On Writing Witches
Good or bad, witches are some of my favorite characters to write. Several of my books have featured them. They always feel like people that play by their own set of rules. Writing a witch opens a kind of anything-can-happen door. 
When you look at the history of witch-hunting, the accusations always seemed to fly at the women that lived outside the norm. They were rarely the popular girls, unless they were popular with men. That always seemed to rile the bitter, basic bitties. Of course, that makes the witches interesting from the get-go.
In real life and in fiction, their relationships with their communities usually seem to be strained and/or complicated, which also makes for great stories. Are they open and honest about what they do or do they work in secret? Even if they do work in secret, it’s likely that someone knows something about what they’re doing or at least suspects. And how do those people react to them? They might blackmail them or use them, depending on the situation.
Most of the witches in my stories have been pretty modern. They’ve had to deal with aforementioned complicated community and personal relationships. They’re just regular people with some interesting abilities and problems. 
My most recent witches in my newest release, Wild Spirits of the Hollow, do not fit into that category. They aren’t Glenda the Good Witch. They aren’t even Elphaba.
They’re earth witches but not the happy, hippie kind. Their relationship with nature is deeper and more sinister. They sacrifice blood, theirs and that of others, and they are generally up to no good. The scariest part of their magic is how powerful it is, almost like the forest has no choice but to respond to their darkness and do their bidding. 
And the nearby villagers live in fear of them. There are no witch trials there. The people of the village aren’t even able to escape because the forest won’t let them.
There’s such a wide spectrum of creative potential that it’s no wonder witches appear so often in fiction. As for me, I plan to continue writing them: the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Shannon lies to almost everyone she meets. When she gets lost and winds up trapped in an Appalachian valley village, her lies don’t get her far.
Mistwalk Vale may look like a fairy tale, but nightmares lurk in the shadows.
Villagers are dying grisly deaths, their bodies reduced to bones and left in the streets for their friends and family to find. Worse, some people suspect that Shannon is involved. They accuse her of coming from the tribe of vicious earth witches down in the hollow.
A man named Owen believes Shannon is innocent. He tries to protect her as best he can, but there’s only so much he can do. She feels herself falling for him, despite her plan to leave as soon as she gets an opportunity.
Caught between angry mobs and an ancient darkness, she will be forced to fight for her survival. Can she save herself and the village before evil consumes them all?

Excerpt from Chapter 1 I stood at the edge of the trees, staring at the light deep within the forest. Between it and me, a sea of shadow concealed the underbrush and all that lurked there. This forest, like many other forests, would have its insects, snakes, tangles of who-knew-what, maybe wildcats or some other thing ready to pounce on and maim me.After hours of walking along a secluded, mountain highway, my brain was thoroughly scrambled. I knew enough to know that, and I knew enough to not fully trust what I was seeing.It might be a lie, the light, a mirage conjured by some desperate part of my mind. I'd told enough lies to others, why not myself?A fantasy of stumbling upon a cabin with friendly occupants swam through my mind. They’d have food left over from dinner, a plate they’d be happy to hand over to someone who really needed it, and I did really need it. Lunch was a distant memory, as well as the Skittles from my backpack, my bottle of water. If I made it anywhere alive, I would really have to reevaluate my packing priorities.I sighed. Unless I wanted to sleep next to the highway, that light was my only hope. I adjusted my backpack straps and stepped into the trees.I plodded through the darkness in high tops that weren’t made for terrain any more intense than a mall floor. I also regretted wearing shorts and a t-shirt because there was no trail, only weeds and trees and rustling sounds made by small animals nearby.All the while, the light in the distance remained bright, burning my eyes, but I kept my sights on it because that was hope, even if it never seemed to get any closer.I kept my mind off my creepy surroundings by considering who I would be for the people who awaited me. Had someone picked me up as I attempted to hitchhike, that lucky individual would’ve had the opportunity to hang out with a model, who was on her way to Miami. Everybody likes to hang out with famous people and people who are about to be famous. I’ve noticed this before. When I tell them whatever version of the story I’d concocted for the evening, their eyes would light up as if I had offered to take them along to fame and fortune.The model story was my go-to. I was lanky and odd looking in a way that some people found attractive or interesting, at the very least, plausible model material. This was not the person I would be in the cabin. I didn’t have the energy to keep up the behaviors that went along with that lie.Models didn’t eat substantial food. Models ate iceberg lettuce and drank lemon, cucumber water. My model did, anyway.There in the woods with possible food ahead of me, there was no way I could keep that up. I didn’t care what food someone shoved under my nose. The idea of grilled opossum made my mouth water. Boiled weeds? Fine. I'd eat anything.
I tried to come up with another story, but the most compelling at that moment was my own. Broken car. Girl wandering the woods in hope of finding food and shelter. I was filthy and growing filthier by the minute. If I had scissors in my backpack, I would’ve chopped off at least half of my long, brown hair just to get rid of the tangles. That evening, I wouldn’t have to fake a look of utter desperation. So I let the story be what it was.

