Hot Paranormal Nights Blog Hop with Tricia Schneider

Welcome Blog Hoppers!

I'm a fan of the paranormal. All the spooky things that go bump in the night and send shivers down my spine fascinate me. Add some history and romance to the mix and its a perfect combination.

That's why I love writing about the Merriweather Witches, a family living in Regency-era England. In this family, both males and females have inherited the magical skills of their mother. Since the death of their parents, the siblings have gone to live with their Aunt Petunia who cares and raises them as if they were her own children. They grow up under her tutelage, learning the magic she teaches and trying to find their way in a world where witches are still hunted and feared.

There are 7 siblings, each with a story to tell. They have adventures, learn valuable lessons, save lives and fall in love along the way.

Meet Lillian in The Witch and the Wolf...


Lord Jeremy North's curse is to become a werewolf during every full moon, turning into a bloodthirsty monster that kills with no remorse. When he finds a woman nearly frozen upon his doorstep, his sense of honor compels him to help her, even at the risk he might kill her himself.

Lillian Merriweather hadn't planned to get caught in a blizzard while traveling the English countryside. Nor had she planned on finding refuge in a house full of secrets. But Lillian has secrets of her own. And what she's running from is not far behind...

______________________________________________________________________

 
Melora Merriweather is searching for a fellow witch to protect her from a scheming uncle with plans of marriage. When her carriage overturns on her journey, she is rescued by a mysterious man whom she learns is the very person she seeks. But, he’s not the witch she thought he was…

Sebastian Collins should have left for London days ago. Now a snowstorm has trapped him with a woman who has come seeking protection, a woman who intrigues him like no other. And with each passing hour, his hunger for her grows…hunger for her kiss, her caress, and her blood.


______________________________________________________________________

These two Merriweather sisters have their stories told, but there are more to come! I love writing these stories and thrilled that readers have responded well to them and keep asking for more! 

Here's a sneak peek of the next Merriweather witch...

Meet Basil in The Witch's Thief...

Julia Grey is searching for a spell rumored to be hidden somewhere within Merriweather Manor. Taking a position as lady's companion to the elderly witch living there gives her the freedom to search. But time is running out. The necromancer she's bargained with is growing impatient with the delay, and the last thing she expects is a man from her past returning home....

Basil Merriweather returns to England after spending ten years abroad to find his childhood sweetheart now living in his home. But, things have changed between them. He's no longer the carefree man of his youth and she's keeping secrets...deadly secrets Basil vows to uncover.

Release Date: To be announced
