Oh! I've already read and reviewed it, but I'd like to take part in the discussion. Hello again, Jason! How are you?
Welcome! I've just read this, for the blog tour. Eeek! And there'll be a {eek!} Sequel, i understand?
Welcome, Jason. This is already on my to-read list so I will try to make it back here.
Hi Jason What Hides Within is wonderfully creepy :)
Hi Jason! Welcome! Thanks for joining us. :) What Hides Within sounds interesting! :D Looking forward to reading it. :)

Just returned from a convention in North Carolina and am getting ready for StokerCon in Rhode Island. Also, thank you for the review and all your book reviews - I enjoy reading them on Twitter!

I will be happy to discuss that... a little later in the month, lol. Thank you for reading and reviewing! I follow your reviews as well on here!

Always a pleasure to talk books with readers, whether mine or not. And for those who don't know me (and maybe I shouldn't volunteer this), but I will answer any question asked. Nothing is out of bounds (though I'm sure Goodreads might have some boundaries). So far the worst that has come out of the policy is an allegation of sexual activity with a panda bear, but I blame that on a language barrier.

but it's just a little harmless spider, lol

JaeRavenClaw wrote: "Oh, Jason, yay! I enjoyed Seeing Evil and at least I can handle the cover on this one lol."The cover is a little intense. Glad you liked Seeing Evil, because What Hides Within won't be the only book with a sequel this year...
So... now that I've gotten back to everyone, I promise to be more responsive here on out, lol. I will be posting this book for sale at 99 cents in a couple of days as a thank you to Horror Aficionados and all of you showing support.In the meantime, what's everyone reading? I'm tackling The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly. Keeping my interest so far.

Currently finishing Blister Had to put it down for a while because I wasn't sure where it was going, but I'm back to it and will hopefully finish today.

Well this is rather timely , one of my very favourite Authors and I need a new read. Im sure I cant ask my kind of questions here though ?

I'm working as a contributing editor for Corpus Press' upcoming Halloween collection, so I will definitely be producing more Halloween horror this year

Enjoyable, but no Dweller.

You know I wouldn't stop you. ;) But I don't know... does Goodreads jail people like Facebook, lol
Katy wrote: "I loved the The Book of Lost Things - and I'm looking forward to your book!"Thanks, Katy, and welcome. I have just met some dwarves in The Book of Lost Things - so far, I' enjoying it quite a bit. What Hides Within is, well, not the same kind of book.
Except maybe for that sordid retelling of Red Riding Hood... or, maybe not.

StokerCon will be at the Biltmore in Providence, March 1-4. I will be splitting time volunteering as a HWA member, spending time at the NEHW (New England Horror Writers) booth, going to panels, and moderating my own panel (Saturday at 11am). If you decide to stop in, do please come by and say hi!

I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, I almost went two years ago when it was in Las Vegas because, well, Las Vegas. Last year was CA, and I missed that, too. I figured I'd have no excuse to miss it this year since it's 8 minutes from where I live.
