This is something of a biggie...

I just finished my fourth horror novel. I'm shopping this one around to agents. Should that fail, I have a contract with Tease PUblishing waiting for me. This book WILL be published, either through a large press or a small press. Your quote will see the light of day.

What I really would LOVE is a professional (who has a google-able name--author, filmmaker, whatever, as long as your name is publicly connected to horror in some form!) in the horror industry to read the book and give me a quote for the book cover! This book WILL be published, either through a large press or a small press. Your quote will see the light of day.

It's about 130K words long.

Here's the blurb...

Plagued by vivid, violent hallucinations, a recovering drug addict desperately seeks the truth. Are her waking nightmares a product of her self-medicating, or dire supernatural warnings?

Tamsyn Hallert, an artist, exists in a vicious circle of addiction and recovery, fueled by her husband Sean’s long-time secret affair. The affair ended in his lover's bizarre suicide, but not before she left a surprise on Tam and Sean’s doorstep—Kevin, the son Sean never knew he had.

Sean moves them to the country, to his familial home near the crumbling Wraithborne Estate, the massive old house with a terrible mythos. The twisted attempt to save their marriage only makes matters worse as Sean’s obsession with his dead lover deepens, and Tam’s grip on reality grows more tenuous. A horrific plot to summon the dark spirits that possess the Estate comes to light, with Tam, Sean, and Kevin in the center of it all. Will Tam be able to save her family, or will the lure of the spirits’ promises be too strong to resist?

If anybody has some free time and wants some publicity, let me know! Email me at asublimedelight @ aol. com. I can never seem to get into my private msgs here.

It generally either loops me right back to the main page. Occasionally I do get into the mailbox thingie, but I can't reply to anything.

has it always been that way? I am trying to figure out if this is a recent bug or trouble with the module altogether

I don't recall exactly when, but it started when something about the way the forums/website changed.

I can get private messages when somebody hits the little mail thingie, but not any that go to the PM box here in my account.
