I am thrilled to reveal the cover for my first eBook short story collection.
The blurb:
Nine dark fiction stories that may just give you nightmares.
A man lives to regret Passing Time. A father will do
anything to save his son in Expiration Date. An author finds out her
worst nightmare is back in The Devil’s Song. A woman gets more than the
claim fee when she takes out vampire insurance in Luna Black.
In Dining in Hell, the Death Valley Diner becomes the
wrong place to stop.
A serial killer wants to add another file to his collection
in The Vegas Screamer. In Eating Mr. Bone, an undertaker could
meet an unfortunate end. A con man meets his first ghost in Land of the Free.
And will truth be set free in The Letter?
Publication date: February 11th, 2013
A massive thank you to all the bloggers taking part in my cover reveal, and especially to my cover designer, Ida Jansson - I couldn't do this without all of your help. Please call back on Wednesday, when Write 1 Sub 1 co-founder Milo James Fowler will be my Speculative Fiction Writer guest. Then on Friday, I will be interviewing the super-talented Ida.
Very excited for you, Ellie! All set to reveal your cover tomorrow morning.
