Upcoming Horror events/ guest bloggers

Here are some Horror related events that will be happening.  If anyone out there goes to any of these events and they want to write up a guest blog/review about it let me know.  I wont be able to attend these events but would love to hear about and share with readers the experience. Or if you attend one that is not listed here that would be fine for a guest blog as well.

TromaDance is the first film festival wholeheartedly devoted to filmmakers and fans. Unlike every other film festival, TromaDance does not charge filmmakers to submit their films. Entrance to all screenings is free and open to the public. Also, there are no VIP reservations or preferential treatment regarding films, panels, or parties of any kind given. The organizers of TromaDance believe films are meant to be seen, especially when it comes to new filmmakers. Art - in all its forms - is for the people! The TromaDance Film Festival Committee is now accepting submissions for TromaDance 2011! The deadline for submissions is February 11, 2011.

First Kindle book

Ok so I have decided to try the Kindle route and see how it goes.  My first Kindle book Twisted Fiction 6 Tales of Horror, a collection of six short stories is available for purchase at the price of $1.99 at the link below. I figured I'd give it a whirl and see what happens.  I just uploaded an edited version so it will be 24 hours from the time that I post this and it will be available.

The stories include a tale of a woman who is abducted by a pair of mysterious night people.  A werewolf hunter who faces a cunning opponent.  There are Demons Psychos and more.  For those who purchase this, I truly hope you enjoy the book.
