The Thunderstorm Paranormal-Scope

We are having thunderstorms. I hope if anyone out there is similarly afflicted, please take care and go to a shelter if it turns out to be more than a thunderstorm.

I am not qualified to read either stars or planets. I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
Gremlins are into breaking appliances. Time to check everything out and make sure it works. How old is that toaster? Some things will need to be replaced.

Taurus:
Mermaids are singing and floating on the waves. They love the smell of barbecues. It’s time to get together with friends and grill!

Gemini:
Faeries are collecting pretty rocks to beautify their homes. Consider what new curtains or sofa cushions can do to brighten your place.

Cancer:
Werewolves are all about self-care. Discuss an exercise program with your physician. Consider eating healthy too.

Leo:
Vampires love to fall in love. Sometimes it’s a person, but other times it’s a book or piece of music. Broaden your reading and music materials. Enjoy life.

Virgo:
Shapeshifters think that broadening ones mind with a little trip to a new location is the way to go. Plan a daycation for yourself.

Libra
Goblins are reviewing savings plans. You might want to review your savings too. Don’t let big priced repairs catch you off-guard.

Scorpio:
Unicorns are running down your street. If you don’t go out much, you might be missing a lot.

Sagittarius:
Sirens are singing their songs that lure victims in. They are the ocean’s version of scammers. Be cautious.

Capricorn:
Sprites do everything very fast. That doesn’t mean you have to. Slow down and smell the flowers.

Aquarius:
Pixie dust can give you excellent dreams. So can reading a fun book.

Pisces:
Elves enjoy going through the history of their family. They also record their personal history to pass down. Journals that are passed down create a treasure. Think about doing that.


Have a fun summer.

Beach Read: Vampire King of New York By Susan Hanniford Crowley

There’s a reason why Max is King. Find out. Available on Amazon

Here’s a fun Beach Read for your enjoyment. Vampire King of New York is steamy (yes, it is written for the 18+), filled with adventure, and is incredibly romantic, heroic, and just plain fun.

Maximillion Vander Meer is the Vampire King of New York. Readers can’t be wrong when “Max” ended up on the Hot Reads and Top 100 Vampire Romances lists on Amazon (#38) when it first came out. It’s now in its 2nd printing with a new cover and new readers are discovering it.

Readers in the past preferred walking up to me at events and tell me how much they enjoyed “Max.” Sadly, not everyone who loves the book writes an Amazon review. I do get lovely email about how much Max is loved.

*

Blurb for Vampire King of New York

Max Vander Meer is a modern day Viking, CEO of VMeer Industries, and a Vampire. He makes a plea to the Goddess Freya to find the only woman who can heal his heart, the woman haunting his dreams. But, the Goddess strikes a bargain with him. To find this special woman, Max must return to the city he helped build-New York, which is threatened by an ancient terror.

When he meets Evelyn, he is astounded. Could she be the one who inhabits his dreams? But Evelyn is haunted by loss and betrayal.

How can Max win her love when she doesn’t trust him as a man, and she doesn’t want to be a vampire? If Max returns to Iceland without her, he will be encased in ice . . . forever!

*

Excerpt from Vampire King of New York

Maximillion Vander Meer stood in the jagged mouth of the ice cave with a wolf skin girding his loins and fur boots on his feet. A frigid breeze breathed its welcome over his bare chest, arms and legs.

He smiled and closed his eyes to step back into the Viking past he loved, where he was free. He threw back his head and howled in exuberant abandonment. Then he ripped off the wolf skin and kicked off his boots. Max ran to the shadowed alcove he knew so well.

A flicker of the past sparked in his brain and Vikings filled the cave, their voices rich in the chant of a ritual forgotten in the modern age, invoking the protection and wisdom of Odin, Thor, and Freya. Then he blinked and they were gone. Their voices silenced by time.

Every time he entered this sacred place hollowed out by his ancestors, their presence worked magic and distracted his weary heart from the curse inhabiting his body. This power brought him back to the Viking warrior deep within him, as only here could he reconnect with his lost humanity. Every passing moment the curse pulled him further from whom and what he’d once been. That was the danger in being a vampire. It wasn’t the chill of his body, but the distance that crept into his heart. He was on the edge of forgetting how the laughter of his son warmed him to his toes. The memory of Svenna’s delicious heat as her soft skin lay against his flesh igniting the fire between them, slipped through his fingers like water. Inhaling the fragrance of flowers in her hair had made him feel powerful. Even the excitement of the next adventure filled with salt spray and swords clashing faded away. His heart no longer raced.

