Last Post of 2019

Today is the last do to get anything done before the "year of perfect vision" comes. Which means this is Shiver and Fears last blog of the year. So let's see what we're planning for 2020:

2.  first 5 Facebook friends will receive the birthday song and a free audiobook code
3. The annual Bookaversary party will be on this year
4. Shiver and Fears: No Body Park will have an audiobook and kindle published
5. OKC MLK parade will be including Shiver and Fears
6. Our goal is to sell 50 more audiobooks
7. Creeps will be making appearances on sites
8. Magical Times will start book 5 (book 4 will be published)
9. Shiver and Fears: The Burning Ghost is pending for publishing next
10. Shiver and Fears has a brand message

So look forward to a lot in 2020.

 So earlier this month I set an audition for the new audiobook, and within a few days, an artist name Diotae was ready to publish an audiobook. Now I've worked with a few narrators before. Some took months to finish a book. There are a few who STILL haven't finished a Shiver and Fears book. Diontae was the first audition to finish his work within a week! Here I am thinking the book wouldn't be ready until February, but a day before the new year celebration and it's already pending for publishing. 

It's a sure thing that Diontae will be reading more of my audiobooks. Meanwhile, my illustrator, Randon is slow in progress but is still drawing for Shiver and Fears and Magical Times. Right now he is working on a project of the side drawing action shots of Creeps, Shiver and Fears mascot.

Why does Shiver and Fear have a mascot? Because just like Lucky Charms or Cheerios or even Energized Batteries they all include an icon. Shiver and Fears should have an icon, there's already a logo and a branding message. And it seems to be working, But for those of you who don't know: 

 Meet Creeps!

Happy New Year!

Christmas ADVENTURE

 Merry Christmas!!

I spent the last week and day (8 days people) on a boat traveling the Atlantic Ocean to 2 virgin islands and Nassau in the Bahamas. You won't believe what I've seen in these places. 

 multiple trees dedicated to famous Christmas movies (I don't know this one, but-

 this one represents The Grinch

 This one was for Home Alone

We also walked around and found some unique animals. It's funny how they don't really fear people as much as they do here is the United States.Can you find the Igina in this photo? I know it's hard to see, but it is there... It's pretty big too.

 

 

 I even saw the Grinch, I didn't think the famous Grinch would be added only because do you want your presents stolen by a green creature?

 There were tons of gift shops with dozens of things to buy. I bought a few, but even though I agreed to myself I'd only get a few things there were still a dozen more things I wanted to get as well.

I even made a few friends. If they are reading this I just want to state I saw you guys on the other side of the street and tried to call you, but because I was with a group (and we were in a hurry) I couldn't chat with you guys. Plus I didn't think we'd see each other again, I mean it's a huge boat!! BTW: Rarely do I win at board games! Honestly!!!

I bought this shirt, i bet you don't know where. J/K When I saw it, it wasn't very interesting, so I decided to take it home and splash some color into it. I 'll be posting a video on YouTube with a thousand more pictures. Got the idea from a young youtuber himself explaining how he videos his cruises, so I decided it'll help get rid of the thousand photos, but still keep the memories.

You'll find a lot of interesting people on cruise boats, that is if you look for them. Otherwise you'll spend it with your group and chances are you'll miss out on some interesting games and activities. Not that I truly did. I mean I watch a musical about King Henry VIII six wives. They were the hottest girls on stage. I had to send them a letter, hope they got it. If any of those six girls are reading this blog, just know I fell head over heels for all six of you. XOX 😍😍😍😍😍😍 

I did wonder was this musical like a thing, like High School Musical, or Swan Lake, or was it like a play put together for cruise boats... hmmmm, I'll have to look into that. Either way those girls could never be out beat. They WERE the 6 wives.

Well hope your Christmas or Hanukkah, or Kwanza, or whatever holiday you're into just remember. You don't want to invite this guy:  

 

Christmas travels

At this moment now, I'm off traveling. All my duties are done: tennis practices, school teachings, and church actions. I'll be traveling out of state and going on another adventure like you wouldn't believe. Where am I going? You'll have to wait this Christmas.
The only down side to this winter adventure is that Shiver and Fears will be on vacation as well...

You know, as in "closed for the holidays"

 Shiver and Fear is going off the.. Well, let me say it like this. There will be no contests, no socal posts, nothing until after Christmas!

It's time to take a break, Christmas is one busy holiday month and I've done as much as I've possibly could before taking a trip.
Now have you tried those codes from the last blog? They are for a free audiobook. That's what we're giving away this year for Scary Creepsmas to All this year. If none of the codes work go to Shiverandfears.com and try a code there.
Scary Creepsmas, I'm out!

Creepsmas gifts!

Scary Creepsmas to all and to all a good Fright!!! What is that not a thing? Well, it's a thing for us, Shiver and Fears enjoys Creepsmas the same way a person enjoys Christmas. Just now we mailed 10 Creepsmas cards to our fans and included on that card is a keychain and free audiobook. It's part of our Creepsmas tradition.

!

Every year we give a Shiver and Fears gift to our fans. This year we're giving audiobooks. Here how it'll work this year.
Listed below are a dozen codes we are giving the first 12 fans for an audiobook of "Sibling Subtraction" Now you can only use one code, so whichever code you use that's the only one. Now since this is the season of giving, we'll offer you a chance to get another Shiver and Fears audiobook. All you need to do is comment "Scary Creepsmas!" and we'll send you back a code for another audiobook (we won't tell you which one though)
I do want to warn you also, the codes provided/given are not like gift cards. If you do not claim your audiobook by January we have the right to give it to someone else. Sorry, but understand, would you want to give someone a gift they never plan on using and let them keep it? We hope you enjoy your gift, now click here> Creepsmas gift
now pick a code:

 and remember, Scary Creepsmas!

The winner of "What's Your Story?"

   So if you haven't heard, hear it now. Shiver and Fears had started another contest! A title will be created by your first and last name and then naming a random street. The winning title is The Burning Ghost.
   Now you might be thinking if maybe I predicted this book would win and already had an idea, you'd be wrong, I was voting for The Masked Baby or even The Burning Baby. Now don't give me that 'you evil monster!', because you can't really judge a book by its title. And there were some that if were chosen, would be difficult to put together like, "The Cold Eye" or "The Floating Channel" and truth be told I really didn't want to do another ghost story, but it is what it is.
So what is The Burning Ghost about? (Like you wouldn't guess.) Well, I don't want it to be about a ghost that's on fire, that's WAY too obvious! So check out what I have here:

   Only the toughest of the tough can be entered The Night Club. It's located deep in a swamp on 21st Blvd. Ethan and his friends meet there every night to think of plans to scare the rest of the town. But things don't go as planned one night as they find their club burned down. Who could have done this? Ethan's annoying brother? A lightning strike? Or could it be the burning ghost?

   This story will be placed in the winter to give the story more suspense. Now the kid starring in the story will be the only realistic thing about this story. The other characters, his location, and his personal (although not too much) will be different. My partner, Randon Timberlake, will be the illustration of this masterpiece. You ready for another Shiver and Fears story? Hear more about it in 2020! 

Contest in November!
