GENRE: Paranormal
BLURB:
October starts out
warm and sunny, but this is the month when everything changes. Mornings grow
frosty, leaves change colors, and the breeze takes on a bite.
Summer dies.
It’s a time for
harvest celebrations. A boy loans a girl his coat. She snuggles a little closer
and takes his hand. A riot of autumn splendor accompanies the farmer’s market
where they stroll.
But the vibrancy of
daylight doesn’t compare to the darkness of night. Is that chill on your neck
the breeze or something else?
October night
You walk a tad faster
and look over your shoulder. The trees creak when the wind whips through their
branches—at least, you hope that noise came from the undulating bows.
You check under the
bed and inside the closet before climbing under the covers. Sleep doesn’t come
easy. The old house groans its complaints, and the night magnifies every
innocuous noise until terror paralyzes you—because you know nefarious things go
bump in the night.
Welcome to the
Paranormal Bar &
Grille Blog Tour
…where you can rub elbows
with everyone from a gargoyle or vampire, to a creature from urban legend, or
the ghostly realms of myth. Step up to the bar, grab a booth. You never know
what’s on the menu, or if you might end up there yourself.
Sound like your kind
of hangout? Then you’ve come to the right place. We’re a group of five authors
who love nothing more than to trigger the chill that crawls up your back, the
nervous glance tossed over your shoulder. We invite you to discover outstanding
books and check out our awesome tour prizes.
Just be careful of
what the bartender serves you. That heady brew may not be a beer, and witches
can’t be trusted to provide effective antidotes.
Excerpt:
Vampire Island
My name is Zoe Tempest. Just let me
say, I had no intention of becoming a vampire hunter. My world revolved around
the trendiest clothes, the boy of the week and shopping.
My life was as close to perfect as a
seventeen year old can get. I had everything. Then my parents were murdered and
my world came crashing down.
After their funeral, I went to live
with my uncle Julian Kilmer. That’s when everything changed. In a manner more
terrifying than anything I could have imagined.
AUTHOR BIOS:
Craig Boyack
Just a fiction writer, trying to reach the world.
Craig came to fiction writing later in life than most
authors. He always had to write, to one degree or another as part of various
jobs. Early one winter morning, he conquered the Internet and didn’t feel like
shoveling the sidewalk until the
sun came up. He tried a few pages of fiction and got
hooked.
Craig doesn’t like limitations and calls himself a
writer of speculative fiction. It’s a broad field, but he limits himself to
science fiction, paranormal, and a bit of fantasy.
He has eight published works—six novels and two
collections of short stories.
Mae Clair
Mystery & Suspense…with a dash of Myth &
Romance
Genres:
Mystery, Psychological Thrillers, Supernatural
Suspense, Romantic Suspense
Quirky fact I don’t want anyone to know:
(or maybe I do)….I saw a UFO when I was six. Probably
why I write some of the stuff I do.
~ooOOoo~
They say everyone has a story to tell.
I wrote my first childish “masterpiece” at six and was
immediately bitten by the writing bug. Since then, I’ve been composing nonstop,
and have dabbled in multiple genres over the years, writing everything from
fantasy, westerns, and horror to inspirational fiction, romance, and sci-fi. It
took me a while to find my niche, but I’ve settled comfortably into the
mystery/suspense genre (with a just a dash of romance tossed in).
Several of my earlier works have strong romantic
themes, but all are infused with threads of mystery. I have a passion for
folklore, myth, and urban legends and that attraction often factors into my
writing. You’ll find threads of archaic tales and mysterious places woven
throughout many of my novels.
I am a member of the International Thriller Writers and
a past president of the Central Pennsylvania Writer’s Organization. If I’m not
camped out at my keyboard or have my nose buried in a book, I’m likely looking
up blurry images of cryptids on Google, sorting through vintage photographs or
imagining life as a cat.

Sandra Cox
Living life.
Writing fantasy.
Sandra writes YA Fantasy, Paranormal and Historical
Romance, and Metaphysical Nonfiction. She lives in sunny North Carolina with
her husband, a brood of critters and an occasional foster cat. Although
shopping is high on the list, her greatest pleasure is sitting on her screened
in porch, listening to the birds, sipping coffee or a latte and enjoying a good
book. She's a vegetarian and a Muay Thai enthusiast.
Harmony Kent
The author who gets write into your head.
Genres: Multi-genre
Quirky Fact I don’t want anyone to know: Wrote the
entirety of The Glade while listening to the Twilight movie soundtrack. And
she’s not mentioning the glass of white (ahem) ‘grape juice’ that kept finding
its way to her computer station.
Harmony Kent is famous for her laughter, and has made
quite the name for herself … she’s also, um, a writer … and fairly well known
for that too. She’s even won a few awards. Harmony lives in rural Cornwall with
her ever-present sense of humour and quirky neighbours and refuses to admit to
her age.
If you catch her at work, you’ll see that she also
offers editing, proof reading, manuscript appraisal, and beta reading services.
Not to mention being passionate about supporting her fellow authors.
Staci Troilo
Staci Troilo. Writing Relationship Wrongs.
Genres:
Romance, Suspense, Paranormal, Mystery, and Mainstream
Quirky fact I don’t want anyone to know:
The socks in my sock drawer and the books on my shelf
are arranged in rainbow order.
I’ve always loved fiction, ever since my parents read
me fairy tales when I was little. Today, my interests are much more eclectic. I
love getting lost in sci-fi battles, fantasy realms, horror worlds, suspenseful
intrigues, and romantic entanglements.
As goes my reading, so goes my writing. I can’t pick a
single genre to focus on, so I don’t even try. I’m proud to say I’m a
multi-genre author.
When I’m not reading or writing, I’m spending time
with family and friends, possibly cooking for them, or maybe enjoying an
afternoon in the pool. To learn more about me, visit me at
