SIGN UP FOR SNEAK PEEKS OF MY NEXT BOOK + NEWSLETTER-ONLY UPDATES.

This is a very big day for me!

Welcome to my new website. I am so happy with it, and I have to give my dear friend Kyla Roma tons of props for doing such an amazing job. I was really concerned about communicating my vision to a designer, especially since I wasn’t entirely sure what my vision was.

Thankfully, Kyla is very skilled at reading between the lines, and from the very first version, I was thrilled. She totally nailed it! I hope you love it as much as I do.

But that’s not everything that’s new. If you click here, you will see my awesome book trailer! Created by Jarrod Tully and Drew Kozub of Storm the Castle Media, it’s a spooky sneak peek at my new novella, The Bear Who Wouldn’t Leave, which Samhain Horror will release as an eBook on May 5, 2015. In October, you’ll be able to purchase the full Childhood Fears Anthology as a trade paperback.

I had so much fun shooting the trailer. Working with Jarrod and Drew is always a blast, and it’s a thrill to introduce you to a very promising young actor, Ian Argue. Ian was a true professional who made our lives a lot easier. And he loves horror, which is a bonus! I’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the project, with a special shout out to Kim Sheldon, who lent us her home and her son for hours upon hours.

If you sign up for my newsletter, you’ll be able to read my novel Lost for free. I’m planning to publish the newsletter quarterly, unless there is really big news that requires a special edition. You can sign up without fear, because I’m never going to inundate you with crap or spam you with constant appeals to buy my book. I promise.

Thanks so much for all of your support and encouragement. Please let me know what you think of the site and trailer in a comment, and if you like what you see, please share, share, share!

Love you guys. xoxo

    Holli, this is gorgeous, incredible, awesome, creepy in a good way. Shoot, I’d need to be a writer to come up with enough adjectives. Congrats on your site launch, and on the trailer. It is all incredble.

    Congratulations, Holli! Your new website is GORGEOUS, gave me chills actually. I love its simplicity–and all the creepy things that the cracks suggest. 🙂

    I’m so excited about what the future has in store for you–and your readers–in 2015 and beyond.

      Thanks so much, Ev! I really love what Kyla did with the design. She got me right away. A lot of horror sites are scary, and not in a good way.

      It was awesome to see that Joel’s bio photos meshed with the new design so perfectly. Apparently cracks are a thing!

      I appreciate your kind words and support.

    Awesome book trailer. The growl at the end was particularly spooky. They did such a good job!

      Thanks, Stephanie! I think so too…I really love it.

      I also liked the growl…part bear, part monster, which is absolutely perfect for my book.
