July 2022 - Skinwrapper by and with Stephen Kozeniewski

[Char]

We have a special treat for the month of July! Stephen Kozeniewskii will be joining us as we read his space/horror novella:

Skinwrapper

As a HUGE BONUS, he is providing everyone a FREE copy! How awesome is that?

Here's the download link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/798g3j...

You have the choice of mobi, epub or pdf.

I have chatted with Steve over the years here and there and not only is he a super nice guy, he's a great author.

Wow! That’s great of you Steve! That cover is worth a thousand screams and the synopsis sounds like an experience for sure! I’m gonna show it to my husband too, he loves this stuff. Thank you ahead of time. We are glad you’re here.

[Netanella]

This looks pretty cool! Thank you for the free download.

I must admit, when I read the blurb that stated the story is about space pirates who jack people's body parts, I was reminded of a scene from a Monty Python show:

Can we have your liver, then?

[Terry]

Wow! So awesome!

[Cassie]

Hi everyone! Thanks @Steve for doing this, highly appreciated :) I‘d love to join in and read the novella but unfortunately I can’t figure out where to download it. Can anyone help me out here?

[Char]

Stephen, would you care to tell us a little bit about yourself and how you came to start writing?

[Angela]

I am so excited to read this book! Thank you

Hey Johnny! I downloaded an app called Dropbox (it's free) to my tablet and was able to get it there after clicking on the link in Char's description at the top of this thread. Hope that helps!

[Amanda]

Thank you Steve! Can someone please explain how to download the book thank you in advance! :)

[Nick]

Thanks very much, Steve! This seems right up my alley so I'm excited to crack into it :D

You can also download the file you want - pdf, epub, mobi - directly to your device to read if you don't want to download the Dropbox app.

Hey, guys! Hopefully you have it all sorted, but you should be able to download it from the following link even without logging into Dropbox:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/798g3j...

However, if you run into any issues, just PM me or email skozeniewski at yahoo and let me know what format you'd like and I can email it to you directly. I don't want anyone to miss out over technical issues!

[Leigh]

Thanks for the question, Char! I am an Army vet who served in Iraq and I currently live in central Pennsylvania where I help run my lovely and talented girlfriend's balloon decor shop.

In my writing career I have been nominated once for an Indie Horror Book Award (for SKINWRAPPER, in fact!) and twice for a Splatterpunk Award (once in 2018 for THE HEMATOPHAGES, SKINWRAPPER's sequel, and this year for the short story "Sun Poison," fingers crossed!) But my proudest accomplishment is probably winning the World Horror Gross-Out Contest on two non-consecutive occasions. Jay Wilburn pretends like consecutive is more impressive, but it's not.

I've been writing for as long as I remember, so there's not much of a story there. I even remember what a typewriter is. ;)

[Char]

Ha! I learned to type on an old electric typewriter in high school. It wasn't meant to be, but it turned out to be the most helpful class I've ever taken!

Thank you for your service, Steve. Really, thank you. (He's neglecting to mention he received a medal, you guys.)

Was it a story that won the gross out contest? If so, where can I find it? (I've heard a lot about that contest on Brian Keene's podcast back in the day.)

[Josette]

This sounds like a good book!

[Michael]

Downloaded my copy yesterday. Thanks for your generosity, Stephen! Looking forward to the reading and discussions, comments here.

[Chesca]
