Excerpt
Angrily, I turned and rushed back to the lone tree of the cornfield. Without any hesitation, my arm dropped, releasing my built-up rage with my power. The seal instantly shattered, destroying all evidence of the Gatekeepers’ influence.
The voices quietly whispered their thanks as they were finally free. But one voice remained. The man wailed and cried, alone and trapped within me.
Something cawed from the branches above, and I glanced up. My left eye winced as I noticed a raven was staring at me. It cawed again, before flapping its wings violently, yet staying in place.
“Give it to me,” a voice demanded.
Before me stood a spirit. No, something else. Her energy radiated a power that felt familiar yet foreign. The energy almost matched the soldiers from the graveyard before. Her black hair was pulled back in intricate braids. And her ebony skin seemed to glow with markings unfamiliar to me. Her beauty was breathtaking, and so was her power.
“Give. It. To. Me,” she demanded once again.
Snapping out of my trance, I took a step back. “Give you what?”
The woman held her hand out, waiting. Biting my lip with narrowed eyes, I took a step forward, reaching for her outstretched hand. Immediately she snatched my hand, holding tightly before vanishing. The raven cawed loudly once more before everything went silent. I was alone again. The man’s voice no longer cried, and the woman was gone.
“What is going on,” I murmured.

Link by Link Release Day Blitz!!
Well Hello Everyone!
It has truly been a long time. But I had to stop on by (I really need to be blogging at least twice a week) to roll this bad boy out. Link by Link has been through some things. It’s original home went the way of the dodo bird and thanks to some amazing women behind the scenes (I’m looking at you Meg Dailey and Elle Beaumont) it landed with Midnight Publishing!!! So, I give to you this amazing holiday anthology! And just look at that purty cover!!!!
Link by Link: An Anthology of Haunted Holidays
Publication date: December 2nd 2020
Genres: Holiday, Paranormal, Supernatural, Young Adult
“‘I wear the chain I forged in life, ’replied the Ghost. ‘I made it link by link…’”-Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Link by Link is a collection of 9 stories of ghosts, spirits, and creatures unnamed, all come to teach lessons we won’t soon forget. From sweet Christmas tales to terrifying holiday hauntings, these stories take a dive into the past in the hopes of creating a better—or at least different—future.
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo

My story, THE RECIPE FOR CORNBREAD, is dedicated to my family. Writing it reminded me so much of visiting Mississippi during Christmas. We would go every year and just seeing family (PRESENTS) and sharing the holiday meal (PRESENTS) would put so much joy in my heart. And I really enjoyed pilling up in my Uncle’s van and making the trip down to Louisiana for more good food and family! I really miss those days.
My Grandma Mary Alice is a central character in the story. She passed when I was in High School and I don’t think our family has been the same since. She was the foundation. The bedrock. The one who generated so much wisdom and love it would fill the entire room. I miss her. I wish my husband had gotten the opportunity to meet her. He was the one who gave me the foundation for my story. I love him so much. My mother, Gynda, is another central character. She is what I see when I imagine a women with strength and gumption. And, of course, all my family has been woven into the story in some way. So, like I said. This story really is for them.
Before I turn into a puddle of emotions and take you down with me, I will give you a little teaser of my story. Make sure you add this wonderful collection to your shopping list. Hell, I believe everyone on that list of yours needs their own copy! After all, we have had a very rocky year and we all need a little joy in our lives! [image error] But be warned, there is some darkness in these tales, too! But also lots of LOVE!

