BLOG TOUR DE FORCE Day 6

I know a secret. Can you guess what it is? 

Writers and storytellers are thought to be liars, but we’re not. We keep secret truths in our pockets, wallets, purses, and, most especially in our hearts. We know that most people aren’t ready to hear these secret truths head on, so we hide them. We hide them behind the thin veil of fantasy or snark, horror or suspense. These tales we weave are not lies, not falsehoods; they are, at their very foundations, truths.

But, let’s get back to my secret, or should I say, my secret within a secret. I’m not Rachel. But then, I’m pretty sure most of you figured that out due to the very nature of this particular blog tour. The big question is: Who am I? Really, who are any of us? I mean really?

When it comes right down to it, when you read these words on your computer screen, it could be just about anyone. Well, if you want the prize – yeah, I said prize – you’ve got to guess. Luckily for you, you’ve only got eleven people to guess from. Eleven to one odds, not bad, even if you’re in Vegas. 

Still, Rachel will send a free copy of the new horror anthology, The Evil Within to each and every unique poster to this blog. Since she’s not here, she can’t argue; besides if you saw it in print, it must be true.

Would I lie?


Visit the awesome Pinky’s Pub for a review for further proof and leave a comment if you want to receive extra chances to win the gift baskets! Enter this phrase: ‘SNARK ROCKS’ which will gain three extra entries toward winning Rachel’s gift baskets.


And don’t miss Alchemy of Scrawl for her review contribution of both The Evil Within AND A Walk In The Snark! Remember to comment with the special phrase! 

Seriously, though! You have to check out this new anthology of horror stories! Rachel and the Indie Book Collective have gone out of their way to find the very best tales of terror from the very best indie authors to keep you up late at night wondering what that sound outside your window was, or if you read Amber Scott’s contribution, “Dirt Nap” by, you might just worry about closing your eyes, afraid of where you’ll wake up. 

On the other hand, if you are the kind of person who likes to sleep at night, you might try some of the other writers on the tour:

For a lighthearted adventure, try Toonoplis by Jeremy Rodden, a book filled with characters you’ll love to love.

If romance is your cup of tea, try Change of Heart by Jackie Chanel, a romance with drama and wit, adding a breath of fresh air to traditional themes of the romance genre.

I wish I had time and space to go into all the terrific books and writers in the Blog Tour De Force, but I’ve got to get back to work on my next book. I left my readers with a bit of a cliffhanger, and I’ve got a big choice to make on where to take the series next.

I’ll leave you with this: I hear Rachel has a BIG prize for one of her visitors, something really great like, I don’t know, maybe a way cool basket filled with Halloween goodies from Bath and Body Works.  Oh heck, she is giving out three. 

I bet if anyone guesses correctly (ouch) sorry, even attempts a guess, as to where she is (or was – remember, the tour started this past Monday), they’ll get a free copy of her #1 bestselling eBook A Walk in the Snark. (Her elbows are sharp).

Rachel wants me to remind you that every visitor who says these words in their comment: ‘SNARK ROCKS’ will gain three extra entries toward winning Rachel’s gift baskets. And don’t forget your email! She can’t send you any books without an email. 

And don’t forget: every commenter is entered into the drawing for a FREE KINDLE! That’s right. All twelve books loaded on to a Kindle. Hey, I want that.

Would I put words in Rachel’s mouth… err… on her blog? MAAAAYYYBBEEE. Her story doesn’t scare me, even though it’s called, “There Are No Monsters.” I shouldn’t have to worry too much about her getting some kind of revenge on me for this. 

Should I?
