Barry Hoffman: I do have a freebie I can make available on a limited basis -- a chapbook with the prologues to my first two novels (in a continuing series). HUNGRY EYES was published in 1997 and received a Stoker and International Horror Guild nomination for best first novel (though it has components of a
mystery/thriller/dark suspense). The book will be available in paperback
October 13. The sequel EYES OF PREY is available as a signed limited
hardcover. Opening chapters can be viewed on my website and I will answer any
questions sent via email or on the website. The chapbook, which I will sign,
contains the prologues from both books. 55-cents in postage should be sent. I
will provide the envelope.

email - jonnie@netcom.com.

and Others) - also free for the asking. To find out why the "Nuns,
