TIME TO PARTY!

Halloweenie! Witch-O-Weenie!

The SuperHeroes, ghosts & goblins are out in force tonight. Eat, drink & be merry! Dress up. Toast the Halloween evening with a glass of wine, or a cup of cocoa.

Or read a good Halloween book! My last featured writer for COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN is Sadira Stone and her “Bangers Tavern Romance series. The featured book is Book #4.

Bangers Tavern’s hunky bouncer Jojo Williams has been flirting with server Lana Lopez for three years, but she dismisses him as a trifling joker. Determined to penetrate her prickly defenses, he plunges into the hot mess that keeps her from dating. If he screws this up, his heart and hers won’t be the only ones broken.

Orphaned by a car wreck at twenty-two, Lana must keep her teen brothers on track and together in the home they grew up in. One more slip-up, and her interfering tías will separate the boys. The last thing Lana needs is a big goof like Jojo meddling with her fragile family.

But when the teens’ shenanigans land them in trouble, Jojo may be the only person who can save them from the wrath of the tías. Lana’s growing attraction to the gentle giant makes it harder and harder to shut him out, but loving him is a gamble that could cost her everything.

Come back to Bangers Tavern for a slow burn, sizzling hot, friends to lovers workplace romance full of laughs, steam, and the glorious chaos of 21st century family—the ones we’re born into, and the ones we gather to our hearts.

WE’RE HERE! IT’S HALLOWEEN!

I’ve enjoyed the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN – learning about neat ways to make Halloween treats, remembering songs and movies I like – and a few I don’t like. My TBR pile of books grew even more since Hispanic Heritage Month, but I don’t mind. I can never say I don’t have a book to read.

I have a couple more writers I’d like to feature before this is all over.

Welcome Anna M. Taylor with her Haunted Harlem book series, gothic romance and women’s fiction.

All the women in Anora Madison’s family have lived haunted by the curse of Poor Butterfly: women still longing for but deserted by the men they loved. Determined to be the first to escape a life of abandonment, Anora fled Harlem for Brooklyn, not only severing her ties with her mother Angela, but also ending her relationship with Winston Emerson, her lover and the father of her child.

Six years later, Anora comes home to make peace, but an unseen evil manifests itself during the homecoming and targets not only Anora, but her little girl Cammie. With nowhere to run, Anora must confront the evil now trying to destroy her life. She vows to protect her daughter at all costs, but if that protection can only be found with Winston back in her life, how will Anora protect her heart?

Only love can face down those things not dreamt of in our philosophies

Ten years ago no one — not even the man who said he loved her — believed Sankofa Lawford’s claim she had been brutally attacked by a ghost. Ten years later an assault on a new victim brings her back to Harlem to a mother going mad, a brother at his wits’ end and a former love who wants a second chance. Sankofa longs for her family to be whole again, for love to be hers again, but not if she must relive the emotional pain created by memories of that night.

Mitchell Emerson is convinced science and reason can account for the ghostly happenings at Umoja House. He resolves to find an explanation that will not only satisfy him but earn back Sankofa’s trust and love. Instead, his own beliefs are shaken when he sees the ghost for himself.

Now reluctant allies, Mitchell and Sankofa learn her family was more than a little in love with death. Their search for the ghost draws them together but discovering sixty years of lies and secrets pulls them apart. As their hopes for happily ever after and dispersing the evil stalking Umoja House slip beyond their grasp, Mitchell and Sankofa find an unexpected source of help: the ghost itself.

Hamlet had it right: there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophies. A Little In Love With Death is a romance that wrestles with what they might be and the role love plays not only in understanding, but conquering them.

If philosophical musings, encounters with the supernatural and second chance romances make your day, this is your next must read story.
