Win A Free Copy of ‘Soft From All The Blood’ by S R Jones!
214 years ago
We’ve been momentarily possessed by the spirit of fellow Canuck, Alex Trebek, and as such we’re feeling in a quiz show mood! Whaddaya mean, “he’s not dead”? Well, that’s just weird.
Ready for some (possibly) obscure mythological trivia? Alright, here goes!
In S R Jones’ horror story The Frozen (collected in Soft From All The Blood) the monstrous presence encountered by the narrator at a remote northern lake is referenced as “the father” of what supernatural creature?
Hints: the creature is of Algonquin First Nations origin, and has appeared in numerous macabré tales of the wild North throughout the 20th century.
The first person to comment below with the correct answer will win a free copy of Soft From All The Blood in the e-reader format of their choosing! And if you can also correctly guess the author of the first published story featuring the mystery creature, there’s a mystery bonus prize available.
Sound easy? Think you’ve got it? Ooh, the bonus story question, too, eh? Careful, that bonus question is tricky. Contest closes the moment we have a winner!
‘Soft From All The Blood’ FREE PROMO MAY 3 – 4
014 years ago
Well, S R Jones’ collection of spook stories was enrolled with KDPSelect when we initially published it back in mid-March, and we’ve yet to utilize the ‘5 Free Days’ promotional feature of that program, so (despite some misgivings on our and others part regarding the relative value of a free product ie. “you get what you pay for”), here goes…
SOFT FROM ALL THE BLOOD will be FREE TO DOWNLOAD HERE starting 12:01am on MAY 3 through to 11:59pm MAY 4! And yes, we know about the fuzzy temporal edges on the part of Amazon’s schedule-making robots. There will likely be some wiggle-room on either end. FYI: May 3 is Jones’ birthday, and folks, it’s a big one, with a zero in it… we thought some free promo boost-age for his book would be a nice present, and we’re hoping you can help us out with that.
We’ve let the concerned parties of social media and various news-y websites know. We have engaged in spammy behaviours recently on the twitter, and will likely continue along that path for the next week or so. We want you to know we feel bad about that, and hope you are alright with it; it can be tough starting out and the Martian Migraine Press audience is not yet huge. Your understanding is appreciated.
We have no particular goal for downloads in mind: “100 would be swell!” we think in our naiveté, and then we hear things along the lines of “10,000 is not an unreasonable amount for free download promos!” and our minds boggle. This is so unlike print, which is what we’re used to. Bogglin’ over here.
It’s the future. Best get used to it.
Again.