The dire flaw in immortality was the sameness. Centuries of monotony blurred into others. Few ancient ones survived the deadly soul- numbing tedium of every day being the same. Closing on a thousand years, too many chose to lie in the sun and burn in agony over the course of two days until they crisped away in the wind. When the true burning began, night, the blessed night, offered no reprieve. The recent “chosen” death of his friend Coelhus was etched in his memory, making Max’s need more urgent than it had ever been. Coelhus had given up. After centuries of dreaming of a woman named Celeste, he ceased to believe she could be real. Coelhus could no longer bear the loneliness and the endless searching. Consumed by his dashed dreams, he gave his body to the sun. Max stayed with him in his last moments, and while he couldn’t deter his friend, he resolved not to end in ashes himself.

Time had robbed him of love, but today, in this moment, Max meant to get it back. Right now! Only this sanctuary of ice and stone seemed real to him; the human world faded into insignificance. Even the responsibility he owed his own kind lost its meaning. He had come to make a last sacrifice. If it didn’t work, he didn’t know what he would do next. His belief, however antiquated when viewed by others, never failed him.

He had nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Since the death of his wife many centuries before, nothing more could happen to his empty heart. The feeling of being human haunted him from time to time like an elusive fragrance or taste. Memories were a different matter. The curse, as he called it, made every memory eternal, the pain as raw and consuming as the day he’d lost her.

Squeezing the ancient dagger in his fist, Max stepped up to the frozen altar. The three carved stone figures stared blankly at him. Time, and a growing sophistication, taught him that they were nothing but stone, still the part of him that was Viking would always believe. Holding fast to that reverence of a bygone age, he stood before them.

“I do not call on you, Odin, Father to all, but I respect your wisdom.” He bowed. “I do not call on you, Thor, the strength of every warrior, but I respect your power.” He bowed again. “I call on Freya’s mercy to regain my house, to find the only woman who can heal my heart.” Kneeling with his gaze fixed to the ground, he then rose to stand over the frozen altar. Before the feminine carved figure, he sliced his forearm and let the blood drip onto the icy surface. “In the name of Freya, let me be worthy. Lead me to love. Help me find it or lock me in the ice forever. I can no longer bear the torment of life without true love.”

Were Cats & Dogs Paranormal-Scope

We love the fuzzy members of our family. Don’t forget to visit my cat Bella at https://nightsofpassion.wordpress.com/2024/07/13/life-tools-when-pets-inspire-by-susan-hanniford-crowley/ Our pets are the ones that makes us laugh when we’re down.

I am not qualified to read either stars or planets. I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
Weredogs love a new ball to play with. Whenever you have a new toy, you find out everything about it. That goes for side gigs and starting a business too.

Taurus:
Werecats can count how many toys they have. It’s time to pay off debts and count the savings you will add to your account.

Gemini:
Weredogs never count themselves short. Have confidence. Do the research and go after the life you want.

Cancer:
Werecats are careful with their partnerships. Whether it’s romantic or business, you want to be sure that you are willing to go for the long run.

Leo:
Weredogs love socializing. Accept invitations and make new friends. But keep your old friends close.

Virgo:
Werecats love photos of vacations. Choose wisely where you want to go.

Libra
Weredogs love napping. Try it yourself. Napping is a vital part of selfcare.

Scorpio:
Werecats aren’t so into traveling. Plan a cat caretaker while you’re away on your road trip.

Sagittarius:
Weredogs kiss their humans who are sad. This is a sensitive time for many humans. Choose your words wisely.

Capricorn:
Werecats love to bask in the sun. It’s time to celebrate the good things in your life. Plan a get together for family/friends.

Aquarius:
Weredogs love to improve their home, mostly when they bury a bone. Take out your list of improvements and do one to your satisfaction.

Pisces:
Werecats love paintings especially if there are cats in them. Express yourself through an art form or hobby. Enjoy!


Have a fun summer.

Life Tools: When Pets Inspire By Susan Hanniford Crowley

Bella has a certain attitude of love towards her family that she shows through affection and protection.

She humors us by playing with the toys we get her. But only after we play with the toys as a demonstration. She sits and watches as we demonstrate how to play with each toy over and over. I think she’s amused. She believes a dinner and a show might make her less finicky when it comes to her food. When she sniffs her food and looks undecided, but if we sing, she becomes interested and eats. Like I said, a dinner and a show. It’s really tough when you have so many beds to choose from. She just travels from bed to bed and sofa to chair depending on where the sunny warm spot falls. Each choice is cushy and soft. Ah, the life of a cat named Bella.She is confident in her skills. If a mouse dares enter her house (and it is her house), he or she is toast.

