Review of Slightly Spellbound by Kimberly Frost

Slightly Spellbound by Kimberly Frost
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tammy Jo is back better than ever.

When the first book, Would-Be Witch, was released in 2009 I was instantly hooked. Sucked in my Tammy Jo's goofy antics, crazy life, and magic induced antics.

I waited patiently, full of anticipation for each new book to come out. Then after Halfway Hexed was released in 2011 things were left hanging...would the series continue?

Finally in 2014 fans get to once again be immersed into the magical misfiring's of Tammy Jo's life.

And I'm not disappointed at all. It was like meeting up with an old friend and picking up right where we left off.

As the book opens Tammy Jo is still torn between Bryn Lyons the man who loves her magic and all and her ex-husband Zach with whom she shares a lot of history, but not all of it is good.

But she does finally make a solid choice in this book and I don;t think too many fans will be disappointed with it.

But the choice isn't the entire focus of the book. Tammy Jo has been approached by a wacky witch who brings more trouble Tammy's way- as if she needed any help attracting danger. But Tammy Jo, the nice person she is, decides to help this witch anyway. At great peril to herself.

The drama that ensures is sometimes hilarious, always dangerous, and for some reason has a tendency to leave Tammy Jo minus her clothes a lot. I chalk that up to the fairy part of her aching to get out and get her as close to nature as possible.

The end...wow I really didn't see that coming. I knew something was up but not that.

I think we should be prepared to see new characters and adventures in the upcoming books. I can't wait.

The Story Behind the Story-Son of Dragons by Andrea Cooper

The Story Behind the Story
In order for me to explain the story behind the story of Son of Dragons Book 2 Legends of Oblivion, I must go back to the beginning and Book 1 briefly.
The Garnet Dagger was the first fantasy/ paranormal romance novel I wrote. Previously, I wrote historical romance.
I had finished watching Underworld in the movie theaters and loved it. I enjoyed the first person narrative and the (*spoiler alert) *werewolf/vampire hybrid.
I thought if a vampire can bite a werewolf and create something different, what if a vampire were to bite an Elvin? A creature of light and magic? How would that change the craving of blood and other dark gifts?
After I finished The Garnet Dagger, I realized there was much more story to write. Then, Son of Dragonsfreed me to explore this world in more depth and detail. And more characters came forward to be included in this series.
Son of Dragons went through many revisions and rewrites before Mirhana and Landon’s journey to love could be fulfilled.
Mirhana had closed her heart due to human friends and lovers lost by death and disease. Landon, trapped in a palace, longed to be free of his constraints and make a name for himself besides Prince.
I wrote Son of Dragonsin a relatively short time. The story flowed easily; and even today, this story sweeps me into its world every time I read it.
I have always loved dragons and never thought of them in the typical ‘western’ world sense as being evil. I think of them being good or bad based on their actions.
This is the first shifter story I have written. However, I enjoyed the characters and world so much; I will write more shifter novels.
The Garnet Dagger, my first fantasy/paranormal romance, was motivated by the movie Underworld. The characters, world, and story of The Garnet Dagger freed my inspiration to write Son of Dragons.
I could not have written Son of Dragons, without first creating The Garnet Dagger Book 1 in this series. However, as a reader, I created Son of Dragons to be a standalone novel as well. So it is not essential to read Book 1 or 1.5, but I think the world I created is richer with all the stories.

Son of DragonsBook 2Legends of Oblivion SeriesAndrea Cooper
Book Description:
In a time of false peace, the dead rise as soldiers for the Warloc’s scheme. For thousands of years he has stood ready for the final battle. Though the witch and her cursed Elvin have destroyed his physical body, now with his protégé, he has honed a new way to wage war.
Shunned by her own people and weary-hearted from centuries of lost loves, Elvin warrior Mirhana scours the land to silence the undead. Her heart has turned as cold as the sword she wields, until a prince seeks her aid.
Never has Prince Landon met a woman like Mirhana. Both beautiful and deadly, she haunts his dreams. The battle at hand becomes more enchanting than fighting to remain true to his unseen betrothed.
When a traitor emerges, new alliances are tested and the only remaining hope is to follow the prophecy and find the ... Son of Dragons.

