Found out who's doing my cover art. It's going to look as good or better than anything you would see in a book store's new release section. Coming out in hardcover, paperback and e-book. I can't wait!

Talking Book deal with DarkFuse/Delirium

Got an endorsement from international bestselling author Warren Fahy - I'm stoked! Here's a better graphic of the cover by Stan Tremblay, design by Zach McCain:

My supernatural thriller, LILITH, is now available for pre-order in paperback from B&N.com! Available Jan. 2013.





Before evil had a name, there was LILITH.

Something has come aboard the U.S. Navy's newest state-of-the-art super carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, something supernatural and as ancient as time itself. And it's taking over the crew one by one.


Reporter Hunter Singleton and his wife Lisa, guests invited aboard to witness a routine training mission off the coast of North Carolina, soon learn that the CIA is onboard as well, and that some of the ship's crew are acting irrationally, even violently. When an unexpected monster hurricane slams New York, the ship rushes to assist in the aftermath, and Hunter, Lisa and the crew are faced with the terrifying realization that whatever has come aboard the Ford must be stopped before it is set free on the streets of Manhattan. But how do they fight something beyond human comprehension? How do they kill something that may not even be alive? The clock is ticking...and Time itself is running out.


"...takes us briskly along a surprising path from the real to the utterly fantastic." --Warren Fahy, International bestselling author of PANDEMONIUM and FRAGMENT


"She wasn't just in my mind, she was in my blood. Cold. Creepy. And she kept calling for me to come back to her. What more could you ask for from a mistress of the night?" --Steven Savile, Author of the #1 UK Bestselling novel SHADOW OF THE JAGUAR, SILVER and LONDON MACABRE

“Toby Tate’s work is menacing and original, and LILITH is an adrenaline rush of a novel, equal parts horror, military thriller and full-throttle adventure that will leave you breathless and wanting more. A promising new talent, Tate is one of the new wave of dark fiction authors on the rise, and a writer whose work you do not want to miss.” --Greg F. Gifune, critically acclaimed author of THE BLEEDING SEASON and APARTMENT SEVEN
