Good news, everyone!
Hello, everyone. I’m back with another update.
Firstly, I really have to apologize. I’ve left my website in a state of limbo since the release of my last book. I’m getting back into it in preparation for the Bookstagram Book-a-thon II in August, so things will look different and better by then. But I also hope to revamp the website in general and make it more horror author-y as I’ve decided to do a rebrand. I am no longer The Horror Author Bryan C. Laesch. I am now the Catholic Horror Author Bryan C. Laesch. I was told to lean into that as it’s memorable and makes people engage. So, I’ll be making changes as appropriate.
What else is there?
Well, in case you missed it, I released a new book, Becoming the Beast, which is finally available for purchase. Click this

Further, I’m working on two books right now: Tales of Horror III: Monsters and Motorcycles and The Strange Tale of Jonathan Harper. Jonathan’s book was going to be the original TOH3, but it ended up being too long, so now it’s going to be a trilogy. Don’t know when it will come out, especially since I’m still writing the second part, but I hope to have TOH3 out later this year. (Will probably miss Halloween, though…)
And there’s more. I plan on releasing RE: Encounter, the prequel short story of BTB, as its own separate e-book on Amazon sometime in the near future and having an audiobook of it. The reason for this is Amazon allows series to be linked together to help readers better understand a story/series, and I hate for BTB to be considered the first story in the RE: Encounter, when it’s actually RE: Encounter. I just need a cover for it, which I’m hoping Midjourney will help me to create. Although, who knows when the audiobook will debut.
Additionally, I had the cover for TOH2 redone.
I wasn’t real happy with the cover for TOH2, and I came into some money soon that helped me fix it. This redo also helps keep it in tune with TOH and the rest of the TOH series as they will all have the same cover artist. It should help strengthen my brand. In theory… And if you want to buy it, you can do so here.
So, yeah. Lots going on. Some of which I can’t report here because I can’t remember it.
And that’s the news!
