Ghostly Clues by Kay LaLone

Blurb
The sweet scent of lilacs permeates the air around Grandma’s gravesite. Only Sarah Kay can smell Grandma’s favorite flower, and they’re not even in bloom.
Sarah Kay and her best friend, Mary Jane, believe the lilacs are a sign from Grandma’s ghost. The girls follow one ghostly clue after another, uncovering a secret that Mom never wanted Sarah Kay to know. Grandma makes sure Sarah Kay gets the message even from the grave. As the evidence piles up, Mom still refuses to accept the possibility Sarah Kay’s father is alive.
Sarah Kay finds Dad’s parents. A set of grandparents she didn’t realize existed. They make it clear her father is alive but days and miles separate the father and daughter reunion because Dad is a truck driver on a long haul. Sarah Kay waits. The news reports a fatal car accident involving a semi and Sarah Kay fears the worse. She runs away which leads to Dad and the truth, Mom wanted Dad to remain dead.
Dad had faked his death so why not just stay dead. The ghostly clues of Grandma wouldn’t allow Dad to remain dead to Sarah Kay.
Excerpt
The house was blanketed in a quiet slumber. I snuggled under the sleeping bag with Allison, trying not to think about ghosts, as I drifted to sleep.
Random pictures floated in my mind like ghostly images.
I tiptoed among tombstones and my heart ached as if I had lost something or someone. He had to be here, somewhere.
The gravestones rose like stone walls. No names engraved on them. No dates. No R.I.P. Nothing. Just smooth, flat stones. Ghosts—grayish, smoky forms with black eyes—floated over the tombstones. I shivered, suddenly cold, freezing. My breath visible like a little ghost. I didn’t want to look at the ghost anymore so I looked down at my feet. A tombstone with Grandma’s name appeared out of nowhere. The earth moved. The dirt around the headstone broke away and gnarled fingers clawed their way into the air, searching, grasping. Shriveled fingers clutched my leg. Something grabbed at my leg—the hand, I screamed and frantically wiggled out of my sleeping bag, bumping MJ as I tried to get away from the hand I thought I felt grab at my leg.
Bio
I’m Kay LaLone. Ghostly Clues is my first middle grade novel published by MuseItUp. I live in Michigan with my husband and teenage son (two older sons and a daughter-in-law live near by) and two dogs and a cat. I love to get up every morning and write about ghosts, the paranormal, and anything that goes bump in the night. Or anything that interest my characters. Making my characters come to life for readers is important to a good story. I’m an avid reader of just about any type of book. I do reviews on the books I read and post them on my website and blog.

From Western Desert an #AuthorQuote
Author quote from WESTERN DESERT, by PJ Sharon:
Maybe that was the point all along. Just because I had the power to heal, it didn’t mean I could control other people’s destinies—especially since I hadn’t even figured out my own.

This quote from my protagonist Lily in WESTERN DESERT, sums up her dilemma throughout this second book in the dystopian trilogy, the Chronicles of Lily Carmichael. A genetically enhanced teen with the power of healing in her touch, she struggles with her desire to heal others and her need to keep her gift secret from the Industry, a rogue government subsidiary that would like nothing better than to capture her and exploit her abilities. To make matters worse, Lily is driven by her promise to save her brother, Zeph. Not only from the Industry, but from himself and his dangerous ability to take life with just a touch. Lily is repeatedly reminded of her limitations throughout the story and is often frustrated with her own lack of control and the consequences of her impulsive and sometimes reckless choices. Will she ever come to realize that people have to wantto be healed? And that imposing her will on others makes her no different from the people she is trying so desperately to escape? Will she overcome her innate refusal to take life when necessary to survive? Or will she risk the people closest to her in order to stand by her principles? WESTERN DESERT (book two in the Chronicles of Lily Carmichael trilogy)

Win, Win, Win in the NOR Scavenger Hunt

It's that time of year when ghosts and spirits are celebrated.
This year, I've joined the fun at Night Owl Reviews to show off one of my favorite books.
My contemporary paranormal story "Summer's Growth."
In the Scavenger Hunt, they ask a question about my book which is revealed in the book's blurb.

In this book, I have a whole family of spirits and one very special ghost.
Blurb -
Forced by the family spirits to get a life, Mattie Winston has to train her replacement Amber Harrison to be in charge of all the workings of the Winston estate. Reluctant to make changes in her life, Mattie forms a bond with Amber, when strange accidents start happening which threaten their lives and an unknown ghost makes an appearance.
After being rescued by an old flame, Quincy Miller, Mattie faces old wounds of rejection. As the general contractor for Amber’s redecoration project, Mattie is in constant contact with Quincy and realizes she still in love with her childhood sweetheart.
Amber, learning her new role in the family, wants to discover the identity of the ghost who keeps appearing. After several appearances, Gwen, Amber’s distance grandmother, shifts the book into more of Amber’s struggle to find out why her grandmother disappeared two hundred years ago without a trace. In a fight to claim her position in the family, Amber searches for clues to solve the mystery.
Mattie and Amber are both challenged when the family spirits decides Amber shouldn’t be the keeper. Battling for Amber, Mattie realizes she wants a life with Quincy outside the Winston estate.
Amber realized the importance of her new spiritual family, and she works to discover how Gwen died.
Can these two women achieve their goals?