The Recipe for Cornbread
By C. Vonzale Lewis
Link by Link Anthology
Chapter One ExcerptStrength…
My fifth attempt at my Grandma Mary Alice’s cornbread wasn’t any better than the last four. Steam rose off the golden loaf, scenting the air with the delicious corn and butter smell. I’d decided, even though the recipe didn’t call for it, to add butter to this last attempt. Brown around the edges, the middle sagged as if some key ingredient had been left out. Or, in this case, added.
The stained notecard my Aunt Anne had scrawled the recipe on sat in a smear of flour on the yellow-tiled counter. Moving in close, still holding the cast-iron skillet in my mitten-covered hand, I once again went over the ingredients: cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, milk, lard (I’d used vegetable oil instead). While the original recipe had been written in black ink, someone (most likely my Aunt Betina) had added the precise measurements later in blue.
My grandma and my Aunt Anne never used measuring cups when they cooked. My mom, Gwen, had taken her set when she moved out six months ago, after my Aunt Desiree had passed away in her sleep. I’d had to purchase a set when I bought the food for the Christmas meal. I’d never developed the same culinary skills that my aunt and grandma possessed. I did okay in the kitchen, though I always had to follow a recipe. But now, staring at the almost empty egg carton—pissed that I’d have to go to the store for more eggs for breakfast in the morning—I knew I’d gotten in over my head.
I’d like to say the deposits of flour all over the counter were the final straw, but that would be a lie. Careful not to slam it down—I couldn’t afford to repair them—I set the cast-iron skillet on the towel I had resting on the countertop and blew out a breath of frustration. A single tear slipped down my sweaty cheek. My cousin Beatrice and her partner Raphael would be here in an hour to help, and the rest of the family would follow soon after that. Although I’d made most of the Holiday meal (honey glazed ham, potato salad, greens, macaroni and cheese, a pound cake, and two pecan pies), I still had a few more dishes to fix. Including the cornbread. Thankfully, Beatrice was bringing the turkey and dressing.
Sweat slid down my back, and I pushed a lock of damp hair behind my ear as I snatched off the oven mitt and tossed it across the room, scattering the measuring cups. Only a few rooms in the house had air conditioning, and the kitchen wasn’t one of them. My flip-flops smacked the heels of my feet, the sting adding to the rising fury within me, as I walked over to the bay window and shoved it open. Warm humid air rushed inside, bringing in the briny scent of the bayou not far off from our estate. The breeze, although warm, felt good on my face.
Smoke from the oven—filtering out of the vent on the side of the house—circled in the air outside the house. The smoke seemed to morph into a familiar silhouette of a man wearing a bowler hat, his face a ghostly outline. It tugged at the memory of the Christmas after my Grandma Mary Alice had died. I shuddered remembering Mr. Manning. I could still hear that slippery-slimy voice as it slithered all over me. Taunting me. I’d been five at the time. Too young to fight such a malevolent spirit. But somehow, I had found the strength.
It was too bad I didn’t have any of that strength now. Pulling myself from the past, I turned and glared at the old-fashioned stove. “Why didn’t my mother replace that damn stove?”
“You managed everything else just fine on that stove, little Charlotte. It ain’t the problem and you know it,” Grandma Mary Alice said. “No shame in asking for help.”
She was right. The stove wasn’t the problem. It was just an easy target for me to blame my mood on. It couldn’t fight back.
I turned to the rocking chair sitting in the corner of the room. My grandma’s favorite spot in the kitchen. She’d sit there, humming to herself, sweat coating her skin, while food simmered on the stove. Sometimes she’d have a radio playing. But mostly she’d just hum, occasionally wiping the sweat away with a towel she kept thrown over her shoulder. That’s where she was now. Sunlight bathed her skin. Despite being a spirit, she appeared solid, looking the same as she did when I’d first seen her at her funeral. She even wore her favorite pale green flowered dress, the towel still thrown over her shoulder.

LOOK AT HIM!!! YOU CAN’T TELL ME HE ISN’T DROOL WORTHY!!!So, you might be wondering what the book is about and I’m just wanting to stare at the damn cover all day. You will just have to indulge me for a little….FINE!!!! THIS IS WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT!BlurbTin is the most famous fae in Oz for all the wrong reasons. Cursed with a stone heart, he is the perfect assassin: ruthless, efficient, and merciless with thousands of kills to his name. When his old friend, Lion, offers him a small fortune to deliver Dorothy to the South for his lover to wear the girl’s head as her own, Tin doesn’t hesitate to accept the unsavory deal.Dorothy Gale lost everything—her family to illness, her dog to age, and now her farm to foreclosure. The entire town thought she was crazy for believing in a faerie world called Oz, but even after ten years have passed, she can’t help knowing she was right. So when an emerald green portal opens in her wheat field, she jumps at the opportunity to return to the only place she ever felt like she belonged.Tin wasn’t expecting a grown woman to step through the portal, just as Dorothy wasn’t expecting Tin to have his stone heart back, but Oz holds more unexpected things than either could have imagined. Magic has hidden dangerous lies behind glamour, trapped innocents in curses, and left the land of Oz in turmoil—none more so than the South. As Tin and Dorothy travel together for the second time in a decade, their lives begin to make sense again. Soon, they must decide who to give their loyalties to before Lion takes Dorothy’s head and Tin’s cursed heart is forever doomed.So, I hope I have convinced you to buy this awesome book. Now, I must convince Candace and Amber to send me a pic with just Tin in it. Dorothy doesn’t need to be on the cover. Really she doesn’t.Until Next Time….Peace, Love, and Chocolate Chip Cookies (Shared with Tin)The post Tin Release Day Blitz! appeared first on C Vonzale Lewis.

Lauren Emily Whalen

The winter of 1997 is a tragedy waiting to happen. Small-town life isn’t easy for seventeen-year-old, bisexual and closeted Paulina, especially when her best friend Mia becomes pregnant. A devout Catholic, Mia doesn’t want to tell her parents, see a doctor, or even tell the baby’s father, Paulina’s other best friend, Tesla. Meanwhile, Paulina’s secret relationship with volleyball star, Ani, is about to go public in the worst way. It all comes to a head one fateful night, and everything changes forever.
Fast forward to the winter of 2014, where Perdita, bi and proud in Chicago, is weeks away from turning seventeen. Her life is perfect–well, almost. She loves her two moms, but why do they refuse to tell her anything about her adoption? When Perdita meets Fenton, her handsome improv coach who’s taking a gap year before college, she discovers both a kindred soul and a willing accomplice in her search for the truth. Will Perdita find what she’s looking for? And if not, can time really heal all wounds?
TWO WINTERS is a contemporary queer YA retelling of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, about birth, death, Catholic school, improv comedy and the healing nature of time.
Until Next Time…Peace, Love, and Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Crow Faeries of Oz Cover Reveal and my SUPER IMPORTANT DILEMMA!!!
Add to your GOODREADS!
DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?????Okay, for those who haven’t seen the cover of Tin and his glorious long white hair and body that BEGS to be shown. I will post that one here as well….Purchase Tin on Amazon!!!Now you see what my dilemma is… (heavy sigh)Enough about me (It should always be about me) I will give you the info on this next book, CROW.BLURBReva spent the last twenty years in her own purgatory, first as the Wicked Witch of the West, then banished to eternity in darkness. Now that she’s returned from oblivion, Reva’s out for blood. The Northern Witch, Locasta, destroyed Reva’s life out of jealousy over Crow. But Reva’s love for him is gone, replaced only with the desire for revenge. Crow wasted years trying to distract his mind after the Wicked Witch—his true love—was vanquished. He’d thought Reva was lost forever until magic brought her back, though their reunion was anything but happy. Reva hates him now as much as she loved him then. He can’t blame her—his former lover cursed them both and stole their daughter away. But he’s more determined than ever to earn Reva’s forgiveness.
When Reva leaves for the North, intent on destroying Locasta, Crow refuses to lose her to the same magic twice. He joins her on the journey, and, as much as Reva loathes him, she knows it’s for the best. Traveling is too dangerous on her own, but spending so much time together isn’t exactly safe for their hearts either. Hidden away in her castle, the Northern Witch waits to curse Reva and Crow once more. This time they need to put an end to Locasta, or suffer the consequences of the curse forever.
This book sounds so amazing. And, to help with my reading pleasure, I have corrected the spelling for Reva. It is now spelled C.A.R.L.A. As it should be!!!!Want your very own copy?

About the Author
I started climbing at 13, survived being lost in Snowdonia at 14, nearly drowned at 15, and then joined the Army at 16. Risk and adventure was built into my DNA and I feel very fortunate to have served the majority of my working career as an intelligence officer within Defence Intelligence, and as an explosive ordnance disposal officer and military surveyor within the Corps of Royal Engineers.
I feel privileged to have served for twenty-eight years in the British Army as a soldier and officer, working in Defence Intelligence and Counter-Terrorist Bomb Disposal operations, rising through the ranks to complete my service as a major. I served across the globe on numerous military operations as well as extensive travel and adventure on many major mountaineering and exploration expeditions that I led or was involved in.
I was awarded the Geographic Medal by the Royal Geographical Society for mountain exploration and served on the screening committee of the Mount Everest Foundation charity for many years. It was humbling after so many years of service when I was awarded the MBE for services to counter-terrorism in 2007
The Failsafe Query is my debut novel, and I hope you enjoy the follow up novel, The Kompromat Kill, and my third in an ongoing series, The Moscow Whisper. Each can be read as standalone novels.
