Support for Indie Authors Presents: Night of the Living BOOK BLAST (A-WooOooOooo!!!)
Once again, it’s time for a
#SupportIndieAuthors sponsored Book Blast event!
This time around, your spook-tacular event coordinators bring you:
 |
Adorable illustrations brought to you by
SIA’s very own Featured Author of the Month, Melissa Jensen.

Although the name is spooky, there’s
going to be something for everyone. On Saturday, October 24th, we
will have dozens of authors offering scores of free books! As usual, in the
week leading up to the event, we’d like to tell you a little about our participants,
so we’ve devised this holiday themed mini-interview. Since there are so gosh
darned many of us, we’re going to do things a little differently this time
around. Instead of one very long list of authors, several bloggers will each
post a handful of interviews. Below you will find not only the talented authors
who I am hosting, but links to all of the other blogs, so make sure to click
though and meet all of our authors!
And of course, all of our books will be
listed on the official Book Blast website:
So don’t forget to mark your calendars
for Saturday, October 24th, and spread the word about this exciting
trick-free treat!
What is your
name?
Christina McMullen
What are the names and genres of the books you are offering?
The Eyes of The Sun, which is a sci-fantasy
hybrid with a unique spin on vampires, and Kind
of Like Life, which is a YA that also qualifies as a sci-fantasy hybrid,
but with a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits style twist.
Who will enjoy the books you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
Who will enjoy the books you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
While I deal with vampires, deranged doctors, and a few other
spooky style baddies, there is nothing that should scare the fraidy cats away.

Like
a few other people here, I grew up in the north, where Halloween was the
unofficial start to winter. Instead of pretty princess, I would be bulky princess. Well, in the third
grade, it was a rather cold year. In fact, I think it was snowing. I wanted to
be a pretty princess, not a bulky
princess. My mother wanted a child who wasn’t throwing a tantrum, so she came
up with a brilliant plan. She put an oversized pair of yellow footie pajamas
over my coat, painted rosy red cheeks and bright red lips, and threw a pink bow
in my hair. I was not a princess, but I was something better: Ms. Pacman.
Unfortunately,
no pictures were taken that year. Instead, here’s a blurry picture of me and my
siblings in a pumpkin patch and one where I zombified myself for last year's Going Green Launch.
I am the weird little peanut butter nougats that come in the
plain orange and black wax wrappers. Their weird looking, right? Not to mention
a little creepy. Not many people are willing to peel back that wrapper and take
a chance, but those who do might be in for a treat. Or they might be totally
grossed out. There’s not really much of an in between.

What is your name?
G.G. Atcheson
What is the name and genre of the book you are offering?
The Legacy: Fate. It's Urban Fantasy with a little bit of ScienceFiction.
Who will enjoy the book you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
It's not scary.
Tell us about your favorite, worst, most unique, or most embarrassing Halloween costume. Got a picture you can share with us?
There's not much to say, really. When I was a kid, year after year, my mother only ever made us but one costume. It was always the same. She'd take old bed sheets and cut holes for the eyes and the hands. Tie it all up around the waist and that's it. We were ghosts. She would put on the same disguise and go trick or treat with us. Since she barely reached five feet, people often mistook her for my older brother.
Life is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which seasonal treat are you?
I'd say I'm the old M&M. No matter what season it is, no matter what color I wear, I'm always sweet on the inside…Ok, that sounded a bit cheesy. Still…I'm an M&M because the truth is you can't stop at one. You'll need more. It's just how it is.

What is your name?
Well, my pen
name is A.E. Hellstorm. My legal name is a little more difficult to remember.
;-) Okay, here goes: Anna Eleonora Haglund Hellstrom.
What is the name and genre of the book you are
offering?
I’m offering In the Hands of the Unknown, which is a
book in a mixed genre: horror, crime and relationship drama with lots of
turning points and surprises.
Who will enjoy the book you are offering, spooky
fiends or fraidy cats?
Since I’m
definitely a crazy cat lady, I’ll go with the fraidy cats. ;-)
Tell us about your favorite, worst, most unique,
or most embarrassing Halloween costume. Got a picture you can share with us?
My ghost
serial-killer costume was pretty neat. (I’ve only been celebrating Halloween
for about eight years, since I grew up in Sweden where we dress up as witches
during Easter, but didn’t start celebrate Halloween until recently.)
Life is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which
seasonal treat are you?
I’m the tangy
mandarin orange, no doubt about it: sweet, but with a fresh note to it, and
totally unexpected in the candy bag.

What
is the name and genre of the book you are offering?
The
Toymaker, Fantasy and
science-fiction.
Who
will enjoy the book you are offering, spooky fiends or fraidy cats?
I would say both. It's not a scary book,
but it has a few mildly creepy elements.
Tell
us about your favorite, worst, most unique, or most embarrassing Halloween
costume. Got a picture you can share with us?
I once made a rather elaborate dragon
costume out of paper mache (sp?) and material in the hopes of winning a costume
contest. People kept thinking I was a dinosaur, and I didn't win the contest. I
was a little annoyed. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture. It was actually a
pretty costume.
Life
is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which seasonal treat are you?
Oh, that's a tough one. I keep
gravitating toward Milky Way (pun totally intended). You would think there
wouldn't be much to a Milky Way what with it only being caramel and nouget- no
peanuts, no wafers for crunchiness -, but once you give it a try you find
there's a lot more to it flavor-wise than you expected.

Most of my weird Halloween costume
moments stem from how freezing cold it gets in October, and I always had to
hide half my costume under a down jacket. One year I was an angel, and I ended
up wearing the wings and halo over the coat so I was this poofy, bulky angel
when I went door to door. No pictures that I'm aware of, sadly.
Life
is like a bag of Halloween candy. Which seasonal treat are you?
I suppose I'm like candy corn: enjoyable
in small doses, but too much of me and you'll make yourself sick.
