Happy Halloween, Creepers.
The weekend delivered on the sheer madness it promised. The bar was so crazy, I didn't have time to
take a lot of pictures of everyone in their amazing costumes. I'll try and snap some more tonight and get
them up. Lots of spirit in the Crescent
City.
#AHEA
Our kickstarter is still live, but it's running out of time
with a long ways to go. Please help by
donating for the AFTER THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER anthology.
#closingcircles
The prologue to BROTHERS IN SOLITUDE is running over 600
words. I'm behind schedule, but I'll get
more work done today before work. Scheduled
off tomorrow, so I hope to have it up in the evening. I plan on having at least one chapter up a
week, giving me time to work on the project as well as finish the anthology.
THE GIVEAWAY
I missed yesterday's post due to work and sleep, but let's
finish this month-long event with a bang.
Here are today's prizes:
PAPERBACKS:
Before she ran into a compelling stranger on the busy streets of NYC, before she knew the truth about her father, before she died, Ria was just a normal girl, trying to make ends meet.
Now with an unhelpful six-thousand-year-old mentor, she wished someone had written a handbook on how to be undead. But small details, like how to drink blood without killing, why she wakes up in the middle of the day, and how to juggle two paranormal men, are near pointless when the scary Wicked Witch of Watertown has given her a week to report to the training facility. Better yet, she’s popped up on the collection list for the Assetato and the king of the were-lions. Can Ria survive long enough to come head-to-head with a ten-thousand-year-old vampire?
BLOOD PHOENIX: CLAIMED by Alisha Costanzo
Who knew immortality would be such a bitch.
Boot Camp for Vamps has a new prisoner, and Ria is testing her new world of rules and regulations, fighting her oldest nemesis—conformity. Her key battle is keeping her individuality and hiding her phoenix powers.
With an uptight mentor, an estranged werewolf, and an unlikely band of humans on her side, Ria must first survive her trials, designed to break her by a queen hell bent on making her suffer...let the nightmare begin.
SYNCHRONY by Anthony S. Buoni
Bad Apple, a goth band on the cusp of fame, is finally returning home after their first major tour. Restless and road weary, the group's vocalist, Vanian, meets Patricia, a mysterious woman he's noticed at several shows. As their relationship flourishes with creativity, passion, and witchcraft, a self-destructive bandmate spirals downward into drug abuse, insanity, and violence. When dysfunction and tragedy threaten Bad Apple's future, Vanian's voice and heart test the boundaries of life and death. Will music and love be enough to save Bad Apple and his soul?
DISTORTED (anthology from TRANSMUNDANE PRESS)
Tantalizingly bloody tales featuring human pitted against beast and gods, with the true majesty and horrors of the afterlife, with love and death and desire...
Eight writers modernize ancient mythologies in DISTORTED, proving that not every story has been told.
KILL THOSE DAMNED CATS (Lovecraftian anthology featuring THE UNINVITED GUEST by Rohit Sawant)
“Kill those damn cats!” Nyarlathotep commanded.
The machinations of cats and mad gods are beyond human understanding.
Kill Those Damn Cats is a Lovecraftian anthology about the Cats of Ulthar, new stories of those furious felines' heroic adventures as well as their nefarious misdeeds.
Everybody's got a story about those cats.
SHADOWED HEIGHTS (THE LAMPLIGHTER) by J. M. Nelson
The children of Shadowed Heights are disappearing. Investigative journalist D. Hartmann is on the case to discover what happened to them. When things turn sinister, it isn't whether or not he has the story of a century, it's whether anybody will believe him...
ELECTRONIC STORIES (delivered in .pdf format):
