Remembering Emmy -- a short horror story

cromag · 06-15-2014, 03:17 AM

I've just released a new short horror story, Remembering Emmy, at Smashwords.

Quote:

Emmy was a happy four year old girl. But she was lonely, sometimes, growing up on an isolated farm. Most days there was no else around, except for mom and dad. And, sometimes, a hiker on the trail across the field. Fortunately, she had Jack, her dog, a huge black and tan Rottweiler. He was the best friend a little girl could ever have. Jack would never let anything happen to Emmy.

Never.

A short story about a little girl and her dog. And something that came out of the woods.

And, maybe, a reminder not to litter while hiking on a lonely nature trail.

It's priced at 99 cents (US), but it's free with coupon code WU88G until July 14. As always, reviews are welcome! And, Thanks!

The original coupon code has expired, but Remembering Emmy is part of Smashwords' July promotion. Use code "SW100" to download it for free. The code expires July 31st.

Enjoy!

(And please note -- the "cover" that comes with the download has the title spelled correctly! I don't know how I managed to upload the wrong one here!

Got it. Thanks Cromag.

Thanks, crich70! I hope you like it!

Antoinekamel · 08-18-2014, 10:30 PM

No more codes?

cromag · 08-18-2014, 11:00 PM

Hey! It was free for more than a month!

(But you could buy it to read on a coffee break -- and it'll still probably be cheaper than the coffee!

)

I don't visit every section often, came across just now, and got 2 of your books already! I'll be buying soon the Remembering "Emmie" (haha), the sample striked me. (I just have to enter the buying data etc. in Smashwords...)

Thanks! And I hope you enjoy it!

A little girl, her big dog, an isolated farm, and something from the woods. Happy Halloween!

I suppose this could also be a bedtime story ...

... if you'd had a tough weekend
... and didn't mind a potential visit from the state Division of Family Services.

And, after you've left the kids' room, stop in the hall, and let out a mournful howl.

(Only kidding! I would not recommend this as a bedtime story! But ... maybe around a campfire ...)

Free for the month of July at Smashwords with coupon code SW100.

It's summer -- in Maine, anyway. Life on the farm is busy, there are hikers on the trail, and something in the woods is hungry. It eats ... grows ... and, most importantly, remembers.

Have you decided what the name of your book will be?

(Hint: See post #1.)

cromag · 07-04-2015, 12:41 AM

I decided on "Y" but it was a tough call!

The right title can be crucial to an ebook's success!

Unfortunately, the cover title doesn't reflect that!

cromag · 07-04-2015, 08:17 AM

Ahh! The one in the first post? I was "gun shy" about trying to change that, possibly screwing it up, and running afoul of the board's guidelines. I can try giving it a shot later this afternoon.
