#NewRelease ~ The Sinful Man by Keith Rommel

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Sunbury Press has released Keith Rommel's 3rd installment of the Thanatology seriesThe Sinful Man
About the Book:
Headaches. Hunger. Pain.
Leo needs something . . . his stomach growls, but it can wait. That’s not hunger he must feed. He has to get to his next high, but without money he knows he can’t buy what he needs to sate the voice inside telling him to get more, get more.
Voices. Visions. Addiction.
No luck asking his father. His mother is in no position to help. After failing to steal the money he desperately needs, Leo must appeal to his dealer, the dangerous and infamous Saint Nick—despite the inevitable beating he’ll take for showing up empty-handed. Still, anything to keep the voices and flashbacks at bay . . .
Demons. Addiction. Death.
Leo soon learns that everything has a price—not just money for drugs, but that every choice he makes has a repercussion. Suddenly caught between a world where he can see the sins of his past and a new consciousness that he doesn’t fully understand, Leo finds himself not only chasing the dragon, but being chased by demons of a whole different kind. He must learn the finality of being past hope—all while reliving his missed opportunities for second chances—and truly come to understand that he is responsible for his own undoing before he runs out of time. After a lifetime of bad choices, this Sinful Man discovers the consequences to his actions and the mortal responsibility of exercising free will.

The rest of the Thanatology Series:
Book 1 - The Cursed Man -- soon to be a major motion picture:
 The Cursed Man, by Keith Rommel, tells the story of Alister Kunkle, a patient at Sunnyside Capable Care Mental Institution. Alister has been in seclusion for the last 25 years, having no contact with the staff or the outside world. The reason for this is that anyone who communicates with Alister dies within the day, for he is the Cursed Man and Death takes a professional interest in those unlucky enough to cross his path.
Believing him simply deranged, Dr Anna Lee, an up-and-coming young psychiatrist, has come to cure Alister. She is warned about Alister's past and is shown evidence of previous encounters made by the skeptical or unbelieving, all of whom died, sometimes horribly. Regardless of the stories, Anna will not be dissuaded and is reluctantly allowed access to Alister. All assume her fate is sealed, but when she returns unharmed the next day, we also start to wonder about the stories.
So begins an enthralling narrative told in the past and the present as Anna attempts to learn why Alister believes he is cursed, while at the same time trying to convince him the events were not real and that in fact he is merely ill and so can be cured. Is Alister truly followed by death or is he simply mentally ill? The Cursed Man is an extremely well-written suspense horror story... I enjoyed it immensely; right up until the very end I was never sure of the outcome... Great story-telling in the tradition of Stephen King... -- Booklore

Book 2 - The Lurking Man -- a Sunbury Press bestseller:
What happens after we die? Are we given choices based on how we lived our lives?  It’s an age-old question pondered by just about everyone.
Author Keith Rommel dared to explore the answer by creating his newest novel The Lurking Man, a story of dark suspense that unmercifully reveals the life of a self-deluded, neglectful mother who caused irreparable damage to her family and ultimately struggles with death as much as life.  It’s the second novel in his suspenseful and thrilling Thanatology series that began with the eerie, spine-tingling The Cursed Man.
Imagine Death knowing your deepest, darkest secrets and all of your private pain,” said Rommel about  The The Lurking Man. “Now imagine it wants to use what it knows against you so that you bend to its will.”
In the Lurking Man, main character Cailean stands beneath a spotlight in a blinding snowstorm. She has no idea where she is or how she got there, but she senses something moving around her in the darkness outside the light.
When the ominous presence calling himself Sariel makes himself known, he declares that he is Death Incarnate and that Cailean has died. He has taken her to the Aperture, a place between the living and the dead, where he will force her to face the sins of her past in exchange for twenty-four hours of life to try and right her wrongs. But what she must do in return for this precious time is unthinkable.

The Cursed Man ~ A novel gaining attention from a movie producer!

A while ago, I had author Keith Rommel on my blog for his new release, The Lurking Man, second book in his Thanatology Series (which I have just started reading and am loving, by the way).

Right now, auditions are happening for The Cursed Man! Read on below to find out more about this!

 Alister believes death is in love with him. A simple smile from friend or stranger is all it takes to encourage death to kill.

With his family deceased and a path of destruction behind him, Alister sits inside a mental institution, sworn to silence and separated from the rest of the world, haunted by his inability to escape death’s preferential treatment.