Tagline: A mighty spirit walker with a personal grudge, set to destroy them both.
Book Description:
Adi and Honi journey to Southern Oklahoma to meet Honi’s Mekui’te tribe at the reservation where he grew up. Honi’s infectious excitement almost erases Adi’s apprehension at meeting his family, and she’s desperate to make a good impression.
When Adi is met with silent hostility that gets worse rather than better, she realizes there may be more to the initial resistance Honi had warned her to expect.
Honi is confused and hurt by his family’s reaction, and by Adi’s increasingly strange behavior. She’s claiming the spirit animals of his tribe are diseased and sickly, but they look just fine to him. On top of that, when Adi meets Honi’s ex, Nina, her jealousy gets way out of hand, and threatens to drive them apart.
While mysterious forces manipulate and distort their realities, can Honi and Adi join forces to figure out what is happening before it’s too late and they are separated forever?

Spirit Warrior – Excerpt, by Ella J. Smyth John called to his wife. “Nora? Did you make some coffee?”. Adi and Nora turned at the same time as John continued, “You’ll have time for a cup of coffee, right?”Honi nodded, although Adi could see he wasn’t keen. John boxed him lightly on the shoulder. "I forgot. Nora, do you know where Judy keeps that disgusting tea Honi likes?" Adi had to laugh at the relief on Honi’s face. They both disliked coffee and much preferred tea, although Honi could be convinced to drink latte macchiato or cappuccino, as long as there was at least fifty percent milk in the mix. And lots of sugar. And chocolate. Adi had no idea how he managed to drink these concoctions without weighing three-hundred pounds.Soon they sat around the small square kitchen table. While the couple brought Honi up to date on the gossip in Heota, Adi looked around. The linoleum floor was scuffed, with bits missing in high-traffic areas. Everywhere she looked, it was obvious there was little money. The curry-colored telephone on the wall dated back to the sixties. Adi couldn’t remember when she had last seen this color and a ten-foot cable. The two cats lay snuggled up to each other underneath the table, both fast asleep. Adi’s eyebrows as she stared at the sleeping creatures. This was very unusual. Spirit animals didn’t sleep unless their humans did. John and Nora didn’t look tired. Not tired enough to go to sleep, anyway. There were dark rings under John’s eyes, but the man was in his sixties. Adi didn’t know what he looked like usually. Maybe he was just… old?By the time they were finished with their tea and the cookies that went with it, Honi was impatient to see his parents. “They’ll be here any moment. They just had to run an errand,” John reassured him. He turned to Adi, and his eyes softened in the face of her obvious worry. “Jim feels bad about last night. It’ll be fine." He smiled at her. Adi nodded, wishing it were that simple.

Release Day Blitz Interview Only Chance by Trish Arcangelo

Did you always want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?

When I was a kid I’m pretty sure I wanted to be a princess or a famous actress or something equally unrealistic for me.  But since young adulthood romance author has topped my dream job list.  

What were your goals as an author and have any of them come true?

My first goal was to actually finish a book (I had a terrible habit of starting stories and never finishing).  My second goal was to get published, that was a huge dream realized.  Now, my goal is simply to write stories I enjoy that will hopefully find their way to readers who will enjoy them too. 

