Bewitching Book Tours Haunted Halloween Spooktacular
Halloween is 92 days away!
That means you only have less than 45 days until you should start heavily promoting anything Halloween related- especially books with Halloween themes, paranormal settings, supernatural elements and horrifying stories.
The stores are already putting out Halloween decor. You should be planning your Halloween season promotions.
September and October are hot sales times for paranormal romance, urban fantasy, horror, paranormal erotica, and cozy mysteries with paranormal elements.
Bewitching Book Tours is offering a fun Halloween Themed Book Tour option open to all authors who have a book featuring supernatural characters, terrifying tales, haunted homes, wicked or wonderful witches, vampires, werewolves, demons and more.
This is a Halloween tour option, not a group event where your book could get lost in the crowd of other books.
This special tour package offers authors individual tours combined with the cross promotion of an overall Halloween event, a group Rafflecopter, and a group facebook party. Yes, each author receives their own Halloween themed tour during Bewitching Book Tours’ Haunted Halloween Spooktacular from September 18- October 31.
Each participating author will receive:
* 1 1/2 month Halloween Theme Virtual Book Tour (retail value $235)
* Custom tour banners
* Professional media kit
* Option to offer review copies
* Group rafflecopter for cross promo
* Time slot in Halloween Facebook Party
There will be one group Rafflecopter for the event- this will offer a giveaway sponsored by Night Owl Reviews in addition to one item each author wishes to giveaway (optional). Each author can have 3 entry options on the rafflecopter- newsletter sign up, Twitter, and Facebook.
In October there will be a multi-author Facebook party for all Spooktacular Authors. (Retail value $10 per author)
Total retail value for this event is $245, sign up now and get it for just $100
To participate you’ll need to provide details for one book you wish to promote including a high resolution jpeg of your cover and an excerpt.
You’ll also need to provide a Halloween theme guest blog( which can be recipes, music playlists, costume ideas or DIY tutorial, etc- anything Halloween related), short Halloween flash fiction story, or a Halloween poem. (you may submit 2 of these items)
For the Facebook Party you’ll need quizzes, games and a few small prizes for your author party block (ebooks, $5 gift cards, etc).
The early bird fee for this promotion is $100 per author for one book. If you wish to promote additional books each additional book is $50.
Price goes up to $150 per author August 1.
This event has a limited number of spaces available. Payment is required at time of sign up to reserve your space.

Tagline: Scarred but powerful, Black Ridge Wolf Pack leader Aldric Forst has been selected to mate with an Omega—but first he must protect her from the dark forces that would corrupt her magic.
Book Description:
In a realm of elves, ogres and white witches, where danger is ever-present, Princess Helena Lichtenberg lost her parents at a young age. Raised by her uncle and aunt, Helena values family above all else. Now, as decreed by tradition, it is time to select a mate.
HER ALPHA
Enormous, scarred and scary, Black Ridge Wolf Pack leader Aldric Forst has never drawn the eye of any Omega. Why would he? But, on this, the night of what he swears is his last selection celebration, everything is different. One of those most beautiful, magical and powerful women, the niece of the king and queen themselves, wants him. And Aldric has never wanted anything more in return. No force—no matter how dark, no matter how powerful—will take Helena from him.

