Celebrate Halloween all month long at N. N. Light’s Book Heaven’s annual Trick or Treat Book Bonanza. There will be 33 books and 24 authors featured, plus a $100 Amazon gift card giveaway. You’ll also find out what these authors’ Halloween costumes would be, including mine!

On October 24, the spotlight will be on the second of The Gothic Gwyn Mysteries, Let No Clan Put Asunder. In related news, I’m working hard on the third book, Whistle While You Lurk, when I’m not working extra hours at The Witch House here in Salem, Mass. This is our busy season…CRAZY busy! If you’ve read the series, you know it’s set in Salem, which could arguably be called the “Halloween Capital of the World.”

Keep an eye on the festivities all month long at https://www.nnlightsbookheaven.com/trick-or-treat-book-bonanza, and be sure to enter the giveaway. The winner will be chosen November 1, 2024. Good luck!

Happy Halloween!

The big day is finally here, and Salem, Massachusetts is buzzing with excitement. After a full month of helping to create Halloween for thousands of tourists at The Witch House (the 17th-century home of witch trials judge Jonathan Corwin), I’m looking forward to a quiet night indoors, recharging my “batteries” and watching scary movies with my family.

I might also write a bit more of the second Gothic Gwyn mystery today. I’ve been working so many hours at The Witch House, I’ve had little time for my writing. Thankfully, that’s about to change!

Take care, stay safe, and have a magical Halloween! 🙂

Happy October! The weather has turned chilly, and here in Salem, Massachusetts, we’re already packed with tourists.

All that aside, I’m inviting you to check out the Spooky Halloween Bookish Giveaway at N. N. Light’s Book Heaven. There are more than thirty prizes this month! I’m giving away an e-copy of the complete Guardians of Erin YA paranormal series. If you’re a fan of the paranormal and/or Ireland, this prize is right up your alley!

See all the prizes here. If you want a particular one, be sure to mention it when entering the giveaway.

Happy Halloween! It’s my favorite day of the year, but wouldn’t you know…I’ll be working all day. Thankfully, I enjoy my job as a tour guide at The Witch House, the 17th-century home of Jonathan Corwin, one of nine judges for the Court of Oyer and Terminer during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. We’ve been sold out all month, and I’m guessing today will be a bit (if not a lot) crazy!

Stay safe and enjoy yourself! 🙂

Happy Halloween!

Today is my favorite holiday: Halloween!  It’ll be a busy one, too, despite the rain.  I’m working all day at The Witch House, the 17th-century home of one of the 9 judges during the 1692 Salem Witch Trials.  All month long, tourists have been asking me if there’s paranormal activity in the house (80% of which is original to 1675).  I’ve experienced quite a bit in the house…all good stuff, though.

Last October, I wrote a blog post about some of my experiences and one of the spirits I believe visits from time to time.  Since I wrote the post, many events have occurred to reconfirm what I wrote again and again.  If you’re new to my blog, click here to read that original post.

Time to get this day started.  The Joseph Vargo art above really sets the mood, doesn’t it?  Wishing you a safe, fun, and spooky Halloween!  🙂

A Release Date for NIGHT OF THE OWL and a Post about Salem, MA

The worldwide release date for Night of the Owl, the fourth of The Novels of Ravenwood, will be October 21, 2019!  It happens to be my husband’s and my 19th wedding anniversary and smack dab in the middle of Salem, MA’s busiest season!  Because I work at The Witch House and my husband works at The House of the Seven Gables, we’ll be right in the thick of things!

Speaking of Salem, author Kathryn Hills has written a wonderful post about it.  I’m one of the Salem residents she featured, and you can read it here.

That’s all for now.  I’ll let you know when Night of the Owl is available for preorder.  And I should have news about The Sword Unsheathed, the third book in my Guardians of Erin YA paranormal fantasy series, soon.

Wishing you a great Wednesday!  🙂

I’ve had a lot of deadlines lately!  August 1, I sent my editor the completed manuscript of The Sword Unsheathed, the third book in my Guardians of Erin young adult paranormal fantasy series.

Two days ago, I turned in the final galley for Night of the Owl, the fourth of The Novels of Ravenwood medieval romance series.  I hope to reveal the cover for that book soon!

Today, I’m working all day at The Witch House (the 17th-century home of Jonathan Corwin, one of the 9 judges during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692).  But tomorrow, I’ll be listening to–and marking corrections for–18 chapters’ worth of audio files for the audiobook of The Stone Awakened, the RONE Award-nominated second book in my Guardians of Erin series.

So there’s a lot going on!  I’ll have more news soon.  In the meantime, I’m wishing you a lovely day and week ahead.  🙂

I’m a guest on author Sorchia DuBois’s blog today, and the post is all about the paranormal…specifically, activity at The Witch House, the 17th-century landmark where I work.  If you didn’t catch my October post about the goings-on there, you’ll want to check it out here!

We’re also giving away five e-copies of The Cauldron Stirred in anticipation of the release of The Stone Awakened (Book 2 in the series).  You can enter the giveaway through midnight on December 21, the perfect date because the winter solstice plays an important role in the second book!  The winners will be announced later that day on a follow-up post, which will feature an excerpt from The Stone Awakened.  Enter the giveaway here!

Hope to see you there!  🙂

The Stone Awakened, the second book in my Guardians of Erin young adult paranormal fantasy series, is now available to read and review on NetGalley through December 15, 2018.  If you’re interested and haven’t read the first book (The Cauldron Stirred) yet, send me a message, and I’ll set you up with a copy!

Here’s the link to NetGalley:  https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/154273

Besides all the prep work for this upcoming release, I’m busy writing Night of the Owl, the fourth book in my medieval romance series, The Novels of Ravenwood.  I’m also working limited hours at The Witch House, and last night, I helped out with a couple of the food tours which are part of the “Christmas in Salem” event this weekend.  Salem’s period homes are looking lovely and festive, especially The House of the Seven Gables!

Well, I’m off to help my family decorate our home for Christmas.  Wishing you a relaxing weekend and a fun holiday season ahead!  🙂
