As you all know, this blog – Brainpan Leakage – is mostly for me to blow off the silly that runs around in my head, along with the occasional opinion piece. However, since the #COFFINHOP only has a couple of days left, I thought I’d post about it over here as well…

AND SO, LET’S GET TO THE #COFFINHOP!

1. Links for a free e-book, discount codes on other e-books, and entry into the book giveaway can be found after the daily Halloween picture…

In honor of said bouncing about betwixt coffins – what with this being all about Halloween and such – I am going to toss some silliness out there each day. It may be a picture of costumes from some of our more legendary parties, or it may be something altogether textual… say, for instance, why I actually like candy corn. You just never know. HOWEVER, there are a couple of things which shall remain the same throughout:

1. The strong – and I do mean STRONG – suggestion that you HOP around to all of the coffins on the circuit. You can do this very easily. Simply click on the COFFINHOP Badge below (the pumpkin impaled by a stiletto, courtesy of my wife) and there you will find all sorts of information, including a list of the COFFINS (author blogs) on the web tour. Each of these fine authors has something to say about Halloween – maybe scary, maybe informative, maybe funny… you just never know. However, you owe it to yourself to swing by and scream trick-or-treat, because not only will you discover a whole slew of new authors, most – if not all – of the stops will have a chance to enter contests for spectacular prize type stuff: Autographed books, swag, and what have you… So, DO IT, or I’ll let my wife get hold of you, and you can already see what she’s capable of doing to a poor, defenseless Jack-o-Lantern that she liked. Just imagine what she might do if she’s angry…
2. I will be running a contest here on M R LAND as my part of the COFFINHOP. See details after each day’s Halloween oriented post (as in, keep scrolling down). Right now I will definitely be giving away an ARC of IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER (due in bookstores 11/18), and even some selected books from the Rowan Gant Series, both paperback and electronic.

Sorry, Folks, but today’s Brainpan Leakage isn’t of the funny, analytical, or current events type. Actually, it is just a final reminder. I’ve been telling everyone on Facebook for a solid month now that I am doing away with my “profile” and using the “Page” as my presence on the Social Networking site.

Most everyone “gets it,” some don’t, some are angry about the decision. Oh well, can’t please everyone now can I?

However, my point with THIS blog entry is this – Today is the last day the profile will be live. As of tomorrow it will be deactivated. So, here is the final bell. Obviously, you can still go “Like” the M. R. Sellars page even after the deactivation of the profile. I am merely putting this out there so that when people email me and say, “I had no idea!” I can point and say, “Why the hell not? I warned you…”

And so, GRAPHICALLY Speaking:

PROFILE NO

https://www.facebook.com/not there no more…

PAGE YES

https://www.facebook.com/SellarsMR

With luck I will return you to your regularly scheduled leakage 9/4/11…

More to come…