But when a beautiful psychologist arrives at the institution and starts offering him care, Alister braces himself for more killings. When none follow, he tries to figure out whether he truly is insane or if death has finally come to him in the form of a woman.

“Wonderfully creepy, well told story.”

The Cursed Man is available in paperback and for your favorite reading device.

#GuestPost by Keith Rommel ~ #Giveaway for The Lurking Man





Today, I'm happy to have Keith Rommel, author of New Release The Lurking Man here for a guest post.  Don't forget to enter the Rafflecopter giveaway at the end of this post for a chance to win a digital copy of The Lurking Man.  Keith wrote this up to fit with the romantic theme of my blog! How cool is that? So now, I'll give Keith the floor. 


The Romantic Dance of Death
I hear voices like a whisper. But from across a great distance, I heard Cailean's and it sounded like a chorus of angel's singing a sweeping song about love and adulation. It was that beautiful.
Although we have never spoken before and that was the first time we met, often times that memory would bring me joy in my time of need. And now that she is here with me, standing beneath a bright spotlight with a gentle fall of snow that caresses her delicate skin, I can only wish that were a touch from my fingertips. But I have to remain concealed within the impenetrable wall of darkness that surrounds her. I am better off here because time has ravaged my body and I couldn’t imagine what I must look like. Undoubtedly, I would disgust her.
The nervous beat of my heart is hard to ignore and I take a step towards the light. I want to get close to her, but I'm frightened beyond words. I want to say something, but I know the sound of my voice will only startle her. So, I decide to wait for her to give in to her confusion and start asking questions. She will want to know how she got here, who I am, and what I want with her. Those questions, like the inevitable demise of all the people that are living, will come and I will be forced to face them. Until then, I will enjoy this moment and will savor being in her presence. Because this is the closest to someone I'd ever gotten.
But I must face the facts that she will never accept me for who I am and what I must do. And in the end, although she may not realize it, I am doing this because I care about her. The proof of that is in my gift of mercy to her.
“Who is there?” she says and I can easily see her confusion.
“Someone who is lonely,” I say, but in a voice too low for her to hear. What difference would anything I have to say make? Her fate has already been decided before she was born and it pains me to know that this is the way things must be. I wish things could be different between us, but I am no fool and I know what I am to her and everyone else: something to fear and loathe. After all, I bring death to the people…..


Chilling and sad... thanks so much, Keith! Now, to learn more about his new release, The Lurking Man, read on below.

Keith Rommel Shows that Death Has No Mercy in His Second Novel The Lurking Man

What happens after we die? Are we given choices based on how we lived our lives?  It’s an age-old question pondered by just about everyone. 

Author Keith Rommel dared to explore the answer by creating his newest novel The Lurking Man, a story of dark suspense that unmercifully reveals the life of a self-deluded, neglectful mother who caused irreparable damage to her family and ultimately struggles with death as much as life.  It’s the second novel in his suspenseful and thrilling Thanatology series that began with the eerie, spine-tingling The Cursed Man.

“Imagine Death knowing your deepest, darkest secrets and all of your private pain,” said Rommel about The Lurking Man. “Now imagine it wants to use what it knows against you so that you bend to its will.”

In The Lurking Man, main character Cailean stands beneath a spotlight in a blinding snowstorm. She has no idea where she is or how she got there, but she senses something moving around her in the darkness outside the light.

When the ominous presence calling himself Sariel makes himself known, he declares that he is Death Incarnate and that Cailean has died. He has taken her to the Aperture, a place between the living and the dead, where he will force her to face the sins of her past in exchange for twenty-four hours of life to try and right her wrongs. But what she must do in return for this precious time is unthinkable.

Rommel’s series is titled due to Thanatology being a study that explores death and dying. Rommel has taken this science to a fictionalized, gothic-style horror level that may leave you breathless and unable to stop your mind from contemplating how you live your own life. 

The books are grouped in the series due to the nature of the theme, but each book may be read independently.  “Those who read in order will be able to catch glimpses from previous book(s), but it is not dependent upon each individual story,” Rommel said. 

The Cursed Man and The Lurking Man are released by Sunbury Press. Book three in the Thanatology series is on schedule for a summer 2013 release.  The Cursed Man is currently being considered as a feature film.
