Hey Gang,
I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself... it's long overdue since I joined back in August of this year at the Taylor Town Comic Con.
My name is Jeff, but in the world of horror fiction I'm known as Clive Carpenter. I have 2 books out right now:
1) a collection of horror stories called "Brian Matter" (which will soon be followed by a larger collection, "Brain Matter 2: Splatter Effect", and
2) my latest book, a gritty horror western about a gang of outlaws pursued by a bounty hunter and an army of zombie Indians, called "The Dead Reckoning" (which is adapted from a screenplay I wrote in 2006).
I am proud to be a new member of this group and I hope to eventually grow and learn more from you all about marketing and promoting my books. I'm beginning to get some exposure through the local comic cons I've been attending lately so I know that's helping. I attended the Monroe Comic Con earlier this month and had about a dozen people come to my table and buy "The Dead Reckoning" who already owned a copy of "Brain Matter" and enjoyed it so much they couldn't wait to get my latest book. That was really cool and encouraging.
I've been writing since I was about 12, or so (I'll be 43 this month), but, aside from being an author, I am also an artist, game creator and an award winning filmmaker. My first movie was a 26 minute black and white ghost story called "The Shed", about a couple who buys a house and discover that the shed in the backyard is haunted, was based on a short story I wrote when I was in high school.
Anyway, enough about me, I wanted to give all of our members here a chance to get a feel for what I write, so if you go to my website www.authorofhorror.com and go to the Reviewer's Copies page you can download and read "Brain Matter" and "The Dead Reckoning". The password for the page is clive2015
After you read them, please go to the Reviews page and leave a nice little word or two.
Thanks!
