At the bookstore yesterday & my book wasn't on the shelf. Clearly, I've been banned! Cowards didn't even have the guts to tell me. Never fear, you can still order Shivering in Hell, and support (actual) banned books (& indie authors) this week and every week! #booksky #bannedbooks a.co/d/08HbBvvm
People are saying so many good things about Shivering in Hell there was no way I could get all of it on this graphic. But damned if it doesn't look like I tried!Banned Books Week Banner. Say that five times fast.

"The Painter" is one of my favorite stories I've written, because it's about the night I realized I found "the one." Might surprise you that the author of Shivering in Hell is a hopeless romantic, but it's true. powderbluepulp.substack.com/p/the-painter

Readers are raving about the new indie neo-noir, Shivering in Hell. So why not visit the seedy small town of Stinton, Kansas yourself, and see what all the buzz is about? The locals affectionately call it Stinkton, only there ain't that much affection involved. #fiction #noir #books a.co/d/05ugX9Ed
Words like "propulsive" and "cinematic" and "12 out of 10" dot the reviews praising Shivering in Hell in this graphic. In other words, you should definitely buy it and read it today!

Who knows, your review could be in my next Shivering in Hell graphic. Unless you trash it. That's your right, of course, but I probably won't use it. #booksky #crimefiction #noir #suspense #mystery

Writing a review is a hassle, but they really do make a difference in how a book is seen. So, if you've read Shivering in Hell, please consider leaving feedback on Amazon or Goodreads. A star rating is great, a few words is even better! #booksky a.co/d/062630Vf www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Hard to believe Shivering in Hell has been out for a month. Considering it launched with no fanfare at all, I'd say it's done pretty well so far. But we're only getting started. So if you haven't already got your copy, get on it and see what these readers are talking about! #booksky a.co/d/0hO3pmY8
This is, in fact, what all those readers I mentioned are talking about. To summarize, Shivering in Hell is really good and you should buy a copy right now!

Sexiest character in a crime fiction book? For me, it’s gotta be Honey from Up in Honey’s Room, but @joerlansdale.bsky.social's Vanilla Ride isn’t far behind. Maybe Dana from Shivering in Hell makes your list, but the only way to know for sure is to read the book. #booksky #noir a.co/d/0cAhXHtl
Don't get all hot and bothered, it's just more praise for Shivering in Hell, available wherever books are sold!

If you could strangle any character from a crime fiction novel, who would you choose? I lean toward Lilly Dillon from The Grifters. You can pick whoever you like, but you might consider Nelson from my debut novel, Shivering in Hell. Find out for sure by reading the book. #booksky a.co/d/0hyX8KXr
The usual hoopla for Shivering in Hell. You know the drill by now, but check it out and let me know how you feel about Deputy Nelson.

Every October, I like to get into the season, but I feel like I haven't made much headway in recent years. This year, I'm hoping to fix that by watching some new & classic flicks that have slipped through the cracks, & I just started reading King Sorrow. Recs welcome. #booksky #moviesky #horror
Hey look, I'm posting a book cover that isn't my own. It's King Sorrow by Joe Hill, but don't worry, you can still get my Shivering in Hell wherever books are sold.

This is by far my favorite book I’ve ever read. I have not had a book draw me in like this since middle school. There’s so many twists and turns. The only complaint I have is that I can’t rate it higher than 5 stars. 12/10 would recommend.More praise for Shivering in Hell. Is it the best book ever? Possibly, but the only way you'll know for sure is to get a copy and read it.

A bunch of positive reviews for Shivering in Hell, but you should buy it and see for yourself if it really is the greatest book ever. It probably is, so that means you can leave your own glowing review, which might end up on the next promotional graphic. Turns out the Lion King was right, there really is a circle of life.

OMG! I didn't think anyone else remembered Rax! Also funny you mention a smelly town. I grew up in Atchison,KS, which had a distillery. In my debut novel, I fictionalized it as Stinton, which the locals affectionately call Stinkton, only w/o the affection. Shameless self-promo: a.co/d/08ikynnG

An enjoyable journey that forces you to root for the least-bad guy, laugh when you probably shouldn't, and feel the feels despite how disappointing the character's decisions are. The world building of the small town feels genuine, pulled from reality in the worst ways possible. Truly fun to read.