This little cat never falls to be an inspiration. She always rises to the challenge when she is needed, whether it’s to be cuddly or rid the house of a rodent invader.

Stay cool this summer. Keep those you love close.

All the best always,
Susan

A 7-7-2024 Paranormal-Scope

Don’t you just love it when the numbers all line up or almost!

I am not qualified to read either stars or planets, I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
Werewolves love making their home just so right. Consider some repairs or renovations. Make a style makeover in a room.

Taurus:
Mermaids understand how the pressures of life and the endless to-do list can wear you out. Plan a trip with those you love.

Gemini:
Pixies are talented conversationists. So are you. Socialize and meet new people. It could lead to networking and possibilities.

Cancer:
Shapeshifters are very flexible but understand there are times to be cautious with money. This is the time.

Leo:
Vampires have looked over contracts for many years. They know that it’s wise not to sign if you don’t agree.

Virgo:
Hellhounds become fuzzy friendly pups when they are helping others. Consider doing this too.

Libra
Elves walk in the woods. It more than an exploration. It’s self-exploration. Find what you truly want in life and give yourself permission to work towards it.

Scorpio:
Faeries put aside their complaints and trek a path unknown to them. They are discovering the delights of the world. You might like to try this too.

Sagittarius:
Goblins are relatively fearless. They don’t let fear get in the way of accomplishing their dreams.

Capricorn:
Dragons will travel far to family events. Sometimes they meet someone that will make their world shine.

Aquarius:
Sprites are very creative. Share your joy in your art or hobby with others of the same mind.

Pisces:
Gargoyles are stone but not stone-hearted. Taking care of themselves and those they love is vital to them. Do the same.


Have a fun summer.

Beach Read: Mrs. Bright’s Tea Room By Susan Hanniford Crowley

In alternate history Victorian England, dirigible fill the sky. None more famous than Mrs. Bright’s Tea Room. Available on Amazon

A few years back, I was asked to write a Steampunk romance. For those that don’t know steampunk yet, the stories are usually alternate histories in Victorian England or the US Wild West. Dirigibles and other vehicles of steam, steam inventions, and sometimes robots are all part of the steampunk genre.

Because it would be in an anthology, I had to stick to a word count. With me, I can only write what I dream. So I did more research on Victorian England which seemed to speak to me. Steampunk romance is usually very sexy. Where many historical romances leave that to the reader’s imagination and behind closed doors, steampunk romance is the opposite. My publisher wanted it hot!

In this hot steampunk romance, the adventure begins in the sky over alternate history Victorian London, which is filled with dirigibles, but we focus on one, the infamous brothel within a lavender dirigible called Mrs. Bright’s Tea Room where spies meet, lovers meet in forbidden trysts, and gentlemen are served more than tea.

Euthalia has no choice but to work for Mrs. Bright. In walks handsome airship Captain Travers, the Queen’s spy. Sparks aren’t the only things flying with Travers, Euthalia’s first customer.

*

Here is a review from Sandra on Amazon! 5 Stars and Wonderfully Delightful

“There is a depth of Love at 1st sight for two unlikely individuals, this is a fast paced and dream come true for two hearts.”

*

Here is a review from Auntie Paws on Amazon! 5 Stars and A fun adventure/romance with good story telling, Victorian values and dirigibles. So really, what’s not to love!

“As said by others, this steampunk romp takes place in an alternate Victorian London and begins in the infamous brothel (within a lavender dirigible), called Mrs. Bright’s Tea Room.

“The unexpected adventure moves quickly from there and engages the reader into the fate of its main characters. As it’s a Romance we know it will end well for them but there’s no clear guessing how they will survive their trials to get there.

“Still, it’s an easy read of a story, lots of fun and nothing too deep to stir up bad dreams. A nice escape from the occasional dullness of our own daily lives, this book is well worth the purchase price. Easily read over a leisurely weekend or a long, sleepless night, this engaging story is not so long as to spoil the mood and entertaining enough to keep in the collection for a re-read at some future time.”

*

I won’t say more, as I don’t like to spoil the fun for the reader. Check it out for yourself. It’s in Kindle! https://www.amazon.com/Mrs-Brights-Room-Tales-Book-ebook/dp/B00M4U4TKG

Have a fun July! Stay cool! Be safe and keep those you love close! I’m back to writing the next dragon book and then an 18+ vampire book. Have fun!

It’s July Paranormal-Scope

We are in the heart of Summer now and celebrating birthdays and fun!

