Tonight, at 8:00 pm EST, we'll be hanging out via Google+. Again, if you don't have a Google+ account, you can sign up for one here. I'll post a link later tonight right before the hangout, but if you want to bypass this, go to my profile around that time. There will be a button you click to join the hangout. See you there!
A Curmudgeon's Rant
So How About Next Monday Night?
You know, for our Google+ Hangout get-together. Let's say ... 8:00 pm EST.
If you don't have a Google+ profile, you can easily sign up for one. I'll post more instructions to our specific hangout next week.
Sound good?
EERIE By Blake & Jordan Crouch
My friend Blake Crouch has released a new ebook along with his brother Jordan. It's a horror novel, as you can probably guess from the great cover designed by Jeroen ten Berge. Here's what it's about:
From newcomer Jordan Crouch and Blake Crouch, author of the runaway bestseller Run, comes Eerie, a chilling, gothic thriller in the classic tradition of The Shining and The Sixth Sense.
TRAPPED INSIDE A HOUSE
On a crisp autumn evening in 1980, seven-year-old Grant Moreton and his five-year-old sister Paige were nearly killed in a mysterious accident in the Cascade Mountains that left them orphans.
WITH A FRIGHTENING POWER
It's been thirty years since that night. Grant is now a detective with the Seattle Police Department and long estranged from his sister. But his investigation into the bloody past of a high-class prostitute has led right to Paige's door, and what awaits inside is beyond his wildest imagining.
OVER ANYONE WHO ENTERS
His only hope of survival and saving his sister will be to confront the terror that inhabits its walls, but he is completely unprepared to face the truth of what haunts his sister's brownstone.
Eerie will be available exclusively on NOOK until June 12, when it will be available on all other electronic platforms.
Wanna Hang Out?
I love pretty much all things Google, so when Google+ debuted last year, I was really excited ... for, like, a month. Then, I don't know, I just found I couldn't keep up with it, not with already trying to stay active on Twitter and Facebook (and I'm not even that active on Facebook), so I eventually just forgot all about it. Every once in awhile when I'm using Gmail I'll remember, and want to post something, but will have nothing worthwhile to say. One thing I do like about Google+, however, is the ability to "hang out" with others. And I thought: Wouldn't it be cool to do that with readers and other fellow writers? So how about it, folks? If I hosted a hang out, would you be up for stopping by? It would be a week night, probably either seven or eight or nine o'clock eastern time. All you would need is a computer with Internet access and a Google account. If you don't have a webcam, that's no problem -- you can still participate via chat. So if you're interested let me know in the comments section, and we'll try to set something up.
