The Fading Place – A New Review, Interview, and Limited Offer

Reader/Writer Gef Fox has been kind enough to review The Fading Place, and has said some pretty nice things — for example, that the story “doesn’t mince words and doesn’t slow down. It certainly served as a strong introduction to SanGiovanni’s work”.  Check out the full review HERE.

He also conducted an interview with me about the book, in which we talk about villains and monsters, Cujo, and being a mom.  You can check that out HERE.

Also, I have been informed that there are less than 10 copies left available of the hard cover version of The Fading Place.  If you’d like to buy one before this limited edition goes out of print, you can pick one up HERE.

A Few More Quick Things

fading_placeMy new novella, The Fading Place, is now available from DarkFuse.  Early reviews have been favorable.  If you pick up a copy, I hope you’ll let me know what you think. 🙂

 

 

 

 

Also, my short story, “Letting Go,” has been included in Piercing the Darkness Anthology: A Charity Anthology for the Children’s Literacy Initiative: “Twenty-eight of the biggest and brightest names in horror have gathered to shine their light upon an ever-increasing darkness—children’s illiteracy. Join them as they take you down into the depths, and hope you make it to the light on the other side. David Bain – Gary A. Braunbeck – Kealan Patrick Burke – Sandy DeLuca – Robert Dunbar – Greg F. Gifune – Christopher Golden – Janet Joyce Holden – Gerard Houarner – Jonathan Janz – Brian Keene – Jack Ketchum – Joe R. Lansdale – Jonathan Maberry – Ronald Malfi – Elizabeth Massie – C. Dennis Moore – James A. Moore – Gene O’Neill – Monica O’Rourke – Gord Rollo – Mary SanGiovanni – Lucy Snyder – Jeff Strand – Tim Waggoner – F. Paul Wilson – Simon Wood – T.T. Zuma.” I am pleased to be included with so many great writers for such a good cause. Click HERE to order.

My novella For Emmy should be available soon in paperback and e-book. Details as soon as it’s up and running.  I’m hoping to have my newest novel Chaos available withing the next few months in paperback and e-book, too.  There will be some upcoming short story sales to announce soon, as well.  In the meantime, if you’re interested, the Horror Librarian conducted an interview with me for Women of Horror Month which you can read HERE.

Regarding appearances, there are some updates to the 2014 schedule, including a Q&A at the Poe Museum in Richmond, VA, attendance at some national conventions, and an appearance at Scares that Care. Check it out HERE.

Also, I want to thank all those who supported my post about Women in Horror month by commenting and sharing it with others.  It means a lot.

 

A Few Quick Things

Hey folks — a few quick things that may be of interest:

This is the final week that Midnight Symphony, an anthology of novellas by some awesome writers (and me), will be available. This e-book anthology has largely been well-received, including a pretty great review on the FEARNET website, and many of these novellas are either unavailable elsewhere or extremely rare and hard to come by. If you were thinking of picking it up, this is the last chance. Available here for only $2.99!

A beautiful limited edition version of my short story collection, A Darkling Plain, is forthcoming. Details are on the way as soon as I can make them available.

I will likely be having short fiction appearing in a magazine, a chapbook, and an anthology in the next six months. Also, later in the year, there will be a new novel about ghosts, sort of, and an audiobook version of The Hollower. I’m excited about these projects. Details to follow.

Since next month is WOMEN IN HORROR month, look for interviews of me conducted by Gef Fox and also by Jeff Heimbuch for Lamplight Magazine. Also in February will be the release of my new novella The Fading Place by DarkFuse books. Those interested in preordering the book can get it for a discount now.

On Monday, Feb. 3, A WRITER’S LIFE will host one of the stops on the Les Daniels Blog Tour, celebrating the work of late Necon favorite, author Les Daniels. The incredibly witty Matt Bechtel of Necon E-books will be offering a guest blog post (“Witches, Victims and Gods: The Women of The Don Sebastian Chronicles“).

On Wednesday, Feb. 5th, I will have a new post up on Apex Publishing’s blog. Linkage will follow.

Finally, today (January 28) is my birthday, so if you’re waiting on an email/call/text/smoke signal/response to anything, I should hopefully be all caught up after today — Friday the latest.

THE FADING PLACE Available for Preorders

If you’re interesting in picking up my newest novella from DarkFuse, The Fading Place is now available for pre-order. The feedback I’ve received so far from reviewers has been good, so I think you’ll like this one. And it looks like you can get it at a discount if you pre-order now. I hope you’ll consider buying a copy. Or two. Or twelve (for family and friends). 🙂

Limited Time Discount on Novels and Other News

Starting tomorrow, the e-book (Kindle) versions of my three Hollower novels (The Hollower, Found You, The Triumvirate) and Thrall will be available at a wildly discounted price for a limited time. From 12/9/13-12/15/13, these four novels will be available for only $.99! If you don’t have a copy of one of these yet, please consider picking it up now. Also, any efforts to spread the word about this would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

Also, #1 Amazon bestseller Midnight Symphony, which includes my novella, For Emmy, among some really great work by incredibly talented writers, is still available (also for only $.99), but not for long. If you’re on the fence about buying it, check out this awesome review on Fearnet.com.

Midnight Symphony Now Available!

For a limited time only, MIDNIGHT SYMPHONIES, a collection of novellas from some really awesome authors (and, uh…me), will be available in various e-book formats for only $.99!  That’s 10 novellas from authors Kealan Patrick Burke, Bob Ford, Brian James Freeman, Jesus F.
