CONTEST WINNER- BRANDY

Brandy (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=9120981) has solved the contest question for a free download of "Beckoned". Congrats, Brandy- well done.

The answer is: The symbol appears on the cover of Santana Abraxas on the left hand of the Red Demon.

I'm hoping Brandy will enjoy the novel and maybe write a review.

Stay well, all

CONTEST for BECKONED- new clues

The Contest for a free download of “Beckoned” has not been won after a month. I am willing to give the following additional clues. With a little sleuthing, this should now be easy. I think you will find it worth the effort. Beckoned is a horror novel with both a touch of romance and some deep historical elements. I think you will enjoy it.

When you have the answer, please email me at ronaldscala@gmail.com

Question: Where did I get the symbol that appears on the cover of “Beckoned”?

Clues:

• Check http://ronaldscala.blogspot.com/ for a better view of both the original image and the book cover
• Released @September 1970 (not 1969 or 1971)
• LP album
• Left hand (you may need a spy glass)

Full Snow with extras

Hi,

February 20: Tonight is Full Snow Moon AND a lunar eclipse. Don’t miss it. Be careful of the werewolves though. I’m OK. Yukon is half wolf so they leave me alone.

New theme for MySpace tunes

Hi,

I’ve changed my tune on MySpace. As before I’m staying with artists that have “crossed over”. I consider it a way to communicate with the other side. http://www.myspace.com/ronaldscala Comments welcome.

Feature Article

I was pleasantly surprised to see an article about Beckoned in our local paper, The Weekly Villager. I was waiting on a take-out pizza and picked up the Villager while it cooked. On the Features Page were three pieces about local authors. Beckoned was one. It included a full color photo of the book cover and a very good article. Its also on-line at http://www.weeklyvillager.com/archive_pdf/020808.pdf (pg 19).

Some new clues for the contest

Hi,

I haven’t gotten a real good response from the contest for free download of “Beckoned” so I wanted to give a few more clues. It probably is a little tough without help. Here goes.

There's good news and bad news.

Good first. I did my first interview with a local paper about Beckoned. It's a small weekly but it was cool talking with a professional writer about being a writer. Hopefully she'll decide to put a piece in the paper about the book. And, I finally got classified as a"published author" by Pennwriters so I can now do what (?)

The bad, well not too bad. The weather is a little intense here in NE Ohio. Snow then an ice storm. Went to pick up my son at the movies and passed a flipped over pick-up and locked the brakes for a cool 80-foot skid.