What genres do you normally write in?

I’m currently concentrating on contemporary romance, specifically my Chisholm Falls series.  But my first two romance books were a fantasy and an apocalyptic. 

Is there a genre you haven’t written in that one day you’d like to tackle?

Historical romance was my first love as a reader so maybe one day a historical would be fun.

What was the craziest thing you’ve ever done when it came to a storyline in your book?

I’m not sure it’s “crazy” but in my new release, ONLY CHANCE, the storyline follows Lucas and Fallon both in current day when they bump into one another and in the past when they first fell in love.  The first several chapters include scenes from both the present and the past.  I didn’t tell it in the conventional chronological way as I felt a second chance/old flame romance is essentially two stories in one so it’s important that they unfold at the same time.


Thank you so much for having me!

Book Description:
Fallon Gentry is back in her hometown after leaving an affluent life in Dallas, and her cheating ex-husband, behind.  She's ready to start over, even if that means dealing with the pain of her first love's betrayal left buried in the past.
 Lucas Chance is a working class guy leading a simple life.  He plays the part of the town ladies' man but deep down he's still reeling from old wounds, namely a heart shattered when the only woman he ever loved walked away.
They're both shocked when Fallon unknowingly shows up on Lucas's duplex door step, looking to rent the unit next door.  Lucas is too intrigued to tell her no and Fallon is too desperate for a place to live.  There's also the blazing attraction still between them.  Now as landlord and tenant, Fallon and Lucas battle their feelings.
Will they discover the truth behind what drove them apart and take their only chance at true love?

Excerpt: She knocked on the door.  “Lucas?”The door opened and an arm shot out.  Before she knew it she was pulled inside and the door slammed shut with her back against it.  The bank bag and paper slipped from her hand as he caged her in.“Where’s Laurel?” he rasped.“I-in the bathroom.”“Good,” he said, moments before his lips covered hers. He didn’t touch her anywhere but on her lips, his hands braced against the door on either side of her head and his rigid body inches from hers.  Somehow that only made it hotter. The intensity of that one contact was like a lightning strike, incinerating all rational thought.  There was nothing but the wicked mouth of the only man she’d wanted for as long as she’d wanted.Her lips and tongue submitted to his, following his lead as his mouth devoured her.  God, how she missed this.  Tears stung the backs of her eyes at the acute need, the longing.  She reached for him.Lucas broke the kiss.  “Don’t.”Her eyes fluttered open.  “W-what?”“If you touch me, I’ll lose it.”  His voice was husky and warm, the sound of sin.  “Why do you think I’m keeping my hands to myself?  It’s so I don’t take you right here.”Fallon felt dizzy with want, leaning in.  “But, can’t we just---”“I’ve been sitting in here all night thinking about what that asshole told me,” Lucas interrupted, leaning down to capture her eyes with his.  “Did you really call out for me, Duchess? All those nights, lying next to him?”
Her brain was screaming at her to lie.  To remember why she was here and the implications of her next words.  But the rest of her was still a quivering mass of pent up desire.  A younger woman who wanted only to please the man in front of her.  Her love.  “Yes,” she whispered.  “All the time.  I dreamed about you.”

About the Author:
Blair Drake believes in magic, especially the magic of stories with fantasy, adventures, romance, action, and surprises. She has loved writing and living in the stories of the Finding Magic series and is so excited to share the quests of the Gray Cliffs Academy students with her readers.
When she’s not writing about magic, she’s reading about it. Her influences are Cassandra Claire, Neil Gaiman, Rick Riordan, Garth Nix, and many more.
In the mortal plane, following the lure of magic has drawn Blair into strange and wonderful adventures from Australia to New York City, with many stops in between. She currently lives near Denver. Her very favorite spot is a red loveseat in her office, frequently shared with two cats, an outnumbered Dalmation, and occasionally her bewitched husband.
She might have gone to a school similar to Gray Cliffs Academy and would love to go through a magic portal. In the meantime, she’s creating her own in more books of magic.
