If anyone is interested, I’ll post a little excerpt from “As She Lay There Dying” next week.
Congratulations. It looks great. I already ordered my copies.
Thank you!
Brian,
I’m curious to know if CD has plans of putting the SHIVERS series in ebook format?
Thanks,
Mark
I believe the e-rights have been secured for the two most recent volumes, but I’d have to double-check the Shivers 6 contracts to be sure. So I’m sure eBooks will happen at some point down the road.
Exciting! I love the cover – keep me posted about the ebook format and I will be sure to buy a copy.
Brian, anytime Shivers comes out, it’s awesome. As you know, after a littlle bit of trouble, I was able to track down and buy the complete series from various groups on the internet. A person who loves horror would be a fool to pass on this exciting book! Way to go pal.
Yes, I would love to read an excerpt from “As She Lay There Dying”. The title is interesting.
Also looking forward to receiving the whole book.
Actually, in the long run, It might be nice to have eBooks of the “Shivers” series.
Thanks,
David A. Hale
Can’t wait for this and asking “If anyone is interested, I’ll post a little excerpt from ”As She Lay There Dying” next week.” is redundant lol Of course we’re interested. Bring it on please. I just moved and haven’t had internet for 2 days and feel like I’ve been on another planet. Hope I can still order Shivers though I would really like an eBook as well as a hard copy for my collection.
