News for the Bookaversary

It's been a busy month as Shiver and Fears prepares for the bookaversary now. Ideas have been exchanged and thoughts have been put together. Right now I'm still in the process of spreading the word by going to public areas and passing around fliers. Public schools have gotten the memo and books store have gotten the email. Is it enough? Not for Shiver and Fears. But one question I do tend to get is: what's going on at the bookaversary this year? Well one thing we are doing is taking book orders. This isn't like an ordinary book signing. Instead of coming to buy a book, you come to order it. Not sure if you want a Shiver and Fears book? We have QR codes given out for free, all we ask is for you to leave a review. And if you decide you want to try a real book, we can get you set up for an order, $10.

Another plan we have is our Young Writers  To-Be Club. These purple little books are for artists with a story to tell. We ask whoever enters the YWTB Club to turn in the book to have the story published with a 20 page story in hand. Always remember email for questions to shiverandfears@gmail.com.

We have products to sell such as mugs, books, and pens:

Pens: $2.50

Books $10.

Mugs $12 (still deciding)

We are also thinking of adding a contest for Shiver and Fears new product Chill Out Ice Cream. Blue vanilla Ice-Cream with white chips. That is a prize you will have to win, but you'll have to have your name drawn for that!

There willl also be a chance for you new fans to get a picture with Boo the Ghost sent to you and some more ideas. So come to the book signing at Nappy Roots Books on Saturday... and let us not forget the live action on the 20th...

 

Bookaversary of 2023

Now comes another year of Shiver and Fears as it makes it's 11th appearance for a bookaversary gathering.

This year Shiver and Fears is planning to host the book signing event at 

Literati Press Bookshop. At this moment right now we are chatting with the store owner about making plans there, But I ask that you stay tuned for more information, or just in case plans change. For if we can not host at the press bookshop, I will be hosting it at the Shiver and Fears headquarters.

My plan for this year is to have pens to sell for $2.50 (yep, the price went down!) 

At this time now I will be taking pre-orders for Shiver and Fears hand-crafted books copies. As of right now, only 3 books are available to choose from.

• The Skeleton Dinner
• Walking in My Shoes
• Don't Mock a Witch

These books only cost $10. Payment will be accepted at the signing. (Location still pending) Be sure to stay tune with me at social medias such as Instagram, and YouTube @Shiver and Fears. You can pay in cash or by cash App or PayPal.

I am also including a photo shoot with Boo the Ghost. No, there is not a photo area and Boo is NOT some guy in a costume. If you want to find out how to take a picture with Boo, you'll just have to show up and find out! Just know, Boo is a ghost, so you can't see him when you want to!

Something else I'm planning for the book event is a give-a-way for Shiver and Fears mugs. Maybe I'll sell them too, not quite sure yet.

 Be on the look out for any news about Shiver and Fears bookaversary!

What's Your Story? Picture's of the Mischievous Cousin By Royalle M

 My name is Mia. I'm 19 and have a cousin named Royalle. She is in the 4th grade. I thought she had school today,but she said there wasn't any school, I thought it was weird, but back to the story.

She was coming over one day as she just lives a few blocks away.

I heard a knock at the door, "Who is it?" I asked. "It's me, Royalle," 

"Come on in," I hollered. "It's nice to see you, now it's time to have some fun. Let's play tag."

"Ok," Royalle said. "Tag, you're it!"

FEW MINUTES LATER

"OMG, that was so much fun!"

"Yeah," Royalle agreed.

Royalle and I were laying on the green grass. My cousin got up, "Mia, I'm going to the bathroom,"

I got up too, "Ok, I'm going to get some water," I huffed.

IN THE BATHROOM

"Hmmm," Royalle  looked at the mirror. There were pictures of Ms. Cayton, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. AJ and Ms. Loomis. GO BACK TO SCHOOL! 

"Mia, what's with the pictures?" 

I strolled in, "Pictures? What pictures?" 

Royalle shoot her head, "Never mind, can you get me some water?"

"Ok?.. But I think your mom is on the phone." I replied.

Royalle seemed confused, "My mom, oh... uh ok. Hello Mom?

"Why are you not at school?" her mom muffled.

"I am! Bye!" Royalle replied. "Here's your phone, Mia."

I put the phone in my pocket, "What did she say?" I asked.

"Ummm...

There was a knock at the door.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"It's Royalle's mom!"

"Oh no!" Royalle whispered as she ran for it.

She kicked the door down and asked where Royalle was.

