Lady Winnifred Chaserton sports a crossbow and takes off into the woods alone at night looking for a secret knoll. Her grandfather has warned her not to venture out of the castle, but her curiosity spurs her on. But after a while she realizes she is being stalked by a wolf – or as legend has it, Lord Hugh de Bar who shapeshifts into a wolf at night.

Lord Hugh de Bar and some of his siblings have been cursed by the old witch, Hecuba. At night, he shifts into the form of a wolf, to join his brother, Arnon who has been cursed as well. They vow vengeance against not only the witch but the man who made them this way. And now the man’s granddaughter is alone at night in the woods, wearing the strong scent of the hated man’s cape.

Will justice be served or will the granddaughter of Hugh’s greatest enemy be his weakness once he tastes her sweet lips?

Halloween is a great time for tricks as well as treats. My favorite treat this time of year is spiced cider. It is simple and easy to make. Just fill a small crockpot with apple cider, throw in 4 – 5 cinnamon sticks, and about a dozen cloves and let it simmer. Great for those cool autumn nights!

Rose’s Reads, New Audio, Conference Fun!

The Rose’s Read for All Hallow’s Eve this week for only 99 cents/KU reads free, is The Caretaker of Showman’s Hill. If you like vampires, this book is for you. It’s a novel inspired by a true story of a circus train wreck that happened near Hammond, Indiana, back in 1918.

A circus train was pulled over at 4 am, trying to fix something that overheated. Behind them, an engineer of a freight train fell asleep, plowing into the back of the circus train. The sleeper cars were near the back, and over 50 performers were killed. The cars were made of wood and the gas lighting caught fire, making things even worse.

The deceased performers were buried at Showman’s Rest in the Woodlawn Cemetery that is close to where I live in Illinois. I’ve been to the cemetery and seen the grave markers of the fat man, clowns, trapeze artists, and more, with stone elephant markers atop them. Rumors say the area is haunted and you can hear the elephants wailing at night, even though no animals were killed in the crash and none are buried there. (See my booktrailer video that follows. I’ve incorporated my own characters into an actual graveyard scene. Spooky, right? What else would you expect for Halloween?)

Basil Wensilton III is a vampire, hundreds of years old. He’s one of the victims of a circus train wreck – one of the unlucky performers that didn’t die, but turned into a vampire instead. He is the Caretaker of Showman’s Hill Cemetery, watching over a secret potion, as well as a lair of other vampires from the circus train.

Cassie Briggs is a reporter who comes snooping around the cemetery on a mission, looking for her missing sister. Instead, she finds an old bordello made into a bar, and run by a very mysterious, yet handsome man who only seems to show up at night. Danger and attraction run strong between a two-hundred-year-old vampire and an innocent young woman in The Caretaker of Showman’s Hill. Pick up your copy today for only 99 cents/KU reads free!

 

(In the booktrailer video, the house you see is an actual abandoned house in Michigan that I turned into Basil’s lair!)

The book is available only through amazon at this time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, to tell you why this post is late: I just returned from the InD’Scribe conference. Although, I didn’t win the coveted RONE award, I had a few good friends who did. We had a great time at the costume ball as well. Here are a few photos I’d like to share with you. I was Lady Elizabeth for a night! You’ll see authors Alexa Aston, Meara Platt, myself, and Victoria Vane in the photo. There was also a huge book signing where I met a lot of wonderful readers!
