winslow sisters posted on november 10 2023 by maronovitz2015 my 5th novel is titled the winslow sisters it is the sequel to the sculptor though one does not need to read the first to enjoy the new

habit of blogging nor posting more than a pic or two i share on facebook every once in awhile when i see a cool rock and roll photo or one showing a country i d like to visit some day the reason for this is that deep down i want to mostly show only my stories and reviews i work hard on both and it seems to cheapen it a bit if i show my raw drafting i also want to avoid politics and self help posts though i appreciate those who craft either my life is interesting nowadays so i don t think it would hurt to mention a few things my 2021 horror collection dancing with tombstones sold pretty well and the same publisher cemetery dance has already agreed to publish my serial killer novel the winslow sisters january of 2024 i also published through night shade skyhorse the serial killer novel the sculptor which came out about a year ago i have written ten of the bio reviews and press releases for new signings at eclipse records over the year and i am writing a new horror collection untitled at the moment though i am considering a salute to urban legends and twisted campfire tales as this is also the title of one of the best stories so far i am up to 30 000 words aiming of course for 80 000 by the end of the summer i recently signed with a literary agent for a non horror book that was conceived from the other parts of my life teaching college and sports the title is the color of your fight game and we have begun shopping this to major publishers the quickie back cover synopsis is something to the effect of a college english professor lost his wife and nineteen year old son in a car accident seven years ago and he is hired to teach comp 101 to the entire women s softball team at the university of delaware he becomes a father figure to them as they fill the empty spaces of his life in this exciting sentimental sports drama the tagline i want to go with is the color is fire yet i need my agent to weigh in on this it is a wonderful strange adventure to be shopped to these huge publishing houses as compared to the horror specialty publishers like cemetery dance night shade skyhorse and hippocampus though these small market presses have been good to me i feel that the adventure is just beginning and i look forward to this part of the journey share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook like loading posted in uncategorized leave a comment the new novel the winslow sisters signed posted on july 28 2022 by maronovitz2015 i am happy to announce that my 5th novel titled the winslow sisters has been taken on by cemetery dance publications i just finished the work at the end of this past december 2021 it took a year and a month to write and without a doubt this is my best horror novel yet the winslow sisters is my third title with cemetery dance and i am glad to say that i have found such a prestigious publisher with continued interest in my harder core material first of all they care about content secondly their editors work endlessly to make sure the book is put in front of as many eyes as possible my contact there is author and editor kevin lucia and i feel quite confident that the book will be well received very much because of what he brings to the game in terms of promotion visibility and above all a love for the craft in terms of conceiving the story i visualized the beginning of the scope and sequence as a result of an inspirational read i had of little women by louisa may alcott it was my first pandemic read when we were all closed in at home and the living breathing reality of the characters jumped off the page consequently the winslow sisters came to me character first and since i discovery write i didn t know my own ending until i had been writing the story for half a year it is a scary way to play but it is the way i make sure not to telegraph things or go stale hey three young sisters take on a serial killer what could be better below is the plug cemetery dance shared on their socials a day or two ago click it and it will go to the full screen presentation share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook like loading posted in uncategorized leave a comment writing is a difficult pleasure posted on may 25 2022 by maronovitz2015 i don t post much on facebook and i rarely blog as i am doing here because it seems common i write stories to represent me and the best i can do i rewrite edit polish exercise difficult removal and finally publish my delicate and hopefully beautiful product my 4th novel a serial killer mystery titled the sculptor came out through night shade skyhorse march 29 2022 and my lifetime collection titled dancing with tombstones went live last october through cemetery dance publications kevin lucia is my contact at cd and there is positively no other editor i have worked with in the business of small market horror publishing who works harder for his authors my newest work another serial killer piece titled the winslow sisters is by far my best creation as the character orientation is so bold at least for me the main players are all female and though they take the reader to hell and back my inspiration was little women by louisa may alcott that has got to be a plus as the aforementioned text is of the best american novels i started a new work on 5 16 2022 and it is not a horror piece part of this relates to past sales i am afraid since not many people namely agents believe in horror i grew up on stephen king so i do not quite understand the average reader s distaste toward the horror genre still please ask your neighborhood horror writer and he or she will tell you that selling horror is a difficult stretch thing is i naturally gravitate toward the horrific and writing a normal story feels like i am faking the piece i am currently working on is untitled and concerns an english professor who is given the task of teaching in one class the whole roster of the women s softball team at the university of delaware since i work there as an english prof it almost feels like i am cheating when it comes to content at the same time each time i sit down to add a section i feel out of my element fearful of failure i think to myself this can t be done no one will care it s too big it s too damned real to play out as fiction then i start writing

