About me:
READ A NOVEL FOR CHARITY!

Here's the deal: download of copy of my unpublished thriller PARALLAX at this link. Give it a read, enjoy yourself. Then make a donation to Horizons for Homeless Children (a Boston-based charity helping homeless kids) by sending it to me via PayPal (my email for the donation is: zrem@earthlink.net). I'm hoping you'll send at least one dollar ($1) but you can send as much as you want. All proceeds (minus fees and expenses) go directly to the charity. Help Horizons for Homeless Children help more kids have a great holiday season this year and for many years to come!


I'm the author of over a dozen novels (so far) including five in my hard-boiled un-vampire vampire series, the Lawson novels. I'm one of the writers on the ROGUE ANGEL adventure series for Gold Eagle, contracted for eight novels thus far. I write mysteries, thrillers, and stuff with a supernatural element. Grab a copy of my latest mystery/thriller by clicking the cover image at left! I've also co-authored two non-fiction books, including my latest, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Ultimate Fighting.

I'm always down in NYC at least once a month for some cool gigs with other entertainment professionals - folks in film/TV and the music biz. Most of the time the events are in great clubs and bars, which means I get to listen to some great music while hanging with cool people.

Swing by my website (the redesign will be unveiled soon) at www.jonfmerz.com.

..
Who I'd like to meet:
Kelly Hu, Tia Carrere, Sung-Hi Lee, Catherine Zeta-Jones because they're all so amazingly hot. Who else...everyone on my friends list. I like interacting with people from all walks of life - everyone's got a story and I'm a sucker for a good tale. And yes, I love meeting beautiful women...especially women with amazing eyes.

I'm also very interested in hearing from entertainment biz professionals-writers, development execs, producers, directors, actors, musicians. Drop me a line! You never know, some day we might do some business together.

And while I love a good wine with dinner, my drink of choice is always Bombay Sapphire and tonic. There's no finer gin in the world!

Do not even think about requesting me to be your friend if all you do is send out "ADD THIS GUY/GAL" bulletins - in other words if you're whoring anyone, don't friend me. I just deleted several folks from my list. Too much to do and no time to waste on that idiocy.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!

There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.

Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."

And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:

“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.”
—Famous Monsters of Filmland

“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes

As you may or may not know, I turned twenty-five the other day. Instead of gifts this year, I'm asking everyone to join my Email List on www. jjhebert. net. Unconventional, my newest novel, will be published by Mindstir Media later this year, and joining the Email List will ensure that you receive updates regarding my book release, contests, giveaways, and more.

Hey,

I'm taking a break and watching the Red Sox desperately try to keep their season alive. I've got my first book signing for A Demon Awaits on Saturday.

How are you?

Good Morning.

It's a rainy Saturday here. Hannah just arrived and it looks like we're going to get some much needed rain (all day).

I'm almost done with edits for A Demon Awaits and I'm taking a couple days off before reading it one last time.

Have a great one,
CJ
