What's New

Jan 16, 2021 - I am excited to announce that my horror poem, Dementia, which is in the HWA Poetry Showcase Vol. VII anthology, made Best Poem in Critters Readers Poll 2020, in Poems section.

Haunted Surry to Suffolk: Spooky Tales Along Routes 10 and 460 ended up in third place. And my one horror short story, A Trick, No Treat, ended up #8 in Horror Short Story. You can read the story (along with three horror poems of mine) in the Sirens Call Publications Halloween/Autumn issue of their zone for free as a PDF here.

Dec 1, 2020 - There would have been a Hanover Book Expo 2020 for me in November, but due to Covid it was cancelled and will be back next fall in 2021. The organizer of the event made a video of many of the authors who would have have been participating this year, with our books (three of mine at least), so please take a minute to watch it here. Thanks and happy holidays to all.

Nov 30, 2020 - I will be interviewed on Fate Magazine Radio on Sunday night on December 20th. For the link to listen in and phone number to call with questions, check Appearances at a Glance. I was told I would be the whole two hours of the show. Very cool, as Fate Magazine has been in business for 75 years.

Nov 28, 2020 - I have another new release, a Lovecraftian horror poem, Dementia, this time in Horror Writers Association Presents Poetry Showcase Volume VII. You can find the Amazon link to the anthology in Kindle and paperback here. There are about 50 poems included in the book, many by best selling authors.

I will have a Krampus dark fantasy short story in the last Christmas Lites anthology-the number will be X (10). The anthology should released next month. When it does, I will post it here.

Oct 29, 2020 - Sirens Call Publications just published the Halloween/Fall 2020 edition of The Sirens Call eZine, issue #51! The eZine is available for free on their website, and you can directly download it for free (and their other ezines from the past) from their website here.

My story that made it is A Trick, No Treat, and there are three horror poems of mine in the ezine,too. Those are Keeping Monsters in the Family, A Hell of My Own Making, and The Crimson Rush.

Oct 28, 2020 - One of my publishers, Dreampunk Press, is having a halloween sale, and you can get 20% off when you use the discount code Spooky at the checkout at the publisher's webstore. Visit them here to place your order of independently published books now (in paperback and eBooks). This includes my science fiction novella, Maverick Heart, too. Sale ends at midnight EST on Halloween. Good time to get books for yourself and maybe for Christmas gifts.

Oct 26, 2020 - I got an awesome new review from Westman Reviews. Check it out here.

She also added my book to her Fall/Halloween reviews. Find it here and her Holiday Gift Guide: here.

Oct 20, 2020 - Retro Horror, from Nightmare Press is now available in paperback. It has my story, Hunting the Goat Man, included, plus 11 more from other authors. So, if you prefer a book in your hands to read and not an eBook, it is now available that way. Check it out here.

Oct 11, 2020 - My Halloween Haunts post for Horror Writers Association, "Can Halloween Be Pandemic Proof?" will be released on October 24, 2020. You can find it here, just look for mine. It should be the one at the top on that day. And be sure to check all the other ones out--some will have giveaways, too.

I am sure in a few days the paperback edition will released, but for now, the Kindle version of the horror anthology, Retro Horror, in which my short story, Hunting the Goat Man, is included, has released at Amazon. Find the link to it and the cover here.

Sep 30, 2020 - I have another book signing set up for the last 2 tours at Rosewell Plantation Center in Gloucester, Virginia, at the Visitor's Center, on October 30, 2020. To get the address plus the phone number to call to hold a prepaid spot on one of the tours, plus be able to buy a copy of my book (you might be able to prepay for the book over the phone) I will sign, check Appearances at a Glance. If you have any other of my ghost books, especially the new one, Haunted Surry to Suffolk, bring it(them)and I will sign those too.

I had a great interview on The Paranormal Pride paranormal radio show on Monday, September 28th. For those who didn't get to hear it live, you can hear the podcast here.

Last but not least, I will have another interview for television, although it will be prerecorded by Zoom for Virginia This Morning Usually I know the date of my appearance, but I only know the prerecording will be done on Thursday, October 8th. Once it is done, I am sure they will let me know the date it will be shown. It could be even the next day, the 9th, but when it is also posted online after the showing on TV, I will post the link of the podcast here on What's New so you can watch it then. Hopefully, though I will be able to let you know here in time of when it will be shown, and even if cannot watch it on Tv as you live outside of Central Virginia, you can watch any of the shows live online here.

Sep 18, 2020 - I will be speaking about the haunts and monsters of Richmond and the Petersburg, and the Tri-Cities area at a senior community center in Henrico, Virginia on Halloween. Check Appearances at a Glance if you are a senior and attend their events.

Sep 17, 2020 - First, some great news. I have another live book signing, which will be in October at the Book Warehouse in Williamsburg, Virginia! Check Appearances at a Glance to your right on this page for the date, time and address.

I also have two reviews for Haunted Surry to Suffolk: Spooky Tales Along Routes 10 and 460. First review is here. The reviewer gave it 5 stars. The second review was on Twitter. Read it here The reviewer says: 'Pamela Kinney's new book Haunted Surry to Suffolk: Spooky Locations Along Routes 10 and 460 mentions me! And it's a hauntingly good read. Chills in our own backyard.'

You can see the new book cover for HWA Poetry Showcase Vol VII, plus all the poems and their authors here.

Sep 3, 2020 - It saddens me to say that the Jingle Bell Bazaar on December 5th has been cancelled and that they rescheduled all of us vendors to the one on December 4, 2021. I expected this would happen. If you live in the area and wanted any of my books for Christmas signed, you can order them from Amazon and contact me about arrangements about getting any of them signed.

Plus, it looks like the Fall Festival in Yorktown, Virginia in October will still happen, as they have been having the Yorktown Market Days for a while now, and will be outside.

Aug 30, 2020 - I'm happy to say that three horror poems of mine were accepted by Sirens Call Publications, the same ezine that accepted my short story, A Trick, No Treat. The poems are Keeping Monsters in the Family, A Hell of My Own Making, and The Crimson Rush. The editor said to expect the ezine to be release around the end of October.

Aug 25, 2020 - I am happy to announce that I will be interviewed on Zoom by the North Suffolk Public Library, on October 20, 20202, at 2:00 p.m. I will be talking about the writing of all my books, and how I went about doing the ghost book, Haunted Surry to Suffolk: Spooky Tales Along Routes 10 and 460. I assume this will end up on the library's Facebook page. Just keep an eye on Appearances at a Glance for when their Facebook page link is added, when I know for sure. For now, I will have their calendar online.

In addition, I'm happy to announce my horror short story, A Trick, No Treat, was accepted for the Halloween issue of Sirens Call Publications. It is supposed to come out in October. You can check out their site here to get the news when it comes out.

Aug 3, 2020 - They say not to judge a book by its cover but I need you to do just that. If you liked the cover of my book, Haunted Surry to Suffolk: Spooky Locations Along Routes 10 and 460, please vote for it for the Cover of the Month contest on AllAuthor.com!
