[Tika]

The Eyes of Innocence series by Tika Newman is the brilliantly written story of a modern day girl; a normal girl, with a few exceptions. She's psychic, has visions and the power to heal. She has an innate way with animals, from the most timid to the wildest.

Although I would have considered mine fantasy, others have thought of it as somewhat paranormal. I guess it all depends on the reader.

Hi!
My name is Caroline Shearer, and I am the author of Adventures of a Lightworker: Dead End Date, which is the first in a series. I'm working on the second book now. The lightworker element plays out through the series, and each book functions on its own as a mystery.

Adventures of a Lightworker: Dead End Date
A woman named Faith is jolted from her simple existence when she learns she is a lightworker, an evolved soul sent to Earth to increase love. Complicating this startling news is the revelation that she hasn't been fulfilling her life's purpose and has one year to prove herself - or be pulled from her assignment! As Faith confronts this daunting task, she faces very human concerns, including releasing her own negativity, searching for love, and even a dead blind date! How will Faith fare as she begins her spiritual journey and finds her gifts tested beyond anything she's known?

The Tale of Halcyon Crane: A Novel by Wendy Webb

The Tale of Halcyon Crane is the eerie, gothic story of a woman whose life is upended when a mysterious letter arrives in the morning mail. It regrets to inform her of the death of her mother... but she was told her mother died in a fire 30 years earlier. She soon learns that the whole foundation of her life has been a lie — her mother didn't die all those years ago. Instead, her father abducted her as a child, changed their identities and moved across the country. She travels to her mother's home, a beautiful and remote island in the middle of the Great Lakes, to find answers to what happened all those years ago. She finds secrets, betrayal and some otherworldly twists along the way.

Halcyon has been selected as an IndieNext Pick, a Midwest Connections Pick, a Great Lakes Great Reads pick, and is a finalist for the Michigan Book Award.

Reviews:

"I love a good, spooky ghost story that carries you deep into the darkest night and raises goose bumps and neck hair. First-time novelist Wendy Webb’s book, The Tale of Halcyon Crane, does all those things with the seamless intricacy of a clockmaker and the silky smoothness of a baby's cheek. Webb hits every note just right.
It’s hard to read a story like this and not compare the author to Stephen King, so I'm not going to do much of that, other than to say Webb carries a lot of the same power in her words." — BlogCritic; Seattle Post Intelligencer

Hiya All!

My name is T.M. Sulsona, and my first novel, "The Sagittary," is available through Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle; and is also available for Nook.

My writing is 'outside the box,' and I write about beasties you don't normally see in the Paranormal/Fantasy romance genre. Whilst I love my Vamps and Weres, this story involves the Stallion of the Centaurs and a woman from NYC who is their only hope of survival:

Tessa Chiron's world is turned upside down when she receives a plain brown package in the mail containing a golden necklace and an old journal. She is called upon to save a race of mythical beings--Centaurs--from becoming extinct. Darien, the Stallion and leader of the Centaurs, enters Tessa's dreams and begins to seduce and entice her to his world. Tessa arrives in a world where the sexual pleasuring of a woman is a part of daily life...and she learns that there is more to what meets the eye in the reason for her being brought through.

I am both honored and humbled that it has received consistant,straight five-star reviews on Amazon.

You can read the first chapter on my website:
Stories from the Mist

or, you can read it at my Message Board Forum (along with the first Chapters of the others I currently have in the works) at: The Keep All are welcome and be sure to bring your sense of humor!!

Just in time for Halloween gift giving. Satan's Mirror. Satan's Mirror Emily is the host of the paranormal reality show, Do You Believe It. Her mission is to debunk all myths and urban legends.

Hello,
I'm the author of Flashes from the Other World.

Magic without the hocus pocus, these
stories explore the ethereal blur between
reality and not, between dream and sleep,
between love and other than love. They
present relationships with a tender
wackiness. Tossed into the mix are
mischievous ghosts, who give the talking
plants and even the seductive and vocal
grains of sand a run for their money.
Quirky and offbeat, these stories will
touch your heart, although they may tug at
your funny bone first.

