back in the day
things were so easy
or so they seemed
back when songs danced
for the first time to video

nothing mattered
we didn’t care
we were invincible but now
the songs slow down
on slow motion video

so young, so free
far away was the understanding
of a word defined as worry
the world spun like records
on 78 speed.

back in the day
things were just a delusion
we didn’t see the reality
as the songs sang on
we still hum them sometimes

Best Selling Horror Author Will Be Signing For Hunger At Myrtle Beach Bike Week

Best Selling Psychological Thriller/Horror Author of The All-Soul’s Faire and Crows on the Cross; Kristy Tallman, will be on site with the Bikers Against Hunger group at Myrtle Beach Bike Week. Her goal is to sell enough books and gain donations to fill an 18-Wheeler with food for the hungry before she leaves.

Tallman will be signing at the Bikers Against Hunger Hardrock Café booth throughout the week. “I really want to fill a truck up for this organization even though I know it’s a very high goal. They are working so hard to feed not only the homeless, but also families who find themselves fallen on hard times. I’ve been there in my past and know how difficult it was to make ends meet, let alone afford to have a good amount of groceries in the house for my kids.”

The Bikers Against Hunger is a nationwide non-profit organization, they accept donations of food and monetary donations. This year at MBBW they will have ten booths spread out through the area. You can find a list of these on their MySpace page.

“Our goal is a continual supply of food to the pantries and outreach centers that we reach in these areas. Our vision is to reach out each year, with a world wide reach to feed the hungry.” said Pastor Brent Turnipseed. “We plan to feed on site as well have bike games, poker run, 50/50 raffle, auction, door prizes, music, something for everyone of all ages.”

Tallman will be donating 20% of the proceeds for every book she sells, while also collecting monetary donations, and she has extended her reach by using her MySpace page to set up a way to submit donations for those who can’t attend. At the end of the week she intends on handing Co-Founder Pastor Brent a check that will hopefully fill at least one 18-wheeler full of food. Beyond that, Tallman wishes to continue her efforts by helping to create a chapter for Virginia.

Donations can also be made via online or through the mail. Please check sites for details on how you can help.

A reviewer

I received my copy of Kristy Tallman’s, The All – Souls Faire, a few days ago. Unfortunately ~ just at the time my life gets hectic for a few days. Thankfully that time has now passed and I had the fortunate chance to sit back for a few hours and delve into this book. I couldn’t be happier that I had the time to finish this in a sitting!! Welcome to a small town where the locals don’t take kindly to strangers peering into their town business. To be a local in a small town it takes something that goes way beyond just residing there – something of which Detective Cole Bryant is about to learn the hard way. Investigating murder takes a bit of puzzle solving and more than that when all the people in town don’t want the towns dirty laundry aired and leave you with only partial whisperings of town legends. Toss in a cursed mountain, cops that go by their own code, an eccentrically sadistic family, a goats head in a corpse, and an intriguing medical examiner (just to throw a couple of kinks in Cole’s way of course) and you have one hell (just about literally) of a tale. So my suggestion would be to pick up your copy during this wonderful autumn time, curl up in your favorite reading chair and sit back for a tale you may chose to use in the future to scare your children with details of the Hick’s family. Enjoy this horror tale that will keep you thinking about it, especially late at night…Sherri Kirbis - Reader in Lititz, PA

The All-Soul’s Faire is my first novel. There is a sequel due out in October 2009 with an All-Soul’s Faire Festival to host the event.

A goat’s head staring back at Detective Cole Bryant from within the bowels of his latest victim sets forth a string of unnatural deaths among the teenagers that live in the shadow of the cursed North Mountain. Trying to solve the case only brings Cole closer to dark side where temptation, sex and sinful ways lure him into the world of a family whose backwoods morals aren’t simply a symptom of a forgotten age in time but the consequence of a centuries old pact made with the devil himself.

Available anywhere books are sold; online at Amazon.com & Barnes & Nobles Online as well as many other places online. It is available internationally as well through Amazon.com (Your country) and other international online venues.

It’s almost 1:30 am - 12 hours before the needles begin to dance upon my skin. Color will stream and soon a vision will appear…I will have a hard time sleeping tonight as it’s a bit like a child who might be going to Wonderland come morning…how sweet it is. It started with a simple thought, then meaning found its way to understanding as to why I am drawn so deeply to the symbolism of what will soon become art upon my wrist. Each tat I get is special to me for a reason only I sometimes can understand but that’s cool because it is my rendition of art, my body just a canvas of what appeals to me. My mother hates when I get tattoos because she wants her daughter to remain unmarked by the needles and I can understand her thoughts as my oldest daughter wanted to do all kinds of things to herself, piercings, tats but truth is I told her when she turned 18 it was her body to do with what she wanted. I remember the feeling my mother had and confess I held it too for my own children but at the same time I never stopped them from being who they are I just asked them to wait until they were old enough to understand what they were doing. Not that kids these days don’t have an understanding of what they want in life but just give it a bit of time - think it over - especially if it will be with you for a lifetime. That is why when I get a tat I start off with an image dancing around in my head, it means something but I’m not fully aware so I let the picture form itself into what it truly is. I carry some similar artwork to the art man Tom and I tell him what I see in my minds eye - he begins to draw the imagery I explained like magic and that is when I know it’s time. It’s right - it’s something I will understand, something I will cherish, something that means enough to me to wear it forever upon me. I am so excited for the hours to tick down - I’m getting tattooed at 1:30 pm - 12 hours and the pain will begin but the outcome will be the artwork that danced in my head for only me to see…I’ll show you the tat when it’s done and I wonder will you understand it’s meaning as I embrace it. Good night…..

Sweetest Dark Dreams…

Kristy

Well it’s not long till we head to Myrtle Beach Bike Week for my signing and food drive. We will be there from May 9-17th and during this time we will be collecting donations via 20% of the sales of my books, monetary donations and of course non-perishable food donations. The goal is to fill a truck with food.

The Bikers Against Hunger group will be doing many things while they are down there as they have two rides they will be on but I won’t be able to make the rides - My husband and his bike have to leave on Tuesday so unless one of the fellows from BAH want to ride me around then I will be at the booth. Ahem - John…Brother Brent?? Anyway there are 10 booths that will be spread out over a 60 mile stretch of beachfront properties. I’ll list them at the end of this message.

If you would like to donate funds to the cause because you can’t be there please use the paypal buttons on my MySpace. My website is in dire need of updating so please use the MySpace page to place your donations. They can be from a $1.00 donation to a million dollar one but all the funds will go to filling that truck.

If anyone knows where to post this information you can post it for me or send me a link that would help me in posting it in other places so that we get the most exposure we can. I’ve sent out press releases all over the area from radio stations to television stations to newspapers. Hopefully they will see the the need to put it out there for us.

It’s going to be a great week and I can’t wait - and btw this is my first bike week so that just adds to the excitement all together I will keep you posted through the week via my blog and be adding pics probably daily because my camera won’t hold but so many. Wish you could all be there for the fun but for those who can’t I’ll be bringing it to you as live as I can

I will be at this location:
