I know I haven't really been around this page for some time. Most of that's because I've been very busy with life. I work a full time job and I have a small graphics business on the side. I've been doing book covers mostly for my father's small publishing company, Popcorn Press. At current there's a contest going on that their holding. They need vampyr poetry for a halloween poetry book that they want to publish by halloween.

In any case, www.vampyrverse.com has all of the details about the contest and the forms to submit your poetry to. Pieces that are chosen guarantees the creator of that poem a free copy of the book and a discount at popcornpress.com on future purchases. Beyond that you'll have the bragging rights of having a piece you've written published. But keep in mind not all submitted pieces can be chosen, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. You never know, your piece could be chosen!

Also there are ten books that will be given away to ten allies in a drawing. Allies are those individuals who did not necessarily submit a piece, but have been kind enough to spread the word around to friends, family, and total strangers. So for those of you who are creative, but not in the writing side of things, you still have a chance to win a copy of the book. So spread the word!

Also on Vampyr Verse Twitter Page my father the poet is submitting vampyr haiku, 1 for every day of the month of october. Please check it out.

((See Vampyr Verse cover piece for an idea of what the cover will look like.))

Thank you!
