“Trick or treat, smell my sweets, give me something good to read.”

Happy Halloween, and a Blessed Samhain to you!

I’ve got one foot out the door to try to find a pumpkin (last minute? Me? Think there will be anything bigger than a grapefruit left? ). And I probably ought to pick up a bag of candy for the trick-or-treaters while I’m out.

But I’ll leave you with this – a free read for the season. There’s a fabulous collection of Paranormal themed stories put together by the authors of Beyond The Veil, and it’s available now! Click here to visit Beyond The Veil to download the pdf and enjoy some of the fabulous paranormal writings of the Samhain “Beyond The Veil” authors (including me )

Here’s a little taste of my short, Vegas Magic. Hope you enjoy!

Rain was pouring from clouds every bit as dark as her mood when Mia Tarone dashed through the heavy doors into DunVegas. Bright flashes of lightning were answered with snarls of thunder. The storm had sprung to life in an otherwise clear Vegas night sky when she was only feet from the entrance, triggered by any one of the many paranormal battles being waged for fun and sport inside the resort.

With demons and druids, witches and warlocks, shifters and succubi all sharing the convention grounds there was no way for her young mage senses to tell what forces from this world or any other had triggered the meteorological outburst. She would have to take down her meta shields to tell, an act akin to bathing in blood before dining with a vampire. Going unshielded into the ParaPleasures convention would be literal suicide for her.

Mia was many things – desperate, unschooled, furious, and at times over the past year she’d flirted closely with the idea she might not be totally sane. Suicidal had not yet appeared on her radar.
