Happy Friday the 13th, friends! To celebrate such a day in horror, you can read THEY’RE WATCHING by Michael David Wilson and Bob Pastorella free-of-charge on Amazon Kindle. This is the first time we have run a Kindle promotion for They’re Watching. The promotion is live right now and will stay open until Tuesday, September 17, 2024, 11:59 PM PDT. You could read all the details about the promotion here but honestly, it's just as simple as it's free on Amazon worldwide and you can get it in one click, so here are links to just a few Amazon sites to grab THEY'RE WATCHING. They're Watching on Amazon US They're Watching on Amazon UK They're Watching on Amazon JP Bob and I would love it if you were to add it to your Kindle. We really want more people to discover this story we worked so hard on. Additionally, the more people who pick it up for free, the more it will bring attention to THEY'RE WATCHING as it climbs up the Amazon rankings. So please pick up a copy for yourself and encourage a friend (or two or three) to do likewise. THEY'RE WATCHING was released a few weeks before I experienced the worst two years of my life so I didn't get to promote it as well as I wanted to but this is a second chance. Thank you in advance for all your support and I hope you love it.

I was speaking with a friend recently who said they were working for hours on end every day and still felt like they didn’t have time for everything. It’s a common concern and one I empathise with a great deal. It was over ten years ago when I realised I would never do everything I wanted to in a day. I was doing these insane workdays, staying up almost all night in this desperate attempt to get my to-do list finished. The do-list included writing tasks, This Is Horror tasks, podcast tasks,...
