New Plans for the New Year

Well the year is finally coming to an end. Let recap on everything that we've done this year:

 We've grown Shiver and Fears from a book series into a publishing company. As we have now created a new book series which has carried to new locations.

   Our monster friends of the year have made appearances to new fans all season long. We now have a fan club and will be connecting with them a lot more. (This is a starting process as we have never had a fan club and do not want to take full charge of it) 

 So far we've sent them all a message about our next event. Which we would tell you, but as a natural fan, we can't. Meanwhile, if you are a number one fan, then you should have a code that tells you about our next event. (Comment if you've lost it)

Shiver and Fears have been giving audiobooks to every friend who's birthday has come up. Well, everyone but Caden. He knows what he did! We don't appreciate behavior like that. Anyway, this is a new thing we do for birthdays, along with giving an ecard, which you can find on our site on the GAME tab.

This card is different, because it will exist for the whole year, unlike last year which lasted a few months. 

We have chatted with our web designer team, and we have decided to add a Magical Times tab and shut down our "online store" AGAIN! (Seriously, why do we keep doing this?)

A new coloring book has been created AND unlike the last Shiver and Fears coloring book, this one is public. As of now, Walmart hasn't posted the cover of the book, but we are keeping a watchful eye on their lazy team and are will be making sure they treat us with respect.

Lastly, our latest audiobook has still not been published to the public, BUT we are selling it. This Magical Times audiobook has been in waiting all year because of a disagreement on publishing and miscommunication. Hopefully our narrator has some time to speak with us.

But what is in store for 2026? Well like every year, a request for a new Shiver and Fears books has been made. So we're placing a goal for 2026. 10 books are to be published 5 Shiver and Fears, 5 Magical Times. We are hoping to reach that goal and be more productive.

Speaking of productive, our product partner, Animated Eclectics, has apparently shut down... We have given what seems to be our last Shiver and Fears pillow to Promethus. 

And I have no idea if our other products are still in store. 

In fact, since products haven't sold in 2025, we're closing them for 2026. Not even sure why we even made products, it didn't work when we had our own store.

Meanwhile, what can we look forward to in this adventure? I let you imagine that.

December News

Sometimes I sit and wonder what the focus of Creepsmas should be. I mean it's just an spoof of Christmas. I've always seen it as a chace to give presents to young "viewers" but how can they earn it? What's the point? How do I choose who gets a gift?

I think I've figured it out.

We are now the owners of The Scary Creepsmas Giveaway. This is only for #1 fans. And #1 fans are the fans who can read secret messages from Shiver and Fears. But how do we choose #1 fans?... THE DRAWING CONTEST! OF COURSE!! Anyone who enters the drawing contest, winner or loser can get a chance to be a number one fan. not quite sure how well this will go this year. I mean, we have done something like this before, but it didn't last long, we lost our fans after some time. What a bummer!

So what makes this different? Well, let me start off and say there were no secrets, but hardly anyone knew what Shiver and Fears had to offer. It was all about checking the websites, the social medias, the blogs.

No, no more. We inform about everything now. We don't depend on the internet to spread the word. We're starting small, but hopefully we can grow over time.

Now, what's going on now? The Scary Creepsmas Giveaway, and at this moment every number 1 fan has done their duty as a fan and spread the Christmas cheer to someone special. Now, here comes the best part. Because they've shared the gift of giving, they get a gift of their own. 

Now, as much as I would like to tell you what this gift is... I can't because just in case I have a number 1 fan reading this blog right now, I can't let them have the reveal win.

Now, what is coming after this Christmas? Well get this.. The Author Fest. Now the Author Feast will be in April, but to think. Registration starts now??? Wow! I always think there is a moment o peace with my work... but there never is.
