Giveaways!

I’ve got two great giveaways going on this week to wrap up my Bloodstone blog tour.

At Paranormal Haven, you can read about trick-or-treat night in my neighborhood (it’s the biggest night of the year!) and enter to win a signed book and this “wicked” mug filled with candy. This giveaway is international!

At The Bookish Brunette, I’m part of Team Zombie in the Trick or Treat for Books event, so I had to share my favorite tips for avoiding a zombie attack while trick-or-treating. The giveaway there (U.S. only) is for a signed book and a bottle of glittery, green-and-gold Zombie Zest nail polish.

Treats with no tricks–what better way to celebrate Halloween? See you there!

It’s summer. . .

. . . so how come you never see zombies at the beach? (Well, okay, except in this Zombie Beach Party video.) In today’s post at Dark Central Station, I share a few reasons why zombies avoid the beach.

Also, there’s a new interview with me at Ginger Nuts of Horror, in which we discuss upstate vs. downstate New York, cabbages, and the letter U. Check it out here!

Happy Summer!

Tina’s memoirs and giveaway at Paperback Dolls

Tina, Deadtown’s favorite zombie, is writing her memoirs. She may be only 18, but she’s been through a lot, getting zombified and learning about demon fighting and all.

As part of their Zombie Week celebration, Paperback Dolls have posted “Waking up Dead,“  an excerpt from Tina’s memoirs. Leave a comment describing a time you had a rude awakening, and you can win a prize pack including a signed book and a Zombie Girl Sex Kitten necklace. (Yes, you read that right. What can I say? Tina picked it out.)

ETA: I wrote this post kinda late last night and realized this morning that I wasn’t clear about how to enter the giveaway. Please go to Paperback Dolls (click the “Waking up Dead” link above) and leave your comment describing a rude awakening there. They’re running the contest and will pick the winner. Sorry for the confusion!

Tips for Trick-or-Treaters: How to Deal with a Zombie Attack

For my Tuesday post at Dark Central Station, I pulled up an old guest post I wrote last year on what to do if you get attacked by zombies while trick-or-treating.

Safety tips are always important, of course, but even more important is the chance to WIN A FREE BOOK! Read and comment on my DCS post, and you can win a signed copy or either Deadtown or Hellforged—your choice. (Just so you know: Deadtown is available now, but it’ll be several weeks before I get my copies of Hellforged.)

Tina’s back!

Tina, Deadtown’s favorite teenage zombie, is making a second appearance at vvb32 Reads. This time, she interviews me. Check it out here.

And if you haven’t yet read Deadtown, the September Zombies event is a great chance to win a copy. Details on the site.
