Today is the start of the second blog hop I'm participating in over the holidays! I love post-apocalyptic books and movies. I have a novella length story published in '2012: The Aftermath' from Pill Hill Press. I've got my rights back to that story now and have considered releasing it as a single, but I really love the premise and characters behind the story and think it would make a great full length novel, so for the moment I am sitting on it!
I was asked by one of the other authors in the tour to describe what the world looked like on the day the sun stopped shining. Here was my answer:
THE DAY THE SUN STOPPED SHINING AND THE HORROR BEGAN: ALL THE RIGHTEOUS DROPPED DEAD, TAKEN WITH A BLINDING WHITE LIGHT THAT SIGNALLED THE REVELATION. THOSE LEFT--THE ONES WHO DID NOT MAKE GOD'S CUT--REMAINED ON A SMOULDERING EARTH, SURROUNDED BY THE DEAD, WITH THE DEVIL REIGNING OVER THEM. (TAKEN FROM MY STORY, 'AFTER THE REVELATION.')
For my giveaway on the tour, I'm going to give away a whole heap of eBooks and a $10 Amazon gift voucher! I'm going to choose three winners--the first will win a $10 gift voucher and one of my books (your choice!). The second winner will win two of my books (your choice!) and the third will win one of my books (again - in case you didn't get the idea, which book will be of your choice).
So how do you enter?
One entry will be to leave me a comment, you can buy yourself a further entry by liking my facebook page, and another entry by tweeting about the contest. Please include @MarissaFarrar so I know that you've tweeted!
So, you can earn yourself three entries in total. Please let me know below how many and which ones you have done (and yes that does count as a comment!). I'll be randomly drawing the winners the day after the final day of the blog hop, which will be New Years Day!
Happy hopping everyone and good luck!
Winners will be drawn and posted after December 31, 2011

Good for you - buying the novella back and holding onto it; sounds like it has a destiny to fulfill :) Happy DTSSS Tour!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelley, luckily I didn't have to buy it back! I only signed rights for a year, so while they've still got rights to continue to publish the story, I can also work with it. Thanks for stopping by!
