SANTA IS COMING! Lets Write him a Letter!!
I am doing a fun project for Christmas…it is called Dear Santa. I want you to write a Dear Santa letter from…a zombie, or a ghoul, or a vampire, or ghost, or Godzilla, or Jason etc. What would The Boogey Man ask Santa for? Send your letters to dlbrown@maydecemberpublications.com by December 20th 2012. All will be accepted and will be put into a free ebook for Christmas. If we get enough submissions I will make it into a paperback and will donate proceeds to feed the hungry. Hurry now, you can send as many in as you want. Get your neighbors to send them in, get THEIR neighbors to send one in. Let’s make this a fun project!

When Reid Blake opened his Renegade magic academy in Anthis, the city neighbouring Magic University, he knew it would cause conflict – but he didn’t realize it would result in an all-out war. After some of his opponents stooped to the dirtiest of tactics, Reid now finds himself in a life-or-death situation with only a trio of inexperienced youths and a couple of old friends to help him. Will they succeed in reaching the cure they need in time, one at the end of a path fraught with danger, or are the students and faculty of the magic academy doomed?
Check out our newest anthology – A Clockwork Orchard: Rivets & Rain. You can purchase it from Amazon HERE
Step inside the laboratory… Alternate realities where science and technology come alive has been the trademark of the genre known as steampunk. Tales of mechanical creatures and skies filled with airships sweep you up and take the reader to worlds that are just a bit different from our own…yet, somehow they seem strangely familiar. Steampunk is more than clockwork creatures and mad scientists. It is an elegant tale told with a deft touch by some of the most creative minds in fiction. Suspend your boundaries of belief and enter: A Clockwork Orchard.
Winter is coming…
The TOC for our Steampunk Anthology – A Clockworks Orchard: Rivets and Rain…Michael Seese, Never Mind The Nonsense, Here’s The Sex Truncheons – Paul Boulet, Skymanned City – Mark Jones, Running Out of Steam – Adam Millard, A Clockwork Orang(utan) – Dorothy Reede, A Demonstration of Loyalty – McAbee Gail, Sheriff Holt and the Purple Stagecoach Mystery – Bob Lock, Il Risorgimento – T Fox Dunham, Ragtime Ascension- Christopher Eger, The Assassins Assassin – and Jill Watts, Feast of Souls.

PICK UP A COPY OF “In The Arms of Nightmares” on Amazon..HERE
Behind the black and white snapshots of VE-Day celebrations and after the roar of the swinging trumpets dies down, a madman hunts his prey. Arthur Reilly hears jazz when he kills. Bebop is his sound of murder. He sees souls exit bodies and can speak to them. Louie Armstrong, the sparkling voice of God. Miles Davis is the blue-toned growl of the devil. After being visited by a murderous angel, Arthur is set on a path of destruction with one goal in mind: get out of town and go where passion birthed music and murder, the one place that will set his soul free: New Orleans, The City of the Dead. Until then, his life is a mess. His drinking is out of hand. Chloe, the dead French girl, continues to haunt him. Arthur’s mind is an abstract gallery of death and music—but where deviance reigns, his genius is awakened. However, as head chef at the best restaurant in town, it’s hard to keep out of the bright lights of high society—and it’s even harder to kill unnoticed.
How about First Time Dead 1 – 2 – and 3?

Looking at our 2011 schedule we have 2 more spots available for novel submissions. We may be able to add 1 or 2 more if time allows. Please send your queries to queries at maydecemberpublications dot com. If we like it we will ask for the first 50 pages. If we are still interested we will ask for the whole manuscript. When sending in your manuscript, please send a solid, clean manuscript with a well-thought out, well-researched and well-written story, presented in a package formatted to our specifications. If you do not have a story written to send in the full manuscript, don’t query until you do. There is nothing more frustrating than to ask for the full manuscript only to find it isn’t written yet

I am happy to say that Monstermatt’s Bad Monster Joke Book Vol 1 is now available at createspace https://www.createspace.com/3482967 and will soon be available on Amazon. It is early due to the hard work and diligence of both Matt and Kyle and a lot of work from my wife Denise but I think it turned out great. Check it out and get a few. Perfect bad jokes for all ages for all reasons – even if it is just to color some of the great drawings done by Kyle.
