Happy Halloween! (Spooktacular Day 13)

Yay, it’s Halloween, and I’m so happy I get to celebrate with amazing readers and fans like you. Thank you so much for being a part of the Spooktacular celebration and for helping me to celebrate the 11 year anniversary of Beautiful Demons and my debut as an author. Today, in honor of my character, Harper, who comes to Peachville after a traumatic time in the foster care system, I am donating $500 to the charity, Comfort Cases. This wonderful charity provides backpacks filled with comfort and personal care items for youth entering the foster care system. According to the…

Favorite Scary or Halloween Movies (Spooktacular Day 12)

Welcome back to another Spooktacular day!! We only have today and tomorrow left to celebrate, so let’s have some fun. Let’s talk about some fun suspenseful or scary movies and TV shows that I have loved from a variety of genres. These picks have all inspired my writing in some way, and since I know you don’t all love scary, I’ve added a few things here that are just mysteries, suspense, or in some way atmospheric. I’ve tried to include some things that are currently available to watch on Netflix, as well, because today’s giveaway is a 3-month Netflix Subscription!…

Happy Birthday, Beautiful Demons! (Spooktacular Day 11)

Wow!! It’s crazy to believe that my first novel, Beautiful Demons, made its debut eleven years ago today. I can still remember the excitement and joy I felt releasing that novel into the world, and sitting here eleven years later, I still know it is one of the best things I’ve ever done. Taking my career and future into my own hands was the first step toward my dream life, but I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for each of you who has taken a chance on me and my books. Whether you’ve just discovered my…

Disney World At Halloween During The 50th Anniversary (Spooktacular Day 10)

Hi, Everyone, and welcome back to Day 10 of our Spooktacular Halloween Party! As many of you know, my little family has been in the Orlando area for the past week or so, enjoying a Disney vacation here in the middle of our nomad-life adventure. Originally, we had planned to spend a week at Disney next January for my birthday, but after we decided to leave Charleston behind and look for a new home on the road, we decided to cancel that vacation and book one while we were already in Florida, instead. Part of the reason is because my…

Demons Forever Live Finale (Spooktacular Day 9)

I am so excited for our live finale of Demons Forever. Welcome to Day 9 of the Spooktacular Halloween Party! I’ll see you at 4PM Eastern for a special live finale of Demons Forever, the 6th book in the Shadow Demons Saga. I’ve been reading the Shadow Demons Saga out loud on YouTube for over a year now, and it’s bittersweet to finally be reaching the end of the first major story arc. There were tears on Monday for Episode 21, and I have a feeling there will be tears again as we finish out the book. I have to…

My Favorite Scary Books (Spooktacular Day 8)

Welcome back for another fun Spooktacular post and giveaway to celebrate Halloween and count down to the 11th anniversary of Beautiful Demons! We’ve had a slight change in schedule, and today we’ll be talking about some of our favorite spooky reads. Ever since I was a young girl, I have loved to read scary stories. In fact, I very clearly remember getting a collection of scary stories and urban legends from the Scholastic Book Fair when I was about nine and reading them over and over again, staying up late into the night and trying to think of my own…
