Novel Magic: Three Tales to Make you Shiver

Three Tales to Make You Shiver on a lovely Autumn night! We’ve got witches, ghosts, and a time-travelling romance queued up for Novel Magic this week.

No matter how far you run, you can never really escape a haunted past.

Darrell Henshaw—teacher, coach, and paranormal sensitive—learned this lesson the hard way.  Now, with his job gone and few options, he heads for Cape May to coach a summer football camp. The resort town, with gorgeous beaches, rich history and famous Victorian mansions, might just be the getaway he needs. Only, no one told him Cape May is the most haunted seaport on the East Coast.  

When a resident ghost, the Haunted Bride, stalks Darrell, begging for his help, he can’t refuse, and joins forces with Cassie, another sensitive.  As Darrell and the street-wise teen investigate the bride’s death, they uncover something far more sinister than a murder. Can Darrell and Cassie expose those behind the crimes before they end up being the next victims? 

Check out the Trailer for Crimson at Cape May

Tamara falls back two hundred years into a land of strife. Will she fight to return home or remain, fall in love, and face being hanged?

Tamara Ledbetter, dumped by her arrogant husband, travels to Cornwall, England, to research her ancestors. A trip first planned with
her soon-to-be ex. While in a neglected cemetery, she scrapes two fallen headstones together to read what’s beneath, faints, and awakes in 1789. Certain she’s caught in a reenactment, she fast discovers she’s in the year of the French Revolution, grain riots in England, miners out of work, and she’s mistrusted by the young farmer, Colum Polwhele, who’s come to her aid.
Can a sassy San Francisco gal survive in this primitive time where women have few rights? Could she fall for Colum, a man active in underhanded dealings that involve stolen grain, or will she struggle to return to her own time before danger stalks them both?

When a demonic witch threatens those he loves, Jared Dupre must summon all the magic he possesses to survive.

The night before Jared Dupre’s wedding, a spectre warns him that the demonic witch, Adam Montief, has kidnapped his brother threatening to kill both him and Jared’s fiancée, Kendra O’Connell, in a centuries-old vendetta Jared knows nothing about. A powerful witch himself, Jared tracks Adam from New Orleans to a remote island off the coast of Connecticut. A swordfight ensues, and a final thrust of Jared’s blade sends Adam over the cliff into the dark sea below.
But when Jared returns to New Orleans, he finds a triumphant Adam alive and intent on seducing Kendra. Kendra, not knowing Jared was forced to break off their engagement to save her life, has turned to a new man, unaware he’s Adam who has vowed to kill the man
she truly loves.
With help from an ancestor’s spirit, Jared discovers the motive behind the Montiefs’ vengeance. He plans Adam’s final destruction while fighting to win back Kendra before she is drawn into Adam’s world of sadistic evil.

The Revolutionary Act of Writing

Let’s take this premise: The apolitical author sells more books. I see the point. Right now, expressing a view on any given subject may indeed alienate people who feel differently. I have myself avoided the products of some celebrities who are rabidly opposed to something I am just as rabidly for. I don’t make a habit of it, but I do it from time to time. Just as often–even more often–I have gone out of my way to support artists and businesses who embody values I support. Writing stories with political overtones, no matter how subtle, does invite comment. Lately, some comments have taken on an ugly tone. If you don’t write about controversy, you do avoid that negativity.  Who isn’t tired of name-calling and ugly innuendo—and this comes from every side of every issue. So here’s what I think. Having different opinions is perfectly acceptable. It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable. My opinions find their way into my books, my blog posts,...
