Welcome, Coffin Hoppers, to the Pagan Spirits trick-or-treat giveaway!

Whether you're stopping by from the Coffin Hop, a regular reader or just passing through, you're invited to take part in the trick-or-treat giveaway. I encourage you to visit as many of the 96 participating horror/weird fiction authors as you would like; you're sure to find a new favorite.

My guest on Thursday the 27th, Maxim Jakubowski, will also be hosting a separate giveaway which you are welcome to enter.

Please allow me to introduce myself: I'm Erin O'Riordan, and I write paranormal erotic romance. My major work in the genre is the Pagan Spirits series, a contemporary novel series about two sister-witches. Books 1 and 2, Beltane
and Midsummer Night are available now. I'm currently editing Book 3. I've also written many paranormal short stories featuring vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, a super-powered supervillain and her invisible nemesis, Medusa, Valkyries and dark faeries.



The Giveaway: Trick or treat! In honor of the Coffin Hop, I'm giving away an exclusive CreateSpace paperback version The Erotica Anthology, not on sale to the public yet. (You can get the e-book version for $.99 on Smashwords.) This is a proof copy, and you and I will have the only two proof copies in existence. The collection contains the dark faery tale "Herbert," the witchy short story on which the novel Beltane is based and a preview of the novel. Along with these supernatural stories, the collection contains four more erotic tales.


To enter the giveaway contest, you must be over 18 years old. There are two steps to the entry: 1)Follow this blog through Google Friend Connect or by e-mail and 2)Leave a comment on this post, providing an e-mail in your comment so you can be contacted if you win. Tell us what kind of spooky/supernatural fiction you like to read or write, give us a great Halloween costume idea...the comment can be whatever you want. The winner will be chosen at random. Both U.S. and international submissions will be accepted.

But wait, there's more! Not only will I send you the exclusive signed proof of the book, I'll also make you a mix CD of my favorite eerie/weird/Halloween-themed music - the music I like to listen to while I write. I promise it will not suck.

Can't get enough Halloween?

Cool giveaway, Erin.

Erin O'Riordan said...

Thank you, A.F. I hear you have a very spooky short story collection out right now.

Anne, thanks for following! I'll have to add it to my to-read list. Right now I feel like I'll never finish 'The Passage' by Justin Cronin, the 'War and Peace' of post-apocalyptic vampire novels.

Hi Erin,

Well, we know each other well. Saw you on the coffin tour and hopped in for a spell. I just finished John Connolly's The Gates and am anxiously awaiting Ellen Datlow's new anthology, Teeth, from the library. I will read almost anything. I'm not picky. Just be a good writer and I am there. LOL

Missed you on my blog this week.

Nora, how nice of you to stop by. The Weekend Creative Blog Hop was down this weekend - or rather, it was the return of a long-dead linky.

Happy Halloween, R.L.!

Jason, thanks for stopping by. I'm sorry you had technical difficulties, but don't worry, your entry is official!
