To My Readers:

As I type this a decision is being made on who the actor will be to play Jonas Taylor in the MEG movie. Meanwhile pre-production is in full swing, with crews arriving in New Zealand.

While they are flying to the land-down-under, I'll be heading to Arkansas on February 11 to 13th to sit in the A & M Publishing warehouse (I'm told there's a heater) where approximately 2,500 limited edition hardbacks await my signature -- all that remains from the original 5,000 first and only printing. I've never signed a 20th anniversary hardback before so my signature certainly adds to their value. I'm also including a 24 x 36 inch MEG surfer poster for free. That's the ANGEL package - $24.99 plus S & H. The postage is higher because the book and poster must be shipped separately in sturdy cardboard boxes and poster tubes so they'll arrive safe. (Rebel Press went cheap with plastic envelopes - A & M will only use boxes).

Buy Now
The SISTERS Package is an even better deal: Three 24 x 36 inch never-before-released posters of MEG: Primal Waters, Hell's Aquarium, and the eye-popping Nightstalkers cover - all for $33.99 plus S & H.

NOTE: The prices listed in the MEG store state shipping is FREE. It's not, but we have to list it this way to save you some $ on the flat rate.

4 REASONS TO ORDER ASAP

1. There will be NO SECOND PRINTING of hardbacks. If you purchased a MEG hardback and the movie is made, you'll have a souvenir that will go up in value. If you grab one of these soon-to-be signed copies - rarer still. WHY? Unfortunately, Parkinsons Disease and book signings do not blend well together. After this 3 day marathon signing in February, that's it.

2. After I sign the books, I'll sign as many posters as I can physically handle. FIRST TO ORDER THE SISTERS PACKAGES GET FIRST DIBS. So ordering TODAY is a good idea if you want to frame a signed poster. If not... no worries, the posters as is are incredible!

3. Once the books sell out the ANGEL package will be removed from the store.

4. Once we sell a certain number of SISTER packages, we'll only sell individual posters (still VERY WORTH IT!)

ONE LAST REASON TO BUY...

MEG 6: THE FINAL CHAPTER

No, that's not the name of the book, but it will be the last one... and it'll be something special. The storyline came to me about 6 months ago and I can't wait to get started..

MEG 6 CHARACTER CONTEST:

Anyone who purchased an ANGEL or SISTERS package is eligible to win one of 50 MINOR CHARACTER places & 6 MAJOR CHARACTERC PLACES. Your ORDER NUMBER is your lotto ticket.

MINOR CHARACTER CONTEST: 50 minor characters will be chosen.

If you bought 1 package then 3 of your order numbers will be placed in a jar for the March 1st drawing.

If you bought BOTH PACKAGES then 10 of your order numbers will be placed in a jar for the March 1st drawing.

And... if you purchase any package between February 1st & February 10th, you get the above PLUS A BONUS OF 5 more of your order numbers placed in the jar.

Finally, for every person you refer, you get 3 MORE numbers PER PERSON (you need to email me their order number AND YOURS after they order at [email protected] ).

MAJOR CHARACTER CONTEST: 6 Major characters will be chosen.

Eligible only for MEGheads who ordered both ANGEL & SISTER packages.

If you bought BOTH PACKAGES then 5 of your order numbers will be placed in THIS JAR for the March 1st drawing.

And for every person you refer who purchases BOTH packages, you get 5 MORE numbers PER PERSON (you need to email me their order number AND YOURS after they order at [email protected] ).

GO FOR IMMORTALITY! All major characters will receive signed MEG 6 hardbacks from me AND the last one who gets eaten in the series gets a special honor to be named later!

All contests aside, I promise you that you will love these posters.

With love and appreciation,

A man awakens in a driving rainstorm with no recollection of his life or how he arrived at his present location. His name is the only thing he remembers. He joins up with others experiencing the same lack of memory. They soon find themselves battling an environment filled with vicious and predatory creatures. The moment of clarity comes when they realize that the world and everything in it that has been trying to kill them are not what they seem. They finally come to the stark realization that they may have committed horrible acts for which they must soon atone.

Joke Of The Month
On a passenger flight, the pilot comes over the public address system as usual and to greet the passengers. He tells them at what altitude they'll be flying, the expected arrival time, and a bit about the weather, and advises them to relax and have a good flight.. Then, forgetting to turn off the microphone, he says to his co-pilot, "What would relax me right now is a cup of coffee and a blowjob." All the passengers hear it. As a stewardess immediately begins to run toward the cockpit to tell the pilot of his slip-up, one of the passengers stops her and says "Don't forget the coffee!"