Son of Dragons – Book 2 About the Author:
Growing up in Houston, Texas, Andrea has always created characters and stories. But it wasn't until she was in her late twenties that she started writing novels.
What happened that ignited the writing flame in her fingers? Divorced, and disillusioned by love songs and stories. They exaggerate. She thought. Love and Romance are not like that in the real world. Then she met her husband and realized, yes love and romance are exactly like the songs and stories say. She is now a happy wife, and a mom to three kids (two boys and a girl).
Andrea writes paranormal and historical romance. When not writing or reading, one may find Andrea dancing in Zumba.
She believes in the power of change and counting each moment as a blessing. But most importantly, she believes in love.

Death Toll Ghost Wars Saga Book 2 by Robert Poulin

Echoes of Madness (excerpt from the Ghost Wars Saga book 3)
The following is a draft version of what is currently chapter 1 of Echoes of Madness, the third book in the Ghost Wars Saga. This is a draft, it hasn't been revised or edited; my editor hasn't even seen it yet. I present it because I think its pretty cool despite its early stage. Veronika Kane will be sharing view point time with Alrik Solheim in Echoes of Madness, this chapter is from the troll's view point. Alrik is first introduced in Death Toll, I hope this taste of the next book will make you hungry to read Wail of the Banshees and Death Toll if you haven't done so already.
Chapter One
            What do you do when confronted by a gang of AK-47 wielding dwarves?            If you're a normal human being, your choices are pretty much limited, surrender or die. But if you're a troll, like I am, you have a couple of additional options, most of which end in a world of hurt for both sides.            It was a black night, a heavy curtain of clouds hid the light of the moon and threatened to drench the city in cold rain. The blocky shapes of warehouses on either side of the narrow street added to the shadowy darkness. Behind me, the sound of the Delaware River lapping at the docks and bulk freighter ship was loud, muffling out other sounds that would have warned me of the ambush. There were cargo containers strewn about haphazardly, waiting for pickup. Other objects provided cover for lurking threats; a parked truck there, a crane holding a suspended container here, and a forklift a few feet away. Though the Packer Avenue Marina Terminal was open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, this small section of the one hundred and twelve acre port facility was supposed to be clear of any traffic.            My orders had been clear, go to the port, find container 11003563, break into it, and retrieve a smaller spirit steel container covered in Celtic runes. Everything had gone according to plan at first, I'd rolled in after midnight driving a small Holt Logistics truck. The glamour I wore hid my true nature, presenting me as a large muscular man in a three piece suit. As far as anyone  was concerned, I was just a Holt Logistics representative taking inventory. I'd had to leave the truck further away than I would have preferred due to cargo containers obstructing the narrow streets, but at least the area was clear of watching eyes as I'd been informed would be the case. I located the targeted cargo container with ease, it was just a hundred feet from the docks as expected and the huge lock barring its door clicked when I grasped it and used my will to force it to open. The rune covered blue steel container within was much heavier than I'd expected but was no impediment to my prodigious strength. I'd locked the container back up and headed back towards my waiting truck.            I was half way between the cargo container and the truck when the dwarves struck. There were seven of them and they'd clearly been waiting for me. They didn't say a word, didn't give me the opportunity to surrender or anything, they simply stepped out from their hiding places, leveled their AK-47s at me, and opened fire. I instinctively raised the spirit steel container and used it as a shield as I dove for cover. Luckily the dwarves weren't using blood iron bullets but apparently the expense of such armaments  wasn't deemed worthwhile for a single troll. That was a big mistake on their part. Though seven dwarves armed with machine guns was overkill against a single foe in most cases, hell hath no fury like a pissed off Troll.            Most of the bullets ricocheted of the sprit steel container causing no harm to it, not even a scratch, but a dozen or so slammed into me. They didn't penetrate very far into me though as my mottled brown hide was tougher than an oak tree. I dropped the glamour that disguised me as a normal man and roared a challenge to the dwarves. I flexed my muscular, ten foot tall body and the armor piecing bullets that had struck me were ejected from me in a shower of tinkling music as they hit the pavement at my feet. The dozen small wounds across my body immediately began to seal up as my regenerative powers kicked in. The dwarves were no longer being quiet, orders were being shouted out in their guttural tongue. The shelter of the Cargo container that I'd dived behind wouldn't protect me for long, who knew what other toys the mercenaries of the Dawn Court had at their disposal. I put the rune covered container down and poked my head out to see what the dwarves were up too.            