Scottish Castles: A Guest Post by Becky Banks
Hi Tina and Tina Gayle fans!
Thanks so much for having me today, I’m going to dive into one of my favorite subjects, Scotland. The weather has begun to turn Fall-like for most of us and for me it makes me think of misty cliffs and highland whisk(e)y.
Scotland is the home of the highlands, haggis, Hebrides and castles!

Though, traveling through Scotland today, our strapping Scotsman is noticeably absent. But in his place are emerald colored bluffs jutting proudly into the grey Atlantic and misty rolling hills, pink with heather, being bisected by streams and rivers that empty into one of the many lochs of the land. Nestled on those hills and dales are crumbled and in some instances still majestic stone towers and walls of ancient castles. The castles our highland hero from above would have lived.
When my hubby and I toured Scotland a few years back, I spent most of the trip slack jawed in awe. These stone feats of strength had seen centuries of battle; bakers, cooks, ladies and chieftains had walked their halls. All of these peopled had once lived and loved within those stone edifices. Through the different castles there were three types: restored, treasured rubble and original.
Our first castle on this mini tour of Scottish castles is the unique Eilean Donan, which was built on a tiny island in the middle of a loch. Without a crane.
Restored
One of the more picturesque of the Scottish castles, Eilean Donan, was erected in the 13th century

“Early in the morning on Sunday 10 May, HMS Worcester, HMS Flamborough, and HMS Enterprise anchored off Eilean Donan and sent a boat ashore under a flag of truce to negotiate. When the Spanish soldiers [aka rebel forces] in the castle fired at the boat, it was recalled and all three ships opened fire on the castle for an hour or more.[40] The next day the bombardment continued while a landing party was prepared. In the evening under the cover of an intense cannonade, the ships' boats went ashore and captured the castle against little resistance. According to Worcester's log, in the castle were "an Irishman, a captain, a Spanish lieutenant, a serjeant, one Scotch rebel and 39 Spanish soldiers, 343 barrels of powder and 52 barrels of musquet shot."[41] The naval force spent the next two days and 27 barrels of gunpowder demolishing the castle.[42]”
I think we can all give the MacRae-Gilstrap family a big high-five for their spectacular work in restoring the castle to its former glory, as it was no small task in rebuilding it from the rubble.
Speaking of gunpowder and blowing castles to bits, that brings me to second castle I want to share with you. This one will be brief since it is its ending that I find the most interesting: Urquhart Castle.

And finally, Dunvegan, the original.

There are many castles in Scotland some are rubble - as you saw - and some have been restored. But rare is it to view one that has had continual residence in it since the moment its last stone was laid.
Dunvegan castle dates its origins date back 800 years and its artifacts to well before that. Most notably is its Fairy Flag which is thought to predate the Crusades. Dunvegan is has been and is currently inhabited by the MacLeod clan. Currently on their 30th clan chief, who I hear is a good singer, has family that inhabits the property year round (but I hear the summer parties draw the biggest crowd). Updated continuously since its inception Dunvegan Castle boasts updated amenities much like a grand century-old home with lavish paintings, gold brocade wall paper and polished Queen Anne furniture. So awe-like is the feeling of being in a castle whose inhabitants had blood ties to the founder of the place eight hundred years prior that I felt compelled to write a book. And write one I did, the novel is called The Legend of Lady MacLaoch.
The story is central around the Castle Laoch and the clan chief has many of the same headaches as well as pride points as a real life clan chief might. It can be said that for intents and purposes Castle Laoch in the story is Dunvegan. :0)
To wrap up our mini-castle tour here's a summary of the Dunvegan-inspired novel The Legend of Lady MacLaoch:

In present-day Scotland, the laird and chief of the MacLaoch clan is an ex-Royal Air Force fighter pilot who has been past the gates of hell and returned a changed man. Rowan MacLaoch does battle with wartime memories and a family curse that threaten to consume him-unaware that his life and that of the history of the clan will be changed forever by the arrival of an American woman.
Cole Baker, a feisty recent graduate of a master's program, stumbles upon the ancient curse while researching her bloodlines. Moved by the history of the MacLaoch clan and the mystery of its chief, she digs into the legend that had been anything but quiet for centuries.
On their quest for answers, Cole and Rowan travel to places they have never before been and become witnesses to things they have never before fathomed. The legend-one started with blood-will end with more shed as its creator finally exacts her justice.
Thank you Tina Gayle and fans for having me today. You all have been great!

