Lots of news today...

First the August issue of Fictitious Magazine is ready to read. Stop by and enjoy some beautifully written short stories and poems.

The Goodreads giveaway starts today to win a signed copy of Tales From Imagination's Closet. Looks like there are already quite a few entries. :) I have a link to the right for those who want to enter =>

Update on The Peanut Buttor Tweatment! Got my files formatted for Createspace and waiting on a proof copy. I may publish through there instead of Lulu. I can sell the books at a cheaper price, which makes me happy. I am still working on Kindle or eReader formats when I can. I've spent my whole morning working on a terribly time consuming monster of a freelance assignment that I will never do again unless I am paid more for it. It just wasn't worth my time.

Sorry! Starting to rant!

This afternoon I plan to work on the stories for my next anthology of short stories, Stories to Wrap Your Mind Around. Look for it next March!

Happy Reading!

Working on Issue 3 of Fictitious Magazine

Wow! It's almost August already? I am working on the August issue and it should be live on Monday. I have archived all stories and poems from the May comedy issue. I am still taking submissions for the October horror/scary theme. Stories can be a mixture of comedy and scary or romance and horror-I like to read experimental and unusual genre combinations. Suprise me!

I am considering publishing The Peanut Buttor Tweatment on Smashwords. They offer publishing in all the e-reader formats, not just Kindle. Looking into this weekend! I've downloaded the formatting guidelines  and I'll see what I can do.

Don't forget, on Monday the Goodreads giveaway of Tales From Imagination's Closet begins. Feel free to enter--3 copies available!

Happy Reading!

The Peanut Buttor Tweatment is available now!

 Yes, it's true! The book is ready for release and available now on Lulu. I have a link to the right that takes you direclty the page where you can buy The Peanut Buttor Tweatment.  In the coming weeks it will also be availabe on Amazon as well.  I am still working on Kindle formatting. It is so much different than print format, so I will continue to learn and have it ready on Kindle soon.

Don't forget...the Goodreads giveaway to win a copy of Tales From Imagination's Closet starts on Monday, August 1st. Three signed copies available!

Happy Reading!

Giveaway Starts August 1st

I am giving away 3 signed copies of Tales From Imagination's Closet at Goodreads. Starting August 1st through the 31st you can enter.

If you haven't stopped by my website www.m-allman.com, you can stop in and enjoy some free reads. I will add two more stories this weekend.

I am still working on getting The Peanut Buttor Tweatment on Kindle. Formatting a book for an e-reader is quite different than regular formatting, so I am working on that, and hopefully-*fingers crossed*- I will finish it this weekend.

Happy Reading!

Stop by and read...

I have added four short stories to my site a www.m-allman.com. Click on 'Free Reads' There is short excerpt for each story and if decide you want continue reading just click 'read more.' I've post two children's stories-"Imagination Land" and "Sofa Monster" and two adult stories-"Metro Dome" and "Escape. " Stop by and read!

Happy Reading!

It might be August...

I am still working on The Peanut Buttor Tweatment, and I know I keep pushing the date the back, but I do believe it will be the first week of August before it is released. I have the front and back cover done and ordered the proof today, so as long as there are no formatting mistakes, I can have it ready in about a week. *fingers crossed* Below is the front and back covers:

Now, that I am free from doing school work, I have more time to work on projects, so next one should go a lot smoother.

I am getting acquainted with Kindle, so I can have it availabe there as well. Hopefully, this is a not a complicated process. I'll keep you posted.

Remember to visit my website on Monday for some free reads!

Happy Reading!
