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 walk ahead. Yeah, I’m the one who always has to check it out. But first I would stop and see if the noises continue. #IsThisWise
2.) What's your Halloween costume back up, the one that's always waiting in your drawer or closet?
I have a witches hat, cape, and makeup – for when I need a costume in a hurry. No need to go into why I have these things ;) #HalloweenFun

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?
Are you kidding me??? The first anti-rule of terror is DON'T GO THERE. If my friend is crazy enough to go on, well. But me? I'm turning around. And running. I admit it, I'm a wimp. Of course, you wouldn't find me in that dark alley in the first place.
2.) What's your Halloween costume back up, the one that's always waiting in your drawer or closet?
Long velvet skirt, corset top. I'm already planning to wear that outfit this Halloween at a costume party. It's super comfortable and doesn't look too, too weird. In fact, it's kind of steampunk cool. Hence, it's still in my closet.
THE CHARMED CHILDREN OF ROOKSKILL CASTLE is a middle-grade novel set in a spooky Scottish castle during WWII. The lady of the manor has set it up as a temporary boarding school for children escaping the Blitz. But something is not right with that castle or that lady, and the children begin disappearing one by one. There are clues that a spy is in the house; there are undeniable signs of a sinister magic. Ghostly hauntings, enigma machines, creepy noises, and peculiar teachers all hint at a complicated mystery. It’s a race against the clock for one girl, her two younger siblings, and her new best friend to get to the bottom of things.
Kelly Hashway fully admits to being one of the most accident-prone people on the planet, but that didn’t stop her from jumping out of an airplane at ten thousand feet one Halloween. Maybe it was growing up reading R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books that instilled a love of all things scary and a desire to live in a world filled with supernatural creatures, but she spends her days writing speculative fiction for young adults, middle graders, and young children. Kelly’s also a sucker for first love, which is why she writes YA and NA romance under the pen name Ashelyn Drake. When she’s not writing, Kelly works as an editor and also as Mom, which she believes is a job title that deserves to be capitalized. She is represented by Sarah Negovetich of Corvisiero Literary Agency.

Secret option C—run in the opposite direction!
2.) What's your Halloween costume back up, the one that's always waiting in your drawer or closet?
A witch. I’ve been a witch so many times. It’s fun and a little spooky at the same time.
The Monster Within
The moment seventeen-year-old Samantha Thompson crawls out of her grave, her second chance at life begins. She died of cancer with her long-time boyfriend, Ethan, by her side—a completely unfair shot at life. But Ethan found a way to bring her back like he promised he would. Only Sam came back wrong.
She's now a monster that drains others' lives to survive. And after she kills, she’s tortured by visions—glimpses into her victims would-have-been futures had she not killed them. Barely able to live with herself and trying to make things right, Sam ends up a pawn in a vicious game of payback within the local coven of witches.
But when the game reveals what Ethan had to do to save Sam, she must make a choice that will change all their lives forever.
