wonderful wife Elizabeth and everyone
who lent a hand to Dragon’s Ark,
including all the beta readers, my interior designer Joel Friedlander, and
cover designer Cathi Stevenson.”
