Welcome

Posted: September 4, 2010 in Uncategorized

Greetings and salutations.  That’s been my favorite greeting since I read Charlotte’s Web. 

This is my little corner of the Internet.  My name is Jason Andrew.   I’m a wordsmith and a teller of stories.   I write science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories.  And sometimes, when I am very lucky, I touch hearts.

Feel free to poke around and check out my strange little universes and take a ride.

Don’t forget that the Cover Photo Contest for Twilight Temptations doesn’t end until the end of the month.

For more information on the Twilight Photo Contest, see the rules here: http://jasonbandrew.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/twilight-temptations-contest/

Sales on Twilight Temptations have been fairly decent and thus far I haven’t seen a drop in the numbers.  Your emails and comments have been very encouraging.

A few years ago I tried an experimental crowd-funding project called Dylan and the Dream Pirates.   A number of you volunteered money to see the chapters posted each month.   This was my highest paid project in my career.  However, I feel as though the audience for that novel could be bigger if it was released in a different format.

Today I took down the site so that I can properly organize it into my next project on Amazon.  That’s right!  In the next month or two, you will be able to own your very own copy of Dylan and the Dream Pirates.

The first copies of Twilight Temptations have started reaching my readers.  Here is the first entry in the photo contest.

My short story collection Twilight Temptations is now available via Amazon!  It will be available later in Kindle format, but for now it is only available in print format.  Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1468130811

To celebrate, I am holding a contest and giving away a number of prizes.  How do you participate?  If you purchase a copy of Twilight Temptations, take an amusing photo while holding the book, then send it to jasonbandrew@gmail.com with the subject Twilight Temptations.

Over the last several years, I have collected multiple copies of various anthologies, magazines, or RPGs that feature a story of mine.  The first 10 photos I receive will receive a copy of one of these publications.   So, get your photo in early for a better chance to win a prize.

On March 1st 2012, I will randomly select one of the participants as the Grand Prize winner.  Said winner will have a tuckerization in a personal short story that I will write specifically for you.  Have you always wanted to be a Space Cowboy with a Kung Fu grip?  We can make that happened at least for one story.

Please feel free to share this contest far and wide.  Thank you to all of my friends that have been more than supportive over the years.

My latest Heller Mystery titled “Darkly Dreaming in Black Waters” is available in the anthology Night Terrors II from Blood Bound Books.  You can purchase it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/tags-on-product/098454089X/ref=tag_dpp_cust_edpp_sa

“Darkly Dreaming in Black Waters” is a spiritual sequel to HP Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness.  It involves a Shoggoth, Nazis, and a member of the infamous Heller family.  I did a lot of research for this story with my friend Mario Medina and ended up naming one of the characters after him.

I’m very proud of this story so check it out!

Greetings,

I have a number of stories that should be seeing print soon.  I figured I’d mention some of them here:

“Requiem” will appear in the anthology Dark Tales of Lost Civilizations from Dark Moon Books.  Coming out at World Horror Con!

“Lay Down Your Hair” will appear in the anthology Queer Fish 2 from Pink Narcissus Press.  Release Date TBA

“The Sky God’s Daughter” will appear in the anthology Daughters of Icarus from Pink Narcissus Press.  Release Date TBA

“Recovery” will appear in the anthology In SITU from Dagon Books.  Release Date TBA

I first saw the incredibly cheesy horror movie Sleepaway Camp when during the 7th grade at ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) camp.   It was not a pleasant experience.  Change never is when you are closed minded and don’t have a clue about the world or life.  You can read about my hilarious experiences in the essay “Sleepaway Camp: Kicked in the Gender” available in Butcher Knives and Body Counts: Essays on the Formula, Frights, and Fun of the Slasher Film, (Dark Scribe Press, September 2011)

Teaser: Cover of Darkness is an anthology of horror and dark fantasy. For CoD, the ideal dark story is one you read with all the lights on, glancing over your shoulder frequently, just in case… This issue features Slots by Tyree Campbell, The Lunker by David Pinnt, a great novelette “Tiny Doorways” by Ralph Robert Moore, and many more!

My Heller short story “Moonlight in Scarlet” appears in this anthology.

 

New Sale

One of my favorite stories I wrote last year has finally sold.   ”The Sky God’s Daughter” will appear in the Daughters of Icarus anthology from Pink Narcissus Press.  I am very excited.   Sometimes you simply write a story because you want to get that story captured and this was one such story.