EXCERPT:
Princess Helena took that moment to turn toward him again. Instantly, his heart raced, his palms became sweaty, and a nervous excitement rolled around in his stomach, which he wasn’t entirely sure he liked. After all, he was a feared warrior, people looked to him for guidance and strength, and now he felt like he was going to pass out because a gorgeous woman was smiling at him with such joy. As Amalia spoke to Helena, the princess’s small omega stone on her forehead glowed, and it was impossible to miss the waves of happiness coming from her.“Looks like the princess is happy you agreed to dance with her, brother.” Godric looked about ready to burst with excitement. “Should I call home and have the rest of our party get on the road?”“No, not yet, Godric. Let’s see how the evening goes first. Then we can call in reinforcements.” Aldric didn’t want to get ahead of himself. He refused to be let down again. “What do you think Lady Amalia meant by she’d waited years?”“I have no idea, but I do know the only way you’re going to find out is by asking the princess herself. Ready to waltz, brother?”“At least all mother’s lessons are about to come in handy. What if she expects our normal life to be like this?” Aldric panicked.“Okay, now you’re just looking for problems that aren’t even here yet. Get out there and sweep that princess off her feet with the alpha you are. Wait until I tell Cassandra she was right yet again.” Godric had a look of absolute glee at the prospect of making that call back to the pack. “Yeah, well, if Cassandra was right about this, brother, then she also predicted that I would have to fight for my omega.”Godric turned to face Aldric and all humor fled from his expression. “If we have to fight for your omega, then it’ll damn well be one we win, I can assure you of that. If this night goes well, I’ll be calling in more warriors as well. They will be here before the sun rises.” Both Theron and Tofa nodded in agreement, even if Theron continued to tap away on his tablet.
“We shall see, Godric. Let’s hope I don’t step on her foot. Then it may be the royal guard we need to fight.” Aldric laughed as he, Godric, Theron, and Tofa stood and made their way across the ballroom to stand in front of King Leonidas, Queen Alexandra, and Princess Helena.Princess Helena was simply stunning; her emerald green eyes beamed with happiness as he approached. Aldric had never felt this level of immediate attraction before in his lifetime. Helena’s curly blonde hair was pulled away from her face, showcasing her royal tattoo and tiny vines twisting down her slender neck to her collarbone. Her smile lit up everyone and everything around her and her green eyes shone with happiness.Aldric, Godric, Theron, and Tofa stood before the king and queen, bowing respectfully and waiting for King Leonidas to speak. The entire time, Aldric hoped like hell he didn’t screw this up. The room had grown strangely quiet.

The hardest I’ve ever worked was when I decided to become a serious novelist. It seemed so easy to start. Typing words into a computer? Far from strenuous. In my estimation, there were only two steps to becoming a bestselling author:
Step 1 – Write the next great novel
Step 2 – Everyone will love it
Only, it didn’t happen that way. Step 1 quickly morphed into several pit traps. Looking back, it was all stuff I should have known. I tried to jump past the hard work, and anything worth doing well takes work.
This post is a collection of some thoughts around the largest blunders I made. They aren’t earth-shattering truths that instantly propel you to Step 2, but let’s hope by reading you evade some of the pits I fell into along the way.
Time
Few of us have the luxury of an abundance of free-time. Work, social, and familial obligations take many forms; with each claiming an ever-growing block of time. Getting away to write is a challenge.
Grabbing an hour here and there is better than nothing, but it is hard to make any real progress on a novel if you are constantly context switching. I found the work got easier when I gave myself three to four hours to concentrate on writing.
“But that’s just not possible for me,” she said. “I have {insert reason}.”
I don’t mean to come off as rude, but it’s up to you to find the time. I am not dismissing the importance of {insert reason}. You know your situation best. However, don’t expect to get the novel written if you don’t spend time writing.
Place
Just as important as finding the time, is finding the place. Where will you feel most comfortable spending hours staring at a screen (or notebook) trying to figure out the right word – so that you don’t sound like a parrot who uses the same phrase repeatedly.
For me, it was getting out of the house. The home was full of distractions, obligations, and temptations.
“I’ll just watch this episode of my favorite DVR guilty pleasure,” I said. “Then I’ll get back to writing. I promise!”
Nope. That didn’t work. I got more done when I got out of the house. Surprisingly, the noise of a busy public place helped me focus. And if my coffee shop offered an ‘Author in Residence’ award, I’d certainly win by ‘hours in residence’ alone!
Outline
Writers with more success and experience than me have discussed this topic ad-nauseum. It is critical that you outline the story – before you get started.
When I started Hunted, I had a general idea of what I wanted in the book. I jotted down three to five scenes that would be cool, but I didn’t draft a complete outline.
I carried on, grabbing an hour here and there, thinking I was making progress. I allowed the story to ‘organically’ develop – or that’s what I told myself. Crafting the story in this way left me in a lurch more than once. Jonathan got stuck. I wrote him into strange corners and offered no way of returning to the main story arc.
In all honesty, however, it wasn’t Jonathan’s fault. It was my fault. I had no idea what was next, and I was expecting Jonathan to tell me. Only, he’s a fictional character – he can’t tell me anything.
Note: There will those who disagree; those who say characters are alive and write themselves.
You’re a fortunate person! However, it’s not a likely development for a novice writer who spent no more than three hours writing each week.
Why deal yourself an insurmountable hand when you are starting out?
Write an outline and modify it to accommodate exciting changes as they develop. Having a general guide to where you’re going helps.
Seriously, Take it Seriously
Moving from ‘Hobby Writer’ to ‘Author’ should include a plan for tracking your time and expenses. Knowing how much time is spent writing a book is invaluable.
When I wrote Hunted, it took me four months. I can’t tell you the number of hours, as I didn’t formalize my tracking until I started book two. However, with book two I have a clearer understanding of how much time it takes me to complete a novel. That information is key to planning important due dates and deadlines.
Knowing how long a first draft will take helps me coordinate with my editor. From there, I can determine at which point I’ll need to engage the cover design artist. Which all leads up to my marketing plan, and the most important date of all – when the novel is released.Without tracking the details by clocking in and out from my job as an author, I can’t accurately forecast. Using something as simple as a spreadsheet to record the essential details will put that information at my fingertips.
Each time you sit down to write, track the Date, Time-In, and Time-Out. Oh, and make sure you record which book!
Don’t give up
If the call to write is there, then make sure you write. When you finally hold a copy of your novel in your hands for the first time, it makes it worth the work.
Good luck on your journey. And remember, don’t give up!

