The cover of Blood Covenant with effusive praise from Chuck Wendig.

Imagine if violent criminals turned up at your place and held you hostage. Now imagine that wasn't the worst thing to happen today. Blood Covenant. #DontBleed

AWARDS ELIGIBILITY
I haven't published a lot this year (a few short stories are still in the queue) but my novel, BLOOD COVENANT, was published in May and I'm super proud of it. It's a violent horror thriller and eligible in this year's awards if you think it worthy. #DontBleed

Cover of my novel Blood Covenant with a Chuck Wendig blurb that says: “Baxter effortlessly jukes and feints between crime fiction and supernatural horror, taking this story to darker, stranger places. I am foolishly late to the party on Alan Baxter, but BLOOD COVENANT makes it clear I need to catch the hell up.” – Chuck Wendig, NYT bestselling author of Aftermath and Black River Orchard

What if a violent home invasion wasn't the worst thing to happen today?

It begins! #DontBleed

Blood everywhere. Slick across the bright white tiles of the bank’s floor, arced up the equally pristine wall behind him, a warm spray across his eyes. Paul Glenn’s boot sucked against the ground and left a perfect red impression of its sole as he staggered back a step. Screams and wails punctuated the air, the entire thing gone to shit in seconds.

First round ARCs of this one are going out right now from Cemetery Dance and AAAARRRGGGHHHH! *deep breath* I'm fine. Everything's fine. #DontBleed

Promo graphic for my new novel Blood Covenant. Whatever happens, don’t bleed. What should have been a breeze of a bank heist for James Glenn and his crew goes violently wrong, forcing them to flee, blood-stained and angry. They stumble onto a remote lodge that doesn’t open for another month – a perfect place to lie low until the heat’s off. Except it’s occupied. The Moore family, just arrived to prepare for the season, are taken hostage by the criminals, but not without bloodshed. And when blood gets spilled, something ancient notices. Something malevolent. Something ravenous. Their only hope is the youngest Moore, teenager Rueben, outside and unseen when James and his gang arrive. It’s up to Rueben to get help and save his family, but the influence of the ancient evil is taking a toll on him as well. Paul Tremblay’s The Cabin at the End of the World meets Adam Nevill’s The Ritual with a monstrous reinvention.

It's getting closer! #BloodCovenant #DontBleed

Blood Covenant Whatever happens, don’t bleed. What should have been a cakewalk of a bank heist for James Glenn and his crew goes violently wrong, forcing them to flee, blood-stained and angry. Luckily, they stumble onto a remote lodge that doesn’t open for another month. A perfect place to lie low until the heat’s off. Except it’s occupied. The Moore family, just arrived to prepare for the season, are taken hostage by the criminals, but not without bloodshed. And when blood gets spilled, something ancient notices. Something malevolent. Something ravenous. Their only hope is the youngest Moore, teenager Rueben, outside and unseen when James and his gang arrive. It’s up to Rueben to get help and save his family, but the influence of the ancient evil is taking a toll on him as well. Paul Tremblay’s The Cabin at the End of the World meets Adam Nevill’s The Ritual with a monstrous reinvention, out in May 2024 through Cemetery Dance Publications. Pre-orders coming soon!

I hope this piques your interest.
