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!

What kind of story would Shiver and Fears put you in? Would there be ghosts? Aliens? Maybe something unique like a haunted star or a masked baby! Whatever your story is, we want to know. Send us a comment or email of your story title, if it’s good enough, you could star in a book that will be sent to Barnes and Noble's to be shelved in the store. Just remember these rules:

·      Street name doesn’t HAVE to be where YOU live, it could be imaginary, a familiar area, or made up.

·      Story isn’t guaranteed to be shelved  but will be sent to Barnes and Nobles stores when published

·      No titles will be accepted after the due date of Nov 19. Titles can be entered any time before then.

·      Do Not enter other people into the competition, we want YOUR story. If the story title doesn’t match the entries name, the title will NO be included.

Happy Birthday AJ

Wonder where this author spent his birthday this year? He spent it at the one place he's always wanted to go, and never could! 

Every year the state fair happens on the week of my birthday, butas always happening a week after my birthday. And even though it's stillpecialtrip, it's not special enough going ON the day you were born. This year was different.

I took a few of my old friends, who brought friends of their own,togetherwe made this trip a party! Now what did we do there? Well one thing is for sure, we had to check out all these random foods. I mean they had fried gummy bears, who wouldn't want to try that?

We were checking out a few rides. We for sure had to go on the ferris wheel. I even got to see the Disney on Ice show., but being there I learned how they are able to keep everything in order, I mean 12.99 for a soda?! They are also selling cars and hottubs.

As an author there were a few fans who loved seeing me there. Hope they enjoy their picture. Meanwhile it's good to have a birthday celebration on your birthday, it just makes it more special!