Dwarves and trolls both have their origins in the frozen north of Scandinavia. The dwarves had primarily been builders and crafters while the trolls were primarily primitive war mongers, constantly caught up in tribal conflict. The two races lived for hundreds of years in a symbiotic relationship where various troll tribes allied with dwarven clans that provided them with masterworked weapons. Everything changed when mankind expanded Northward. The dwarves fit into human society just fine, they were able to pass themselves off as deformed or half grown men with useful skills. The trolls however were monstrous demons to mankind, and so began a war between the two races that led to the near extinction of the trolls. The enmity between dwarves and trolls was due to the dwarven abandonment of their old allies and support of humanity. The dwarves were the difference in the war, providing human champions such as Beowulf with magical troll slaying weapons that devastated the proud trolls. That was centuries ago, we lost the war but we sill survive today. The war against us has continued, their hasn't been a program to save us though we are an endangered species. Those of us who have survived are the scariest mother fuckers our race has to offer.            A hale of bullets greeted the appearance of my head as I tried to get a glance at what was going on. I had to pull back quickly but the glance had shown me what I was up against. Five dwarves remained well positioned to pour fire into me the moment I showed a pinky. The real threat were the two dwarves stationed about a hundred feet away at the mouth of an alley. The two were crouched over a SMAW, a Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon. They were loading it with what appeared to be a thermo baric rocket. How they'd gotten such restricted military weaponry didn't matter, what did is that its purpose was to destroy bunkers or tanks, these dwarves weren't playing around. I had seconds before the container I hid behind, myself, and the warehouse behind me would be reduced to slag. The spirit steel container would likely survive though.            I took a deep breath and launched myself from the cover of the cargo container. Bullets ripped into me as I ran for the forklift. I hadn't brought the spirit steel container to use as a shield, I needed both hands free. I roared in rage and agony as scores of bullets tore  me up, it felt a lot like what a person would suffer after stepping on a large wasp nest. As I reached the forklift, I saw one of the dwarves at the alley stand and start to point the SMAW at me. Without pausing, I grabbed the forklift, hefted it, and threw it towards the dwarf. The forklift sailed through the air, arcing and then plummeting straight for the two dwarves. The four foot tall, heavily bearded men stared in dumb disbelief as death came so swiftly upon them. They didn't even have time to scream. The forklift hit the ground with such a tumultuous crash that the crunching of bone was drowned out. I didn't pause to see if I'd killed them both, for now it was good enough that the SMAW's had been put out of commission. Standing around to gloat on a battlefield is a sure fire way to get killed, a moving target is always harder to deal with. I charged the nearest container that a dwarf was using for cover and slammed into it shoulder first. The container slid ten feet back, its steel bottom shrieking all the way until it smashed into the warehouse wall behind it. The thunderous impact collapsed the wall and knocked another dwarf from his purchase on top the container, the dwarf that had taken cover was likely a puddle of jelly.            With a single fluid motion, I drew my great two-handed blood iron sword from its sheath strapped to my back. Before the dwarf who'd fallen from the container could recover, I swept his head from his shoulder with a powerful sweep of my sword. Another dwarf stepped from its hiding place and leveled an M202 at me. The dwarf smiled and pulled the trigger before I could react. The impact of the weapons M74 rocket round sent me flying across the street to crash into a container nearly twenty feet away. The rocket tore a whole in my upper thigh, but before the incendiary round could explode and burn me alive with its organometallic compound known as TEA, I suppressed its combustive reaction by using one of the rings on my right hand. The remaining dwarves stepped out from their cover and moved towards me expecting me to go up in flames at any moment. Normally they would have been correct to be certain of my impending doom, nothing was more dangerous to a troll than fire. But I'm Alrik Solheim, last of Grendel's progeny, and I have my own toys. Among them is a ring that protects me from fire. The remaining dwarves died swiftly, their shocked eyes glared at me accusingly as I cut them down without mercy.

