Accepting Submissions

http://www.samiesands.com/accepting-submissions.php

So it's about time for a new anthology, don't you think?

This one is all about Halloween - submit your classic or modern horror stories for consideration before September 30th to lockdown@writeme.com. 

As always, there is no word count or structured theme - I want you to be as creative as you like. My most successful anthologies to date have been the most varied ones! I will also consider poetry and artwork, if this is where your talents or creativity lies :)
The point of these anthologies is all about promotion, so there is no payment for the stories, but all of the royalties go back into advertising the book (blog tours, paid advertising, that sort of thing) to help get all our names out there. Plus you'll be given the chance to interview for my blogs (Wordpress, Tumblr, Blogger) about your other work, which is extra personalised promotion just for you.

If you are still interested, please email your story as a word document, plus an author bio. If your story is accepted, you will be sent a standard contract to sign and a PDF copy of the book to check over before it goes live - which it will do so in time for Halloween.
Good luck and I'm looking forward to all of the wonderful stories that are about to head my way!

Samie :)

Dark Prince by Christine Feehan

Carpathians are an immortal race of beings with animal instincts. Every Carpathian male is drawn to his life mate: a Carpathian or human female able to provide the light to his darkness. Without her, the beast within slowly consumes the man until turning vampire is the only option.'

Raven Whitney is a psychic who has used her gift to help the police track down a serial killer. Now she is determined to escape the glare of recent publicity for the peace and quiet of the Carpathian Mountains. Prince Mikhail Dubrinsky is the leader of his people but, as his ancient Carpathian race grows ever closer to extinction, he is close to giving in to the heavy weight of loneliness and despair. From the moment their minds touch, Raven and Mikhail form a connection. But there are those who incorrectly view all Carpathians as vampires, and are determined to give their extinction a helping hand.

Review: I'm a massive fan of Christine Feehan so couldn't wait to read this book and it's safe to say I was blown away. The book is sensual, exciting, violent and filled with elements you wont find in any other book. I do enjoy paranormal romance novels but I felt like this was much more than that. There was an added spark to it. Mikhail and Raven are amazing leads - their story is one that I think has much more to offer. Five stars!
