A Collection of Areas

 We already disscussed about how Shiver and Fears is a big thing, and how my work may not be popular, but it is grabbing attention from people all over the place.I've chatted with Kyle Massey, Louie Crown, Issac Brown, and a few fans as well. Let me get to the point: So, my work has traveled to dozens of sites, and although I can't show you EVERY SINGLE ONE. I've highlight the main ones here: FLOWPAGE.

Which one was the most interesting to you? I will tell you, the most popular is the music on spotify! Everyone is loving the song On the Shelf! You tube is big too, there are not just songs, but vlogs, skits, and stories. My most favorite is Behance. If you check it out, you'll see why.

If you are an artist in books, music, or fashion, then you might want a flowpage too! To me, it's the easiest way to show all your work without a long list of links.

Sorry, I wanted to post this for you to see... What do you think? Scary, don't you think? You know they don't have a lot of monster shoe picture, not unless they are "cute" for kids. Here at Shiver and Fears, we don't want cute. We want fun scares! That doesn't include blood covered monsters eating babies. (No need to ask where that idea came from!) 

Anyway, another thing I want to inspire you to do is check out more blogs about these author's we met with. They are pretty fun, once you get to know them. And hey we just had a monster parade on instagram, check that out too, @shiverandfears

Illustration partner

Before I tell you some fun news let me make sure you know about what you alrweady know. My artist partner Randon Timberlake has re-illustrated a few book covers for Shiver and Fears. and he still is, but as time passes it might be time to work with another partner. So that's where this artwork comes in. If you haven't heard, Shiver and Fears got an upgrade with the book "Why I Don't Play Video Games" more gruesome huh? This was put together by Mei Wu and artist found on social media. We'll see how well this goes. Meantime, we're not sure if Random still wants to work with us. Who's artwork do you like more? Randon or Mei? Randon did his picture for the book "Puppet Family" Awkward don't you think? I think so for sure.

Meanwhile here is another fearing story to tell! We are monsterfying our fans early this year! Why, you may ask, here is what we're thinking: Starting in the month of October give us 10 days for entries, 20 days for votes, and 1 day to reveal winner. (broken up evenly) By starting in August, that's a whole month to enter in the contest, a month to chat with our judges and enough time to choose which monster is the best for the whole year!

 This is an example of one of our monster fans. This isn't really the guy who entered, but he sent a picture of someone, I guess his brother, and we made a monster out of him. That's the fun part of the contest, it doesn't have to be a portrait of yourself, it can even be a drawing! Just as long as we have a name behind it, you're in.

We are encouraging social media fans to send us a picture by DM, but for you blog readers, enter the contest by sending your picture to shiverandfears@gmail.com. Just remember to add your name so if you win we know who it belongs to.

That's all we have for now, but if we have any more news... well, you know how to find us!

Shiver and Fears

8th Bookaversary, Shiver and Fears

Shiver and Fears annual book anniversary is today! Wow, to think one book started all this! Back in 2012 The Haunted Cell Phone was just manuscript on a computer, but soon became an idea for everyone to read.

Now we have reached 32 horror fiction books in 8 wholes years. Over 150 audio books from this series has been sold and made around $300 doing it! About 7 teenage tv stars have made an appearance video in Shiver and Fears behave. 3 books reviewers have commented about the author and his books (me).

Shiver and Fears has made contact to 1584 people on Facebook and has a total of 277 likes on Facebook and 342 followers on Instagram. 

Now you gaze at this information and might be like "Don't sound so successful to me." But the truth is the fact that numbers do go up, and the fact that this series has traveled the globe to many english-speaking people, shows more than you think.

It's good to know the bookaversary still stands even with all this craziness going around. We'll be sure to check rating next year and compare how much has changed!

Happy Bookaversary!

Added on the Shelf

https://www.michaelmickeywilliamsjr.com/2020/06/09/featured-authors-2/ So for those of you in Facebook's group: Read It AJ Hard Collection ^this is the website you can find Shiver and Fears at. We chatted with a guy named Michael Williams Jr. and he collects book authors. He was kind enough to add "Something Strange About Greg" to his list of authors.

Why are we blogging about it? Well, it's strange, Facebook is denying postage with links! I don't know the full details, but apparently it's not ok to post this link to our group, weird huh? I didn't want to write a blog today, but it was the only way we could share the link.

Now I'm sure there's some kind of way to beat around this. Post it on the profile and share it to the group, post it on another social media, or just post it on the Shiver and Fears page. Yeah, maybe, but I like to get things done quickly.

An Author's Advantages

We've met a few new people last month. Of course there's Sehloho Rampai, our author of the month. One person I chatted with was

 Ethan Wacker. Funny thing was my niece loved watching 

Bizaardvark and one of her favorite characters were Bernie Shots. 

(She felt bad for his push-aside character on the show.) But after the show she

was worried about him with the entire quarantine issue. I told her I might be able to 

get a hold of him. "Ask him how he's doing?" she told me.

Now this was around the time I was writing my new book for Magical Times.

 As I started writing to him, my niece asked me about my story. I told her 

it was about magical twin brothers and their talking dog.

 "Do you think Ethan would like to be in your book?" she asked.

 I told her I wasn't sure, but I'd ask. Now, when I don't sell many copies of 

my work, but I do have a collection of fans (my niece and a few of her

 friends.) They were all excited to know if Ethan would like to guest star in 

my story. 

A day or two later Ethan messaged me back saying he would

 love to star in my book. Hopefully, I can get this book done soon, because

 I want Ethan to like it. Right now, you can catch a glimpse of the book

 at wattpad.com 

If you haven't heard already, Shiver and Fears had quit working with 

Lulu and is now looking for another print publishing company to work with.

 I know, I know. Shiver and Fears is putting a hold on publishing for 

now on as I said before, and we are. We're taking a break, while we look

 into some options. But right now Ethan can't wait to read the

 next Magical Times story. I bet you can't either.
