Greetings and salutations, lovely peoples of the interweb. How goes it? I do hope you replied “swimmingly,” as that’s today’s secret word!
Wait…not so secret anymore, is it. I’ve gone and spoiled everything again.
Now, Tony, don’t get so down on yourself. It could have happened to anybody. Chin up, big guy. Turn that frown upside down. The grass is always greener on the other side. Three apples in the mouth is one in the cider press. The first to scream is the first to lose a finger. Twelve whippings for every one retort.
Every positive has its negative.
Gee, thanks other Tony. I feel much better, but some of those sayings were a little creepy…
…speaking of positives, how’s this for a positive? You, my friendly readers, have the chance to win one of SIX amazing grand prizes (Including TWO Kindle Fires) through the main blog hop, and an additional chance of 75 other prizes through the individual participating authors (including me)!
I will post all of the required info for the grand prizes below, but first, my giveaway:
Since I absolutely love me a good surprise, I’m giving away a positively stuffed mystery bag. If you’ve been involved in my giveaways in the past, you know I put all manner of goodies inside these things, so you don’t want to miss out.
In addition to the big giveaway, I’m also offering FREE copies of my short story collection, Welcome to Moon Hill, for anyone who purchases any version of my debut novel, Soundtrack to the End of the World. You can order the hardcover, paperback, or ebook version, and get the free Moon Hill ebook. All you have to do is email your recipet/purchase confirmation to horrorwritercontest AT gmail DOT com.
By purchasing any of my books, you can also gain extra entries into the giveaway, as explained below. To enter for a chance to win the MYSTERY BAG, simply fill out the Rafflecoptor entry form. Good luck!
