Rabbit in Red’s official release day is Tuesday September
29, but guess what? The Amazon and Smashwords links have been made available
early! Please grab a copy while the book is on sale for 99 cents (and don’t
forget to go back and leave a review!).
My friends, family, colleagues, followers here: You’ve all
been incredibly supportive! Let me tell you all about how to get the book now
and a final “what’s this book about” post from me. I’d sure appreciate if you
want to share this with your friends and family, too.
What’s the book
about?
Bill Wise has blood in his past, so he turns
to horror films to wipe it clean. Jaime Stein has felt the betrayal of death,
so she too takes refuge in the on-screen deaths of others. Now Bill, Jaime, and
seventeen other horror-loving teens have gathered at Rabbit in Red Studios, the
brainchild of eccentric horror producer Jay “JB” Bell, for the terror-filled,
blood-drenched contest of their lives.
JB
has presented this competition as a race between the best of the best that will
reward the winners with cash, internships, and a career making the movies they
love. But things aren’t always as they seem at Rabbit in Red, and soon life
starts to imitate art. Will Bill and Jaime be strong enough to confront real
horror to save their friends, or will they all fall victim to JB’s twisted
plans?
I prefer print. When
is that coming out?
I love the feel of print, too. Honestly though, what I ask
of my best supporters is to buy the e-book first. It’s only 99 cents if you get
it during our release celebration! Why? For new authors like me, it’s the sales
of e-books that get noticed, not the sale of my print. So if you want to help me
climb those charts and get my name out there, get the e-book, please. Then come
get a nice collector’s edition of the print book at a couple of special parties in central Illinois. Out-of-towners will be able to order print online next month, too.
Why did you write
this book?
I love horror. I was most inspired by Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, which is not a horror
story by the way. But Cline took pop culture and made a story out of it. When I
first read that book, I wanted to do the same, but with horror. I used to eat,
sleep, and breathe nothing but Stephen King. So I got the idea of making an
adventure of the stories I love.
But it’s A LOT more than that. This book started out as pure
fun. It’s the adventure I, as the self-proclaimed #1 horror fan in the world,
would love to do! But this is my art, too. I wanted meaning behind it. I wanted
to explore fear, loss, love, death, coming-of-age, and more from my own
perspectives and experiences. That’s all there. I hope you love it.
I do love it. What
can I do?
Reviews will make or break authors. PLEASE leave a review on
Amazon (even if you read it elsewhere). Consider posting that review on all of
the other sites where the book is available.
Share this blog, the book, and whatever else you’d like with
friends and family. We live in a world where today, I would argue, most people
observe and don’t comment/share. You might think that’s crazy, but someone is
reading this (and possibly enjoying it) with absolutely no intention of sharing
or commenting. It’s just not what some do. But I’m asking you to change that,
and help us spread the word. Share, comment, and tell the world about it, if
you love it!
Okay, where do I buy
it again?
Go here to get it on Amazon.
Go here to get it on Smashwords.
As more sites and places become available, I’ll update this
section.
How do I follow you
for the latest Rabbit in Red updates?
Please do follow me. Who knows? Maybe this will be a movie
someday! Or maybe—even for just one day—I’ll hit number one on a bestseller’s
chart. And of course you know that this is only book one, with at least two
more Rabbit in Red books coming out! To get all that info and more, follow me
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and/or Tumblr, whatever you prefer.
