Some Treats for Halloween!

Posted on by

Since Halloween is right around the corner, I’ve put some of my Halloween-based books on sale for only 99c each now through the 31st.

Today is release day for a NEW boxed set of 16 USA Today, and Bestselling authors, all with new historical novellas that feature a haunted castle. It is called The Ghostly Hour. My contribution to the set is called Highland Ghost. And yes, you’ll see some of my most memorable Highlanders returning to the story. 99c for the ENTIRE collection, or read it in Kindle Unlimited for FREE.

If you like vampires, shapeshifters and witches, you’ll want to pick up Familiar. A warlock in denial needs to save his cursed love who turns into a cat – his evil uncle’s Familiar each night. The Caretaker of Showman’s Hill was inspired by a real circus-train crash from the early 1900s. Basil Wensilton is a vampire watching over the cemetery, trying to keep his blood-thirsty vampire cousins from the sexy and snoopy reporter, Cassie Briggs who tempts him to want a bite too.

Ian is one of my crazy Highlanders who is being haunted by not only his turmoiled past, but also the fact that an enemy he’s killed and buried has come back to life on All Hallows’ Eve.

Living next to a graveyard and having dug up an old nursery rhyme book, Raven Birchfield and her friends find themselves turning into haunting nursery rhyme characters who have minds of their own. Written for young adults but enjoyed by any age, pick up Mary, Mary, Muffet and Blue from my Once Upon a Rhyme Series, for only 99c each to add to your Halloween reads.

If you love small town contemporary romances, you will love reading about the cowboy who can’t say no in Wrangling James. He is one of my bad boys of sweetwater. Meeting back up with Mindy MacAllister has him wanting to protect her and her daughter from the girl’s past that is coming back to threaten them all. Just 99c and the whole series is on kindle countdown.

Watch for another newsletter in a few days. I am part of a great multi-author Halloween hop where you can win prizes, one of them being $150 gift card.

Pre-Halloween Specials!

Posted on by

Halloween is right around the corner now that it is fall. It’s one of my favorite holidays. So, to celebrate,I have some pre-Halloween specials for you. I am giving away my book, Familiar for FREE thru the 12th. Slade Spencer is a warlock in denial, and his ex-girlfriend, Susie Vasilly has been cursed. Little does he know that by day she is a woman but by night she turns into Slade’s evil uncle’s cat – his Familiar.

This is Book 1 of my Dark Encounters Series. Be sure to pick up Book 2, The Caretaker of Showman’s Hill (vampire) and Book 3 Curse of the Condor as well. You can watch a video of me in the graveyard talking about my inspiration for writing Caretaker that was a circus train wreck back from 1918. Click HERE to view it on my facebook page.

I also wanted to remind you I have a few books releasing this month and they are both on preorder. Blue is Book 3 of my Once Upon a Rhyme Series where nursery rhymes get a little evil. It is written as a young adult book but can be enjoyed by all ages, so you don’t want to miss it. (This Series was inspired by the hidden meanings behind our favorite nursery rhymes.) Preorder your copy of Blue for only $2.99. It’ll be released on Oct. 16th. And be sure to read the first two books in the series, Mary, Mary and Muffet.

 

The second preorder is Keeper of the Flame: Orrick. This is Book 5 of my Second in Command Series where secondary characters from some of my series get their own stories. This story was one I loved writing and wanted to do for quite some time. It’s about Orrick, the old sorcerer from my Legacy of the Blade Series. Only, he’s not really an old man. He chose to stay in that shapeshifting form because he is immortal. When he watched his wife grow old and die many years earlier while he lived forever, he decided he never wanted to fall in love again. That is, until he meets Lady Hope searching for the Eternal Flame. He shapeshifts back into his young, handsome self to find out her intent, but never expects to fall for her. Preorder today for $2.99. It releases on Oct. 28th.

Halloween Treats – No Tricks!

Posted on by

This Halloween, I have chosen six of my books that either take place at Halloween or have some spooky things happening in them, and priced them at 99 cents for you.

