A Review & Other News

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

A review of Night School by M. Whitt, author of Planet Gemini, has been posted on Amazon.com.  You can also purchase the book if you haven’t done so already, via this link.

I am in the middle of doing an interview with Mark Fewell of CALLIOPE to be featured in his section called, ‘Scary Scrawlings.’  Along with the interview, there is a possibility of a short story of mine being published, as well.  I’ll keep you updated on when the issue will be out and how to go about getting it.

Also, a reminder that I will be reading a 10-12 minute excerpt from Night School on the Authors Read program on Blog Talk Radio on Jan. 19th at Noon (ET).  You can find out how to listen to the show by clicking the above link or checking out Appearances/News.  I’ll be posting a reminder of the show later this week with this information, as well.

In other news…

I have begun collaborating with a t-shirt maker to design and sell Night School shirts. 

Started throwing around design ideas with JD Boren of JDB Knives to design and sell a hand crafted, limited edition knife depicting the essence Night School.  If you are a knife enthusiast and enjoy quality, hand crafted knives, I suggest checking out his site and ordering something.  Of course, once the design (which will be posted at a later date), price and availability of the Night School knife is good-to-go, I will let you know how to go about ordering it.

Withersin Interview & Update to Booksigning

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

I mentioned awhile back about Withersin Magazine doing an interview with me.  Well, it is finally posted to their website.  Click here to read it.

I mentioned here about my first booksigning of the year on Feb. 7th.  Of course, I will have on hand a number of copies of Night School that you can purchase and have me sign (along with free bookmarks, etc) or you can bring in your own copy for me to sign.  Along with having the book, Al Vermette, the publisher of the magazine (and a heck of a guy), will be providing me with a limited number (5) of copies of Werewolf Magazine #9 (comes out this month) containing my short story, ‘Thirst.’  The copies of the magazine will be $3.00 (2-bones off the cover price) so you can not only check out my short story, but enjoy all the other great stories contained within and learn more about the magazine, itself.  Hopefully, this will make you thirsty for more of what Sapphire Publications (Blood Moon Rising) has to offer.

If you aren’t able to make the book signing but still want a copy of Werewolf #9, visit the Bookstore to learn how to get one (or two, or three, or…).

North Coast Voice Magazine

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

I mentioned here about a certain local (alternative) newspaper that was going to do an article about me and Night School.

Now that it’s official I can tell you about it.

North Coast Voice Magazine will be doing a review of Night School and an article about me for their Feb. 4, 2009, issue.  The book will be featured in a column by Sage Satori, called, ‘Hot Off The Press.’  They will also be advertising my book signing at Visible Voice Books on Feb. 7, 2009 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.

North Coast Voice Magazine is available all over Northeast Ohio.  You can normally find their ‘bins’ next to the daily newspaper.  Although, if you don’t live in the area and would like to read the article, you can do so by visiting their website on Feb. 4th.  If you would still like a ‘hardcopy’ of the newspaper, let me know and I’ll see what I can do about sending you one.

As a reminder, you can always find out my latest book signing events and appearances, by clicking here.

Blood Moon Rising/The Horror Writer

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

Sapphire Publications, the same people that will publish my short story, ‘Thirst’ in the January 09 issue of Werewolf Magazine, also publish a few other horror related mags.  Among these are Blood Moon Rising and The Horror Writer.  In the past, The Horror Writer, has done interviews with horror genre greats; Michael Laimo & Richard Laymon.

The reason I mention this, is that I just completed an interview with the publisher (Al) and it will appear in #37 of Blood Moon Rising (online) and #10 of The Horror Writer (print). 

#37 of BMR will go live later this winter, while #10 of The Horror Writer will be out in the Spring of 2009.

As always, once both of these are available I will let you know so you can check out the interview.

And if you haven’t done so already, check out the Bookstore to purchase a copy of Night School.
