HORROR : NOT JUST AT HALLOWEEN


STORY SUITABLE FOR OVER 18'S

With Halloween around the corner, all things scary are popping up on social media, TV and in every shop. It's a time of year where dress up is popular and this year it seems the scary clown is making an impact.
But horror stories can cover any day any time of year and so on July 4th, Fairground Fred feeds his nasty appetite on an unsuspecting American community in Roll Up, Roll Up!

Want to know more?

If you were not afraid of clowns before, this might just change your mind.

For the Halloween holidays, treat yourself to this harrowing short story, available through the below links. Both eBook and paperback formats available.

STORY BLURB 

We all have fun filled memories of times enjoyed on the Ferris wheel, the carousels, and eating candyfloss and winning teddies at the shooting range. But in Roll Up, Roll Up! there is no fun to be had. Old Annie and Whistling Bob do their best to warn the others to avoid the ghost train tunnels. Are they listened to or are the two friends only to be teased and laughed at? Read on and find out what happens when you don't listen to those who know best.  Visiting a fairground will no longer appeal to you, if you dare to read this tale.

COMPETITION TIME, DON'T MISS IT.

Inspired by my last post, All the way from Florida, I've decided to host a competition. I am giving away to two lucky people a signed copy, in paperback, of My Husband's Sin PLUS a writing set each. So you can write and share a letter with a loved one.
Nothing beats receiving a letter in the post, knowing someone took time out of their day to share their news with you.
In my novel, Lacey Taylor's life is changed by a letter she receives and her world crashes down. Later, she has to put pen to paper and realises the power of the pen is indeed mightier than the sword. In fact there are four letters in all that change the shape of Lacey's future path.
If the novel is not your preferred reading genre, why not enter anyway and gift it to some who will love receiving it and you gain favour too with them. Everyone wins with this competition!!

 SO HOW TO ENTER :

Answer the simple question that follows about my beautiful Ireland and its forty shades of green.

Ireland is also known as

The "                      " Isle 

    A : Ruby        B: Emerald      C: Diamond  

Send your answer by email to:  marytbrad@gmail.com 
Subject line titled Novel Competition. 

Closing date : SEPTEMBER 23RD 2016 MIDNIGHT.



BEST OF LUCK AND THANK YOU FOR ENTERING

All the way from Florida

Holiday over, I returned home a tad pensive but relaxed. A week spent Internet free with my son and daughter-in-law. Chats, meals out, walks (with crutches), ahh bliss.
Once home, I dived into the post that awaited me. What a lovely surprise when I opened a package all the way from Florida, USA. It was the book I won on Facebook group, The Review Blog Page. 

The novel is Twilight of Memory by author, Julia Faye Smith, I was so excited and happy to receive it. Julia also included a lovely note with her book. Thank you so much, Julia, for posting it to me, I know it cost a pretty penny to do so.
I am looking forward to reading this, so early to bed for me and snuggle down with my prize.

If you would like to purchase your own copy of Twilight of Memory, follow the below link.