Excerpt:
My brain righted itself, and I could pull my thoughts together. Neither demon seemed to possess magic. Instead, the creatures relied on their strength and speed. There was no matching those physical attributes. To survive, I would need to use a different tactic. Direct confrontation had failed, twice. My next trick was misdirection.“Tell me,” I said. “How did a low-powered summoner rank high enough to afford two Demon Nobles?” Both demons, who were whispering to one another across the room, turned to face me. “You know us,” Cresh said with a tone of surprise. The demon still pressed one hand tightly against his wounded side. “Yes,” I said. “You knew and you still entered to battle?” “To be fair,” I said. “I had no idea who was waiting.”Cresh huffed a small laugh; Mindal growled. Well, I thought. I know which one is the smart one.

Excerpt:
Her heart nearly stopped when a hand slid over her mouth and another disarmed her. “I’m Commander Rodgers from the USS Washington, and you’re coming with me now,” an American growled in her ear. From the girth pressing against her back, he was solid—but Olivia could take him.Grinding her teeth, she threw an elbow to his sternum. He blocked—so like a hotshot. Few people were fast enough to react to one of her strikes. But she’d nail him with her second try. Whipping around, she aimed a kick at his groin, but he blocked that, too. At least six-two and faster than an asp, Rodgers stopped her next kick by catching her ankle and giving it a twist—a warning.“Enough. Come.” Jesus Christ, his eyes were the color of a teal lagoon and they drilled into her like daggers.She shook her head. God, she wasn’t about to go anywhere with dagger-eyes. Not without a fight.Suited up in scuba gear, his facemask cocked atop his head, the man had to be daft. “What the fuck, Aquaman?” she whisper-shouted. “If anyone sees you, we’ll both be shot before the first question’s asked.”His eyebrows slanted downward over those damned eyes. “Yeah?” he whisper-shouted back. “Everyone on this boat will be dead in fifteen. If you want to live, you’ll do as I say.”Olivia’s mouth went dry. She blinked, shaking her head. He had to be mistaken. One more day and al-Umari’s ass would be hers. “Are you off your trolley? I’ve put too much into this project to have it blown to smithereens. Call off your dogs before you cock-up the entire op. Now.”“No can do,” he said like her hard-earned cover wasn’t about to become the greatest wipeout in MI6 history. “Sorry to ruin your party, but there’s a bomb attached to the hull. Can’t be killed, can’t be dislodged, and if you stand here arguing with me for one more second, you’ll explode into so many pieces, you won’t make a meal for a goddamned minnow.”Those are my choices?“Christ!” She jammed her finger under his nose. “When this is over, your ass is mine.”
Book Two in the ICE series, BODY SHOT, will release on August 29th


Amy embarked on her writing journey shortly after she completed an MBA with Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. Her first manuscripts were suspense novels and were never published. She calls them baptism by fire—lessons in learning to write fiction. These lessons, combined with several writing conferences and classes, led her to write her first published book, Boy Man Chief, which won the League of Utah Writers award for Best Manuscript, and the Spark Book Award.
A lot has happened since, with some of the highlights being Rise of a Legend winning the national RONE award for Best Time Travel; hitting the Amazon Top 100 Bestseller list; and a host of other accolades.
Amy enjoys the freedom of authorship and the opportunity to work creatively every day. She has lived in Australia, Bermuda and has spent extensive time in Scotland. Whenever possible, she visits the places she writes about to add vibrant realism to her stories.
She loves writing Scottish historical romance, and now she’s adding romantic suspense to the mix. Come along for the ride!
