Congrats on six months of Vicki Beautiful, Somer!
Vicki Beautiful Celebrates Six Months with Giveaway. Have
You Ate Dinner Yet?
By Somer Canon, Author
Do you know what happened on April 26, 2016? Yes, that was
six months ago. Surprise! It was the day
that my novella, Vicki Beautiful,
launched. Yay! It has been a wonderful
six months wherein I was welcomed into an amazing community of writers,
editors, reviewers, readers, and publicists.
Having my little story that barely made it to press be published has been
one of the most satisfying experiences of my life and to all of the people who
have read, reviewed, and helped spread the word, I am eternally grateful. Happily, 2017 will see Vicki Beautiful offered in print when it is republished so that it
doesn’t disappear from the world just yet.
I hope it continues to be something that makes people question what,
exactly, are they being served for dinner! *wink*
In honor of Vicki
Beautiful’s six month birthday, I’m giving away a $25 Amazon gift card to
one lucky winner! I hope you’ll enter but I also hope you might spread the word
about my first novella to round out the year and gain it momentum for the next.
I look forward to talking about the book a lot longer with you all.
Be sure to come back and tweet each day for extra entries! Thank you! This giveaway will run through mid-November!
If you haven’t checked out the book, here are some of the
reviews it received:
“Vicki Beautiful is a very solid,
quite unnerving, and.. well… beautiful read. How far would you go to fulfill
your lifelong friend’s last wishes?” – Zakk, The Eyes of Madness
“I wouldn’t call the unique
direction Vicki Beautiful takes as scary, but it is a story that causes immense
feelings of dread and shock. That is horror. I wasn’t expecting Vicki’s
request, and had no idea what to expect from Canon from that point on. A lot of
horror is predictable, you see certain aspects and angles coming a mile away,
but occasionally we get a sneaky, delectable treat.” –Glenn Rolfe, Author of Blood and Rain
“I generally don’t get too
squeamish when it comes to horror books as I have read just about every type of
horror story imaginable, but this one definitely sent chills down my spine. I
think what makes it such a great story and an unsettling slice of horror is
that Canon does a great job of blending moments of normalcy into a completely
bizarre situation.” –Rich, The Horror Bookshelf
“Beyond the fact it is a short
read, the story twists your guts and makes you question a lot in the most
extreme and unthinkable ways. I will say proudly though, Canon has such a
twisted and bright future ahead with this being her first novella.” –Jay,
Horror News Network
“A simple story, but all the
more powerful for its simplicity. Four stars. The author has guts and skill.” –Outlaw
Poet
Vicki Beautiful, Synopsis
One
last taste of perfection…
Sasha
and Brynn descend upon the showplace home of their girlhood friend, Vicki,
planning to celebrate her surviving cancer to reach her fortieth birthday. As
they gather around Vicki’s perfectly set dinner table, though, her husband
shares devastating news. The cancer is back, and she doesn’t have long to live.
Her
life is cut even shorter than Sasha and Brynn expect—the next morning, their
friend is found dead, her flawless skin slit at the wrists. But a tub full of
blood is only the beginning. Before the weekend is through, they are forced to
question how far they’re willing to go to fulfill Vicki’s last wish.
A
very specific, very detailed recipe that only the truest of friends could stomach…
