RANDOM REALITIES and word of mouth

noreply@blogger.com (Melanie) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:53:00 +0000

First off, I need to thank everyone who purchased a copy of Random Realities from Amazon or Barnes and Noble -- you are all superlatively tasteful people and your names will live on forever in the hearts of right-thinking persons.

Better yet, people who have bought the book are recommending it to their friends, posting about it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LJ and other social media sites, and generally being the hardworking PR team that I can't afford. See, when you self-publish works like this, word-of-mouth advertising is an absolute godsend -- unless your last name is Gaiman or Rowling, you simply can't sell without it. So a second thank you goes out to everyone who's posted about RR, or just mentioned it to someone in passing -- seriously, you people are the best.

And finally, a HUGE thank you goes out to my lovely, LOVELY fellow podcasters Arthur and Big Fatty for posting about my book and R.J. Dennis's short story on their respective shows. R.J. Dennis, by the way, is a incredibly nifty writer as well as a cohost of A Cup of Fresh Hell Served With a Side of Heaven, and his story "Blood of Prey," a delightfully creepy tale about four para-normally gifted teens battling a soul-stealing preacher, is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords for 99 cents. You won't get better entertainment value!

Thirteen Minutes into Doomsday

noreply@blogger.com (Jerry Davis) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:16:00 +0000

Jerry wrote a new story called "Thirteen Minutes into Doomsday" and recorded his reading of it for a new horror contest called "Masters of Macabre." He usually cringes and hides his face when he hears a recording of himself doing a reading, but this one didn't turn out that bad, especially toward the end ... you could tell Jerry was really getting into it.

The challenge: Jerry had to write a horror story which deals with technophobia and Y2K. Now, there's horror, and there's comedy horror. You can probably tell which route Jerry took.

Listen to it below, and if you like it, vote for Jerry to win.

Details and the rest of the stories entered into the contest can be found here: Masters of Macabre Horror Contest