I am not qualified to read either stars or planets, I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
Werewolves love being cozy at home. It’s great, but there’s always room to add new friends. Be open to invitations.

Taurus:
Mermaids are great communicators. Their songs actually reach a long distance. Practice your communications skills. Be clever and kind. They will aid you in every aspect of your life.

Gemini:
Pixies dream of doing great things but flitter around and get a little done. Be proactive. Write down the goal and the steps to achieve it. Check off every accomplishment.

Cancer:
Shapeshifters enjoy barbeque. Stretch your expertise with a new cookbook or two.

Leo:
Vampires have headed north for the cool evening breezes and adventure in the wilderness. If you want to do the same, make sure you are truly prepared.

Virgo:
Hellhounds obsess over chasing balls. Chasing lots of things in life is fun. Just make sure you really want the result.

Libra
Elves enjoy libraries. They have a cool environment to safeguard the items they hold safe. Visit a library today and let you mind go on a vacation in a book.

Scorpio:
Faeries feel a little trapped doing their job and then they complain when they get home. Don’t miss the point. Being home is playtime. Plan an evening of fun.

Sagittarius:
Goblins are visiting relatives who also happen to be goblins. They love going to places like the Economy Museum in St. Louis. Enjoy more specialized tours in your favorite subject.

Capricorn:
Dragons love visiting their friends and family. Nessie is a special relative. But none of them like posing for photos. Make sure you have room on your camera for more photos if planning a trip.

Aquarius:
Sprites have been guilty of not reading contracts well enough. Make sure you investigate the deal carefully and scrutinize any contract before signing. (Getting an expert to look over a contract can be a good idea.)

Pisces:
Gargoyles love art. Indulge an old hobby this week or try a new one.


Take care of yourself and those you love.

Life Tools: When Lilies Inspire By Susan Hanniford Crowley

These lilies originally came from my first house at Amston Lake. It was a romantic house for a new couple. We had started in an apartment next to a college, but we really wanted a house. Finally we found this little house for two people in love and two cats.

Though the house was very small and had central heating, there were things that impressed me beyond words. Strawberries grew by the water pump house. Orange day lilies ringed the large and sloping backyard. It was right across the street from the lake. The large windows displayed the wondrous lake views.

When winter came, the ice cracked and made haunting sounds throughout the night. It was beautifully seeing the lake with snow fluttering over it. People set up Ice Houses aka Bob-Houses on the lake for fishing.

When spring came again the lilies bloomed. Around that time, we decided to move to a bigger house. We were thinking of family. I dug up a few of the lilies and replanted them in the new house.

Over the years, the lilies have disappeared. Some appear in odd places. I decided to dig up two and pot them hoping to rescue them. Here is the survivor that lived through the winter which cracked the pot. It lived though the hard times, repotting, and instead of the one bloom last year, here are more! (I notice I have to weed that pot again.)

The lily inspires me. So what if there are hard times! So what if parts of life can be cracked! There is always a time to bloom. A time to look around and enjoy the world.

Stay cool this summer. Keep those you love close.

All the best always,
Susan

I Felt A Breeze Paranormal-Scope

I know we’re still in a heat wave. But I’m an optimist! Keep cool.

I am not qualified to read either stars or planets, I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
Werewolves seek out the advice of elders when there’s something they want to change about themselves. Talking to an elder might be beneficial to you.

Taurus:
Mermaids are great collaborators. This might be a good time to find collaborators on a project you’ve been thinking of.

Gemini:
Pixies know what happened when you work and work without stopping. It’s time to schedule in some relaxation time. Cherish it.

Cancer:
Shapeshifters love their friends and enjoy making new friends. Get out there and socialize.

Leo:
Vampires have gotten ahead because they only say important things in private settings. The world doesn’t have to know everything you do. Build trust with others.

Virgo:
Hellhounds love traveling in groups. Group tours and trips can be fun. Consider it.

Libra
Elves work well with others. Often group projects are surprisingly productive. Get to know your colleagues.

Scorpio:
Faeries view summer as fun. Plan some fun activities, day trips, and indulge in some hobbies.

Sagittarius:
Goblins are going through their budget so make sure they can afford that trip. You might want to go through your finances too.

Capricorn:
Dragons are great diplomats. What matters is how you say, how you communicate! You get more flies with honey.

Aquarius:
Sprites love to run, but sometimes they run through their budget too. It’s tempting to spend a lot on fun, but check that you have enough for future expenditures.

Pisces:
Gargoyles like to let their hair down and be authentic. I know it’s hard to realize but even stone can smile. Enjoy being you.

Summer will officially be here on the 21! Take care of yourself and those you love.
