Okay, after Kathy’s post yesterday, I had to share these stories that happened to a friends of mine.
A friend of mine was living in an old farmhouse that was supposedly haunted. One night, she was lying in bed and this woman appeared in her room. She was wearing a long, white flowing dress. The woman […]

I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts!
March 30, 2006; 4:57 am
Ghost stories. I love them. In fact, I can’t get enough of them. I literally watch anything on ghost towns, haunting, and unexplained events that I can find. My husband is constantly surfing the shows I’ve recorded on Tivo, and saying, “Weird Travels? What’s that?” or “Haunting In Georgia? […]

No, it’s not my normal day to post, but Lori is heading out of town and I told her I’d fill in. She’ll be back!
We’ve been talking a lot about paranormal heroes and heroines and their special gifts. Many good arguments have been made for their appeal, and let’s face it, what works for […] -
Author Interview: LILITH SAINTCROW
March 27, 2006; 12:56 pm
(Michelle’s sidenote: I am a very hard reader to please. I buy a great number of books but very few pass my fifty page test (fifty pages before it bores me and I stop reading). When I do find a book that I adore, that sweeps me away into a different world, I feel the […]

Wish me Monsters
March 27, 2006; 6:19 am
Anybody who knows me, knows I am a total Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanatic. I may even have a tattoo to prove this fact. I’m not telling. Joss Whedon’s show is my favorite show of all time, and a total influence on the way I write. But I can only aspire to write such great […]

What’s in a cover?
March 24, 2006; 7:52 pm
Some book covers are awesome. The kind that make you willing to get in knock-down-drag-out-fight at the bookstore to get your hands on their last copies. Others are so awful that you actually feel slightly ill when you look at it. Makes you wonder who gave that book the thumbs up, sometimes. How could the […]

About Russian Gypsy Fortune Cards
By Naomi NealeMy parents got their first jobs as college professors during the hippie-dippy sixties, right around the infamous Summer of Love. Since they had a bit of trouble finding babysitters, they’d sometimes tow me along to their evening classes and expect me to sit quietly in the back of […]

FEAR
March 21, 2006; 5:34 am
We’ve talked some about what scares us and why, so I’ve decided to tell a totally embarrassing story about myself.
Years ago, when the kids were all still at home and the house was usually in chaos, I found myself with one of those rare weekend nights when I was home alone. The kids were all […] -

Full Moons and Fangs
March 17, 2006; 10:35 am
Last night, I was lying in bed, trying to fall asleep, when I looked out the window and saw the full moon.
My first thought was that it was the werewolf time of the month.
Then I had a flash of a werewolf crashing through my bedroom window to get me. Teeth bared. Saliva flying. Its human […] -

A potentially terrifying topic
March 14, 2006; 5:21 am
I’m just back from a whirlwind trip which was fun but which has left me brain dead, at least for the moment. Here it is Tuesday and we’ve already covered hot paranormal heroes and kick-ass gifted heroines. What else is there to say? Hmmm. I think I’ll talk about something really scary.
Decorating.
Confession time. I get […] -
Paranormal Chicks
March 13, 2006; 6:19 am
Stephanie wrote about hot paranormal guys, which, frankly, will probably be a regular subject on this blog if I have anything to say about it. ;-) But those guys need somebody to fall for, to redeem them, to live for, to fight for. And the readers need somebody to identify with.
My favorite paranormal heroine is […]
