Hi folks,

Since our distribution system to the UK is dreadful, we thought BBR readers may want to get in on a promotion we are running at BookExpo America this weekend.

We making Steve Rasnic and Melanie Tem's THE MAN ON THE CEILING available to booksellers and reporters for FREE--as a download from our website. So for five days, from May 31st to June 1st, you can download an Adobe Acrobat file of this Bram Stoker award winning story for nothing. No cost. Nada.

We really believe in this story, and want it read by everyone in creation. So here's your chance to get a copy at no cost. And if you really like it, you can always order the signed/numbered chapbook from us.

Did we mention this one is free?

Piffle Magazine: General Election Special Edition

'Piffle', Britain's bestest satirical rag, has got all the political tripe, all the cutting satire and all the fish on bicycles that a healthy, young, student radical needs. A sort of surreal 'Private Eye' but without the boring bits and with award-winning features on root-vegetables, 'Piffle' is the humorous 'zine that you've been waiting for.

Piffle Launches Manifesto

Come on kids! Send in your proposals for ÎPiffleâ pledges that we can promise to the people, and they might just make the special edition.

And Finally. . .

Calling all talented satirical hacks, sketch writers, cartoonists, root-ginger agriculturists and surrealist beat-poets! Contributions needed for the ÎPiffle Election Specialâ. Send them all to piffle@lycosmail.com or ring ÎPiffle Publishingâ on 07890 470624 for more information.

I would like to invite you to drop by all my author's homepage and get to know a little about their speculative non-fiction/fiction works. You will find reviews, media news, booksignings, and excerpts plus interviews and information on each of their books. If you are into Dark Fantasy (Gothica/Vampires), Metaphysical Thrillers, then you will love what Southern Charm Press has to offer.
