Have a couple of our Six-Packs and Quench your Thirst for Horror/Fear

Wow - what a wonderful adventure it was working on the 'Six-Pack' series with my dear friend and co-author, Betty Dravis. Betty has three terrorizing stories included in our latest book, Six-Pack of Fear - Saving the GPS Lady, The Snack, and Switching Genres. I can assure you won't be disappointed. My contribution to Fear - Devil House, A Scandalous Night in Vegas, and The Stranger.

The reader will find gold dust sprinkled throughout both books in this series. We were blessed to have some of the most talented individuals in the entertainment industry contribute their time in writing forewords, testimonials, creating illustrations, and book covers.

Betty and I recently made the decision to drop the price of our 'Six-Pack' series from $2.99 to $0.99 in order to make it affordable for everyone. We invite you to read the reviews; listen to word of mouth and then download our series of Horror/Fear and decide for yourself.

COULD KELLY LYNCH BE THE DARK DESIRE?

Armand Mastroianni, one of the most talented and sought-after Director/Producer in Hollywood, has created yet another masterpiece suspense/thriller, 'DARK DESIRE' - Airing November, 23rd on (LMN) LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK.





Armand Mastroianni has been directing feature films, mini series, movies of the week, TV pilots and episodic series since 1979 beginning with his first feature film "He Knows You're Alone" which was released by MGM in 1980 and featured the screen debut of Tom Hanks. That film led to a string of features including "The Killing Hour" developed with William Fredkin, "The Supernaturals," "Distortions," "Cameron's Closet" and "Double Revenge." In between shooting feature films Armand began to produce and direct episodic television shows like Dark Shadows, Against The Law, Friday the 13th, War of the Worlds, Man and Machine, Perfect Crimes, Wes Craven's Nightmare Cafe, Freshman Dorm, Reasonable Doubt, Touched by an Angel and Dead Zone. Working almost non-stop he directed several highly received mini-series including Danielle Steel's The Ring and Robin Cook's Invasion. His two hour movies include: The Linda McCartney Story, Dare to Love, Robin Cook's Virus, Final Run, A Mother's Revenge, One of Her Own, Deep Trouble, When No One Would Listen, Nowhere to Land, Fatal Error, First Target, First Shot and for the TBS Superstation First Daughter, which was the highest rated movie for cable to date.

When you think of big time director's in Hollywood - what comes to mind? Maybe egotistic, self-seeking...well, you would be dead wrong! I can tell you from personal experience that Mr. Mastroianni is anything but that! In October of 2011, my co-author of 'Six-Pack of Blood', Betty Dravis, approached Mr. Mastroianni about possibly reading our book of short stories and granting us a foreword for the book. Now anyone that knows my co-author, Betty Dravis, knows that she is a legend herself - a remarkable writer, journalist, celebrity interviewer, and list goes on. She isn't shy to go for the gold and nine out of ten times - she gets it...! Remember now that we are talking about asking the legendary Mr. Mastroianni to not only read our self-published book of short stories, but asking him to write the foreword as well. He did not hesitate and said *YES* To top it off, the man was in the middle of shooting a feature film when asked...did not hesitate! I still think my co-author and dear friend, Betty Dravis, lured him in with her million dollar smile and sweet disposition, hmmm. Well of course she did...!
 
 
Anyway, enough about us. :-) If you love suspense, drama, romance, thrills, a cast of multi-talented actors, unique plots with twists at the end - not to mention the extraordinary cinematography - your going to *LOVE* 'DARK DESIRE'

A few reviews Betty and I are quite proud of;

"This is a feast expertly cooked up by master chefs venturing into the dark side designed to leave us captivated, enthralled and horrified. The perfect dish to accompany your six-pack...or if you prefer, a fine wine." - Armand Mastroianni, Producer/Director, Silver Screen Pictures, Hollywood

"I know Betty Dravis as a multi-genre writer, but no matter what genre she writes in, make no mistake, Betty's a treasure, far as I'm concerned. This collection is special because it offers you a glimpse into the 'other' mind and character of this author." - John Locke, famous creator of the fictional character Donovan Creed and the first self-published author to sell a million e-books.

"Gritty, fast-paced and exciting, SIX-PACK OF BLOOD is a unique, in-your-face anthology that rises above the pack. Betty Dravis and Barbara Watkins make a great team in the horror genre." - Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine

"Paranormal thriller writer Barbara Watkins is the Queen of Terror of the Creepy and Supernatural. If you want spine-tingling stories, read her work and keep the lights on! - Lia Scott Price, Book/Screenwriter and Horror Film Producer

"I always think of Betty Dravis as a celebrity interviewer and a fine writer, but have never read her darker writing...until now. Both she and Barbara Watkins have a true grip on this genre. Six-Pack of Blood is a page turner. Hold onto your seats, you're in for another Fright Night!" - William Lashbrook and Katherin Kovin-Pacino, Actress/Producer

In this selection of stories, we hope to ignite in the reader feelings of terror, dread, and horror, as each story is unique in its own originality. Click on title and download your copy today - $2.99 and get your FRIGHT on tonight...!



In addition, as always I dedicate all my literary work to my family: my dear mother, my siblings, my husband, my children, and my grandchildren. They’re my life. To my fellow writer friends who continue to help promote my work by way of their websites, blogging, and reviews, Dimi Nakov, Sean O’ Conner, Lia Scott Price, Candy O’ Donnell, Marsha Casper Cook, Ashley Fontainne, Bennet Pomerantz, Kira Cortz, and the list goes on… I sincerely thank you all.


Last but certainly not least, I dedicate my collection of stories to my co-author Betty Dravis. Through her writing and by the amorous way she lives her life, Ms. Dravis inspires me to reach for excellence in my work and in my own life. I respect and love her dearly.

Betty and I send out a multitude of thanks to Director/Producer, Armand Mastroianni for writing the astonishing foreword, and to Dimi Nakov, Director/Producer at Zodiac Entertainment for granting us their 'Best Horror Award Badge' - shown on the book cover...
