On Friday, March 8th, 2019, author J.E. "Buck" Buchanan paid a visit to Murder on the Beach, the premiere mystery bookstore in Delray, Florida. He arrived there with two big boxes of his novel, The Secret Files of Hugo & Victoria, and sold every single copy by the time the night was through. Talk about flying off the shelves!

From all of us at Darkwater Syndicate, we'd like to extend a big thank-you to Murder on the Beach Bookstore and everyone who attended and made this event great!

And just who are Hugo and Victoria? They're the private eye and vampire chick duo that solve the most outlandish of crimes. They're also the main characters of Buck Buchanan's crime noir parody, The Secret Files of Hugo & Victoria. 

The party starts at Murder on the Beach, the premiere mystery bookstore in Delray, Florida. Friday, March 8th, at 7 p.m., author Buchanan will present his book and sign autographs. This is a free event, so come on over for a fun time!

Murder on the Beach is located at: 273 Pineapple Grove Way (NE 2nd Ave), Delray Beach, FL 33444.

​We'll be at the weekend street fair from Friday to Sunday, November 16th through the 18th. The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day. Antonio Simon, Jr. will be in attendance to sign autographs, speak with the media, and ensure a memorable time will be had by all who pass by Darkwater's booth.

Be sure to swing by! We are the best in Miami's independent fiction!

Nicholas Paschall's hitting the road again! This time, he's bringing with him the latest in his Broken Gods series: Travails For Teyuna, released earlier this year. Come out to see him November 10th at Half Price Books, located at 125 Northwest Loop 410, San Antonio TX 78216. A big thank-you to Half Price Books for hosting this event!

Everything changed on August 8, 2013. On that date, we published our first book, The Gullwing Odyssey. That fantasy/comedy paved the way to our future success—it sold extremely well and hit #5 in Amazon's Bestsellers in 2014. It's won several awards and continues to be one of our best-selling titles ever.

Nick Paschall is a busy man. Sure, he's a prolific horror author with several books to his name; and sure, he puts out a new horror short story on his website about once a week (which if you haven't visited him there, you should. He's at: www.nickronomicon.com). But lately he's been on a whirlwind of a book tour all over San Antonio and Texas. Here he is at Half-Price Books with his paranormal horror novel, The Father of Flesh (photo taken March 3, 2018).

Check out The Father of Flesh and its sequel, Travails For Teyuna, coming May 15th!

A big thank-you to Half-Price Books and everyone who came out to see Nick!
