BlogFest 2010 Giveaway + Book Release Party

BlogFest 2010 is a fabulous weekend of giveaways.  Giveaways begin Friday September 10th and end Sunday September 12th.  This event is hosted by A Journey of Books where you can find a listing of participating blogs giving away some fabulous prizes!

Here at From the Shadows, I will be giving away signed copies of From the Shadows, Shadows of Myth and Legend, and She Smells the Dead.  I am also including one XL 100% cotton "I Smell Dead People" t-shirt!

She Smells the Dead (Spirit Guide, book 1) by E.J. Stevens

It's the beginning of senior year and Yuki's psychic awareness of ghostly spirits is threatening to ruin her life. Her ability to sense spirits of the dead isn't glamorous like the ghost hunting on television.

SHE SMELLS THE DEAD.

The smell impressions are becoming stronger. Yuki is being visited in her dreams, and she suspects that her friend Calvin is involved in something strange. To make matters worse her crush on Garrett is going unrequited, Yuki's friend Emma is on a rampage against bee oppression, and Calvin Miller mysteriously disappears. Will Yuki be able to focus her powers in time to save the lost soul who is haunting her? Meanwhile, who will save Yuki from following the spirits into the light?

Shadows of Myth and Legend by E.J. Stevens

A collection of dark faerie tales inspired by folklore, myth and legend told in the haunting lyrical style of dark poet E.J. Stevens. 

From the Shadows by E.J. Stevens

From the Shadows is a collection of dark poetry. Stevens' work rekindles the great lyrical storytelling style of Edgar Allen Poe with a dark imagination influenced by such masters as Neil Gaiman and H. P. Lovecraft.

New Blogs for the New Year

Some of you may have noticed a few new links have been added to the sidebar recently.  In anticipation of the 2010 releases of my new poetry collections 'Shadows of Myth and Legend' and 'Gears, Steam & Absinthe Daydreams' I have created two new blogs of the same names. 
From the Shadows will remain my primary blog, however I will be posting release updates and more on the new blogs as work on both titles progresses.