What started out as a routine call led to so much more…
My name is Veronika Kane, and I’m the Captain of the Ghost Watch in the reborn city of Shadow Philadelphia. After we disposed of the city’s previous master and his minions, things were looking up, but in war things are never that easy. A routine call with Detective Frank Cooper blew the cover off of an elaborate scheme to plunge the city of brotherly love into chaos. When Necromancers, Were creatures, and the horrors of Chaos come together it can’t mean anything good.
With new and old enemies joining forces against us, I’m going to need all the help I can get. Lucky for me, my old friend Frank Cooper will be there to lend a hand, along with Brianna, a strong willed were-ferret, and the stormy eyed wizard Nathaniel Carter. I just hope it will be enough to save everyone.
This time, our enemies aren’t just attacking us in Limbo; this time, they are taking the battle to the streets of the living world and its unknowing citizens. If the Old Ones rise, I don’t think there will be anything anyone can do to stop them.

Can Werewolves and Vamps Be ReincarnatedIf you were a wer...

Can Werewolves and Vamps Be Reincarnated
If you were a werewolf or vampire and you took a sliver bullet or stake through the heart, and if you were reincarnated, would you still have the same soul, wanting to drink blood or rip faces off? What if the soul of Dracula, the granddaddy of all vamps came back inside a nun? And what if the memories from that former life came through the nun? Wow, I would suspect that the sister would have trouble at Mass, or at least be in as much turmoil as my main character in Egyptian Moon – Return, when an ancient Egyptian princess exerts her life into Megan’s.
Freshman Megan Smart’s battle began by touching an ancient Egyptian Artifact at a museum. We really need to be careful about touching old stuff, so if you discover a coffin hidden inside an old castle in Transylvania don’t climb inside. Fare warning.
·       Reincarnation is defined as follows:·       The rebirth of a soul in a new body.·       The Transmigration of the soul or metempsychosis·       A person or an animal in which a particular soul is believed to have been reborn.
Most would agree that Jacob Black (portrayed by Taylor loutner) in Twilight is by far the most heart throbbing werewolf of all times. But what if Twilight was all real and the soul (spirit) that overtook Jacob and the other boys from his tribe when they reached a certain age were from werewolves that have lived in other time periods? What if Jacob Black was in fact the tormented werewolf character, Waldemar Daninsky, who killed and maimed in a dozen films in the 1980s or even more thought provoking, what if Waldemar Daninsky got his skills from The Curse of the Werewolf , where the unlucky recipient of werewolf-ness was ‘kinda’ like Jacob Black, born into this … perhaps soul.
Back to Egyptian Moon – Return: Megan Smart, with the help her mother and this empathetic doctor, begins to unfold the true nature of her strange occurrences. Read this short synopsis.
A freshman learns how to adapt to college life while resisting reincarnation. How will Megan Smart’s memories survive under the aggression of an ancient Egyptian soul who is determined to RETURN. And what in God’s name does this teal eyed stalker want?
After she touches an artifact at a New York museum, Megan Smart has a sexually charged vision involving an ancient Egyptian couple. When she leaves home to attend the same college as her star quarterback boyfriend, Tyler, she is caught making-out with a dark eyed stranger at a frat party. Normally shy and reserve, Megan struggles with what she’d done and trembles because of the irresistible attraction she feels for this gorgeous stranger.
At the point of mental exhaustion, Megan goes home to meet with an empathic doctor, who had been training her mother in astrology. Instantly, Dr. Epstein taps into the root of Megan’s personality changes. Megan had connected with a past life—one who intends to take-over hers.
Egyptian Moon- Return brings back to life the fascination of ancient Egypt, plants it into a college campus, and in the process created a powerful paranormal series you will not forget. I’d like to sum up this post by answering my own question asked: Can Werewolves and Vamps Be Reincarnated? Absolutely, they do come back!

Interview and Giveaway with Ana Fawkes

What inspired you to become an author? – I just simply love to write and share stories. It’s fun to sit down and create something.
Do you have a specific writing style? – Not sure if I have a set ‘style’ … I just think of an idea, outline it a little, and then get it out of my head. From there I read it, figure out what I like and don’t like and then go back at it.
Do you write in different genres? – I guess… yes. I’ve always loved the steamier romance books. It’s what I read, so it’s what I write. I’ve always been a bit of a closet reader of paranormal and now I have the chance to be in it. Writing Full Moon Mercy allows me to bring in wolves, bikers, hot romance, and great characters. It’s a dream come true.
Why did you choose this genre? – I love paranormal because it’s edgy and sexy. Plus, bikers who could shift in wolves… not sure if there’s anything hotter right now. I wanted to do something different and this made sense to me. The story came to me fast and my outline was done in no time.
Do you title the book first or wait until after it’s complete?– I take notes while I’m writing. I usually end up with a handful of potential titles and then work it out from there. I try to have to title relate to something important within the book.
What book are you reading now? – A LOT! Too many to list… but I’m always reading either paranormal romance, dark erotic romance, or something similar. I’m really enjoying the dark stuff though right now, not sure why.

