"Peter And The Substitute Teacher" Ch. 32 and 33

Chapter 32 - A Carpet Full Of Nightmares
Chapter 33 - Wading In

No, there's not a chapter missing. After some deliberation, I divided the former Chapter 29 into two chapters, 29 and 30. So 30 became 31, and here we are at 32 and 33.

And by the way, J.E. Taylor was kind enough to let me do a guest post on her blog at http://jetaylor75.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/manic-monday-with-darren-pillsbury/.

Go check it out if you'd like to know what a bad blind date said to me that made me start writing again after I'd given it all up.

And leave a comment on the piece! A testament to your presence, like footprints on the digital sands of teh internetz!

"Peter and the Crazies" Chapter 18 and 19

Chapters 18 & 19
"Into the darkness" & "Stank-caused insanity"

Hola, everyone!

First off, thank you to everyone who bought the ebooks yesterday. It was truly, truly appreciated - and quite effective.

I started off with a rank of around 250,000. I think Amazon's updates are probably 6 - 12 hours behind, because Thursday morning VAMPIRES peaked at around #4500, and in the low 30's for Kindle children's ebooks for "spine-tingling horror."

That's pretty amazing.

According to my Kindle publisher's reports (which may not be the final figures), there were 22 copies of VAMPIRES sold yesterday, and 15 each of WEREWOLVES and FRANKENSTEIN. And another 5 of VAMPIRES and 1 each of the others on Amazon.co.uk. Not bad!

I would especially like to thank everyone who pasted on Facebook and emailed their friends. You went the extra mile, and I really, really appreciate it.

A special shout-out has to go to MistyCat. If you haven't read his epic of the misery he went through in New Zealand to purchase the book - amidst earthquakes and repeated phone outages - it's stunning. Scroll down to his comment at the end of the page.

MC: For actions far above and beyond the call of duty, I hereby dub thee Sir MistyCat of the Order of Jax (What A Guy). You are the first Knight of the Secret Society, and entitled to all titles and privileges which this entails. (For instance, when referring to MistyCat, the correct honorific is to now add "What a guy" in parentheses after his name. Jax heartily approves.)

Long live Sir MistyCat! (What a guy!)

=====================

#1) For those of you who haven't bought the books, please do. It would be nice to not slip back to #250,000 overnight. And the longer I retain that #32 ranking in the children's horror section, the more exposure the book gets. So please buy the books!

#2) I would ask those of you who bought the book to submit a review to Amazon. I'll say more about that in tomorrow's post, like a quick primer on which stories (and plots) are in which books, but this would be almost as greatly appreciated as buying the book. Even a couple of sentences will do.

"Peter and the Crazies" Chapter 16 and 17

CHAPTERS 16 & 17
"A More Familiar Face" and "A Blood-Curdling Surprise"

IT'S HERE! THE BIG DAY IS HERE! GO OUT AND BUY THE BOOKS!

Important heads up! It turns out that in order to buy the Kindle ebook, you have to have a Kindle or download the app first, which you can do by clicking here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_ipad_mkt_lnd?docId=1000493771

As of 2:15PM Eastern Time (New York City time for my international readers):

VAMPIRES: #7139 in US Kindle with only 8 purchases made! And #46 in Kindle for Children's "Spine-Tingling Horror"!
WEREWOLVES: #17,389 in US Kindle with only 5 purchases made!
FRANKENSTEIN: #20,025 in US Kindle with only 4 purchases made!

And I don't even know what the UK Kindle rankings are! Quite possibly even higher!

The point is, you can bump up these books by THOUSANDS of ranking places with just one purchase!

Thanks to everybody who's bought the books so far! I really, truly appreciate it!

========================

1) Please buy the ebooks - you would really, REALLY be helping me out a lot. More than you know. And 50% of the profits go the charity www.SaveTheChildren.org.

Here are the links. Buy all three if you can, but if you can't, please buy VAMPIRES - it's only 99 cents.

2) Please post on Facebook or write an email to friends extolling the virtues of these fine, fine ebooks! If you want a boilerplate email to sent, just send this (and ask them to forward it):
=================

I've been following this writer Darren Pillsbury for a couple of years now as he blogged his books page by page. Now he's publishing them as ebooks on Kindle and Nook.

PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a bunch of stories about a kid who moves into his grandfather's house, and bad, baaaaaaaaaad things start to happen. It's similar to the HARRY POTTER books in that it has a kid battling a bunch of supernatural monsters.

On Wednesday, May 25th, the author is trying to get as many people as possible to buy his books, and he's donating 50% of his profits to www.SaveTheChildren.org for people who buy it then.

So check it out on the Kindle store or at BarnesAndNoble.com - it's only 99 cents (and $2.99 for each of the sequels, PETER AND THE WEREWOLVES and PETER AND THE FRANKENSTEIN).

The best part is, you don't have to own a Kindle or Nook to read it: you can download a free Kindle app here for your computer, Mac, iPad, iPhone, or cell phones. In fact, if you don't have a Kindle, you'll need to do this first to buy the ebook.

It's a really good story, you'd be helping a struggling author, and you're donating to charity.

Check it out - and please forward this on, if you don't mind!
