PAIN is a rapid-fire zombie novel with an introduction by NY TImes Best Seller Jonathan Maberry. A Top Secret virus infects the water supply of a mountain town. Two mercenary soldiers, a retiring doctor and a handful of terrified patients struggle to defend a remote ER against a mob of the living dead. Deeply weird black comedy bounds. Through one long, harrowing night the living will learn there are many different kinds of...PAIN

BONUS KINDLE CONTENT Contains the short story The Name of the Wicked from my Stoker-nominated collection "A Host of Shadows."

"PAIN is filled with razor-sharp wit and insights into human suffering that cut all the way to the bone.  Highly recommended!"
-Jonathan Maberry, NY Times Bestseller, Multiple Bram Stoker Award winner

“A writer who is not afraid to walk into the shadows and drag the things living there kicking and screaming into the light.”
— Brian Keene

"Writing that is controlled, assured, and filled with the kind of spooky atmosphere that used to make you hide your head under the bedcovers on wind-wracked nights."
-Tom Piccirilli

"Master craftsmanship."
-Cemetery Dance

Welcome to KindleBoards, Harry, and congratulations on your book! 

(If you've gotten this welcome before, it's just as a matter of housekeeping. We like to put a copy of the "welcome letter" in each book thread.  It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, it just helps us know that you know the rules.)

A brief recap of our rules follows:

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature.

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice). A new post that starts a new thread, when you already have one for a given book, may be deleted.

--While we encourage you to respond to member posts, you may not make back-to-back posts that are less than 7 days apart.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must, again, wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then. "Premature" posts may be deleted.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here, in whole or in part, as they are easy to find via a link to your Amazon book page. (You may post the link.)  Similarly, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

--Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!  Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html.  Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.

Oh, and one more thing:  be sure to check out the index threads at the top of the Book Bazaar. . . .there are details there about how you can be listed so that our readers can find you.

Thanks for being part of KindleBoards!  Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

I just had to laugh at the title of this thread. My daughter is expecting her second baby, and the due date is 10/18! Yes, pain will be released!

Who has the e-rights?, you or Dark Regions. Because I like the premise but Dark Regions might price the Kindle release too high.

Thanks, guys. Dark Regions will be releasing the book at a reasonable price, we've already discussed it. PAIN features an introduction by John Maberry too, by the way.

Hey, if men had the babies the race would die out. We'd be WAY too chicken!!! Grin

And they are beautiful books. I'm excited. Remember guys, the Kindle version is only $2.99 through Halloween, then I'm told the publisher will raise the price closer to normal. Btw author Jonathan Maberry did a fun interview with me for his blog at the eponymous www.jonathanmaberry.com it's already cross-posted under the Writer's Cafe heading (I goofed in putting it here, still learning the rules). Looks like we're getting a ton of exposure on the internet from zombie fan sites. I'm off to watch Monday Night Football.  Wink

Hope you enjoy yourself and laugh a bit, please let me know what you think of it & post a review. PAIN and my novel-turned-Lionsgate movie DEAD AND GONE are both moving extremely well right now, probably due to a mix of the low prices and the time of year. Thanks for checking it out and Happy Halloween to you & yours!  Grin