[Carmen]

I wrote three YA realistic Medieval Fantasy YA novels. The first one, Two Moon Princess, was published by Tanglewood Press.

[Jennifer]

Hey! My name is Jennifer Rainey, and I'm the author of These Hellish Happenings, a paranormal comedy with vampires, demons, Hell and the occasional talking cat.


These Hellish Happenings

Synopsis:
In 1707, hapless vampire Jack Bentley made a pact with the Devil in order to escape a vampire hunt. Dealing with Satan seemed better than your standard angry mob at the time. But three centuries later, Satan is ready to collect His dues, whether the vampire likes it or not. He's taking Jack down to Hell, and He's even got a job picked out for him down below: an eternal position at the Registration Office of the Damned.

Jack attempts to adjust to life on the Administrative Level of Hell where fire and brimstone have been replaced by board meetings and the occasional broken copier. But the whiny complaints of the recently-deceased are the least of his problems. Try adding to the equation a dead ex-lover, a dangerous attraction to his high-ranking demon companion, Alexander Ridner, and the sticky and distorted anti-vampire politics of a Hell that is surprisingly like our own world.

Temperature: Dead and Rising
From the back cover of my novel:
"Still think you're not dead?" He jabbed with his words, hot under the collar from her stupid jump. "The way you bent around that pole should make you wish it," he sighed, "but I won't hold it against you. You're not the first to take the news so badly about your death and the memory loss to go with it; however, none of them tried to off themselves either.
"Take this as your first lesson about being undead. There's a lot of broken bones and a tumble that should have killed you, but you're not dead. Can't die, to be exact.” –An excerpt from Temperature: Dead and Rising

First in a series, Author Adam Santo’s debut novel is a dark fantasy where the undead don’t die and readers can’t help but be glad. Who knew we’d be rooting for those reborn after grisly tragedies? Or that they’d have such full lives? And when one twenty-something-year-old woman loses her life, who would think she’d have her first shot at love and that her death would be so lively?

I have a short fantasy romance epubbed by bookstogonow.com. If you love sexy elves and romance, please check Captive out.

Emma finds herself at the mercy of someone who shouldn't even exist, in a reality far removed from her own 21st century world. Even though her Elvin captor, Cian, is mysterious and sexy, she determines to keep herself aloof and return home. This soon all changes as he wages a seductive war on her defenses that challenges everything she’s believed about love and life.

For Cian passion and rage intermingle as he alternately toys with her and submits to his fascination for this human who, by all that is Elvin, should be an object of repulsion.

Thomas Amo, author of "An Apple For Zoë" released on kindle this month.




The City of San Francisco is locked in a grip of fear. A series of occult murders has led, Inspector Thomas James, to a crime scene similar to a murder committed 90 years ago in the once grand Aleris Hotel. A place where power barons of the early 20th Century engaged in witchcraft. And silent film stars indulged in the most wicked of sins.

A place where no one questions the black smoke that rises from the hotel's incinerators in the middle of the night.

Hi,

My debut novel Betrayal, is a YA mixed genre of paranormal romance and historical fantasy. It's the first installment of The Descendants trilogy.

Where there is love and power, there is always... betrayal.

At seventeen, Cordelia is an ordinary teen with an extraordinary and frightening secret. A secret that induces vivid dreams which she not only experiences true love, but crippling fear while barely escaping with her life each night.

After a life altering event, Cordelia has an unexpected encounter with Evan, the mysterious boy from her dreams, who reveals who and what she is – a descendant of the Greek gods. At that moment everything she knows of her world is a lie, and she must leave the present and go into the past to assume the role she was put on this earth for – safeguarding her ancient empire amidst evil forces that toil hastily to destroy it.

In a race against time, Cordelia must decide if she is truly a part of this dangerous world, or risk defying the gods, and ultimately lose the boy who has put a claim on her heart.

My new book, Jane Was Here, comes out June 14th. If you're into the paranormal, reincarnation, karma, and past lives, then this might be a good choice for you.

