I always enjoyed writing Shiver and Fears books, but I have come to the conclusion that although many kids like to hear from Shiver and Fears and read the books, many parents are frowning upon these books.😦
I been writing for 4 years now, and I've seen Shiver and Fears books make great progress, but within those 4 years I've heard from adults; they don't like scary things, scary books are not holy, and they don't want to read kid books.
Now I was fine with that, because Shiver and Fears are for the kids anyway. But there was a post on facebook today that I read that had shown me that all adults are against me. The post was like making a successful business and someone telling everyone it's negative charm, which even though you have fans it can get them thinking 'you know what, they do have a point' and get them against you too.
After reading it, it made me think the only way to get to my target of readers (kids) is through parents. And if parents are constantly saying 'I don't want my kid reading scary books' and parents saying 'this isn't very christian' (because those are the kind I run in to) then there is really no point in writing a series of book that makes them say that.
So what does that mean for Shiver and Fears; no give-a-ways? no parties? will the website be deleted? *sigh* no, I've come way to far to throw it all away. For right now, it means 1 stop writing. I'm dropping the keyboard on Shiver and Fears and trying Magical Times.2. Shiver and Fears posts will end. So for those people on facebook who love to get the spotlight in Get Monsterfied or announcement for winners will end. 3 no more contests. so no more prizes, no more chances for your name/ picture to be posted. and 4 no more blog. This will be the last blog for not only this year (joke intended) but for the shut down for Shiver and Fears.
So here is what it leaves: the Bookaversary Party and audio books. So if you want an invitation understand, you don't need one. The party is always hosted at Harrison Park in Okc, ok in the Village on the Saturday before July 20 and audio books will always be given away in December as long as you email shiverandfears@gmail your choice and until we run out of codes to use for the give-a-way)
it may be depressing, but we'll see what the audience has to say about Magical ime and maybe, just maybe, Shiver and Fears will come back.
Learn the back story of Shiver and Fears as the author (that's me) explain what it's like writing these stories. There's more to Shiver and Fears than just a story in a book. Learn what else Shiver and Fears is up to, cause you just might find some interesting news...
