Happy Halloween!

It's finally here - All Hallows' Eve - the day when many of us turn pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns, dress up as ghouls and princesses, pig out on candy, tell scary stories and watch horror films on TV (or hide inside with the lights off reading, hopefully, a great book!). For the Here Be Magic authors, it's also time to award one last treat and announce the grand prize winner of our Halloween Party Extravaganza!

Before we do so, I think I speak for all of us here at Here Be Magic in saying our thoughts and well wishes go out to any and all of our readers who were in the path of Hurricane Sandy this week. We hope you all are safe, dry and warm.

Now, for those who have been awaiting our grand prize announcement, well, what are you still waiting for? Adjust your costume, grab a cup of punch, and gather around.

First, we'd like to congratulate the winner of our Week 5 giveaway. Rene Swanberg, or the person of her choosing, will be forever immortalized in an upcoming book from R.L. Naquin. Congratulations, Rene!

Drum roll, please...

The winner of the e-reader (winner's choice of Kindle Fire HD/Nook HD) is Soha Molina! Congratulations, Soha! In addition to the e-reader, Soha will receive a gift basket of swag from Here Be Magic authors and a selection of free e-books.

I'd personally like to thank all of the authors who contributed to our prizes in October, and the following authors for sponsoring the grand prize:

Joely Sue Burkhart
Angela Campbell
Ruth A. Casie
Seleste Delaney

Now let's crank up "Thriller" and see who among us remembers the moves, then we'll bob for apples! There's a few hours left to party hard. Won't you join us?