They're men. They're beasts. They are... FULL MOON MERCY.
Sitting next in line to run Full Moon Mercy Motorcycle Club, Lucas Trowwer has kept his fair share of secrets. Whether it's the cover up of murders in town or the fact that all the men that sit at the table are truly beasts on the inside, Lucas knows the line between paranormal and reality is very thin.
When bodies start piling up in town, the evidence points to a rival shifter crew looking to take down the MC, and the last thing Lucas needs is to save an innocent woman and fall for her. His trust must now reside in a woman who is beyond beautiful... and completely human. If things couldn't get any more confusing, a one night stand from Lucas's past comes forward with news that could change the path of Full Moon Mercy and Lucas is trapped within secrets, romance, and bloodshed.
There's a war brewing in the town of Mercy... and deep inside Lucas's beast of a heart.

Book Description:
Arabella Holmes was born different and raised different. After it became apparent she wouldn't fit the role of a proper 1900's lady, her father, Sherlock, called in some lingering favors, and landed her a position at the Mutter Museum. The museum was Arabella's dream; she was to become a purveyor of abnormal science. What her father called a BoneSeeker.
Henry Watson arrives at the Mutter Museum with a double assignment--to become a finder of abnormal antiquities and to watch over and keep Arabella Holmes. An easy task, if he could only get her to speak to him instead of throwing knives in his general direction.
But this is no time for child's play. The two teens are assigned to a most secret exploration, when the hand of a Nephilim is unearthed in upstate New York. Soon, Arabella and Henry are caught in a fight for their lives as scientific debate swirls around them. Are the bones from a Neanderthal ... or are they living proof of fallen angels, who supposedly mated with humans according to ancient scrolls?
Sent to recover the skeleton, they discover they are the second team to have been deployed and the entire first team is dead. And now they must trust their instincts and rely on one another in order to survive and uncover the truth.

Last Impressions 
The Marnie Baranuik Files 
Book 3
AJ Aalto

Book Description:

When an FBI Internal Affairs investigation lands the Preternatural Crimes Unit in a bureaucratic spank-fest, it feels like the perfect time for Marnie Baranuik to skip town and lend her expertise to a bear-sized Canadian cop who doesn't want her help with his case, his love life, or his car stereo. Back in her childhood stomping grounds, Marnie leaps into action, facing an exorcist in skinny jeans, a slap-happy specter, and an old friend up to new tricks. 

Are ghosts behind a string of unusual deaths? Why didn't her revenant companion, Lord Harry Dreppenstedt, tell her he had a Combat Butler? Can she survive dinner with her parents? With a shifty man of the cloth offering her soul's redemption, and a revelation that could change the future of her love life, she has her gloved hands full. She may not make a great first impression, but no one makes a Last Impression quite like Marnie. 