#AuthorQuote by Kitty Baron
"An author cannot grow without both constructive criticism and
encouragement."
and
"Life will always knock you on your ass. Learn to roll with the punches, get back up and go again."
Blub:
A fifteen year-old Christian girl, on the brink of losing her faith in mankind as a whole.. until one old man's kindness and generosity changes her life forever.
Excerpt:
Why does the whole world have to take a shot at me? I rubbed my tight shoulder and stomped on a bug, grinding it under my foot. Go away you nasty thing.
My shoulders hunched and my chin fell to my chest, eyes closed as something heavy settled in my belly. Great, now I’m attacking little critters? I swallowed in an attempt to hold back the tears that stung my eyes. One hand gripped the wooden rail to keep me from falling to my knees as the depression closed in around me, making my stomach toss like waves.
Please God, there has to be at least some decency out in the cruel, harsh world. I can’t take it anymore. Help me be rid of my bitterness. My constant anger has left me miserable.

Where are You in the Process of Writing Your Book?
Every author needs to think about where they are in the journey to getting their book published.
Some like to enjoy the writing process without thinking about the venture ahead.
Others have already jumped into the pool of getting their name out to the world.
Where are you?
* Are you writing the book? – There are steps you can take right now to get your name out there. (They are listed here but I will cover them in more detail below.) The world can learn about you right now– therefore making it easier when you release your book.
• Set up a blog
• Get your website domain name and set up your website.
• Join writing groups.
• Join social networking sites.
* The book is written and you’re ready to roll. Fork in the Road Already – Understand the benefits and drawbacks of choosing to either follow the traditional route or self-publishing road. (Special note – promoting yourself as an author and your book is still your responsibility no matter which option you chose.)
This is no easy decision and an author should check into both before making a decision.
Hope this helps,
Tina

Katalina Leon - Hopping Along with the NOR Contest
Katalina is also another author who is involved in the NOR Halloween Hop. I thought you might want to learn more about her book and her. So read on...
Have you ever tasted Absinthe? It’s strange, beautiful stuff and something of an acquired taste. Straight from the bottle it’s an earthy golden-green similar in hue to high quality olive oil. When mixed with water it becomes an enchanted, cloudy shade of pale opalescent jade. The mysterious green transformation is where the legend of the La Fée Verte, the green fairy begins. In cafés of the 19th century a patron would be served a fluted, parfait style glass, a small pitcher of water, a filigree spade-shaped spoon that often was a work of art in itself, and a tiny dish of chunky oblong sugar cubes.
The patron would balance the spoon across the top of the glass, place the sugar cubes atop the spoon and very slowly drizzle the absinthe over the sugar cubes, saturating them. Then a small amount of water would be trickled over the sugar cubes and allowed to dissolve them. The final step after the last bits of green sugar had slipped through the spoon is to stir the mixture until it becomes opaque. At that moment it’s time to ask La Fée Verte to be kind with you.
The first impression that might leap to mind while tasting modern commercial absinthe might be “Dear god that’s strong”, or it might be, “Wow this is just weird black licorice and a lot of booze.”
Taste it again and the other subtle flavors begin to come forward. Taste it again and you’ll notice there are a lot of layers to this stuff, multiple ingredients that are familiar yet very hard to name. Anise is right at the top, screaming “licorice!”, but there are other quietly seductive flavors as well as the possibly of a few sinister properties. Absinthe as it was made in the 19th century contained wormwood as one of the principle ingredients, which is said to induce hallucinations and eventually madness.
Madness? Wormwood? You might think that sounds a little unsetting but it didn’t stop the French from guzzling the stuff. Until World War I Absinthe was the most popular alcoholic beverage in France. French veterans returning from the Crimean War came home with a taste for exotic herbed alcoholic beverages. Absinthe’s astonishingly high alcohol content and notorious ability to intoxicate added to its popularity among the poor and serious café drinkers alike. Absinthe’s allure crossed all social boundaries in 19thcentury France. Intellectuals, artists and well-to-do middle class matrons all enjoyed and often overindulged in La Fée Verte’s warming and yet numbing embrace.
For professional purposes only I drank a little absinthe while editing Fairy In The Flesh. I called on La Fée Verte to bring me a beautiful vision as I asked the question, “What if your soul mate was born a century before you?” Fairy In The Flesh explores that question big time.
In this excerpt Maya has been tricked into drinking mojo laced absinthe, travels back in time and wakes up in 1903…
Blurb: Fairy In The FleshKatalina Leon
Maya Rousseau’s fantasy vacation in Avignon France heats up when an eccentric enchantress tricks her into drinking mojo-laced absinthe.
An unexpected encounter with the green fairy causes Maya’s reality to have a serious melt down. She travels back in time and wakes up naked in the bed of her favorite bad boy Bohemian artist, the tall, dark and mysterious André Bosco. There’s nothing wrong with that except it’s 1903.
For André it’s love at first sight. He begs Maya to become his cherished model, muse and lover. The chemistry and shared passion between them is overwhelming. André’s a generous-hearted dream man but there’s a catch. Every hour they spend together bonds them tighter and time is running out. The same powers that flung Maya back to 1903 are preparing to snatch her back.
With a hundred and ten years separating these soul-bound lovers it’s uncertain if they can find a happy ending without the help of a little magic and La Fée Verte.
Note: Story contains super hot sex with an unattainable man, enchanted hallucinatory beverages, mischievous time-twisters and green fairies.
