The Official Bryan W. Alaspa Website

I have been working on what started out as a short story, but has grown.  Now it is over 10,000 words and still going, heading into novella territory. Anyway, it is a horror story and one involving a relatively new and super-creepy monster some of you might be aware of.  My plan is to make [...]

It’s February, often the shortest, yet most depressing month.  For me, in the past, it was always because of Valentine’s Day (not anymore, since I found my lovely wife Melanie).  For some it is because it is the depths of winter.  Some are still having some post-holiday blues.

Just a quick reminder that if you have an e-reader that is NOT a Kindle (such as a Nook, Kobo or one of the many others from around the world) you can still get my books – thanks to Smashwords. I really like Smashwords.  I like what they are trying to do and the fact [...]

Anyway, THIS article is fascinating.  Some Smashwords authors have found themselves on the New York Times Bestseller lists.  Pretty cool and it gives me [...]

I have been out of town for a while, folks, so sorry for not posting in a while. I hope you all had a great Independence Day for those of you in the States.  I was out of town. I got a call from ABC7 News here in Chicago to talk about Sabotage.  I am [...]

Yeah, so, sometimes I am really stupid.  I didn’t realize that Smashwords, the site where you can buy and download all of my books in ANY format, created a profile page for me.  Yeah, kind of makes it much easier to find my books there than doing a search and worrying that the adult filter [...]

So, you don’t have a Kindle or a Nook or a Kobo reader or any kind of ereader. Maybe you have an iPad or tablet or just a laptop. Heck, maybe you just have a PC and don’t mind reading books on that computer screen. You’d love to read my books, but without an ereader, [...]
