Halloween doesn’t have to have an age limit. Even though
some neighborhoods forgo the traditional costume wearing and trick or treating,
or put an age limit on it, that doesn’t stop some of us.
It could be that there’s
something about the leaves starting to change colors, the air getting cooler and the
plethora of spooky movies filling the movie and television screen that makes us
want to join in the festivities.
Or maybe it’s just me?
Have you taken advantage of the month of October to:
- Stock up on a plethora of edible treats for the cute little
trick or treaters…or for us, admit it, most of the candy is for us
- Dress up as something scary, sexy, funny, or whatever
strikes your fancy—no limits!
- Scare our friends and family
- Neglect housecleaning and leave some cobwebs—they're just festive decorations!
- Binge watch scary movies
- Devour every book related to magic, fantasy and horror
- Share ghost stories
Need Some Help Getting Into the Spirit of the Season?
If you like ghost stories that might tempt you to leave a
light on at night, or to tread a little more carefully through the house, check
out my book Evil Speaks Softly.
They were never supposed to meet. Fame came easy for Liv by
following in the footsteps of the female writers in her family. The cycle
repeated for decades…until Liv changed the story. Her villain doesn’t like the
revision—and he isn’t a fictional character. In his story, the bad guy always
wins.
They were never supposed to find love. Liv never questioned
her demanding nocturnal muse, or the strange incidents in her old, family home
until she met Gage. His job was to watch her from afar, not reveal the truth
about the curse and the stories of the dead.
They’ve broken all the rules. Together they unravel secrets
as they strive to stop the cycle. Liv’s ability to find love, and protect her
loved ones, hangs on the fickle whims of the dead—and they’ve got nothing to
lose.
Look Halloween in the Eye and Laugh?
If you prefer to keep the humor in Halloween and find the fun in
all things magical, check out my book, Grandma Must Die.
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.
