Day 2 of the Crossroads Blog Tour...

Trick or Treat?  More treats of course!

Heather L. Reid is on my blog answering some spooky questions and sharing her book with us! Follow the Crossroads Blog Tour links to hear from more paranormal authors about their books and win prizes!

1.)  You and a friend are walking down a dark alley. You hear strange noises. Do you walk ahead and check things out, or send your friend instead? 

Neither. We both turn and run away!

2.)  What's your Halloween costume back up, the one that's always waiting in your drawer or closet? 

I have a light pink, short, dress that’s kind of 20’s inspired and a short blonde wig. Pair it with fake pearls, a headband, and some lace gloves, and you have an easy and cute Daisy from The Great Gatsby costume.

PRETTY DARK SACRIFICE (Pretty Dark #2) Blurb:

It’s been five weeks, two days, and eight hours since Aaron vanished without a trace. Everyone wants her to move on, but Quinn can’t, not after his spirit—or something—appears to her at his memorial, convincing her he’s still alive. When a mysterious box materializes on the very spot where Aaron disappeared, Quinn finds herself at the center of an ancient prophecy of betrayal, revenge, and sacrifice that takes her to the depths of the underworld to face Lilith—Adam’s first wife. If Quinn can stop Lilith from unleashing the demon horde Eve trapped inside the box during the Battle of Eden millennia ago, she will save the human realm and free Aaron from an eternity in torment. All it will cost her is her own blood.

Sarah Bromley

1.)  You and a friend are walking down a dark alley. You hear strange noises. Do you walk ahead and check things out, or send your friend instead? 

I’m gonna send someone else, but I’ll make sure they’re armed well with salt, a wooden stake, and some silver bullets.

2.)  What's your Halloween costume back up, the one that's always waiting in your drawer or closet? 

I dress up as a witch every year when I go trick-or-treating with my kids.

Bio:

Sarah Bromley drinks too much coffee, likes her music loud and off-key, and has loved spooky things since she first saw “An American Werewolf in London” when she was five years old. She currently lives in the St. Louis area with her high-school-sweetheart-turned-heroic-husband, three children, and her dogs.

Book blurb

Winter in Black Orchard, Wisconsin, is long and dark, and sixteen-year-old Vayda Silver prays the snow will keep the truth and secrecy of the last two years buried. Hiding from the past with her father and twin brother, Vayda knows the rules: never return to the town of her mother’s murder, and never work a Mind Game where someone might see.

No one can know the toll emotions take on Vayda, how emotion becomes energy in her hands, or how she can’t control the destruction she causes. But it's not long before her powers can no longer be contained. The truth is dangerously close to being exposed, placing Vayda and her family at risk.

Until someone quiets the chaos inside her.

Unwanted. That's all Ward Ravenscroft has ever been. To cope, he numbs the pain of rejection by denying himself emotions of any kind. Yet Vayda stirs something in him. He can't explain the hold she has on him--inspiring him with both hope and fear. He claims not to scare easily, except he doesn't know what her powers can do. Yet.

Just as Vayda and Ward draw closer, she finds the past isn't so easily buried. And when it follows the Silvers to Black Orchard, it has murder in mind.

"Richly written, A MURDER OF MAGPIES isn't a book to be read, but one to be devoured by the light of a dying fire. Sarah Bromley will pull readers in and have them glancing constantly over their shoulder, where the ghosts of the past await them."
- New York Times bestselling author Heather Brewer


"A MURDER O MAGPIES is one of those books I couldn't put down... a little bit mystery, a little bit horror, a little bit love story--there's something for everyone on these pages. Rich, well-written, and different in a genre desperate for something a little bit different..." -- Hillary Monahan, author of MARY: THE SUMMONING

Judith Graves   

1.)  You and a friend are walking down a dark alley. You hear strange noises. Do you walk ahead and check things out, or send your friend instead? 

If my friend is wearing a red shirt, and I think she is...I send her off to see what’s what. Don’t judge. Someone needs to be the one who lives to write about our great adventures.

2.)  What's your Halloween costume back up, the one that's always waiting in your drawer or closet? 

It’s so easy to throw together an evil librarian costume, and it’s fitting too, since I am one. Bwhaaaaaa.... All you need are glasses, some baby powered-hair wrapped up in a bun, a blood-stained copy of your favorite book, and blood spatters all over your sweater set.

Bio:

Award-winning writer and screenwriter Judith Graves loves tragic romance, werewolves, vampires, magic and all things a bit creepy. A firm believer that teen fiction can be action-packed, snarky and yet hit all the right emotional notes, Judith writes stories with attitude. She lives in northern Alberta and when she’s not writing, or playing bass in a cover band, she works in a school library.
