I'm running late with the October issue of my author’s newsletter, “Night Creatures’ Call”. I've been loaded with getting the short story collection, "Bad Apps", together. I meant to release the collection this month but am going to have to push it to next month or maybe even December. There are still several more stories for it to put through critique and revise and I want to do a beta release of it as well. But it hasn't been so much the book that has put me behind in this month’s newsletter than myself.
October’s Issue of ‘Night Creatures’ Call’
I purposefully put off this month’s newsletter because I want to include in it an offer for a free book that I’ve already had out. But to do that, I have to publish the book to Smashwords because Amazon won’t let you offer discounts or free books if you don’t participate in their Kindle Select program in which I no longer participate. In order to participate in it you can’t have your books at Smashwords and I have two there. So, I'm in the process of making it available at Smashwords. I gave the book’s cover to a contractor to prepare just last week. So, as soon as the cover’s ready, I'll upload the book and then release the newsletter with the coupon for a free copy.
‘Bad Apps’
"Bad Apps" is a collection of science fiction short stories. Many of the stories cross over into the horror genre but all are intense and thrilling. They have to do with mobile device apps that are strange, creepy or deadly or all three. Some of these stories have horror in them that come right to the edge of the supernatural realm if not actually go there. There are stories about VR, and alternative universes and histories. There’s a story involving a search engine that can read users’ minds, one about a Voodoo app and another about a streaming music video that conjures up a demon. I'm trying to make all of these stories as suspenseful and chilling as possible to make “Bad Apps” worth a reader's time, money and loss of sleep at night (if applicable).
For more details about the stories in “Bad Apps”, subscribe to my free author’s newsletter, “Night Creatures’ Call”. If you subscribe now, you'll get the October issue with the coupon for the free book.
Next week will be the Book-To-Movie for the month in which I'll be reviewing H.P. Lovecraft's short story, “Dagon”, and its movie adaptation.
Until next time . . .

I remember that movie.
ReplyDeleteSorry the book has been delayed so much.
It's okay. It's kind of expected. Like I said, I have a day job and so that can keep me back. But I'll publish it for sure. I just need to keep everyone updated where I'm at with it and let them know when it does get delayed so they don't think I'm just talking bull about releasing a book.
