(who interviewed me back in July)
Looking
for some new paranormal reads? Over 40 authors have banded together to
hold a two-night event on Facebook, and it's going to be full of chills
and thrills! I'll be working the 8:45-9:00 PM (EST) slot on Saturday,
October 24--stop by and check it out!
The party is happening on Facebook at
On October 30, at 6 pm, I'll be joining up with some other authors at Face in a Book:
PARANORMAL PAGES: A FOUR-AUTHOR
EVENT
October 30, 2015 in
El Dorado Hills
El Dorado Hills, CA—In celebration of the
spooky season, four accomplished authors of paranormal novels for teens are
gathering at the indie bookstore Face in a Book for a night of haunting tales.
The free, themed event goes from 6 to 8 p.m. on October 30. Each author will
share an eerie excerpt from her book, followed by a group Q&A session.
Costumes are encouraged for attendees, but not required. Seasonal, themed
refreshments will be served.
The movie
industry has spawned a growing demand for supernatural stories, spurring book
sales and increasing the number of paranormal titles on store and library
shelves. Halloween is the perfect excuse
for buffs of the genre to celebrate their favorite creepy book characters, and
this event is one way for them to gather with fellow fans.
About
the authors and their novels:
Angelica R. Jackson’s darkly funny,
young adult urban fantasy novel, Crow’s
Rest, is set in a fictional town in the Sierra foothills, and was partly
inspired by a nearby haunted landmark, Preston Castle. She sometimes haunts the
Castle’s hallways herself, as she photographs the arrested decay, and will be
sharing a real-life ghostly encounter that made it into the pages of her novel.
She was featured on Sacramento Access’s Story
Connection in April, and the video is at https://youtu.be/JwRtQ3i06Ow. In Crow’s Rest, sixteen-year-old Avery
Flynn is determined to reclaim her almost-boyfriend from the Fae, with the help
of the creature who stole his body in the first place.
Linda Covella will be reading from
the first book in her Ghost Whisperer series, The Castle Blues Quake. This tale of ghosts and friendship for
teens and tweens received the
Literary Classics Seal of approval and is “highly recommended for home and
school libraries.” It’s also a finalist in the Literary Classics Book
Award (winners will be announced soon), along with her other published book,
Yakimali’s Gift, which won an honorable
mention in the RONE awards, young adult-general category. Recently published, The Ghosts of Pebble Brook Lodge, is the
second book in the Ghost Whisperer series; both Ghost Whisperer books take
place in Santa Cruz.
Linda Joy Singleton is
the author of over 40 books for kids, including the YALSA honored The
Seer series, the Dead Girl Walking trilogy, and The Curious Cat Spy Club. Her
latest book, Never Been Texted, is a
sweet romance with a touch of magic: When Ashlee’s stepdad completely
forgets her birthday she takes matters into her own hands to get the one thing
she really wants: her own cell phone. But text messages start rolling in from a
broken-hearted boy, and though Ashlee knows not all stories end happily, she’s
determined to make hers the best it can be.
Tracy Clark formerly served as the Regional
Advisor for the Nevada chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and
Illustrators, and is currently a contributing writer on the YA Series Insiders
group blog. The first book (Scintillate)
in her young adult paranormal romance series, The Light Key Trilogy, won the
YA category of the 2015 Golden Quill Contest. Kirkus Review said of Deviate, the second book in the trilogy,
“Passion and power are the driving forces behind this series that
continues to deliver.” The trilogy was completed with the publication of Illuminate
in September, and her next offering, Mirage, a young adult thriller, is
due in the summer of 2016.
