Cryptic in the Library
Awesome news for Cryptic.
As you can well imagine, I’ve been a reader far longer than I’ve been a writer. When I wasn’t buying books, I was borrowing them from the library whenever possible. Stacks to a time, sometimes (I’ve always been a fast reader. Too bad I don’t write as quickly as I read).
I’m happy to report that today The Berkshire Athenaeum – accepted my book “Cryptic” for future public library distribution. It’s exciting news, because…once? I sat there reading the books by other people- and now, I have one of mine- with my own name on it- there for others to read.
If you go over by that way, don’t forget to ask for it and check it out of the library when it’s added to the rotation. If you’re no where near here, don’t forget – it’s also available to order from Barnes & Noble and Amazon, too 🙂
Ah. Today is a good day 🙂

The Wonderful world of ‘Cryptic’
I have received some wonderful reviews of Cryptic since its launch. I am so thrilled that it’s largely so well received.
“I eagerly await the next installment – or indeed anything that drips from the pen of Ms Chaney.” – Adam Millard, author of Dead Cells and Dead West.
“The book gripped me and refused to relinquish its grasp until the final sentence.” – Dane Grannon, author of Lucky Streak
“I have read débuts from other writers and put the book down within five pages…In this case we witness a début into greatness. Very few writer’s have such talent as D.A. Chaney.” – R.D. Tuen, author of short story “Suicide Solution” in the Wake Up Dead anthology.
“Ms. Chaney eschews the modern day zombie story and takes you back to a time where there were not gun stores in every corner.” – Todd Brown, author of the Zomblog series, Dead-the Ugly Beginning series, Dakota, and more.
“Wish It Had Been Longer” – Ursula K. Raphael, reviewer and author of The Survivor
Tonight, I received an unexpected and very thrilling review by Chantal Boudreau – another successful and prolific author of titles such as “Fervor,” “Elevation”, “Insurance”, “Magic University”, and more than a dozen short story collections -some of which we have shared together as well like Wake the Witch (a charity anthology), Hell Hath No Fury (an all female zombie collaboration anthology), and non-fiction Zombie Writing! collection.
I’m totally buzzing with happiness that she enjoyed it. “DA is a natural writer”.

If you’re looking for new books to read- check out the very fine authors who took the time to not only read my novella- but kind enough to leave reviews on it. I know they will appreciate it, as much as I do. 🙂
