It’s Friday the 13th!

Shhhshhhshhhshhhh…

Ahhhahhhahhhahhh…

I know how corny that was – whatever! But how can you resist doing it today, the one day when you can walk around making strange sounds and people smile and nod, instead of looking at you like you are crazy? Well, this Friday the 13th, you are making that sound from behind a mask… and that might still get you the side eye…

Have you ever stopped to think about why Friday the 13th is such a weird day? Long before Jason Voorhees terrorized people at Camp Crystal Lake, there was some superstition about this day. Learn more about it here , if you dare!

Looking for something to do on a Saturday night? Come hang out with me at ConTinual! My author spotlight starts at 7:00 pm EST on 11/14 and I’ll be doing a reading, talking about spooky stuff, and signing books for you!

AN ASK:

Do you use Goodreads? If you do, would you add The Realm to your “Want to Read” list or “Currently Reading” if you are in the thick of it, maybe even add it to the reading lists that the site has, like Horror Novels, Horror Novels by Women, etc.?

OK, ANOTHER ASK:

If you have read The Realm, would you share your thoughts? Post a review at Amazon and Goodreads, share the news with your friends, gift a copy of the book to them so they can get to know Patrick and run alongside him. Your words matter.

Alright, folks. It’s Friday the 13th. There have been, what, 12 Friday the 13th movies? None of us know if Jason is really dead. Stay safe out there.

Got plans on Thursday night?

So… whatcha doin’ on Thursday night? If you have some time, why not join us at The Realm’s Book Launch party? There will be readings and a discussion between myself and horror fiction-loving clergy about the afterlife (such fun!), and maybe even (absolutely for sure) a giveaway!

So, yeah, come check us out!

The party is at ConTinual on Thursday, 10/29 and it is gonna be awesome!

See you there at 8 pm est!

Something to listen to, something to read, something to watch

Hey you guys! The scary season is in full swing and, you know, if you forgot the thing I have been talking about nonstop, allow me to remind you here that my novel, The Realm, is coming out NEXT WEEK!!! (WOOOHOOO!!! Excuse me… I digress.) As we inch toward that momentous date (LOL!), let me supply you with something to listen to, something to read, and something to watch.

Just… all the things.

Should hold your interest for a bit! 🙂

To Listen To:

I sat down with Dicey Grenor and Chantell Renee to talk about my short story, “The Dance”, which appears in the newly released anthology SLAY: Stories of the Vampire Noire, as well as some other sexy and horror-type stuff.

To Read:

A blog post… a short story about Gate Night… a preview of The Realm… Amazing stuff in this Halloween Haunt posted on the HWA’s Halloween blog.

To Watch:

Check out the book trailer for The Realm. It’s pretty cool!

By the way, have you preordered your copy of The Realm? I would… I DEFINITELY WOULD! Author R.J. Joseph said, “You need this book,” on her Twitter feed. I tend to agree! Learn more about it here or just go for it and grab your copy here!

Thanks! Live love and prosper… wait, wrong genre.

🙂

Ooooh… scary!

I spent some time talking about the movies that scare me, and I mean bonafide scares – the kind that make you pull the covers up under your nose or turn on all the lights in the house. There were several favorites mentioned on the panel and some new finds that are absolutely terrifying. Maybe the movie that frightens you most was mentioned! Check it out! Airs on 10/30 at ConTinual!
