Hello everyone! I’m back with another blog all about my writings and fun stuff like giveaways. So what’s been going on since the last blog, which was a week ago? And the answer is not a lot.

I actually had an awful virus over the past week. So I couldn’t do much of anything. But in my windows of feeling not quite so dead, I did dust off an old notebook and started writing a story. It has a young woman who inherits an estate from billionaire grandfather she never knew she had, a djinn, and it might be a murder mystery of some sort. It is a fun project so far. I hoping it will turn out to be something nice that I can publish and share with all of you in the future.

And then there is another thing that happened. This last week was the first Indie April give away. I gave away the kindle version of Rainy Day Hotel. And for this giveaway I used the powers of Twitter, Threads, Goodreads, and Substack combined to push this. And despite the terrible launch of this book, it did pretty well. For the first time, one of my works landed on an Amazon top ten list. It ranked number 7 in pulp thrillers, and that is amazing for me. None of my stuff ever ranked that high on Amazon. I also got a four-star review, which I am happy with. And I hope there are more positive reviews to come. Did I giveaway hundreds? No. But a modest number of people now have or will at some point read the story. And I call that a success. It went very well.

But what is next? Well this week, it the giveaway switching from scifi horror, to horror dark fantasy, featuring the walking dead, monstrous birds being worshipped as angels, an eternal winter, and teen who’s trying to set the world right again It’s called Once Upon a Time in Boston, and it will be free from April 10th to April 14th.

The world broke decades ago. An eternal winter has engulfed the Earth. The dead no longer pass on, becoming souls trapped in decaying bodies. Humanoid feathered creatures known as Ravens come to collect the souls to escort them to the mysterious council to move on to the afterlife. Many people have come to believe the Ravens are angels; doing God’s work until the cosmos are fixed.

Tai is a teenager who learns this is a lie. The Ravens are doing something nefarious with the souls, and those who die are not moving on after death. Angry and frustrated with the recent loss of a loved one, Tai does something rash. He decides he will try to stop the Ravens. He will try to fix the world and overthrow this mysterious council. But he’s not doing it alone. He has found the aid of a Raven who holds a grudge against the council as well.

And that’s all I really got for this week. Just another giveaway. Will this go as well as Rainy Day Hotel? Will another one of my novellas end up on a top ten list again? Who knows? Let’s just see what happens. I will be blogging again soon.

P.S. Thank you to any all of you who gave my work a chance last week. You have no idea how much I really do appreciate it!