2022 by maronovitz2015 2021 was a good year for anyone who lost someone to covid 19 i offer my deepest sympathies for anyone who looked on in horror and shock at what the political climate became in the last half decade i sympathize as well still this is a blog post of hope and i don t mind claiming here loudly and with great fanfare that i had a wonderful productive and celebratory year for those that don t know i am a college professor of english at three different institutions and from a teaching perspective 2021 was awesome this was also a red letter year for me creatively i published a lifetime collection of short stories and novellas through cemetery dance publications titled dancing with tombstones https www cemeterydance com dancing with tombstones html this was released in october 2021 i also published at least for pre order my fourth novel titled the sculptor night shade skyhorse publishing it was supposed to come out in september but shipping delays have meant publishing delays it will release march 1st 2022 https www skyhorsepublishing com 9781949102543 the sculptor here is a guest blog post i did on december 9th 2021 for flames rising dot com https www flamesrising com the tales themselves are eclectic moreover i completed the sequel to the sculptor just the other day on december 29th 2021 it took me a year and a month to write and so 2021 is a year i will always remember fondly in terms of creative output i have sent the sculptor ii to my mentor lovecraft scholar and anthologist s t joshi and look forward to his take on it though i am not much for self promotion the books have given me an excuse to get on some podcasts and youtube interviews with old friends recently jason henderson had me on for a chat he runs castle bridge media the castle of horror anthology series i have had fiction in four of the volumes and he wrote the young adult horror series alex van helsing here is that podcast december 2 2021 https www youtube com watch v pp51pq9yklm t 12s i also have had a couple of appearances with cody walker and ralph buso on their show alhsy or alot s happened since yesterday they started the podcast youtube show november 20th 2020 with yours truly as their first guest https www youtube com watch v xfigghejkz0 t 1939s the history of this is kind of cool as ralph and his band ravenscroft were the subject s of my first professional rock review december 9th 2015 on hellnotes the famous horror blog my review focused on their hit cauldron of deceit http www horrorreview com the inside scoop on upcoming horror heavy metal band ravenscroft i originally started doing these reviews because i had to have something to post besides my buy links i have additionally seen a connection between metal and horror from day one and this was a way to express my love for heavy music in a big way also just saying i am a professor of english so writing a fortification analysis is second nature especially since i was in a professional glam metal club band in the 80 s i am familiar with the ins and outs of the business i was also cody and ralph s 50th guest just the other week november 15th 2021 many feel the show was particularly engaging and i especially like the rapport between the three of us remember there is no coaching or script everything is done on the fly and i especially enjoy a great improvisation moreover their editing is superlative check out the inserts of joker and jaws looks like we planned it but no we did not cody and ralph are simply that good https www youtube com watch v fymcmlw7efm t 824s speaking of music this past year i got into watching viewer reactions to my favorite bands on youtube my favorite artist to put in the search was queen of course as they are my favorite all time band interestingly cody and ralph also have a reaction show called rocker reaction alhsy and they had me on the other night december 29th 2021 to react to my new favorite band the warning they are a hard rock metal power trio three sisters from mexico who are simply the best new band playing now instead of going into it too deeply here i have provided the reaction show i guest hosted through which we discussed the single evolve the live version https www youtube com watch v ivnnf_vapzs t 1201s altogether i have written over a hundred rock reviews probably more like three hundred for heavy music headquarters and metalheads forever magazines though i did tail off a bit on the volunteered reviews this past year i freelanced the bio reviews for a few new signings at the boutique deathcore label eclipse records my work is featured on eclipse s main page concerning the bands violet blend the stone eye april 21st and riseup https www eclipserecords com as for 2022 i have six classes so far set up starting mid january in terms of new writing i am still catching my breath from the last novel and to be honest s t joshi s response to it will dictate which way i go if his response is lukewarm i will most probably search out a new theme and story for the next novel i will also probably write some short stories if his read is highly favorable i might go all the way and make the sculptor into a continuing franchise hey my stuff isn t for everybody but i always keep it real peace 1 1 22 share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook
