It’s a Bad Neighborhood Sale #horror #anthology .99 cents


It’s a Bad Neighborhood Sale #horror #anthology .99 cents

Do you know my scary little secret? In addition to writing paranormal romance, I also dig horror. The latest short story “Husk” is included in a extreme horror anthology, Bad Neighborhood, and if you’re willing to take a chance, the publisher is offering a .99 cents New Year’s sale!

Wahoo!

For 24 hours, it’ll be .99 cents, and the price rises in increments. Kinda strange, I know. I haven’t seen a step-up plan, but incentive to buy now!

Bad Neighborhood

A themed anthology for extreme horror fans.

In this chilling horror collection, 29 writers and poets have come together to share tales of the grotesque, the supernatural, and more. Their words will pluck you from your comfort zone and leave you for dead, or worse. Have you ever considered where evil bides its time when it’s not outside your door? What disturbing locale could make it feel safe? We've all heard that home is where the heart is, but alas, that heart is sometimes racing…

We hope you live in a good neighborhood.

Here’s the deal:


The Amazon.com (USA-based) will run from January 1, 8 a.m. EST (5 a.m. PST) to January 8, 3 a.m. EST (2 a.m. PST).

That one will step up in price gradually. January 1 8 a.m. EST-Jan 2 8 a.m. EST the book will be a jaw dropping $0.99 (an 81% discount). January 2 8 a.m. EST-January 4, 8 a.m. EST the book will be $1.99.

January 4, 8 a.m. EST-January 6, 8 a.m. EST the book will be $2.99. Finally, from January 6, 8a.m. EST the book will be $3.99 until January 8 at 3 a.m. EST when it returns to its regular $4.99 price.

The Amazon.co.uk (UK-based) will run from January 5 at 9 a.m. GMT (4 a.m. EST) to January 10 at 12 a.m. GMT.

This will step up in price, too. It has far fewer steps. It'll start January 5 at 9 a.m. GMT at £0.99. That price will run until January 7 at 9 a.m. GMT (4 a.m. EST). January 7 at 9 a.m. GMT until the sale ends on January 10, 12 a.m. GMT the ebook will be £1.99.

Start your New Year with a fright! And don’t say you weren’t warned!

Until next time,

Pervy Girl Reading Challenge


Oh, how I love a challenge, don't you?

I've never signed up for a reading challenge before. Yes, that's right. I read when I read. Sometimes, weeks pass by without a page turned, and other times -- like the past week -- I devour five full-length novels and a few novellas in a short amount of time. (Ah, the pleasures of time off!)

Anyway, when I came across this extra-special challenge from Herding Cats & Burning Soup, I had to play along. Can't wait to expand those erotic reading horizons, and maybe even explore some new territory in my own work.

For more information, check out the sign-up page:

It's going to be fun.

Until next time,

Wrap-up: 52-Week Savings

Our Meager Savings:
Ignore the ugly glue stains on the bottom!
Well I sucked at the savings plan! We ended the year with about $7 in the kitty! Where did we go wrong?

The idea is to put a $1 in the first week, $2 in the second week and so on, until you reach $52 in the last week. At the end, you’re supposed to end up with $1,378.

From the weekly markings, it looks like we did well for about three months, and then fell off. One issue is we attempted to keep up two plans – one for the Teen and one for me, which means me contributing the funds for both. At this time, my daughter suggested we combine and we did.


The biggest problem? First, it started as making change for larger bills, and then we began to “borrow” for special outings. Soon, we stopped putting in, and the rest is history.

So how did you do? Anyone succeed? Who’s going to try again in 2016? Maybe we should use a container that can’t be opened!

If you’re interested, here’s a cool Pinterest board with various charts:


BTW – In general, I don’t “suck” at saving … maybe just this one!

Until next time,

A New Holiday Tradition -- Naughty Elves with @LV_Writer


Sometimes the flashiest present isn’t the best one. A good-loving elf story from Lily Vega is going to be a new tradition. (She better keep writing them). Last year, readers met Maisy and Zed in Naughty, Naughty (Peppermint Twist) and this year, bad-boy Brody gets his tale in Wicked Game (Reindeer Games).

When Santa brings in two new female elves, Brody is instantly drawn to the saucy and seductive, dark-haired beauty Beryl, but he gets paired up with the demure “wildflower” Holly. Despite her more subdued demeanor, Holly possesses dreams of her own:

“In her imagination, she was a fairytale princess surrounded by woodland creatures and seven dwarves who loved her collectively more than a single man ever could.”

Now that’s my kind of story! Alas, Holly dreams of finding her one true special elf, and despite Brody acting like a bit of a jerk to her, she continues to show him kindness in all the best ways possible.

Vega shares a wonderful, heart-warming tale – the best type of read for the holiday season.  


If you haven’t yet, make sure to check out Naughty, Naughty for even more elfin’ fun. http://amzn.com/B00R33W9GA
