Remember to leave me a review. I personally think the story Skelwaller Lane is the best of the three but I'd like to hear your thoughts. Remember to leave a review at Amazon.

 

Synopsis:

 

Death Alarm is Douglas R. Brown's twisted tales of the macabre. In this three-story collection, Douglas explores the devastating depths of mental illness, the evil that burns within men who kill, and angels who aren't always what they seem.

In the title story, Death Alarm, Douglas uses his real-life experiences as a career firefighter to explore the consequences when those who go to the rescue become those most at risk. When pure evil battles the noblest of professions, the blood will flow like water from the very hydrants that firemen use every day.

Following the title story is a psychological tale entitled Janitor. Working the nightshift in a run-down factory, Jeb quickly realizes he may not be alone. What does the man dressed in black want with him? And can Jeb keep his sanity long enough to find out?

Closing out the collection is a brutal story titled Skelwaller Lane where sometimes even the most horrible behavior can be justified if only you listen to how the true story begins.

In addition, Douglas has included an exclusive 3-chapter preview of his break-through novel, Tamed, where werewolves are sold as pets. Recently called, "the Jurassic Park of werewolf stories," Douglas is excited to give you a peek with this free preview.

In the Death Alarm short stories, Douglas grabs you by your arms.

And then he chops them off.

 

Sensitive stomachs need not continue.

Big Sale on Tamed

Ever heard of Bookbub.com? It's a site that sends emails to subscribers about big sales on books that are in the reader's preferred genres to read. It's not a spam site because you actually sign up for only the notifications of books you might be interested in reading. Anyway, this isn't an advertisement for bookbub as much as a gratuitous ad for Tamed. With bookbub, an author or publisher applies to have their book featured in Bookbub's email and if they accept, the author and publisher have a chance at a lot of sales. The hope is to sell enough copies that the book's rankings improve and the book continues  to sell after the deal. As of today, Tamed will be featured in their email and is now on sale for . . . wait for it . . . $1.99 for ebook or $11.99 (Amazon) for a super cool paperback edition (remember those?) Heck, Tamed is even on audiobook. This is your chance to try my werewolf tale with a twist for under two bucks. If you enjoy werewolves, or someone in your family enjoys the furry beasts, then I would enthusiastically recommend that you try Tamed. How's that for over-the-top promotion? Here's the back cover copy.

Werewolves are real.

And they make excellent pets.

Owning one of the legendary creatures is the latest fad. The WereHouse insists their werepets are loyal, docile, and 100% safe, but what happens when these gentle giants turn on their masters?

While on a routine EMS call, paramedic Christine Alt is attacked by a rogue werepet. She escapes with her life, but the encounter leaves her with more than just scars. As her body begins to change, she discovers the WereHouse is hiding a terrible secret, and they will stop at nothing to keep her from exposing them.

Check Amazon, Barnes and Noble, the IBookstore, or Kobo for the deal. I mean, what's two bucks for a cool story among friends? Enjoy your reading.

Tamed hits 20,000 Kindle downloads in first 3 months

Tamed hits 20,000 Kindle downloads in first 3 months

Moses Lake, WA (PRBuzz.com) April 18, 2012 -- Rhemalda Publishing and author Douglas R. Brown are excited to announce that Tamed has surpassed 20,000 ebook downloads. This is Douglas' most successful book to date and he is excited to share his work with so many readers.

Released on January 26th 2012, Tamed has been met with high praise for its originality with Cherie Reich calling Tamed, "The Jurassic Park of werewolf stories." Author Ashley Knight said Tamed is "Viciously brilliant." Rhemalda Publishing believes Tamed is a werewolf book unlike any other with werewolves being sold as pets.

The idea for Tamed came from Douglas' desire to change how people view werewolf stories much in the way HBO's True Blood changed how people view vampires. While brainstorming for a unique idea to accomplish that goal, Douglas was inspired by his 95-LB. Doberman Pinscher. The idea that such a powerful creature could be so docile and tame gave him the original idea he needed.

Now that the first 20,000 readers are enjoying Douglas' writing and sharing their views, he is looking forward to the next 20,000 and what they think.

Douglas R. Brown is a fantasy and horror writer living in Pataskala, Ohio. He began writing as a cathartic way of dealing with the day-to-day stresses of life as a firefighter/paramedic in Columbus, Ohio. Now he focuses his writing on fantasy, where he can draw from his lifelong love of the genre. Douglas R. Brown's website is at http://www.epertase.com. Tamed can be purchased from Rhemalda Publishing, your local bookstore, or your favorite online retailer (Amazon).

Free offer for Tamed

When I began seeking publication for my first novel my number one priority was to get my work into as many hands as possible. I wasn't concerned with the money because I figured if what I wrote was well-received, then the money would come in due time. And if it didn't and people were able to get enjoyment from my work, then so be it.

Therefore, I am happy to announce that my wonderful publisher, Rhemalda, is going to give my latest novel, Tamed, away for free for 5 days on the Kindle. This is a great chance to get my werewolf tale with a twist and give it a try at no cost. If you don't have a Kindle, simply download the free Kindle app to your smart phone or tablet and give it a try. Tamed has recently been called, "the Jurassic Park of werewolf stories," and I can't wait for you to give it a read.

There are no strings attached to this deal. Simply download my story and move on. If, however, you would like to help out in return, I'd love for you to share this free offer with your fellow bloggers, Facebookers, and Tweeters so I can give this book to as many people as I can. Also, while you are on the amazon page, feel free to give Tamed a like by clicking on the like button at the top of the page.

So there it is. From now until Sunday, Tamed is yours for free with no strings attached. I am unbelievably proud of Tamed and just knowing this offer will get it into the hands of even more readers is exciting. If you are wondering why Rhemalda would do something like this, I'll give you a brief explanation. First, giving Tamed away gets my writing, along with their company, a larger reach. But also, if the Amazon ranking for Tamed gets low enough, the book will get more visibility and that will, hopefully, turn into sales after the free promotion.

And if it doesn't, well, I hope the readers who get in on this deal will enjoy what I have written.
