...At Your Local Library

Since the beginning of time Shiver and Fears were the book series that struggled to gain attention. They were the books only found online and cost way too much. We figured multiple ideas to get them selling and all though a few were marketing, these books were still in the shadow. 

That's right Shiver and Fears aren't just online anymore they are in the library as well. This site

> here < will send you straight to the site to check the books out wherever you are

For four years now Shiver and Fears has tried to make it easy to find Shiver and Fears but this can't get any easier! Soon Shiver and Fears will have 4 of our books in shelf. But if you want more ask you local library if they can add some more of your favorite stories!

Fan of the Week

This past month we've been titling our fans of the week. How do you become fan of the week? Well we nee to know that you're a fan, so show it to us. This is one of our fans, she proved it to us by giving the idea to raise money for the book signing, helped us find an illustrator, and always checking out our page on facebook.

So I know what your thinking, 'I like the blog, does that count?' Sorry to say, but no.

We want to see more from you all. You might not have a facebook, but i'm sure you have friends and family who do. Show us your a fan of Shiver and Fears with likes, photos, and #shiverandfears comment. Even sending an email could get you qualified.
Now before you start getting upset, I want you to know it's not all about facebook. Leaving us a review on one of the book sites, photos of you checking out a Shiver and Fears book, or even spreading the word about our books can get you to be fan of the week, but we have to see it and have to know about it.

Seems like a lot of work, I know. But we already have 5 fans. If you want to be one, you have to show us you're one yourself.

Buisness is Multiplying

     So I chatted with the libraries for 3 years and finally got my dream to come true! Well first let me explain my dream.
     Well my main dream was to become famous, when Shiver and Fears first started that dream was made to come true. But even with books selling online it wasn't enough to really call famous.
     As you know Shiver and Fears went from books, to kindles, to products, to audio books, but I knew making something isn't what makes you famous, it's how many people look at what you made and how it attracts them.
      Well being online doesn't get that much attention, but you know what does? Book stores, libraries, and schools. Well I'm happy to announce Shiver and Fears has made it into schools, entered in book stores, and now after four years are now heading into libraries! Don't believe me, ask a metropolitan library for Shiver and Fears books. You'll be surprised.
     Now it's time to spread the word. While I go to everyone I know and love you do the same. Go to the school librarian and ask for Shiver and Fears books, meanwhile I'll be asking if any more schools would like a donation from Shiver and Fears

Donation to Schools

Shiver and Fears book are making their way into elementary schools. Our first stop was Britton Elementary. They were glad to know an author, myself, was donating books to the school. Not only that, I was sure to autograph them as well. 

Where did these books come from? Well great question, The Bookaversary party was left with 10 books leftover. I was planning to sell them, but giving them away was a way better plan. I mean we did give one to a book store, and the YMCA. So after that donation, I planned another.

 Ridgeview Elementary was my school years ago, and if one elementary school accepted new books then I'm sure another would accept it too. Well my luck was true, not only were they accepting Shiver and Fears books, they were accepting my presents to introduce Shiver and Fears to the kids!

That gave me a brilliant idea: Let's donate Shiver and Fears to elementary schools! Maybe even make appearances at the schools. Right now it's just an idea, but if things go right Shiver and Fears can finally be where they're suppose to be... in the hands of children!

Shiver and Fears bookaversary party went well

The ever first Bookaversary in history has been set! Shiver and Fears had 23 guests and almost all of them left with an autographed book, a t-shirt, a water blaster, or candy. Shiver and Fears has raised $88 signing their books.

  Although 55 guests said they'd make it, we still hope they'll still post a hashtag message for Shiver and Fears this Wednesday.

Now you might be asking what did you miss, if you weren't there. Our photo man Jeremiah Childs was taking pictures for his partner Charlie O'Hara to edit and post on YouTube this Wednesday.

Our other helper Victoria was face painting, and she was happy when winning her new t-shirt.

Everyone is a winner at Shiver and Fears Bookaversary parties. Hope you can join us next year... I'm pretty sure there won't be any peaches in our cake! But it seems it didn't really matter to some people.

Finished Our Guest List

Shiver and Fears has collected all the RSVP'd guests. All 55 guests who make it to the anniversary party will place their name in the drawing box and get a chance to win 1 out of 7 water blasters. We'll hold it for last, why you may wonder? All seven water blaters will be set to take home, but until names are drawn they belong to everyone.

Yes, because we don't have enough for everyone to have, so fill it up with water, soak a friend, and give someone else a turn. After the party, if your name is called sure, you get to take it home and it's only up to you to let someone else use it till you're ready to go home with it.

That's a bummer, but you know, if you have one at home you want to bring; write your name on it, fill it with water, blast someone with it and share it with friends. Then afterwards take it home. We'll provide a load of water... Ice water! So yeah, watch out! If you come to this party not wanting to get wet, believe me, it's not possible. You'll want to be sure to wear the right clothes and not be all dressed all fancy.

What? No! The only thing you have to pay for is the autograph book... but it's free cost if you bring your own Shiver and Fears book to sign. No pay for the t-shirt, no pay for the food, drinks, water blasters, ANYTHING!  Just the book. And it only cost $7.

Why you should RSVP

   Now a days rsvp doesn't really matter. When you're giving an invitation you just show up to the party and have fun, or not show up and do your own thing. Shiver and Fears will NOT accept this! YOU HAVE TO RSVP!!
   Here is why: well our friend who is head of food, also known as h.o.f, wants a head count to bring enough food for everyone. But you see, I'd added to that!
   So here's the deal you don't want to rsvp, that's fine, but that just means your name won't be in the drawing for a water blaster. That means so RSVP no chances of taking home a water blaster. But lucky for you Shiver and Fears is giving away t-shirts... for $7 and there's only 4... and it's at random.
   Ok, ok so here's the deal you can win a water blaster IF you RSVP, you can win a shirt IF you buy a book, but if you don't RSVP and don't win a shirt, still be happy, you have an autographed Shiver and Fears book. But you probably want it free right? Well, you can. All you have to do is buy your own Shiver and Fears book... but you won't win a t-shirt...
   So you can win a water blaster If you RSVP, you can win a shirt IF you buy an autographed book, and you can get your autograph free IF you buy your own copy, but your chances of winning a t-shirt is out.
   Here's what I think you should do, RSVP by email or facebook or in person, spend $7 and get an autograph Shiver and Fears book (or buy your own to get it free) and have a splashing good time with the water balloons. You may get a t-shirt, you may not, you may get a water blaster, you may not, but with $7 you can get an autographed book for sure, even if you buy < your own copy!