Halloween first originated many years ago where it started as a pagan Celtic celebration called Samhain. There were no pumpkins in medieval England, but they carved gourds and lit them with candles to ward away the evil spirits. Children didn’t go trick-or-treating for candy, but they begged at doorsteps for soul cakes instead. Each cake eaten supposedly released a poor spirit from purgatory. The soul cakes had a cross on top and were filled with currants and spices. Click HERE to see a photo and get the recipe to make these ancient soul cakes.

The Caretaker of Showman’s Hill: This is a vampire romance inspired by a real life circus train wreck and the cemetery where the performers were laid to rest. I’ve visited this cemetery personally. Basil Wensilton III guards over a vial of potion, living in the cemetery keeping the other vampires at bay when snoopy reporter Cassie Briggs, comes looking for her missing sister.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Familiar:   Slade Spencer is a warlock in denial who comes back to his hometown to find that his past lover, Susie Vasilly is now a cursed woman who shapeshifts into his evil uncle’s cat – or Familiar each night. The villain’s three dozen cats were inspired by an old woman who once lived in my neighborhood and had tons of cats in her house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ian: (MadMan MacKeefe Series) Ian MacKeefe sees the face of a man he’s killed in the bonfire on All Hallow’s Eve. Little does he know that his best friend’s sister, Kyla has eyes for him but her future lies in an evil man’s hands instead unless Ian can change it. In this story you will find out how a lot of our Halloween traditions first got started.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lady and the Wolf: (Tangled Tales Series) Hugh de Bar has been cursed by an evil witch and shapeshifts into a wolf at night. One night he meets up with Lady Winifred (Red) Chaserton and her crossbow in the forest and finds out she is the granddaughter of the man who made him this way. This was inspired by the fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Pandora Curse: (Greek Myth Series) Vara the Conqueror is a ruthless warrior woman who has to lose her vices unknowingly, and Hera’s soothsayer son, Nicolai is the one to do it. Inspired by the Greek Myth of Pandora and the shows Xena and Hercules from many years ago. (You will love Baruch the shapeshifting minion that brings humor to this read.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Muffet: (Once Upon a Rhyme Series) Candy Willowsby is taken over by the ghost of Little Miss Muffet who is out for revenge. Inspired by the nursery rhyme, Little Miss Muffet as well as an old scary house in my neighborhood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pick up your Halloween Reads now because the prices will be changing right after the holiday in a few days’ time. All books are also available in print, and some in audiobook form as well. To find out more about these books or other books in each series please visit my website.

Happy a safe and happy Halloween everyone!

Onyx kidnaps the Englishwoman, Lady Lovelle, and takes her with him to the Highlands to search for a missing Book of Hours that he hopes will save his mother from being executed.

Aidan is the keeper of the Stone of Destiny, and uses it as his pillow. When he dreams of a bonnie Scottish lassie, Effie MacDuff, he never expects her to trick him and steal the stone from under him.

Ian has a dark and troubled past, and when he sees the face of his dead enemy in the Samhain bonfire on All Hallow’s Eve, he knows trouble is brewing. And when he realizes his best friend’s sister, Kyla, has eyes for him, it turns out to be more than just a crush.

Get your copy of Highland Madness before it is no longer free. And if you want to read about Onyx’s sisters, you can read the stories of Ruby, Sapphire, Amber, and Amethyst, as well as the Prequel of my Daughters of the Dagger Series. (KU reads free)

Familiar is the story of Slade Spencer, a warlock in denial, and his high school sweetheart, Susie Vasilly who he has no idea has been cursed and shapeshifts into a cat – his uncle’s Familiar each night.

Or if you enjoy a good vampire novel, you can read The Caretaker of Showman’s Hill that was inspired by a real-life circus train wreck.

But when the snoopy reporter, Cassie Briggs shows up looking for her missing sister, her virgin blood stirs the vampires, including himself in more ways than one. (KU reads free)
