So I have a super awesome giveaway for you guys! I’ve got three (3) 18x24 signed cover posters for my book “Winterset Hollow” that’s being released two (2) months from today! Ack!

I’ve been screaming/crying/throwing up about it for weeks now! Which is so much fun! And not to put too fine a point on it, but preorders are so so important to a book’s success, and on a completely unrelate note, I love each and every one of you so so much 👉👈

So if you’re thinking about picking up a copy when it gets released, why not preorder it now? That way you’ll almost certainly forget all about it and then BOOM you’ve got a nice little surprise waiting for you on October 6th! What could possibly go wrong?

Now, you don’t need to order a copy to enter this super awesome giveaway, but you DO need to sit through this short timeshare sales presentation first. So, what’s this book even about? Have people read it? What’s with the rabbit? Did they enjoy it? Well…

A few years ago, I self-published a scrappy, weird, twisty little story with a bunny on the cover because the industry just couldn’t figure out what to do with it. Well, I guess they finally figured it out, because a fancy big-city publisher (hi, Hachette) is releasing it in October!

A.M. Shine, author of THE WATCHERS, called it “The rarest kind of masterpiece and one of the most original works of horror that I’ve ever read.”

Diana Gabaldon, Author of OUTLANDER, called it “Astonishingly powerful and multilayered! One of the most unusual things l’ve read in years!”

Indies Today called it “A symphonic masterpiece of literature! An exquisite blend of horror, suspense, and fantasy!”

My grandmother called it “That rabbit book you wrote”

My editor called it “The thing that finally convinced me to use my vacation days”

Talking rabbits everywhere called it “Another baseless exploitation of our culture from another sad human.”

And other people had words too!

But what’s it actually about? Great question!

Winterset Hollow follows a group of friends on a pilgrimage to the abandoned estate of the author of their favorite book, a timeless old story about a community of animals scrambling to save their yearly Barley Day feast.

But when they arrive to pay their respects to the book that changed their lives. They discover the story isn’t done with them yet, and that so much of what the world has always believed to be fiction, is actually fact. And that the history behind this book, and the man who wrote it, and even the characters on the pages, is far darker than they ever could have imagined.

Great stories live forever, but their readers don’t. And Barley Day just wouldn’t be Barley Day without a hunt.

And if you’ve already read “Winterset Hollow,” don’t worry! There’s something in this new edition JUST for you, because I’ve written the ENTIRE book-within-the-book, and it’s included as an addendum in this new version! That’s right! Not only do you get MY version of Winterset Hollow, but you get Addington’s version of Winterset Hollow too! That’s like TWO whole books! And what’s better than that?!

So if you’re thinking about picking up a copy, it would mean a lot to me if you’d consider preordering from your bookseller of choice! It’s available in paperback, E-book, and audio book too! Oh, and I thiiiiink it’s available as an ALC from LibroFM right now? So that’s cool! And if you’d like a handy-dandy link to make your life easier, well here you go…

Preorder Winterset Hollow Here!

Now, as for that timeshare, er, giveaway…just comment HOLLOW on this post, and next week I’ll pick three of you at random and send off your signed posters, and I’ll even personalize them if you want. And don’t worry if you’re not in the U.S., I’ll cover the shipping!

Love you guys. And thanks for everything. And Happy Barley Day!
