Welcome to this year’s Snarkology Halloween Hop! We have a ton of authors and bloggers this year and I’m so thrilled Melissa Snark put together such a fantastic and fun party for us all! I participated last year and it was a great time.
I’m going to admit, I’m not a big Halloween fan. I don’t write Halloween stories. I don’t decorate, save for a sign that says Boo. I don’t even buy the candy. I’m a scrooge on Halloween. But what I do like? What I do love? The lights. There are usually candy corn lights and purple and green and orange lights and I LOVE them! Also, candles. Ones that smell like candy corn. Or pumpkin scented everything. I love the scent. I won’t eat or drink it, but I could smell it all day and be so very happy. Purple twinkle lights and warm, pumpkin scented candles get me every time.
And being that Halloween is right in the middle of Fall, my absolute favorite time of year, I love writing books that are set in this season. It’s when I’m at my most happy, my most energetic, my most creative.
Two of my books that fall during this time period are paranormal. One is a werebear shifter, called Ink To Bear and it’s part of Amazon’s Kindle Worlds imprint. (Click on the covers to be taken to the book page for more information, buy links, and an excerpt)
Big, and built, