About Me

My photo
Hello, my name is Ezra Holiday and I write horror and transgressive fiction. My first book, 'The Dead Dream Wakes' is out now. It's a fantastical tale of two people inexplicably drawn to an old run-down building in the fictional city of Bridgeport. As they uncover secrets about the building, their dreams and nightmares begin to spill over into reality, eventually leading them on a horrifying quest into the underground heart of the city where the truth about Bridgeport and themselves will be revealed. Think: Alice in Wonderland meets Cthulhu. Excerpt from The Dead Dream Wakes

Shaking off the winter blues.

Hibernation is a serious affliction for me every year around this time. Oddly enough I hibernate online as much as I do in the real world. Despite the wacky climate we're experiencing here in Oregon this year, I can feel the thaw coming and it's waking me up.

Couple of brief updates:

Work continues on the Bridgeport sequel. I estimate to be roughly 80% complete, but finding the time to write while attempting to do marketing is a pain. I understand quite nicely why some people avoid self publishing for that reason alone.

I'm going on a trip to Hollywood soon for a brief stint. In theory I plan to post up somewhere near the Academy Awards and try selling my book out of a suitcase. This is just as much to pull off such a stunt as it is for the money/exposure. My eccentric travelling companion wants to record me trying to woo the Southern California elite with my stories. We'll see.

I'm working on developing a Kickstarter project, potentially for making an audiobook. I'm currently looking at ACX for distribution. Neil Gaiman seems to vouch for them.

And lastly, I am committing myself to posting in this thing as often as possible.