"She's in the room," I answered.

Royalle's mom opened the door and got her belt, "I'm going to whoop you back to Ohio!"

April News

 Gosh, I've had a occupied month lately. So not only is Shiver and Fears making its way to Enid this Saturday, but I have been doing a fun activity with a few fans this month. It's new because I never got to do things like this before. It's the Shiver and Fears golden egg hunt. Fans get a chance to win a prize from Shiver and Fears. This includes candy (traditional), Light up pens (new product), ebook codes, (free reading) and of course, the unlucky charm (Sorry no prize for you!)

Kids are going crazy trying to find Shiver and Fears eggs. 

We are now going on to round 2 with the egg search. This is because some students got a prank egg. Now although this doesn't mean next round the same kid will find that egg, BUT all the kids want is more. More eggs to find, more prizes to redeem, lucky for them this is going on for the whole month of April.

Now about Enid Author Fest. My idea for this event includes a similar activity. Pens will be for sale $4 but anyone will get a chance to choose an egg and check of they win a pen. This will also include a prank egg as well. Shive and Fears book of choice will be Sibling Subtraction. But are only providing a count of 8 books. (Budgets, you know?)

Lastly I want to let you know Shiver and Fears new book cannot be published until an illustrator can be found. Now, don't get me wrong, we have Cameron and Conner, but they have been busy with other line of work. So Shiver and Fears books are set on a private shelf publicly. (Yep, that was an oxymoron) You can catch the new book Here.

Anyway, hope you get to Chill Out this month, because there's more coming up soon.

Shiver and Fears Shopping Spree

 So just yesterday a kid asked about Shiver and Fears merch. Well, on my own time, I given away scarves, pencils, winter caps, and a puzzle.

Now a few years ago Shiver and Fears did have on online store set up, the problem was the purchases were too high AND the product weren't charming enough for the crowd. 

But now we do have a few places were Shiver and Fears merch can be found. If you ask these sites about Shiver and Fears merch, they will hook you up.

Do you want some apparel? Shirts, jackets, pants? Then Cam-Dazzle Design is the perfect place for you! You can click on their website or email them at camdazzledesigns@gmail.com. You can mention your request for Shiver and Fears clothes, and you can receive it in a week or so.

Would you like your bed to have a Shiver and Fears pillow? That can be given by Animated Eclectic email them at aebhgb@gmail.com for a pillow with Shiver and Fears monster of year on the front. Don't worry, it's a little vicious, but you can just flip it over. You'll receive that within the month.

Lastly, we have Elevated Growth with Shiver and Fears pins. These pins get passed out to Shiver and Fears super fans but can be bought by this amazing company. There are 2 pins to choose from. A "I CHILL OUT WITH SHIVER AND FEARS" and a "A DOLLY'S NIGHTMARE". Sounds interesting? Start clicking now!

As of now, I am still looking for merch customizers to team with Shiver and Fears to add a Shiver and Fears product to their collection. If you make something: a ring, shoes, cookies ANYTHING a juvenile or child would enjoy, please contact me. shiverandfears@gmail.com

Chill out and join the team.

Secret Shiver and Fears Code

What is up Shiver and Fears fans! Especially you Super fans! You can identify the first 10 super fans with their pins. (Provided by Animated Eclectic) {buy one here} 

I want to let more fans in on the secret! If you want to become a super fan of Shiver and Fears and solve this month's code located on the website, then here is your chance!

Shiver and Fears secret code <click that This video will explain to you how to solve secret messages I provide on YouTube and Shiverandfears.com.

If you can solve the practice code given in the video, then you can solve any code I throw at you, not to mention send me a message as well!

Are you a super fan yet? Do remember if you solve this code, you CAN'T tell anyone how you solved it or where you learned it from.

Why? 

Well, It helps our fans grow! Some fans might read this and decide it's not worth it, which means they miss out on contests made for super fans. And it helps point out who truly is following Shiver and Fears.

Can you imagine taking a friend to a Selena Gomez concert, but they never heard of her before? Then while on stage she picks your friend to be a backup dancer, just because she was dancing to a song, she/he never heard!

That should have been you!

I don't want that to happen. If I give out free books to my fans, I want it to be given to a person who checks the website monthly, watches Shiver and Fears videos, even has a few books on their shelf.

If you become a super fan, show me! Post a comment using the Shiver and Fears code. and I will write you back. Or at least try to.

here is some fan art. What do you think this is?
