SKIN JOB by Michael Thomas-Knight chosen for Terry M. West’s Car-Nex Project
I guess you could call this my first book publishing deal. Terry M West’s publishing company, Pleasant Storm Entertainment, has accepted my story ‘Skin Job’ to be included in the Car-Nex series of books. The novelette will be released in 2016 as part of the related story series originated by Terry’s story, Night of the Car-Nex.
More about the he Car-Nex series:
Select writers were invited to create an original story featuring the demon creature Terry invented and first wrote about in his tale, Night of the Car-Nex. The story of this conjured beast was originally published in his top-selling short-story collection, What Price Gory. Car-Nex is short for Carnivore from the Nexus and stands as the unifying thread in the subsequent book series. Much like Lovecraft’s Necronomicon, which had shown up in many other stories and mediums, The Car-Nex creature lives on in these separate tales.
My story will be released as its own Kindle book. It can be read as a stand alone piece and you don’t have to read the other tales to know what is happening. They are not chronologically connected.
However readers are also enjoying the series as a whole, purchasing other tales and seeing how different writers approach the same subject matter.
Prior to the release of SKIN JOB, you may want to read Terry’s original story, Night of the Car Nex from the What Price Gory? Collection.
You can also check out the other books in the series which have been released at different times during the year.

Coming soon!
I wasn’t sure when I should make this announcement because a lot can happen between now and the next six months. But, the contract is signed and everything is moving forward, so I thought I would relay the info…

Congratulations, Mike!
Thanks Bob. Waiting to read more from you 🙂
Dude, major congrats are in order! Well done, you. 🙂
Is Terry’s original work a prerequisite for understanding Skin Job? or just a good idea?
Either way, GZ once again! 😀
Thanks! Every story can be read without reading the others. We were even allowed to take liberties with the appearance and capabilities of the demon creature. But Terry’ s story was excellent and motivated me to participate in the project, so it’s a good read 🙂
Congrats, Mike!
Thanks Renae, small steps but I’m happy I can share my dark visions with others 🙂
A big congrats Mike!! Looks like you’re star is on the rise!
Thanks Geoff! I keep my fingers crossed but don’t expect too much – out of the millions and millions of writers out there trying to make it, only a handful will…
Hey that’s awesome! Congratulations!
Thanks Zoe 🙂
