Countdown to Halloween: Tim McWhorter

You know that moment in a horror movie when everything starts coming together and the climax looms? Well we're quickly approaching that point in the countdown.  Imagine that, it's now day 26, with but 4 more to go before that fateful night. And who do I find lurking in the shadowy corners? None other than Tim McWhorter and his latest release Shadows Remain.

1987. Broken Tree, MN. On a warm autumn night, a scream erupts from the old cemetery, shattering the innocence of three young boys and sending a family fleeing from a once-quiet small town. Now, twenty-five years later and with his wife and young son in tow, Adam Bishop has returned to the town his parents swept him away from after that fateful night. He is confident that what happened in the past will stay there. But, sometimes the years do little to diminish the shadows cast by tragedies we think we’ve left behind. And the old shadows are simply waiting for our return. So when his son comes home from school talking about the ghost of a boy who resides in the very cemetery where the unspeakable tragedy took place, Adam finds that he can’t leave well enough alone. Soon Adam discovers that, although you can indeed go home again, it’s not always a good idea...

There is very little to be found online about our latest guest. But I did manage to locate a very brief bio at his blog Never is a Myth.

I'm a struggling writer who sometimes does more struggling than writing. I started late in the game, but I am now determined to be who I was supposed to be until the clock hits 0:00. I enjoy reading, sports, spending time with my family and dreaming about sunshine.

Don't forget, the 2013 Coffin Hop is still very much alive and kicking.
As part of the Coffin Hop I will be giving away one copy of the Coffin Hop anthology:
Death by Drive In  

In addition to the above prize, over half of the authors who have been featured during my Halloween countdown, have agreed to help me create a very special prize package for one lucky winner.  A library filled with the following ebooks.

Countdown to Halloween: Coffin Hop 2013

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for an important announcement. The 2013 Coffin Hop has officially begun. What is the Coffin Hop? You might be wondering. Well I'm glad you asked.

COFFIN HOP is the annual online Horror creator event, geared towards gaining exposure for indie horror and genre authors and artists, while increasing interaction with fans and readers.

COFFIN HOP runs October 24-31 at WWW.COFFINHOP.COM and regularly features more than 200 artists and authors, partying it up, bringing the treats and the tricks to an online audience of thousands. Practically every participant will be hosting a giveaway so take the time to visit each site and enter for your chance to win some great prizes.

2013 also sees the release of DEATH BY DRIVE-IN, a collection of stories from some of the best authors out there, as well as art from the legendary Nik Seizure, a special collectors edition of Robot Lincoln & Zombie Jackson, and an introduction by author, B-movie expert and cult filmmaker Scott S. Phillips. All profits to benefit LitWorld and their excellent children's literacy programs.

Okay, I cheated. I copy and pasted the info above.

Each author, or publisher, will forward the appropriate file to the winners email address.


HOW DO I WIN?

I'm so glad you asked.
Winning is easy. Leave a comment on this post listing your Facebook and Twitter handles. Post on Facebook about the coffin hop linking to this blog, or the Coffin hop site and use the hash tag #coffinhopRS. Tweet about the Coffin Hop using the same hash tag. For every FB post and tweet your name will be added to the drawing. So if you post five times and tweet five times using the hash tags #coffinhopRS your name will be entered into the drawing ten times, increasing your odds of winning.

I will keep track of the tweets and posts, assigning each one a number related to the order in which they appear. At the end of the hop I will generate a random number and the person whose name is next to that number will be the winner.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I will be updating this post as needed.

Don't forget to visit the other participating sites to enter their contests as well. The links for each is at the bottom of this page.
