Hiding in the Corner
Just a quick note for those wondering about the silence of the blogs. It’s not truly quiet, it’s just been hiding behind a microphone for a while.
All my normal snark and sassiness, my opinions and epiphanies, still happen—they’re just shared on the podcast rather than written out on the blog like the old days.
But here’s the thing. The decision has been made to stop doing the podcast. My time needs to be focused elsewhere. I will be doing one final episode this summer, after I get all caught up on the other demands on my list, and then it will be gone. Finished. Over.
You can still listen to all of the aforementioned snark and sassiness, as the episodes will remain online for a while. Check out the Buttercup of Doom on the podcast page of the menu here, and listen while you can…
I may or may not snark on the blog as I have in the past. I will most likely post mini writing101 podcasts on my patreon page. And of course, I’ll be writing. Which is what I should have been doing the whole time. But things are shiny and sometimes we have to investigate them for a while and see what happens. I did. But now this writer, is returning to her regularly scheduled pipedream.

Jenny Schultz wakes trapped in a pitch-black basement with no recollection of how she got there. With no outside stimuli, Jenny naturally turns inward and revisits her guilt-ridden past, desperate to figure out which wronged person would be angry enough, evil enough, to do this to her.
She must survive her own demons, and then time itself when she finds remnants of previous captives—a plate, a tooth, a bone. Scratched hashmarks in the stone walls around her, leave her to wonder what happens next.
What happens after six days?
Praised by both Jack Ketchum and Ed Lee… a first novel you can’t miss!
Hug-a-Horror-Writer… GIVEAWAY
It’s Hug-a-Horror-Writer Month!! Or at least that’s what I’ve been calling it… The Halloween season is a beautiful time for those who love all things dark and dreary, whether it’s a gore-fest of bloody exploding puppies, a quieter deeper creepier bent that crawls inside you and keeps you up at night, or a way to win a FREE BOOK just for giving a horror writer a hug!
tl;dr — Leave a review for a chance to WIN a FREE BOOK
The details: first, the book you can win. No one has the same TBR pile or even gets their fix in the same format, I get that. So the winner will get to choose not only WHICH book they would like to win among my titles, but which format they want (ebook, paperback, even audiobook in some cases). And all you have to do is share your thoughts on something you’ve already read!
So, how to enter to win? Easy! Leave a review and share it…
- Go to Amazon (this link will get you to all my books)
- Choose a book to review
- Give it some stars and a couple (or a lot) of words
- Share the book’s page on Facebook or Twitter (on the right side of the page you’ll see these icons
- Include “i just reviewed” in your sharing post
- Tag me in the post (@kelliowenauthor on facebook, @kelli_owen on twitter) or otherwise let me know you’ve done this (via tweet, fb, email, however)
- Your name goes in the hat once for each review
While you can (and should) continue to review beyond the drawing because it’s nice and authors really do appreciate it, I do have to set a date to award a winner… how about Monday, Nov 13? That gives you three week(end)s to formulate your thoughts and set them free in the world.
Go. Review. Win.
And thank you in advance for the hugs… H a p p y H a l l o w e e n ! !
Inside the Isolation Tank
When Rebecca Snow isn’t working on her own writing, she interviews other writers on her website. Here is one such interview, with me!
I discuss Jack Ketchum, Kealan Patrick Burke, Stone Temple Pilots, Queens of Dogtown, and answer some fun new questions that made me think… really think… about things I don’t normally think about! Check it out here.
Audiobook Update
In case you missed it, because I put it everyone across social media except the blog for some reason, there have been three more audiobooks finished… and yes, there are more to come! Click the covers for the individual pages and more info on each. Listen to Buttercup of Doom for discounts. Subscribe to my Amazon page for updates. And as always, like my author page on facebook for news about these and other fiction related news… for shenanigan, just follow my twitter!
Now on Audiobook
The first one is finally done and ready, with several more right on its heels… that’s right, you can now enjoy Buried Memories on audio. Prefer audio? Here you go! Haven’t read it yet because you don’t have time? Happy commute! Know someone who loves audiobooks and a good dark story? Buried Memories…
Hypnotized to quit smoking after his dad is diagnosed with lung cancer, Ben Danski begins to dream about a childhood he doesn’t remember. The dreams become more frequent. Vivid. Frightening.
Further hypnosis reveals events he doesn’t want to believe, but as Ben decides to ignore them, his past finds him. Details trigger more than Ben bargains for, as both distant and recent memories are unblocked, and change his life forever…
Now brought to you through the audio talents of Jason Jewett. Buried Memories, currently available on Payhip (for only $6.00 choose that one!), Amazon, Audible, and coming soon to other audio retailers. Happy listening!!
