 Listen up, buddy. Listen, listen to me now. Sorry. Thanks for clicking the video. What's shaking? My name's Cam. Welcome back to another video. So listen, it has been a while since I had any of my actual writing available for you guys to read, not counting my Wattpad masterpiece and you know, the other one. That all changes though. That changes today because today the author tube anthology is officially available for purchase. That means that technically I'm an author again. So here is me wearing a fancy jacket. Local haunts is as far as I'm aware the first printed anthology that is made up entirely of author tubers. YouTubers who talk almost exclusively about writing. I may be wrong and if I am I'll be devastated, but I was honestly just happy to be considered to be a part of this. So anyway, here's the book. The link will be in the description below for you to go buy it if you want the Kindle copy or the physical book, but if you don't mind sticking around for just a bit and continuing to watch my beautiful face. I'd love to tell you a bit more about the book and about my short story in the anthology and just how it kind of came to be. In fact, you know what and I'm just deciding this now, but how about we do a giveaway as well? I'll get to that in a bit, but we'll do a giveaway. So I was going to wait until I had a physical copy of local haunts before I made this video just so I could kind of show you what the paperback looks like, but I don't have one yet. And and I figured I don't want to wait too long to make this video. So if you want to know what the actual paperback of local haunts looks like, here you go. That beautiful son of a gun that you just saw is R. St. Clair from Regina's Haunted Library. And she's the one who actually put all of this together completely at her own expense and effort and time. Which by the way, let's just take a moment to imagine what it would be like trying to corral 19 author tubers to work together to make an anthology. Yeah Check out Regina's channel Regina's Haunted Library. She's an absolute legend and she deserves a lot of credit for making this happen And here's something else as well. All of the profits for local haunts is actually going to charity. So that's pretty cool It's going to a charity called First Book, which helps facilitate education in low-income areas Which is obviously super important So I'm not saying you're a bad person if you don't buy the book But I'm gonna tell you a bit about the short story that I submitted to local haunts But before I do I just want to let you know Who the other authors are involved in this project because it's very possible that you know about them that you watch their videos As far as I'm aware, they're all on YouTube. So you may be familiar with them. All right Kevin David Anderson Cameron Cheney my mate Dane Cobain Mihalas Giorgio Stathis. I hope I said that right. Nicholas Gray Ed Lewis Andrew Lyle Mary McWilliams Lydia Piva Ken Poirier Ryan Stroud Michael Taylor DL Tillery Matt Wall Jason White Cam Wolf Cam Wolf strong name sounds like a legend Probably has a huge and CJ right the really exciting thing about local haunts is that like the name suggests All of the stories are based on local legends and mythology from where that author is in the world and all of us authors that are Involved of scattered pretty much all around the world So you're gonna get some really interesting and diverse and different stories with this anthology from my accent You're probably thinking oh He's French incorrect friend shockingly. I'm actually an Aussie. Yeah, I know Get a mate shrimps and Barbies and Hugh Jackman, etc Feel free to dispute me on this, but I don't feel that Australia has quite as good or quite as many Quality myths and legends as almost any other culture in the world So I did actually have some trouble making my pick for what I was gonna go with for my short story as Interesting as a ghost in plug is and in a Cooper hat may have been I decided to take my story in a bit of a different direction And I'm actually really happy with how it turned out for spoilers sake I can't really tell you exactly which Australian legend I went with for my story But what I can tell you is that my story is a bit of a tribute or a homage to vintage campfire horror and it's called alone among the gum trees, which is a bit of a cheeky reference for all the Australians watching so it's basically about a group of tourists who are camping in the bushlands of Western Australia and They're just having a good time hanging out by the fire and then they find out very quickly That there is something or someone else in the bush there with them. Yep, that's right tourists I Actually haven't read any of the other stories in the anthology yet So I'm just as excited as you guys are to read this one assuming that you are excited I mean, you should be excited Steve Buscemi is excited Can you imagine if I just uploaded a book review for local haunts?
