Thanks for getting The Abandoned, but I feel I've got to warn you: it's an over-the-top horrorfest and has no socially redeeming value whatsoever. Not all my novels are like that. In fact, my best novels probably aren't. But The Abandoned was fun to write and from what I'm hearing back, horror readers have been having fun with it, too.
ReplyDeleteAt some point, send me your address, and I'll mail you a couple of the other ones, like The Hour Before Dark and Afterlife.
Thanks for grabbing it, though.

Eight years ago, I had every book I owned logged into a data base. Then I got behind in making entries...
ReplyDeleteI'm not looking forward to putting my books into a database once we've moved and unpacked, but unless I do, I'm going to keep ending up with multiple copies of the same book. And I'd rather spend my book budget on different books. lol
ReplyDeleteBooks with no socially redeeming value whatsoever are my cup of tea, Douglas. And a girl needs a good horrorfest now and then -- especially after being forced by her children to watch The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie on DVD.
ReplyDeleteIt was also rather cool to find it at my grocery store. I went over to grab the latest Dean Koontz pb, spotted The Abandoned on the rack next to it, and said to my daughter, "Hey, I know this guy" and bought your book instead.
Wowie. Wowie, wowie, wowie.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate you, but I sure wouldn't mind trading bookshelves with you... :grin:
LOL, PBW. my mom could give you a run for the money on books. She has three walls of floor to ceiling bookshelves packed with hardcovers. She buys pbs too, only she gives them all to me when she's done.
ReplyDeleteMy books are in alphabetical order. That's the most organization that I'm willing to do.
I finished SURVIVOR IN DEATH by JD Robb last night. It's one of the best of the series -- the last two were good, but not up to par. This was fabulous. Next up: SATURDAY by Ian McEwan.
