2 New Things: A Preview and Some Sketch Comedy!

Coming THIS summer to Amazon and Kindle!

Hey everyone!

I know I’ve been quiet lately, but I’ve still been writing. Actually I’ve been writing a LOT! And I plan to prove it in the second half of 2013! Here are two cool things that are in the works:

1.) Check out the incredibly awesome cover art by illustrator J.T. Molloy to the left for my upcoming Young Adult Horror Adventure Violet Black and the Curse of Camp Coldwater! You’ll all be able to purchase and read Violet’s story VERY soon! 🙂

2.) I’ve fallen in with a “bad crowd” as my dad would say, and joined up with a truly excellent sketch comedy group: Kick A Rock! The very first Kick A Rock video written by yours truly is online now, and it’s also horror themed.

Kick A Rock Presents: METAPOCALYPSE!

If you’ve ever wondered why I tend not to write zombie stories, “Metapocalypse” will provide some insight as to the danger of too much zombie fiction clogging up our pop culture.

Check out ALL of Kick A Rock’s videos here: http://kickarock.com

New Book Giveaway!

Broken hearted people deserve FREE books. It's that simple.

Attention Readers:

In honor of my upcoming scary stories collection Valentine Terror Tales, I will be giving away paperback copies of my books Christmas Terror Tales and Jake Carter & the Nightmare Gallery!

The RULES:

-Tell me how or why you had the WORST Valentine’s Day this year.

OR

-Tell me about the WORST date you’ve ever been on.

Keep it short and sweet, and at worst PG13 (I write for 12 and up people!) Whoever describes the most unfortunate romantic encounter/day will be most deserving of free books. However, keep in mind that preference will be given to entries that are scary, funny, or hopefully a little of both (In other words, try not to be a “Debbie Downer” about it). 😉

UPDATE: I’m opening up the rules a bit! You can still enter based on the above, but also feel free to post a brief sentence about.

  • What you like OR dislike about Valentine’s Day.
  • What you like OR dislike about Romance or Dating.
  • Why you like scary stories OR why you deserve some FREE scary stories.

I’ll pick at least one winner at random. 🙂

Post your entry either here on my blog OR on the CTT Facebook page prior to March 1st. I look forward to hearing from you!

Romantic Prospects . . .

Cupid wants to fix you up . . .

A Love Vow

My Love moves me in strange, impossible ways.  When I awake, dreams of my Love flutter off like butterflies; I sour until I once more behold my Love in reality.  My Love’s greetings betray unspoken warmth.  The tones escaping my Love’s lips paralyze me with bliss.  I hang on them for hours, feasting on sugary music, until the sun sets.  My Love’s worth eclipses the cruel world.  So I entrust my Love to the protection of Death’s waiting arms with a hot kiss and a cold blade.

(Valentine Terror Tales coming for the 2013 Holiday Season!)
