Shocklines Rocks Horror Day Contest!






Happy Horror Day!!

And to celebrate, I've got a nice juicy prize just right for the celebration. Read on!

My fellow Shockliners already know the dark joy, but for those of you yet to visit the vast cyber-aisles of THE greatest online bookstore for horror lovers, you're in for a treat AND I'm going to make it worth your while to have a little visit. Again, read on!

A little background: Matt Schwartz, the owner of Shocklines.com, would never admit it, but he has been responsible for launching and supporting the careers of innumerable horror writers (mine included!), and for being a major outlet for the small press horror industry. His bookstore and his amazing Shocklines Forum provide a hub for professional and aspiring writers, fans and publishers around the world to share industry news, friendship, support and all things horror genre related. I can't imagine what would happen to small press horror publishing if we lost Matt's Shocklines. So, in honor of "Your One-Stop Shop for Horror", I give you the Shocklines Rocks Horror Day Contest!

TOOOOOOT!


TOOOOOOOT!

Yup, that's me tooting my own horn one more time (Hmm, what did you think that sound was? Huh? *grins*). I thank you ALL once again for helping MAMA'S BOY reach the Number One spot in the Shocklines.com Bestsellers' List for the first week in October!

I'm honored to be there with such a distinguished group of writers such as Doug Clegg, Sarah Langan and Greg Gifune. Thanks again everyone for supporting MAMA'S BOY and helping us rise to the top. You're right up there with me folks, and I'm deeply touched and grateful for the privilege.

An enormous thanks also goes out to the wonderful Matt Schwartz at Shocklines.com for his amazing help in getting the book into so many hands. Although MB is out-of-print at the publishers, Matt still has a few copies left if anyone still wants a copy - Check Here.

BIG HUGS to you all!

Wickedly Yours,
Fran Friel
