I was surfing on Twitter enjoying the page of Zombie Sam, who makes soundtracks for films and the like, when I discovered the cool giveaways he posts exclusively for his fans and followers. (hint!)

They were cool handmade drawings, done by Zombie Sam himself, picturing Tim Burton's universe. The giveaways are engaging and personalized, making them one of a kind.

It was then I got very inspired by his ideas and realized... I had never done such intimate giveaways JUST and DIRECTLY to my followers & friends.

An artist/author like ME can only thrive with the support of cheerful, positive, fun people like YOU and I am very blessed to have you around...

So, here's to YOU, my GoodReads follower:

*..:1 Hardcover copy of The Night of Elisa - SIGNED and with DEDICATORY.:..*
Will be shipped if you live in the UK, Scandinavia, Europe, CA and the US.

Do you live outside those regions? You can still participate - but you will win an Ebook on your fav format, Kindle or Epub! :D

All you have to do is to leave a reply or "hello" on this blogpost ^.^ The winner will be announced on 3rd April, 2016.

Don't be shy :D

Good Luck and have a nice day!

I am hours late. 3rd April ended almost 8 hours ago for my time zone. I have been too busy with work ^.^

But I finally have the name of the winner. I wrote the names down on a piece of paper, folded and put them inside a box, shook the box and closed my eyes to pick up one... And it was...

Gisele Walko :D Congratulations! I will sign and ship your book!

For those others who participated, but didn't win, stay tuned because there will be more giveaways like this :)
....................................
On another note, I have been out for a study trip in Paris, and may be catching up with e-mails and messages for the next days.

Have a nice week!

Hey guys, how are you doing? Hope you're enjoying the weekend! I'd like to invite you to listen/watch my first podcast! It's here, on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0EJq...

Probably sounds like crap, but I had to try - this is an experiment which I hope to make better, after failing on making regular videos!

The other thing is... I'd like to do one more Follower's Giveaway! :D

I had ordered some proof copies @ Blurb and I'd like to give them to you rather than having them lingering on my shelves.

image: My dear GoodReads chaps, it’s been a while since I wrote anything, so I am wrapping up news and stuff in this post. I have been working!

Working a lot on my day job, doing new book covers for Tiffany Roberts, Grace Draven, K.J. Nessly, Nathan Barham, Josefine Gottwald and some more – and I am going to show them in a Cover Artwork post very soon, so stay tuned. ^.^

New releases
On personal projects, I have been busy as well. I have !!!FINALLY – MY DREAM JUST CAME TRUE!!! *_* the art book/ultimate version of The Night of Elisa - An Illustrated Gothic Novel.



This is in fact how I planned to make the book since the beginning, but didn’t have the resources or platform to publish so. It’s coming this 11th July in full color paperback (trade, matte stock) and an amazing Hardcover version with heavy, glossy art/photo paper stock. <3 Thanks to http://www.peecho.com now I am able to make art books with top notch quality for collectors! :D



Valencia Noir - The Beautiful, the Fantastic and the Grotesque of Valencia, Spain is now printed in the finest quality. Both the paperback (semi-glossy) and hardcover have photopaper quality, and the hardcover is like The Night of Elisa, heavy, glossy art stock.

Cover Reveal Blitz – 6th July
And I am writing! As Cold As Thorns is planned to come this late Autumn. My new Gothic Novel will of course, be illustrated, and also have an art book edition as well as trade edition.

The Blitz, organized by RBTL Book Tours http://www.rbtlbooktours.com/ (which I have been working with since the very beginning!) will take place on these lovely Blogs:
