Paranormal Excuses and Rationalizations

I hate to be late. 

I’m an early-bird, over worrier, plotter and planner when it comes to tasks. That’s why being late for my post today makes me wince. Especially when the summer seems to be flying by with record speed and I seem to have used up all excuses about why I’m not as on top of things as I usually am. 

Therefore, it must be something more. Something magical or sinister that’s interfering with my timeliness. It seems I haven’t used up all my excuses after all. Not if the reason or excuse for being late is due to something paranormal.

My post is late because…

•       As a vampire I mix up night & day
•       I sprained my wrist mixing my cauldron
•       The only date I remember is the full moon
•       I planned to time travel back & post it early
•       I lacked the ability to type with my paws
•      The devil made me do it…really
•       I was busy writing new spells
•       Someone cursed me & I had to reverse it
•       It got lost when I sent it telepathically
•       I was blinded by my aura
•       I accidentally ate it while in my shifter form
•       The ghost kept me up & I was too tired 

Don't Be Too Late for This Sale

My post might be late but it’s not too late to catch this .99 cent sale for Not a Chance if you hop on your broom, teleport or get those fingers on the keyboard before the sale magically disappears.

 NOT A CHANCE is on sale for .99cents for a limited time.

Not a Chance in book #2 in The Enchantlings series, so if you want to start Hope's journey from the beginning then don't forget to pick up Destiny Calling—two books for under $8.

Hope just wants to be normal—too bad that will never happen.

The last thing Hope Hallows wants is to become the latest headline. Living in a town that likes secrets, she prefers to keep hers hidden. Avoiding a nosy reporter’s questions about her ability to infuse euphoria or despair with a single touch, and those who crave this bliss, is nothing new. But having her brother’s annoying girlfriend, Berta, go missing is—especially when it makes Hope suspect number one. 

As a triplet, her resemblance to her beloved dead sister causes her family to grieve even more, and her escalating supernatural skills makes Griffith, her half-human-half-Oppressor boyfriend, wary. He wants to put his unsavory past behind him—this could include Hope—since her abilities remind him of the Underworld. 
In her desperate search to find Berta, she stumbles across a tunnel. Phantom voices within whisper that evil has been waiting for a new leader—and isn't she lucky, they've chosen Hope.

Bring It Back(List) – Grandma Must Die by Maureen L. Bonatch

Everyone loves a Grandma. 

Unless, of course, she's infected with a deadly contagious spell.

On Sale for .99 cents for a limited time

She's a witch hunting a spell. He's hunting witches and falling for her.

Carman has worn out more towns and last names than impractical shoes protecting the secret of her magic blood. But when a friend goes missing, and another is infected with a deadly spell, Carman must choose. Expose her magic blood by curing the spell—or stop the infection from spreading by killing the source…the grandmother.

Magic bounty hunter Dylan has scoured libraries of banned magic paraphernalia seeking a method to distinguish genuine witches from impersonators. He suspects unorthodox librarian Carman might hold this information tighter than the hair he’s dying to unleash from her bun. With a past as hidden as his sleeve of tattoos, Dylan discovers he’s been used to gain Carman’s trust and their passion risks more than mixing mortals and magic.

Excerpt

…once she’d started Carman couldn’t stop,

the book beckoned. Pressing its spine against her palm, begging her to search within the pages to find the answers she’d unconsciously sought her entire life. As she lifted the book, her scalp tingled and her hair elevated like a halo.

“Whoa.” Dylan shielded himself with his hands. “Put it back, slowly, because this is reminding me too much of the incident with the chest. Having my apartment blown up from magic isn’t covered in my rent.”

The plastic evaporated in a puff of smoke in Carman’s hands and the book unsealed with a sigh. She smiled, the welcoming warmth emanating from within its pages against her palms. Why had Mother kept her from this? This is what she’d been waiting for.

As curiosity overtook his common sense, she detected Dylan’s cautious approach. He stood close enough to peer over her shoulder into her book, but far enough away to avoid touching her.

After the shockwave the last time their skin met, he probably worried he’d ruin another pair of pants. Carman closed her eyes, absorbing the power from the book. The delicious feeling evoked a sensation like melting chocolate, sweet and satisfying.

“I remember hearing about her, Esmeralda Wrath. I wonder if this was her book?” Dylan’s warm breath caressed her shoulder.

Carman opened her eyes and examined the page. To stare right at a photo of the most powerful witch of all time…her grandmother.