The underlying theme of the book: how past history (whether real or imagined) impacts on the present day:

A young woman arrives in the small rundown community of Graynier, Massachusetts. She calls herself Jane, though she was christened by another name. She can point out the house where she grew up, though she has never been to Graynier in her life. Jane carries with her the fragmentary memory of her former life, and refuses to adjust to her new identity. Thus begins Jane's mission, to retrieve the puzzle pieces of a former life, groping her way through the past and the present simultaneously.

The inhabitants of Graynier are unwittingly drawn into the mystery, as it becomes clear: someone must pay in the present for past evils. Someone must pay for a murder committed 150 years ago. Will it be the reincarnated killer?

Would love to participate in discussions and giveaways.

[Samantha]

Hello everyone, my name is Samantha Towle, I'm an author and my debut novel The Bringer is now available to buy as an ebook for $0.99 from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and is also available in paperback.

It's Fantasy Romance novel, blurb to follow...

Death is sad, love is agony.

Max was her next job. She got his name just before he died and it was for her to lead his soul to heaven. She was a Bringer. Then Max started pleading (as they often do), but not for himself, for his son, James.

Would she look after him, would she comfort him as he grieved for the loss of his father? James was a sensitive young man. He would take his father's death very hard.

Well, Bringers don't do that sort of thing; their exclusive role is to usher souls to heaven. They are not allowed to get involved in earthly affairs.

However, when she saw James, she felt something she had never felt before – an emotion, a shock.

She was a Bringer. Bringers do not have emotions.

Yet she couldn't help herself. She found herself being drawn inexorably towards James and his life, against every instinct she had ever had, against every law of the universe.

And she fell in love.

For a Bringer, that is a terrifying fall.

The Ghost Ship
The Ghost Ship
By Gerrie Ferris Finger
Ann, takes an off-season respite from her job as editor at a prestigious magazine in Atlanta to spend a few days at the wind-swept beaches of Cape Hatteras. A drink in a nearby pub, where she’s staying in the attached B&B, and she’s introduced to the mostly friendly locals and one handsome, if surly, loner. And on the wall, she sees the photo of what the locals call the Ghost Ship.
She walks down on the beach and is met by a curious sight—a lighthouse, where it shouldn’t be, a man oilskin coat and a sou’wester hat of a day long past, people streaming down onto the beach, voices crying, “Shipwreck.”
There begins her incredible journey into an unsolved mystery of a sailing ship found sails aloft, crew and cargo gone on the shoals of nearby Diamond Shoal.
The man is Lawrence Curator, a navy captain, investigating the wreck and the loss of the crew. Her mind tells her that he’s a ghost, but her heart tells her he’s flesh and blood and she willingly goes along with him as he takes her on an incredible journey to solve the mystery of the Ghost Ship.
For a woman whose life had become as shiftless as the sand on the shoals, this is living, even if it’s living with a ghost whose purposes are not entirely clear. That is, until Ann realizes that he’s also given her another task; help his great grand-son, Rod, the surly loner of the pub, come to grips with the truth of his wife’s death.
The author’s ability to weave fascinating history into a modern day mystery captured my attention and kept me turning pages until the very end. As a sailor myself, I could find no fault with her terminology, as a matter of fact, I learned some new words and enjoyed every minute of it. She did a magnificent job of describing the sea and the area of Cape Hatteras, making a good case for visiting this beautiful area. There’re ghosts, and murder, and mystery and enough romance to satisfy any reader. Highly recommended.

Howdy Readers and Writers,

I have a new short story called The Colors of Qua



This is a story about what it truly means to be punished, and how sometimes redemption can only be found if you go after it yourself.

Sofia exists in a world between the living and dead, and she must help the souls of the deceased transition to whatever comes next. Although Sofia takes pride in her work, she still believes she is being punished for the secret she keeps inside. When she meets a man who can actually see her, everything changes. Now she must be willing to give up everything she knows in order to find the one thing she so desperately seeks – redemption.
