Interview - Witch's Tale by Melanie Snow #paranormal #cozymystery

1.     What made you decide to become an author?
I have always wanted to write fiction, but I couldn’t decide on the genre. Since I am also a professional animal communicator and medium, it made sense to me to write paranormal cozies. When I write I go to a mystical place where I learn new and exciting lessons from my characters. As an artist and dancer, writing is another way in which I can express my creativity. Being a full-time author is the best career—I have had many, but I am now in a place where I can immerse myself with words.
2.     Do you have a specific writing style?
Yes, I do. Basically, I write in the morning hours after I swim. My mind is clear and my characters are chatty.
Since I believe in telepathy and insight, I have a few of rituals that get my intuitive side activated to write if I feel stuck. My favorite is to go on a hike with my dog Addie to a special mountain in my series. When we reach the top, there is a rock we both sit on. I connect in with my spirit team and I get the latest download. It’s pretty wild—but it works for me.
3.     Is the book, characters, or any scenes based on a true life experience, someone you know,  or events in your own life?
Yes, yes, and yes! I based the stories in these books about a few of my true life adventures with the paranormal and actual life. Also, I include my dog Addie as Sarah’s familiar. Addie is my heart dog and her story is remarkable—I love how she helps Sarah.
But the most obvious was when I was brainstorming The Spellwood Witches. I was hiking on my favorite mountain, which of course is in the series, sporting its paranormal name. When I got to the top and I was working on character development with my intuitive spirit team, I caught a glimpse of some tiny little bits of energy hanging out on a low bush. I hung out with that energy for a while and suddenly, I “saw” these little faeries. The main one was the most vocal. When she revealed herself—whoa—she was snarky, fun, and full of opinions. She demanded to be in the series. Hence, Addie and I got the entire download in one sitting.
4.     Of all the characters you’ve written, who is your favorite and why?
OMG there a few and it’s hard to pick just one. Heck, I would say because Sarah is the protagonist, and she is a lot like me—it was a lot of fun to bring her wants, desires, and needs to life. Watching her transform and grow with each book was an amazing experience as an author. I loved hanging out with her. I guess that is a good thing because her growth paralleled much of mine throughout life. And it’s always nice to appreciate one’s own journey. I have to mention Lativa as one of my favorites as well. That girl never stopped giving me her opinion on how to do things—she is full of wisdom and magic and I often just like to hang out with her.

5.     If this book is part of a series—what is the next book? Any details you can share?
Yes, so far, I have four books in this series. The second book is called Howl Play. In this book I reveal that Sarah Spellwood can’t wait to learn about her powerful ancestor’s magic and repair the reputation of witches. But despite hours of study and her talking dog’s support, she still doubts her spell casting skill. And she’s about to face a major test when she’s plunged into a battle between good and evil after the enchanted forest’s protective deed is stolen and the town clerk brutally murdered… I can’t give anymore spoilers but if you like endearing flirty romance, discovering one’s true destiny, and love for animals, then you’ll enjoy this next mystery.

6.     Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Being an indie author is not just about the writing. There is so much more—from hiring my editors, formatting my books, brainstorming with my cover designer, organizing the review teams, creating the social media graphics, marketing, advertising, etc. There is never a dull moment in the life of being an indie author. Yet, I would never change a thing. 
7.     Do you have any advice for other writers?
I have written over twenty books in various genres and no matter what genre you write in, there will always be readers who challenge you. There will be family and friends who don’t take you seriously. My best advice is to not pay attention to the negative—it will thwart your creativity. Instead, write for those who love your work.

8.     What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?
During my time as a wolf biologist, I would track wolves. One day I was snowshoeing out on a frozen lake with freshly fallen snow. It was minus sixty and there was no wind. I could hear my heart beating.
I got a gut feeling something was watching me. I stopped and looked around. When I turned to look behind me there were a fresh wolf tracks but no wolf.

9.     When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?
Reading, hiking with my doggo Addie, long-distance open water swimming, cooking great healthy meals. As a full-time author, I make sure I include all of those in my daily self-care.
10.  What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled upcoming releases or works in progress?

Yes, there will be more books available in my paranormal cozy mystery series, The Spellwood Witches. I want to keep my readers and my characters happy. I hope to either continue this series as I love and enjoy the characters—but I have some spirits talking to me about writing their own series. Witch’s Tail

PrologueLativia Spellwood sat on her ghostly throne of branches on the summit of Mount Katribus, with many other ghosts swarming around her reminiscing about life and drinking wine. The ghosts of Witchland residents always came to this clearing after they died to stay near Lativia for guidance and to wait until they were ready to pass on to the afterlife. Lativia had been dead for hundreds of years but had still not passed on, for her work overlooking Witchland and its forest was not yet done. One day, it would be, and she was beginning to welcome that time, for she was growing very tired.A tiny troop of Leekin faeries moved about the arms and legs of Lativia’s throne, placing flowers into the holes between the woven boughs. They did that every day, as a way to honor her as Queen of the Forest. Lativia sipped from a goblet of ghost wine, enjoying the blue fire as it spread down her throat, engulfing her in tingly warmth. Being a ghost was always cold; the magic wine was one of the few momentary sources of warmth that she could cherish. “What else do you need, my queen?” chirped one of the Leekins, buzzing on tiny brown wings before her nose.Lativia smiled. “I think it’s time I checked on Sarah, don’t you agree?”The Leekin nodded excitedly and flew off into the woods. A huge bunch of Leekins soon returned, flying in formation to carry the weight of a glowing crystal ball. They lowered it to Lativia’s lap, where it sank through the spectral outlines of her legs. Lativia could pass through things, and things could pass through her, for her physical body was long gone and all that remained was her powerful soulLativia smiled even more broadly and began to draw her transparent ghostly hands over the ball, summoning the blood bond she shared with her descendent, Sarah Spellwood. Gradually, the fog inside the ball began to clear and an image of Sarah’s frizzy explosion of red curls filled it. Lativia drew back a few feet with her mind and saw Sarah was at a coffee shop ordering a vegan sandwich. Sarah’s love and respect for animals always made Lativia proud. She noticed there was a conspicuous pale and indented band of skin on Sarah’s ring finger where her huge diamond wedding ring had once been. “That no-good husband of hers is finally gone!” Lativia crowed with delight. But then she noticed that there were bags under Sarah’s eyes, the bags of someone who had been up all night crying. Sarah must be heartbroken, Lativia thought with a heavy heart.             The barista serving Sarah froze when she saw Sarah’s last name on the credit card receipt. “Um, are you related to . . . ?”Sarah drearily raised her hand. “Yep, I’m descended from Lativa Spellwood.”“That’s amazing! I mean, have you ever been to Witchland and looked at the Lativia memorabilia?” The barista’s pigtails wiggled with her excited body language, and Lativia felt a swell of pride that people still remembered and even revered her. It had been four centuries and she was still honored as the greatest witch of New England, the one who had turned into a wolf and fought her way free of her captors at the Salem Witch Trials!“Yep,” Sarah said, her voice full of annoyance. It was clear she was ready to dash out of the coffee shop. As good of a lawyer as Sarah was, Lativia noticed how awkward she was around most people, and how little she liked to disclose personal details, especially of her magical ancestry. Sarah was a woman of facts and logic, which is why she fought the magical powers pulsing through her like a current, trying to pull her back to her destiny. Her resistance to her true self and her stubborn adherence to logical facts made her unpopular with many people. Lativia yearned to watch Sarah blossom into her beautiful potential. “Don’t you see?” Lativia cried. “You are not meant to be in New York! You should be here, following your calling, completing my work as a witch! You’re not happy there!” But Sarah couldn’t hear these words.“Yes, yes,” several Leekins agreed. A ghost who was standing near Lativia also nodded his head. Sarah trudged out of the coffee shop, carrying her drink and the sandwich in a paper bag. A man in a trench coat bumped into her, and she hastily checked her pockets to ensure he had not pickpocketed anything. Then she continued on to her office, a massive steel gray prison with spikes in the window ledges to repel pigeons. There was no sign of life anywhere but for the scraggly maple planted out front of the building and a few waxy tropical plants blooming inside the lobby. Lativia groaned, feeling the despair and coldness of the place. “It’s time for you to come here, to your destined home,” Lativia declared. “My Leekins have told me about the Hunter tracking lynx and the land surveyors, and I sense that there is about to be trouble in the forest.”At the mention of the Hunter, the Leekins gathered around her throne began to turn blue and tremble in terror. “I am not strong enough to fight these battles much longer, so I need you to come home, to come into your true self. Your marriage fell apart of its own accord, and I sense your job is about to unravel on its own, too. You can’t fight destiny,” Lativia said, giving the group of hovering Leekins their crystal ball back and shutting her eyes. “I could use magic to bring you to your destiny sooner, but it is evil to interfere with one’s life that way. I can only hope you don’t take much longer.”She opened her eyes as the Leekins cried, “We need her!”

Bewitching Book Blitz Ashes and Blood by Katie Zaber #fantasy #giveaway

Ashes and Blood Dalya Series Book OneKatie Zaber         
Genre: FantasyDate of Publication: May 13th 2020ISBN:  9780463801024ASIN:  B087YJ8W87Number of pages: 260Word Count: 121,760
Cover Artist: Agata Bukovero
Tagline: Trapped in another world—what would you do?
Book Description:
“I’ll start at the beginning. Long ago, before roads, before we built structures, before medicine was discovered, before the government was created, before man gained any knowledge, there were The Five. Independent from each other, The Five had a mutual respect for one another. They knew their roles in the world and their duty. They were gods…”
An adventure begins when an otherworldly tree captures the attention of Megan and her friends. The environment morphs around them, transferring them to an exotic planet. Stuck in a rural town still maimed by the plague, a chance encounter with a familiar face gives Megan and her friends some security during their adjustment period.
While settling into new, promising lives, they are attacked and stalked by planet Dalya’s humanoid inhabitants, who focus on Megan. One dark night, after an epic, magical attack, the Fae King’s knight is sent to fetch Megan. When she wakes up a prisoner, she learns that there is much more to this strange world, and it is oddly more like her own than she ever would have expected.

Excerpt 2Kevin

Every time my life improves, when business runs smoothly and this world begins to feel normal, there’s a curveball. Always, without fail, either Earth-shattering news or Dalya-shattering news, depending on which planet you come from. Don’t get me wrong; I’m glad to see Megan and her friends alive, but they should be living their lives happily on Earth, not here.Not trapped.I honestly thought Megan was a hallucination created by too much alcohol. Standing there in the forge, surrounded by people from both worlds, it made me panic. I was positive I’d lost it, that I either drank myself mad or that I’d gone crazy. Two distant worlds collided together, people from my past and present, from two separate places, standing in the same room. It made me freak out to a completely new level. It took a few moments to realize Megan and her friends actually stood in front of me. What happened to me eight years ago happened to them too.Good, I’m not insane—not yet—but it sucks for Megan and the girls.

Excerpt:
We were waiting in turn for our audition for Britain’s Best Band, a reality show that could take unknowns and send them stratospheric.Being a top rock band was our dream and had been for years.“Are you not cold?” Zak leaped from foot to foot rubbing his hands. “Idiot, I’m always cold, I’m a vampire.” I eye-rolled him. He was off his game today and I could hazard a guess why. The guy was knackered from his extra-curricular activities. “Well, you must be cold, because you’re not able to put your furry coat on.” Zak pushed at Rex.Rex didn't move, despite the shove. “Even when I can’t have my fur on the outside, it warms me on the inside. PS, if you push me again, I’m going to knock you the fuck out.” Ever the alpha wolf, Rex growled at Zak. “There are loads of women here, go warm yourself up by screwing a few of them. Get some extra credit.”Zak's shoulders slumped. “I’ll not stay awake for the audition if I do that. I need to have a word with Abaddon, seriously. My quota is too large. I could hack it when I was eighteen, but I can’t now.”Roman, our lead guitarist, took a swig from the bottle of scotch he seemed to have permanently attached to his hand. “I feel lovely and warm.”“Piss off, Satyr. That’s because your bloods almost 100% proof.”“Can you keep it down, Zak?” I narrowed my gaze at him. “I don’t think we should be broadcasting our paranormal status to the two thousand humans we’re sharing the queue with.”“Excuse me?” A slim blonde tapped Zak on the shoulder. She was wearing a fluffy blanket around her shoulders. “You can share my blanket if you like?"Zak ran a hand through his hair.“Oh look, he's responding to the female. The penis flytrap is about to ensnare another victim.” Rex scoffed. Roman almost choked on his mouthful of whisky. “Penis flytrap. That’s fucking fabulous.”Zak gave us all a withering glare, then turned back to the blonde. “Thanks, doll. I’d like to take you up on your invitation to share your blanket another day, if I may? Perhaps you could give me your phone number?” Then he yawned. It didn't put the blonde off though. She gave him a beaming smile and her contact details.

The “Too Dumb To Live” Heroine and Why I Had To Kill Her . . .Guest Blog by Leigh Hatchmann

The “Too Dumb To Live” Heroine and Why I Had To Kill Her . . .
One thing I dislike in both YA fiction and Paranormal Romance is the “TDTL” (too dumb to live) female protagonist. We all know that the way women are portrayed in popular media can be problematic. Also, romance is a genre that has historically advanced the rights of women in society (I completed a research project on this topic as part of my Master’s degree in Writing). Therefore, when a character trope like the TDTL heroine plays against this, especially when they are written by females, it turns me off big time.
Let me be more specific. It is fine for the heroine to be naïve or innocent at the beginning of a story, but readers should see character growth, smarter choices made, etc., with each chapter. But if it’s the middle of the book and she’s rushing into a dark alley by herself, with no weapons/she can’t fight, and it’s at midnight on a full moon, when she KNOWS werewolves are around . . . and she gets attacked . . . come on! 
Where is the common sense?
Bella-Rosa in BEAUTIFUL is intelligent and world-wise, but she is naïve as far as the everyday reality of people is concerned. She receives major lessons in this throughout the book and her growth, maturity – and freedom – is the result. Other characters in the book put her in dangerous situations, but she doesn’t get herself into them through the choices she makes.
I feel it is a writer’s responsibility to not only showcase the world how it is but also how it could be. Hanging onto old tropes of the dumb heroine are more damaging than helpful in the modern era. That is why I killed it.
What are your thoughts on the “too dumb to live” heroine? Does she serve a purpose anymore or have we outgrown her?

Book Description:
Bella-Rosa Amato
My life is the envy of women everywhere. I live in a gorgeous mansion, wear expensive clothes, go to A-list parties, and attend a prestigious college.
It is a life of beauty and glamor . . . and all of it is a lie.
Behind closed doors, I am bullied by my cold and powerful father. With no money of my own, I have no choice but to obey him . . .
Until I am attacked, and a half man-half beast intervenes. Kit takes me to his home to heal, where I am immersed in his secret world. As we bond over unexpected experiences and shared interests, my gratitude changes into something that feels as old as time.
Kit/King
I was created for the darkness and, for a while, it controlled me. But I escaped that life and made a new home for myself.
Before Bella crossed my path, I didn’t think happiness was possible. But she not only accepts my differences, she offers friendship.
Her gentle and compassionate heart opens me up to those parts within me.With her, I don’t feel like the beast I have always been labeled.
But the closer we get, the more I wonder if I am truly as human as she believes, and whether the mistakes of the beast can ever be forgiven . . .
When an old enemy resurfaces, Bella and Kit will need to stand firm in their love, face the brutalities of the past, and trust in the beauty that comes from within to make it out alive.
BEAUTIFUL is a sweet and dark, modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The themes of beauty, strength, redemption, and love shine through in an unforgettable tale that will make you question everything you think you know about beauty . . . and the beast.

He bared his teeth, growling at me in a new, obedient way.Even then, I didn’t lose faith in him.In us.I put my hands up in a defensive gesture. “You don’t want to hurt me, Kit. I know that.”He edged closer, then started to circle me, the way I’d seen animals do on documentaries right before they attacked

Restless spirits long separated from their graves lurk among the ancient stones at Avondale Cemetery. Carriage maker W.A. Paterson's spirit continuously wanders the halls of the Dryden Building, and something sinister and unnamed resides in a Knob Hill mansion waiting to prey on impressionable young men. 
Join authors Roxanne Rhoads and Joe Schipani on a chilling tour of Flint's most haunted locations.
