All My Romance Offerings for Valentine’s Day

If you’re familiar with my writing, you might associate me with horror, but I do have work in the romance genre, too!

For Valentine’s Day, I’ve decided to give a general overview of my romance work, including a game we haven’t discussed before.

First, there’s the lone romance among my published stories. “A Special Present,” found in the Love Under the Mistletoe anthology, is a sweet romance about two of Santa’s elves who fall in love. However, I will point out that it’s one of my earliest published stories, so the writing may not be as polished as usual.

It might be my sole romance story for now, but I’ve been writing more romance lately, so that may change. (*anxiously watches the #KissPitch progress*)

Let’s move on to visual novels.

Ascendant Hearts came out last month, and it’s seen positive reviews so far. It’s a romantic comedy set in a fantasy world that parodies JRPG tropes, and there are three romance choices (as well as a non-romance ending).

Ascendant Hearts isn’t quite as “safe” as my elf story, although it’s still pretty tame unless you get the NSFW patch from the website. Even then, there are no H-scenes and the story remains the same.

Moving on, I wrote the script for a second galge/bishojo visual novel just released last week! My Strange Girlfriend lets you romance three girls afflicted by a strange curse that gives them animal characteristics. It’s a cute story, with some humorous moments as well as serious scenes.

I’m currently working on another visual novel with a similar style.

So there you have it: my current romance offerings for Valentine’s Day. Horror and romance by the same writer? It’s more likely than you think.

The Book at Dernier eBook is Now Available

When I published the reprint of The Book at Dernier back in September, I said the ebook version would be available shortly.

December isn’t as soon as I expected, but after overcoming some formatting difficulties, The Book at Dernier is now available for the Kindle!

Best of all, if you buy a print copy of The Book at Dernier from Amazon, you’ll be able to buy the ebook version for $0.99.

The beginning can also be read on Amazon as a free sample.

The Book at Dernier is a horror novella about a young man named Paul who visits a small town and uncovers a dark mystery about a string of horrifying murders, an enigmatic cult, and a book written in an indecipherable language.

If you’re familiar with my taste in horror, it’s probably not a surprise that this story has a Lovecraftian tone to it. Most of my horror is supernatural, but The Book at Dernier and It Came Back are the two that most reflect my Lovecraft inspirations.

Does that sound interesting to you? If so, head over to Amazon and take a look at the Kindle edition of The Book at Dernier.

Welcome back to another October’s worth of celebrating all things spooky! For its fifth year, we have new stories to look at, more horror games to discuss, and a new horror game giveaway!

I recently announced the reprint of my Lovecraft-inspired The Book at Dernier, available now in print from Amazon with an ebook version coming soon.

This year also saw the release of It Came Back my horror novelette (another story inspired by H.P. Lovecraft) published by The Book Smugglers this summer. It is available as an ebook.

Final Masquerade, which includes my horror story “The Artist,” has a fantastic new cover this year, and you can also pick up copies of “Sand” (in The Mad Scientist Journal) and “Rokurokubi” (in Wicked Words Quarterly).

And if you prefer something on the lighter end of the spectrum, my zombie comedy The Zombie Mishap, published by Griffin Publishers, is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

All of my stories available in print will be available at my book signings later this month, as well. You can find full information on all my stories here.

A Horrific Giveaway

Now, let’s move on to the giveaway! This year, I have a selection of horror games to give away, all Steam copies:

  • Dead Age
  • Lakeview Cabin Collection
  • Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location
  • Dead By Daylight

As with last year’s contest, this one isn’t random. Instead, it will be based on your participation in discussions on these blog posts. When October ends, I will tally the scores to determine the winner.

Rules

  • No purchase is necessary.
  • Only comments made between October 2, 2017 at 1:00 PM EST and November 1, 2017 at 12:00 AM EST will be counted.
  • Comments can be made on any post on this blog, not just Celebrating All Things Spooky posts.
  • 1 non-spam, non-anonymous comment = 1 point.
  • You must use an email address or website URL (or include another way of contacting you) in your comment so I can contact you if you win.
  • You must have at least 10 points at the end of the month to win.
  • The person with the most points will get their first pick of the four games. The person with the second most points will pick second, and so on, until all four games have been given out.
  • The winner will be contacted on November 2, 2017.

If you have any questions, let me know and I’ll clarify the rules. Enjoy your spooky October!
