Halloween Giveaway and Contest!

Okay. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, because it's creepy, packed with supernatural goodness, and involves staying up late. In honor of Halloween, we're having a Halloween short fiction contest over at the Merry Sisters of Fate. It's a great opportunity to stretch your fictional muscles, show off your literary prowess, and maybe snag the grand prize.

The prompt is simply "Halloween" (be creative, dammit), and we'd prefer the word limit to between 600-2000, and the deadline is midnight on October 31st. Link back to the entry in Merry Sisters of Fate and we Sisters will commiserate over a pot of bubbling brains and other Halloween goodies to decide which one pleases us most. There is only one prize, but oh, what a prize, m'dears:

- a copy of the upcoming An Infinite Thread, the first Merry Sisters of Fate anthology, which features the best of the Sisters so far as well as three anthology-exclusive short stories, all packed with the supernatural, blood, and angst, as the Sisters' stories tend to be.

- a signed copy of Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception, and a CD with three of my songs that were inspired by Lament.

- a Merry Sisters of Fate t-shirt (or a homicidal faeries T, your pick).

Oh, I am dazzled by the beauty of our prize. You guys up for it? What's to lose?
