My first encounter with Nicholas Grabowsky!

I first ran into Nicholas Grabowsky of Halloween IV fame and Everborn fame and over-all fantastically intriguing horror-author fame on Myspace when Myspace was THE place to be socially. I have to tell you, being a new author, horror or not, I was "askeered" when he sent me a friend request. LOL I went to his page and thought I'd discovered the leader of some fantastic satanic cult or equally disturbing individual. Then I read on to see where he "used" to be a Pentecostal preacher. Actually that scared me the most! *gasp* (That's a joke folks! Sort of. HA!)

Anyway, I decided I'd rattle his cage. After all, he wanted to be MY friend AND he did book reviews at the time. Who wouldn't want a book review from Mr. Halloween? The point of this blog though is so that I could post my first correspondence with Nick on MySpace. And to think that I almost didn't respond to his friend request because I was scared.

Very impressive, Sue!

Of course I would love to read and review Never Ceese. If it's even remotely Christian, that intrigues me. I went to your site, and indeed it must be. My first novel was intended to be a Christian allegory until all hell broke loose in my life, the church in general turned against me, and now I'm a renegade in a twisted world where I write twisted things.

Oh.......do send me your book:

It'll take another month or so for me to review it.....I have so many books sent to me....but I'll gladly make it a priority. I used to do heavy research on vampire and werewolf myths in relation to the Bible, by the way.....

----best,

Nick

I followed my gut instinct though and am so very glad I did! I am now published by Mr. Halloween himself of Black Bed Sheet Books.

Thank you NICK for believing in me!!!!