Excerpt: Last Impressions 
The Epp farm was tucked behind an industrial park on the east side of the canal, not far from the Twin Flight Locks. From the looks of it, the farm had been there for generations, pre-dating the industry by decades. It consisted of two barns and some hen houses, a maze of chicken-wire fences topped with fresh snow, and a light blue farmhouse with doors and shutters freshly-painted the brilliant yellow of egg yolk.Downwind, it stank of years’ worth of guano. So did Mr. Epp, who came waddling out of the smaller barn wiping his hands on his olive green coveralls, trudging through the snow. His padded, red plaid jacket was the type that always made me think of lumberjacks. Under a crammed-down, wrinkly Molson Canadian knit cap of washed-out grey, he had poker-straight orange hair complemented by a silver-streaked carroty handlebar mustache that he must have begun cultivating about the time I was born. I thought Batten’s upper lip would be sorely intimidated in the face of such manly follicles. When he opened his mouth to talk, I expected him to draw matching revolvers like Yosemite Sam. He was definitely the rootinest, tootinest, chicken-poopinest dude I'd ever laid eyes on.“Why, I know I said I’m up and at ‘em before dawn, officer, but I sure didn’t expect you to show before the sun did.”I whispered, “Is he for real?”Schenk elbowed me. Because of his height, his chiding elbow connected with my left ear. “I understand you witnessed some youths down by the pond recently,” Schenk said. “Why don’t we go inside and you can tell me all about that?”“Sorry, you misunderstood.” The farmer rubbed one hand with the other in rough strokes, thumb-in-palm. “I said I knew they were down there, but I didn’t personally see them.”“Oh?” Schenk withdrew a flip pad and his pencil from his inside jacket pocket, and scribbled a note.“The chickens saw them.”Schenk didn’t miss a beat. “The chickens.” He wrote this, too, as though it could possibly mean something.I raised my hand like I was in class. “Uh, how do you know the chickens saw them?”“They told me. Well, not me, directly.” Epp smiled widely. “Obviously, I can’t talk to chickens.”“You can’t,” Schenk clarified.“No, not me, no sir.” When he shook his head, Epp’s ginger handlebars waved hypnotically back and forth like magic tentacles. “So, I’ll just go get the Chicken Whisperer, and we’ll get to interviewing your star witnesses, officer.”Epp tromped off in the direction of the house. Schenk let a long, steady breath out of his nostrils and began to thump his pencil against his pad rapidly, taptaptap. My eyes snuck sideways and way, way up at him.“Did he just say Chicken Whisperer?”Unhappily, Schenk confirmed, “He did.”“Oh, I’m so glad I answered your call this morning.”“You owe me big time.”“Wait a second. You woke me up, told me to come with you under pain of replacement with some less-awesome psychic, and I owe you? What kind of happy horse hockey are you trying to pull, Longshanks?”“Hockey?” He paused, thoughtful. “I'll be damned. That's why he looks so familiar. He could be Lanny McDonald's twin brother.”What I knew about hockey would probably fit on a puck with room to spare, because I am the worst Canadian in the history of ever, so I kept my ignorance to myself. I thought he needed a pat on the arm to bolster his spirits, so I gave him one.He glanced down at me. “Getting anything off him, Big City Psychic?”“Not a thing,” I confessed. “The Blue Sense must not be awake yet.” I turned at the sound of the door. “Holy crispy crapsicles.”Epp thumped out the back door of the farmhouse wearing a floppy blond Marilyn Monroe wig and a quilted housecoat thrown over his overalls. He backhanded ropey platinum waves out of his hairy face. He’d smeared tangerine lipstick on his lips. It matched the color of his facial hair almost perfectly. He made me feel like Janet Leigh when the shower curtain tore open. It’s entirely possible I let out a little eep in lieu of a violin musical sting.Schenk said tentatively, “Mr. Epp?”“I’m Tina Epp, the Chicken Whisperer.” She handed Schenk a business card. “I’ll take you down to talk to Henny. She’s in charge of the girls out in the big barn. This way.”I whispered out the side of my mouth, “It’s that new horror movie: Mrs. Doubtfire Silences the Lambs.”Schenk clamped his lips together hard to keep a straight face and tucked the business card in his back pocket. “Uh, ma’am?” He followed her into the barn, clearing his throat. “Who's Henny? A hen?”The barn was lit by stark white fluorescents and warmed just enough to take the chill off. The smell of chickens was only mildly worse inside. Epp began rubbing her hands again.“She’s the Black Jersey Giant. Isn’t she a beaut? Now, hold on.”She approached the pens and began talking to the chicken. In clucks.I said, “How come you got a business card and I didn’t?” Schenk was working valiantly at keeping his shit together; he flicked me an annoyed glance, dug the card out, and handed it to me. It was warm from being tucked against his butt cheek and it read: Chickens: I “get” them. The hinky quotation marks made me wonder:  how exactly did Tina Epp “get” the chickens? She folded her fists into her armpits to make ersatz wings of her arms and used one boot to scratch at the dirt.“This might be the best-worst thing that’s ever happened to me,” I confided to the cop in a whisper, “and I’ve been chased by half-naked zombies cosplaying wildlife.”“Nope,” Tina reported to us, flexing her fingers. “Nope. Sorry. Henny says the girls don’t know nothing. Only the rooster was out.”I ventured, “And you can’t talk to the rooster?”“Aw, heck no, not me, Ma’am.” She batted at her wig again, spitting as strands of hair drifted and stuck to her mustache and lipstick: rookie make-up problem. It almost never happened to me anymore. Mostly because I stopped wearing lipstick.Schenk opened his mouth, and by the hitching of his belt, I figured he was going to tell Epp we’d be heading out. Epp held up one finger to tell us to wait. “You just hold them horses, officer. I’ll go on in and fetch the Cock Whisperer.”Schenk and I froze in mutual stunned silence, our eyes slinking sideways to each other’s, while Epp clomped back toward the house in her black rubber boots, rubbing her hands in one another. I wondered if Schenk realized his hand had drifted to check that his gun was in place.“Are you scared, too?” I whispered.“I’ve never been so afraid in all my days on the force,” he said.


About the Author: 
When not working on her horror novels, you can find her singing old Monty Python songs in the shower, eavesdropping on perfect strangers, stalking her eye doctor, or failing at one of her many fruitless hobbies. Generally a fan of anyone with a passion for the ridiculous, she has a particular weak spot for smug, pseudointellectual assholes and narcissistic jerks; readers will find her work littered with dark, imperfect creatures, flawed monsters and oodles of snark and has been known to swallow her gum.
