Well, I just watched a YouTube video of the heavy metal band Gwar Trick-or-Treating in New Jersey last year...

For anybody that's keeping track, I'm a home-grown New Jerseyan, through and through.

Now, New Jersey gets a bad rap sometimes, but trust me, 98% of the bad stuff dispensed through the media about New Jersey is false anyway, although the taxes do suck...so it ain't cheap to live here.

And there are a lot of talented, and in some cases legendary, people who can wave the flag of the Garden State with pride...

Bruce Springsteen, of course, but also Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi (maybe) and, for us readers and writers, the great Harlan Coben.

What does this have to do with Halloween? Nothing. Except I just got back from taking my little ones Trick-or-Treating through our neighborhood...

Had a glass of wine once they were safe in bed...

Stumbled upon the Gwar video on Facebook...

And realized I hadn't posted here in a month.

You see, I self-published my first novel on Kindle in April of 2013...unfortunately, as of now, my book sales have stalled.

But I'm finishing up the next and looking forward to unleashing it upon the handful of loyal readers I've amassed (mild sarcasm intended).

Plus, I recently discovered the new Kindle Countdown Deals promo.

Unfortunately you can't use it if you've changed your books price within the last 30 days (which I have, like yesterday).

But I wonder if any of you have used it...

And if you've had success with it.

If you care to share, please let me know.

Happy Halloween.
