After doing the interview for Arrow’s re-release, Arrow finally sent me copies, as per our agreement. They did a fantastic job with this release. First rate. It has received great reviews. I really prepped myself for the interview, and it’s been so fun hearing your feedback. In the photo, I’m trying to be cool like the fans. But I just a dork. Fun to be part of a classic. Lucky Me.
I’m heading for the exit to walk out of The Actors Studio. By the door, sitting in the front row is Faye Dunaway with a boot on her foot for a broken foot. She’s kinda struggling to get up. No one notices. I give her my arm. “Darling, do you need some help?” Yes, I called her Darling.
She takes my arm, “Thank you, aren’t you sweet.”
“My pleasure,” She stands up, her arm in mine, like we’re on a date. “What did you do? Go skiing and break it.”
“No,” she looked at me like, don’t be silly. Well, I was, and she got it.
“I like your hat.”
She blushed, “Oh thanks.”
It’s good to find something in a woman’s out fit and compliment her on it.
She was wearing a cool fedora style hat, and she looked great, very thin, and I felt that she was fit , her arm entwined with mine was strong.
The whole time she had been quietly sitting in the front row, leaning forward, listening, looking back at another Actor Studio Member when they commented on the scene. I thought, my goodness, she’s an actress beyond accomplishment and she still comes here-to her roots. She’s the real deal, and loves this craft of acting with passion. I look forward to seeing her again.
I can’t tell ya what it’s for, because it’s a secret. Can you keep a secret? Some fun stuff I did for Creepshow 2. I think all the fans will dig it. Go to my Facebook or Instagram where I did a 6 second video. I’m honored to be a part of this.
Cheers,
Daniel Beer
Yes can call in anytime and leave a voice message question or call in live 1 508 413 3144. This will be fun. I’ll also go live Q&A via my Facebook Fan page. I really need the horror community and everyone else to order my book. You get $5 off when you order in on inkshares. https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-silence-of-remembering The quality of the novel, the depth of character development, and lessons held within the story makes it, without question, a wonderful book. Yes it is.
The horror community may have it’s fair share of arguments on who would win in a fight, Michael or Jason. Or maybe the conversation is what is the scariest film of all time. One thing the community can agree on is the cult classic status of the Creepshow films. Creepshow 2 was a solid sequel providing the same fun as the first. Now one of the actors, Daniel Beer from the segment The Raft is switching his horror gears and putting his efforts towards writing his first novel; The Silence of Remembering.
The Silence of Remembering tells the following story:
With her upcoming ten-year death remembrance, Twigs who has adjusted to purgatory returns home with her brother Alex, unable to hear her, she must help him confront the crippling memories blurred by a family secret the night of her tragic death or her worst fear will come true-she will never get to heaven. Through flashbacks, Twigs recalls her first friend she met in purgatory. Char-Char, an older girl who does her best to comfort Twigs in this in between place that doesn’t look or feel like purgatory. Gradually, Twigs begins to understand why she has been tied to her brother. The truth emerges, and she asks herself, “do I really exist?” Twigs, tells the story of this family’s slowly healing rift and how a person can navigate or postpone the grieving process. By all accounts her brother is on top of the world, a handsome young actor on the verge of stardom, having landed a role opposite Hollywood’s hottest young actress. Alex is on his way to becoming a teen heartthrob. His past and present collide, as he struggles through Hollywood parties, nightclubs, movie sets, paparazzi, and starlets, only to find he can no longer outstrip he past. Twigs, watches him plot his course, offering her love and encouragement. Her clear-eyed perspective helps Alex to acknowledge his loss, while possibly discovering a separate peace.
Asking existential questions, the novel is meant for adults in their mid to late 20’s. The entire story will unfold as man travels into adulthood and faces the challenge presented with an eerie twist. With the ever changing landscape of growing up, this novel is warmly welcomed and is set out to ease, entertain, and scare. In regards to the subject matter Beer goes on record stating “There are plenty of coming-of-age books for teenagers, and adult-mid-life crisis, but not many for the twenty-something in between years. With a haunting elegance, The Silence Of Remembering captures those twenty-something purgatory years.“
Currently the book can be pre-ordered through the website Inkshares in an e-reader, paperback, or personalized paperback. The first chapter of The Silence of Remembering is available through the pre-order website. Give it a read for yourself and if you like it be sure to support indie horror and give it a purchase. https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-silence-of-remembering

It’s much harder to talk about my writing than my acting, and films. I loved the challenge of making it interesting. Eric was a great host. I have to give a special thanks to Lee Karr for the introduction. For you all fans of my films, and TV shows I do discuss them too. When you order my debut novel, you can read a sample chapter, synopsis, and my bio. Pretty cool. You can order here https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-silence-of-remembering Here’s quote from my book.
WHEN I died, I didn’t see the long dark tunnel with a bright light at the end that would take me up above the clouds. For a moment, I thought it was just a dream, being in a coma and all, because when I awoke, I was back at my Victorian home on North Main Street in Honeoye Falls New York, a one-stop-light town named after the Seneca Indians, and the waterfall that once powered the old saw mill.
Look forward to your responses.

The link is to my interview on Tom Holland’s Terror Time for my novel. Quick correction it’s not a Horror Novel. It’s a Hauntingly Elegant Novel. Meaning the lead character is haunted by the death of his little sister Twigs. I’m thankful to Amy Humphries for interviewing me, she’s very cool, and for Terror Time spreading the word about my novel. I don’t think the horror community is limited in it’s taste. It is an intelligent, sensitive community that loves a great story. I know this from A Q&A I did at a Horror Con. Hope you enjoy the interview. Hope you pre order my novel. It will introduce you to people, places, emotions, and ideas you might not otherwise experience.
Here’s a quote from Twigs. ” Even now I don’t like to think about what happened
next; I slowly felt myself becoming a stranger. Then I thought that maybe I didn’t exist; I decided if I just stayed home something or somebody would probably come along and tell me where I should go next.”

I’ve done interviews in the past, talking about my film and tv work. Once I did a live chat interview, and that was so much fun fielding questions from fans. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I’d love to do some interviews about my new novel, The Silence of Remembering. Of course you can ask me questions about my acting work too. You can contact me on my Facebook fan page, the link is here on my WordPress. I’m in the process of being interviewed by the talented Amy Humphries , Media Marketing Director, Writer & Assistant Editor for Tom Holland’s Terror Time. It’s a print interview; Amy sent me questions. The process is really cool, and challenging. Amy is so trustworthy. She really is something special. I’m looking forward to posting it. Anyway here’s the link again where you can pre oder my coming of age novel .https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-silence-of-remembering
When you order it
INCLUDES, A SIGNED PAPERBACK COPY OF THE BOOK. AN EBOOK
I think it will become a collectible and increase in value. You see I’ve done Horror conventions, and signings.
P.S. I redesign the book cover. I’m not a cover designer, but I do think this one is better.
