Trevor Shane's Blog

I'm giving away pre-publication Net Galleys of my new book (The Memory Detective which I'm publishing under the name T.S. Nichols). If people liked Children of Paranoia and want to give the new book a read, shoot me a message and I'll try to get you a copy.

Best,
Trevor Shane

I will be in Boston this Saturday (October 22nd) reading from Children of Paranoia and signing some books. The event is being sponsored by The Columbia University Club of New England (CUCNE)but all are welcome (and there will be free appetizers!).

I'd love to see people there.

Here are the details:http://calendar.boston.com/cambridge-...

Thanks,

The blog A Life Bound by Books participates in a great Halloween celebration throughout the month of October. In honor of the holiday, they asked me if I could recount a true scary story for them. It didn’t take me long to decide the incident that I was going write about. I had to write about the first night that my mother let me and my older brother stay home alone and about the monster that paid us a visit while she was away. They also giving away a signed copy of the book.

I wrote a "7 Things I've Learned So Far" guest post for The Guide to Literary Agents part of Writer's Digest. I found The Guide to Literary Agents an invaluable tool in the process of getting Children of Paranoia published. If you are an aspiring writer, I urge you to check it out. Also, check out my contribution here: http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-b...

I created a list on Listopia here entitled Paranoia in Fiction (see here: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/13...) based on a guest blog post I did for Barnes & Noble (see here: http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t...). Not to be too presumptuous, I put my own book on the list. I'm really interested to see what other books people add to the list and how they would rank them. Please have at it.

Thanks

The Children of Paranoia Release Party at BookCourt in Brooklyn last night was amazing. I posted some pictures of the event on my website: http://childrenofparanoia.com/wordpre...

Thank you to everyone that made it out.

Though a huge fan of this publication, I never thought I'd be reviewed by a blog affiliated with Psychology Today. Anyway, here's a sample of this wonderful review:

"Fast moving and laced with constant tension... Children of Paranoia, the first installment of a planned trilogy, never flags, and kept this reader's attention rapt until its end."

In anticipation of Children of Paranoia's September 8th release, a few websites are hosting contests where they are giving away copies of the book (and more are soon to follow). I thought it would be handy to keep a list of the sites hosting giveaways here. If you haven't already won a copy, please visit these sites if you're interested:

I will add to the list as they grow.

Another nice Children of Paranoia review from The Mystery Gazette: http://themysterygazette.blogspot.com...

A few highlights:

‘[F]ans will enjoy this exciting twisting thriller while pondering who is good and evil.”

“The story line is fast-paced from the first kill to the final confrontation.”

“Trevor Shane provides an engaging thought provoking tale.”

It feels great when somebody both seems to really enjoy and really understand your work. A great review from the Saturday Evening Post:

"Shane’s work here is impressive. He certainly knows how to stage an action scene and how to ratchet up tension. If you’re in the market for an exciting, propulsive read... Children of Paranoia would make an excellent choice."
