Robert “Sharky” Pruneda is a native Texan, video game “enthusiast” [addict], and fan of all things horror. He left a career in the newspaper industry in 2011 to pursue the life of a nocturnal author, brainstorming new and creative ways to creep out his readers. He doesn’t only write horror though. He also pens the occasional family-oriented tale just to keep from going completely nuts with all those creatures of the night whispering in his ears. When he’s not pulling ideas out of his twisted brain, you’ll likely find him on social media or fighting alongside his fellow gaming buddies where they all get shot up into Swiss cheese (or turned into little bite-sized chunks because of “Sharky’s” obsession with explosives). Medic!

FREE ARC of Devil’s Nightmare (Forsaken Edition)

Posted: June 17, 2015 in Book Promotions, Book Reviews, Booktrope, Fiction, Forsaken, Horror, Mystery, Reviews, Thrillers

DevilsNightmareBanner

That’s right. You read the headline correctly. My manager and I are looking for some folks who are interested in getting their hands on this awesome new Forsaken Edition of my Amazon best-selling supernatural occult horror Devil’s Nightmare. I originally released this novel as an independently published author, and I have been honored by the amount of support I’ve received over the past couple of years. As a new author in the horror industry, it’s hard to describe how it feels to know that thousands of people all over the world have read and enjoyed what I’ve written. Some haven’t, of course, but that just comes with the territory. And that’s okay, because it’s unrealistic to believe everyone will love what you write. I am pleased to know that the vast majority of my readers have enjoyed reading Devil’s Nightmare, though. And that is what helps make this journey so enjoyable. For that, I thank you.

One of the most exciting things that happened to me this year was the opportunity to sign a contract with innovative hybrid publisher Booktrope, and through their horror imprint Forsaken, I have been able to work with a team of very talented professionals to make Devil’s Nightmare even better. And on July 15, Forsaken will publish the second edition, professionally edited, and with a kick-ass new cover that fits the story perfectly.

Devil's Nightmare Street Team Invitation

Devil’s Nightmare currently has 114 reviews on Amazon, with a 4.1-star average rating, and has been exclusive to Amazon since the summer of 2013 through their Kindle Direct Publishing Select program. However, when we relaunch the Forsaken Edition of Devil’s Nightmare on July 15, we’ll be adding Barnes & Noble and Apple iTunes to our list of e-retailers, thus ending the exclusive e-book deal with Amazon. The Forsaken Edition of Devil’s Nightmare will also be available in paperback format.

Please join us in celebrating the Forsaken Edition release of Devil’s Nightmare. We are requesting reviews from readers, blogs, and fans. You will be provided an advance reader copy (ARC) of Devil’s Nightmare for your enjoyment. If you’re interested in reading and reviewing Devil’s Nightmare, please tap or click on the link below and we’ll transport you to a secure Google sign-up form. Thank you in advance, and I hope you enjoy reading Devil’s Nightmare.

Yes, I would like to receive a free Advance Review Copy of Devil’s Nightmare!

Devil’s Nightmare (Forsaken Edition) Coming Soon!

Posted: June 3, 2015 in Book Promotions, Booktrope, Forsaken, Horror, Mystery, Publishing, Social Networking, Thrillers

I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off this exciting news than with that awesome trailer that S.E. Rise created for me. For those of you who also follow me on Facebook and Twitter, you may have seen me post things about a special project I’ve been working on for the past few months. Today, I’d like to officially announce that I have signed with Booktrope’s Forsaken Imprint to re-launch my best-selling horror novel Devil’s Nightmare worldwide on multiple platforms. So, what exactly does this mean? Well, for starters, Devil’s Nightmare has gone through a professional edit, cover redesign, and will no longer be exclusive to Amazon. Devil’s Nightmare will still be the kick-ass story that readers have enjoyed since I published it as an indie in 2013 . . . just better and distributed to a much wider audience. If you haven’t read Devil’s Nightmare yet (shame on you!), look for the new and improved “Forsaken Edition” on July 15.

Now, this is where you come in. We need your help to spread the word about the re-launch of Devil’s Nightmare. We’re looking for people who are interested in joining an exclusive social marketing team dedicated to providing feedback and helping spread the word about Devil’s Nightmare. As a member of the launch team, you’ll not only receive a free electronic edition of the book before it’s available to the public, but also gain behind-the-scenes access to me and the rest of the Devil’s Nightmare Creative Team via a secret Facebook group. We’ll definitely keep you entertained! In return, all we ask is you leave an honest review of Devil’s Nightmare, share the release date and your feedback with everyone and anyone you may know, and give us your input on how to reach a wider audience.

Interested? Awesome! Please send your name & email address to my marketing manager at Melissa.Flickinger@Booktrope.com or contact me HERE.

Thank you!

Blog Exchange: Emily Stone Thriller Series

Posted: October 17, 2014 in Blog Tours, Book Promotions, Fiction, Guest Bloggers, Thrillers

Today, award-winning author and criminologist Jennifer Chase and I are doing a little blog exchange. She’s taking over my site and I’m taking over hers to cross-promote our novels. To start things off I’ll dim the lights so Jennifer can show off her kick ass cinematic book trailer.

Crime has a new nemesis and her name is Emily Stone. She will continue to hunt serial killers and child abductors as long as they are out there.

This is her life. Tag along with vigilante detective Emily Stone in a first time ever “live action” novel short film. Be sure to watch it full screen, turn up the volume, and enjoy.

Check out the Award-winning EMILY STONE THRILLER SERIES available at Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, iTunes, Smashwords, and most online and book retailers.

Devil’s Nightmare: Premonitions is Now Available Worldwide

Posted: October 14, 2014 in Book Promotions, Fiction, Halloween, Horror, Mystery, Thrillers

The wait is finally over! Devil’s Nightmare: Premonitions, the much anticipated sequel to the Amazon bestselling Devil’s Nightmare is now available to purchase worldwide. If you pre-ordered it, Amazon should have automatically pushed it to your Kindle. If not, be sure to sync your device to check for new content.

For the rest of my readers, I’ve included all of the buy links below. If you haven’t read Devil’s Nightmare (Book 1) yet, you can get it for the bargain price of only 99 cents on Kindle to get you hooked. Premonitions is only $2.99. If you don’t have a Kindle, you can still read my books with the free Kindle Reader App. For those who prefer the classic format, the print version of Devil’s Nightmare: Premonitions will be available soon on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other online retailers, but it is available to order direct from my printer CreateSpace.

Sequel to the Amazon bestselling horror Devil’s Nightmare, I’m bringing fans of the first novel another horrific thriller full of twists, chills, and a shocking conclusion. Two years have passed since Aaron Sanders retired from the Austin Police Department after what the media has called The Saint Hedwig Massacre. He moves his family out of the capital city to start a new life as a small town cop in Lost Maples, Texas, where the population count is updated more often than the murder rate. That bit of reputation is about to change when Aaron is once again caught in the middle of a mysterious investigation that has an eerie familiarity. This time, however, he is certain what is responsible for the violent deaths . . . Or is he?

Evil knows no boundaries and it is up to Aaron to figure out how to protect the residents of his community, and his family, from becoming its next victims.

Now available for Kindle (and Kindle Reading Apps):

Also available in paperback:

Barnes & Noble

Word-of-mouth is the best form of advertising, so if you are willing, I could use your help. Tell your friends and family about Devil’s Nightmare by sharing on Twitter and Facebook, sending smoke signals, or wearing a sandwich board. Every little bit helps. Thank you very much for your support and I hope you enjoy Devil’s Nightmare: Premonitions.
