 I'm thrilled to be part of this blog hop. Musa is turning one year old days after my first release through this great new publisher. Silhouette of Darkness is much improved from the manuscript I submitted to the editors of Musa. I thank their staff for all the support and assistance in making this new collection shine.

Win a free copy of my new e-book release, Silhouette of Darkness!

Follow the instructions below to enter the drawing.

Remember to leave comments here to enter the grand prize drawing for the Kindle Fire as well.




NOW AVAILABLE

Silhouette of Darkness
13 Tales of Horror and Dark Fantasy

When the Blight overwhelms the earth, humanity's only defense is to stay awake from dusk until dawn. Tonight, Sean will learn how lethal insomnia is in this new world.
In "Fatal Insomnia" and other stories in Silhouette of Darkness, author George Wilhite explores the horror in unusual places.
Enter this dark realm and experience first-hand “a writer that makes a much-needed contribution to this genre, giving us weird fiction/neo-pulp fiction fans something to sink our teeth into that brings to mind that lost age of fiction.” (Bitten by Books)

    I enjoy reading and writing speculative fiction. Although I'm mostly known for gay romances, my first every accepted short story was speculative as are many of my shorter works. Best of luck with this -- the cover alone catches my interest.

    I'm a big fan of blog hops. It's a great way to find new authors. Sorry, horror isn't one of my genres I read. I like to sleep at night without crawling under the bed to hide. Congrats on your new release!

    Great looking site. Sleek design, clean links, and nice layout. (Makes me think about re-designing mine.) The excerpt from "Fatal Insomnia" sure is compelling. Just so you know, I already follow this site, and we have already connected on facebook. I hope for the chance to post a few reviews of your collection on various sites. Here's my contact information if you happen to draw my name: dhvs01 at gmail.com . Thanks.
