The Velvet Coffin
Black are his eyes,His lips stained red,This sinister creature We know as undead
Born of the nightA soul without mercy An evil incarnateImmortal and thirsty
He dreams of blood,His fangs sharp and baring,His desire awakens As he lays there staring
The lid to his coffinCreaks as it raisesIts velvety liningHis hand lightly grazes
Moving to the shadowsHe expels a hissHe catches her scent And disappears into mist

Tagline: The time has come for the two worlds to collide the prophecy has spoken.
Book Description:
Family. Destiny. Magic. Lore.
Forced to leave behind her only known family, on the night of her eighteenth birthday Charlotte Delgado flees through the invisible veil that has granted her safety since birth, with only an age-old diary to guide her. Given less than a day to read the four-hundred year-old tales scripted amongst its pages, she barely understands the predetermined path her ancestor writes of, let alone believes it.
However, despite the dangers the journal warns of—supernatural creatures that will hunt her along her journey—it’s the ominous twist of fate that surrounds the last bloodline witch in her family that fills Charlotte with the most fear.
Is she that witch or merely a pawn moving the prophecy forward?

The Haunted World of West Virginia’sGrannies
West Virginia, the place generations ofmy people have called home. Wild, wonderful, and possessed of an undeniablebeauty. But sometimes... the place just ain't right.
Maybe it's the narrow roads snakingthrough claustrophobic forests. Maybe it's the looming presence of themountains, equal parts shelter, and constraint. Or maybe it’s the tight-lippedlocals, wary of strangers and burdened by the weight of tales passed down sincebefore their kin left the Old Country. Whispered stories that tell of allmanner of...other. Either way, it's hard to shake the feeling that my belovedmountains are hiding secrets best left alone. That's the world that birthed theGranny, or white witch; wise women, workers of poultices, charms, and yes -when called for - curses. And it is the Granny that inspired my Coal Mountainseries. Only seems right to share a bit about them with you.
The origins of the Granny lie in theisolation and desperation of mountain life, in a time and place far removedfrom modern medicine when the nearest doctor could be a day or more away. Whenfolks there got sick, they turned to the Grannies, whose reputations wererooted in their understanding of herbalism and the preparation of naturalremedies; the ability to “stir a boil” and make a sick child well. It was ashort hop from a tea to cure a fever to a poultice to catch the eye of the oneyou loved. And when the shadows grew long and the veil between worlds thinned -as it’s said happens each Halloween - it's no surprise that folks turned to theGrannies again, this time to keep that darkness at bay.
To their communities, the Grannies werekeepers of ancient knowledge passed down through generations; both revered andfeared for the knowledge they possessed. Their practices were a New World blendof Celtic, Native American, Germanic, and African traditions, all interwovenwith a dose of Christian beliefs and survive still among the region's followersof Celtic Christianity.
Grannies - including my own - professedthe ability to craft powerful charms and perform rituals that could protectagainst the things unseen that haunted the West Virginia wilderness. They wereknown to craft hex signs – a practice drawn from Germanic and PennsylvaniaDutch traditions – and utilized these colorful symbols to guard a place fromevils known and unknown. While many of these wards were small works of art,some were simplicity incarnate. Among the latter was the simple use of"haint blue," a soft, bluish-green color often seen on doorways,windowsills, and even porch ceilings. Tradition maintained that"haints" - or restless spirits – were unable to cross water. Thecolor - mimicking water as it does – was thought to create a protective barrierat doors and windows.
And then there were the curses—darkincantations spoken in secret, sometimes to seek justice, other times to exactrevenge. While not every Granny dabbled in curses, there is no shortage oftales telling if a wronged woman who sought out a Granny to set things right.As a teenager, I heard firsthand the tales of dead livestock, blighted crops,or families plagued by mysterious illnesses after someone crossed a Granny. Itwas plume foolish to doubt ht. It was the certainty of the belief in the powerof a Granny’s curse that led them to be treated with a blend of respect andcaution. Their power both admired andapproached with trepidation.
The folks of southern West Virginia beingof primarily Scots and Irish decent, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Halloween,or Samhain as it was once known, was a time of great significance for theGrannies of the region. Folks had no doubt that on that night the boundarybetween the living and the dead was at its weakest; spirits walked freely amongthe living. So, the living turned to the Grannies as gatekeepers, looking tothem to perform ancient rituals – often Christian and pagan in equal measure –to honor the dead, protect the living, and keep the darkest of forces at bay.Bonfires – with deep roots in Celtic tradition - played a role in theseceremonies. The Grannies would gather their communities around these fires,where they burnt sage, rosemary, and other herbs believed to cleanse the areaof evil spirits.
The legacy of the Grannies remainstightly woven into the fabric of mountain folklore, contributing to an all toofamiliar sense of unease that hangs about the darkest corners, especially atHalloween. While many in the Mountain State have forgotten the truth of theirown stories, you can count on Halloween to breathe new life in old tales,filled with strange occurrences, eerie encounters, and supernatural events thatdefy explanation. And you can find signs of the past without looking to hard.Children carve pumpkins having no knowledge that they are practicing an ancientritual meant to ward off evil. Candles burn in darkened windows absent even themost distant remembrance of nights when they were lit to guide the ancestorshome on Halloween night.
As Halloween approaches and the nightsgrow longer, folks in my neck of the woods aren’t strained by the idea that theworld of the Grannies remains. The world of the Grannies – that blend ofancient wisdom and supernatural wonder – hasn't faded with time. No, it’llnever be truly lost. It floats through the hollers like a whisper on the wind.It’s etched into the stone of the mountains themselves. So, when the windcarries a distant howl to your ears, or the moon casts grasping shadows acrossthe ground, and you sense something off in the world... remember that theancient magic of the Grannies remains, just out of sight, but still in reach.

Excerpt
"You allright, Buck?" He set his coffee on the small table there as he took more ofmy weight than I intended.
"Yeah,"I lied. "Bit of a headache." I couldn't look him in the eye. "Ineed to check on something. Be right in."
"Sureyou're gonna be all right?" Dad picked up his coffee as I took my weightagain.
“I’ll live.” Inodded and started toward the sitting room. I steeled myself against the pain Iknew was coming and pushed my senses into the Curtain once again.
The little roomoff the chapel was packed with overstuffed couches and an ottoman which coulddouble for a bed. I could see just clearly enough to avoid tripping, but itmade finding the cat a challenge. I moved from piece to piece, looking behindand under each. There was no sign of it. It could have left through the chapelbut I wasn't ready to accept that it had. It was bothersome enough it wasinside the church. I didn't want to consider what it would mean if the thingcould move across the consecrated ground of the chapel.
"Lose something?"Bonnie asked from the doorway.
Frustrated anddefeated, I gave her a weak smile and let go of my view into the Curtain.
"Hello,Bonnie."
She stepped intothe room, her coat and purse left behind somewhere. She wore a pained smile onher lips. "That the best you have for me?"
There werepeople in this town I didn't care to spare a kind word, Bonnie wasn't one ofthem. She'd done nothing but love me.
I stoppedfighting the smile she had always put on my face and replied, "Well if itisn't Bonnie Blankenship, the prettiest girl at Pineville High. How are things,Ms. Blankenship?"
"Much better,”her smile touched her eyes and she stepped in close.
About the Author:As a kid in elementary school, Edward Rollins hated to read. Hated it…
Then his grandfather, who knew Edward loved the Adam West "Batman" series, introduced him to Batman comic books, the rest is nerd history. From those early comics he went on to consume a steady diet of books from fantasy to science fiction. Eventually, he found a little game called Dungeons and Dragons and a lifetime of telling stories was born.
He’s been a sailor, a soldier, a pastor, an engineer and a college professor; sometimes all at once. Mostly, he hopes to know what he wants to be when he grows up. Assuming he agrees to grow up…A writer since college, he has published a handful of short stories and gaming industry pieces over the years. "The Witch's Debt" is his first attempt at writing “something of his own”.
Edward has lectured in convention and collegiate circles on the topics of gaming simulations, fantasy world building and theology in fantasy settings. He is a fan of 1920s pulp and science fiction as well as the 1950s aesthetics of Raygun Gothic and Atom-Punk.
While he lives in central Ohio with his wife and two incredible young adults – all three of which make him proud -- his heart will always be in West Virginia.

Release Day Blitz - Six Degrees of Separation by Amanda Mackey
Six Degrees of SeparationAmanda Mackey
Genre: RomancePublisher: Amanda MackeyDate of Publication: 5th October, 2024ASIN: B0DGCL3C32Number of pages: 223Word Count: 62,855
Tagline: What if the distance between you and your soulmate was 6 people?
Book Description:
What do you do when you find yourself in a midlife crisis at forty after leaving an abusive marriage?
You buy a cheap villa in Italy and leave everything you knew behind to live in a remote town, perched on top of a hill, with nothing but a suitcase full of clothing.
Oh, and did I mention the only Italian word I know is ciao?
I question my sanity as I sit at forty thousand feet, seven hours into the flight.
But as soon as I reach my destination, I realize I've made the right decision.
My villa is everything I hoped for, apart from needing some TLC, but with my divorce money, I plan on turning it into a home. My home. My sanctuary.
When I find a cabinet in the garage left by the previous elderly owner, with a letter inside, I get my real estate agent and only acquaintance to translate it for me.
What she reveals is insane to say the least.
The letter is from a woman in search of her soulmate who had heard about a theory called Six Degrees of Separation. A crazy notion that everyone on the planet is connected by six people.
Method: Send out six letters to people you know who when forward them to six people they know. Continue the process six times and it'll reach your intended person.
By some miracle, the woman managed to meet the great love of her life and live happily ever after.
So, when my agent and budding friend talks me into testing the theory, I'm not expecting anything to happen. It can't be that easy, right? Plus, I don't know six people in Italy.But she does.
And so, we send out the letters, partly as a joke and partly to see if it actually works.
But in the meantime, fate intervenes.
It's in the form of a younger man who steals my breath. A man I never saw coming.
It would seem we're not connected by six people, but two.
What then happens to the handsome stranger who replies to my letter?

Excerpt:
Avery handsome waiter approaches us, all masculine energy and charm. With hisarrival comes stronger pinpricks under my skin. It’s akin to getting zapped inwinter from static. But as I glance around the restaurant, everyone else iscarrying on as normal so I sit and try to act normal as I look up at the sexyas sin man. I’d peg him as thirty perhaps. Ebony, silky hair, styled back offhis face. Deep eyes, Roman nose and full lips. What is it with Italian men? Arethey all attractive at this age?
Myeyes fully appraise him as my pulse jackhammers. My neck feels flushed, causingbeads of sweat to form. God, can he see my reaction? I’m mesmerized like ahormonal teen, riveted to the spot.
Hisfull smile adds to his beauty and for a moment even Bianca remains mute as hegreets us. There’s a presence about him I can’t define. It’s that certainsomething that ‘just is’. The X Factor. Energy is pouring off him and I’m inthe line of fire. Can someone please bring me a cold glass of water? Or anindustrial fan?
Shequickly recovers though and offers a ‘ciao’ which I robotically mimic,enthralled by his rugged beauty up close. The flickering light of the candle onour table, catches his high cheek bones and full mouth, stealing my attentionfor way too long. His short-sleeved black shirt fails to cover a tattoo whichdisappears up his forearm.
“Doyou speak English?” Bianca asks for my benefit, a little too loudly might Iadd. When I peek at her, she’s wearing a knowing expression, right eyebrowraised, lips tipped up. Her foot taps mine under the table. When did she beginstaring at me like that? Probably when I answered him like Siri.
“Ofcourse. I’m fluent. I’ve been learning it since high school. Would you like adrink first?” That voice. Every syllable and word hit me front and center. Thetone sounds like a deep lullaby I could be rocked to sleep with. Sheesh. Whatis happening with me tonight? Am I hormonal? My menstrual cycle is on point, myperiod not due for another two weeks so it can’t be that. If this heat doesn’tsettle down, I’ll need to step into the bathroom to splash cold water on myface. I’m pretty sure the restaurant is air-conditioned too.
Ilook back to the waiter who is blatantly ignoring Bianca and watching me withhis shockingly beautiful eyes. Eyes one could stare into if they wished to findall the answers of the universe. Eyes which see right through you and invoke asense of belonging. As if you’ve seen them before. Familiar. Comforting. Ones Iwant to dive into and never leave.
They’returning me into a hot mess. I need to get my act together. I’m acting so out ofcharacter. Like a schoolgirl, not a forty-year-old divorcee. My hands fidget onmy lap as I glance around the room. It’s not big. A cozy, intimate space withguests lined up outside the door like we were moments ago. I count the tables.Fifteen. That’s all. I’m guessing they need to expand soon. Either that, orthey want to keep it the way it is.
Myeyes are drawn back to Mr. Handsome as he flicks his attention from Bianca andback to me again. It truly is getting too unbearably hot in here.
“Twoglasses of your best wine. And would it be possible to have a garlicbruschetta?”
“Sure.Let me get that for you.” Finally he turns and saunters back to the kitchen,leaving me with heated cheeks and a flutter in my belly. But as soon as he’sgone, the temperature cools back down to normal. That’s strange. Is he runninga fever? Does his body temperature run abnormally high all the time?
“Maybehe’s the one,” Bianca laughs. “He was checking you out.”
“Andclearly younger than me. He was probably just being friendly to the tourist.”
But I doubt my own words. Men don’t makeprolonged eye contact if they aren’t interested. Pity we’re leaving the dayafter tomorrow. I’d probably come back just to see his face again. A girl candream. But how can he possibly be the one? Not the first hot Italian guy tospeak to me. It couldn’t be that easy.
About the Author:Amanda Mackey was born in NZ and moved to Australia as a child with her family. She’s been living in sunny Queensland ever since. An avid reader as a child, writing became an extension of that. She wrote her first book in her twenties, but it would take a further sixteen years to get her book published. That first book was the catalyst for her writing career, and she now has penned book number twenty.
Amanda is both traditionally, and self-published and writes in multiple genres. She hopes to make writing her full time career.
Next year Amanda and the cover model on Six Degrees of Separation, Alejandro Salomone who plays Nico in the book, are travelling to Italy, where the book is set, to film some of the scenes so stay tuned for that!
