Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year! Ghouls, witches, goblins, ghosts, vampires and werewolves galore. You name the monster or paranormal creature, betcha it shows up around Halloween! This last weekend my husband carved our pumpkin. What do ya think? Pretty ghoulish, isn't it? The kids love it! My second son just celebrated his 4th birthday on Sunday, so he was pleased to have the pumpkin as part of his Halloween Birthday Party. He also had a green and black googly eyeball birthday cake (his idea, not mine!). 

 Dressing up for Halloween is always great fun! Here my husband and I are on our way to a costume party, the entertainment being the band he plays in as singer and bass player, called Mystagen. I love their music!

And, of course, as a paranormal romance author, I love reading spooky stories, especially during this time of year. I love curling up on the couch with a steaming mug of hot apple cider, watching the wind blow colored leaves across the yard while I read a spooky novel that makes the hair on the back of my neck rise and my heart pound from fear and suspense. Lucky for us, there are plenty of great stories to read! 

Here's a quick look at two of my favorites...(okay, you got me, they're both written by moi...but I still think they're quite good!):

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.
