  1. Our flash fiction contest for May is a wrap. Congrats to our three winners, John, Michael, and Damien (@dwgrintalis)! ow.ly/bjUKj
  2. Today (June 2) is the last day to win a copy of The Wicked. Odds are good. goodreads.com/giveaway/show/…
  3. Check out this interview with our extended staff member and writer Robert J. Duperre: ow.ly/bgdfU
  4. @ed_kurtz_bleeds It happens way too much. I know some are likely legit returns, people 1-click buying by mistake, but probably most are not.
  5. We would like to thank all those people who buy our 99-cent e-books, copy them, then return them. We couldn't do this without your support.
  6. Have you rubbed the price sticker yet? amzn.com/0615419003
  7. You don't need money to write a book. If you're on Kickstarter soliciting money for such a thing, you're lazy turd, not a writer.
  8. Try your luck in our giveaway of The Wicked (ow.ly/baPte). Prefer the e-book? Snag that here for $4.99: ow.ly/baPvP.
  9. Flash challenge tonight at 8 PM! If you've got two hours two spare, follow this link: ow.ly/baL0m
  10. Shock Totem is looking for reviewers for our latest release, The Wicked, by James Newman. If you're interested, let us know.
  11. @anthonyjrapino @mercedesmy Come on, now. Do you really think Mercedes would have linked that photo? Haha.
  12. Check out Mercedes's (@mercedesmy) interview with Anthony J. Rapino (@AnthonyJRapino): ow.ly/b8frX
  13. @FantasticWorlds Thanks for clarifying. Haha.
  14. Someone just told me $4.99 was too much for an e-book. A 350-page book, by the way. Five bucks is too much. Really? Sigh...
  15. @lordfroggy Thank you, My Lord.
  16. We're giving away a copy of The Wicked, by James Newman, through Goodreads. If you have account, try your luck. ow.ly/b36Wx
