Hi Folks,
Just a quick introduction. I write SF, Adventure, Juvenile, and dabble in
western, mythology, and other genres. For those of you interested in writing
horror short stories, poetry, and illustrations, you might try Barbara Custer's
Night To Dawn Magazine at http://bloodredshadow.com/ Barbara likes vampires,
werewolves, zombies, and all things supernatural. She doesn't pay much, but is
good to work with. My latest release is "Jur: A Story of Pre Dawn Earth", about
a couple lost in the Jurassic. Visit my Blog and website below to learn more
about me and my books. I look forward to meeting all of you on Board.

I review some genres on my Blog when I have time, but I mainly read SF, Mystery,
and Adventure books for review. Some Thrillers also, but I don't review the
horror genre with vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc. Visit my Blog at

I know it's early.

It's very early. It's so early, I'm barely awake. ;3

Just kidding; this email is actually in reference to the topic. Those of you in the group, who know me from this group, know I tend towards the silly.

But...

One of these years, it may be fun, maybe more as individuals rather than as a group project (though we can do it as a group, in the sense that we all belong to this group, rather than in the sense of co-authoring a work) to do GothNoWriMo as a group.

Yes, I'm a late starter. I only found out about this WriMo today. I posted some links for it at LinksAPlenty. Apparently, the genre features such things as crumblnig castles, ancent prophecies that are, or are not, clear (depending on the work), damsels in distress, and. (what I understand from today's search) an "emo" atmosphere.

It may be fun to try. Who knows?

Author P.W. Creighton (Nightfall) and I will be judges of the writing

contest portion for this cool Blogiversary party on Haunt Jaunts

blog this Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Come have fun, there'll be goodies,

and more. Plus submit a writing piece: open to two categories: fiction

(any genre) and travel. There will be a $5 entry fee, with all entry fees

being donated to the Lymphoma Research Foundation. There will be

two winners, one in each category (fiction and travel). They will each

receive a $25 gift Amazon.com card, and the winning pieces will be

published on HJ.

 

There's also a calendar: Are you a jaunter who likes taking pictures of

haunted places? Want to share your images with others and have it seen in

a calendar?

 

Haunt Jaunts is going to look for pictures to include in its first calendar.

These calendars will be for sale, however $5 from each one will be

donated to the Lymphoma Research Foundation, a cause near and

dear to Haunt Jaunts' heart. (Literally. H. J. had a tumor grow just

over my heart. Thanks to research strides made in part by organizations

like the LRF, it's why she's still here today.)

If you're photo is chosen, you'll receive a copy of the calendar

(which at this point is looking to be a $15 value).

Instead of the usual type of excerpt, here are some fun lines from Breathless, book one in my Blue Fire Saga. There are currently 3 books in the series. Links follow.

1. "Just for the sake of this class, let's assume vampires really do exist." The professor winked. "It will make things so much more fun, don't you think?" 

2. "It seems this is your lucky day, volkaane," Stefan said. "You'll not die tonight."

"I could say the same to you, vampire," Rave replied, "were you not already dead."

 

3. "Why do you care about fitting in?" Stefan asked Leesa. "Fitting in is overrated, if you ask me." 

 

4. "And he hasn't tried to, you know, bite your neck or anything?" Cali asked.

"Ha! No, he's always been nice." Leesa unconsciously rubbed her neck. "A bit strange, for sure, but nice."

Cali grinned. "Of course he's a bit strange—he's a freaking vampire!"

 

5. "Oh my god," Judy said, feeling the small puncture wound on her throat. "I think I was bitten by a vampire. A one-fanged vampire."

         

6. "I was drawn to you the first time I saw you." Rave flashed his lopsided grin. "Maybe it's the vampire blood in you. That always gets my attention."

7. Damn his inner fire—what was she supposed to do, kiss him through an oven mitt?

8. The feeling of warmth that exploded into her as their tongues connected was beyond imagining. She felt like she was flying, like a thousand tiny mouths were kissing every inch of her body, like her skin was wrapped in the most delicious chocolate and every pore could taste it.

The second novel in my Night’s Dream Series, Danse Macabre, was published yesterday and is available through:

my site at http://xenex.org/writing/dansemacabre.php

Double Dragon Publishing at http://www.double-dragon-ebooks.com/single.php?ISBN=1-55404-966-0

And Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081INP9G/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=xenexorg-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399349&creativeASIN=B004Y5AUQQ

 

Description:

When one dresses largely in black and belongs to a Wiccan coven on campus, having an older boyfriend who thinks he is a vampire almost makes sense. However, when Roselyn's lover Dryden becomes an actual vampire—albeit a reticent one—and her preternatural roommate Shane is mistakenly taken hostage in her place, it is up to Roselyn to take on the cockroaches of the daemonic world without ending up on the wrong side of a pair of fangs.

 

 

Also, my publisher has dropped the price of my first book, We Shadows, for the month of May.  Check it out, it’s only $1.99 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Y5AUQQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=xenexorg-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399349&creativeASIN=B004Y5AUQQ
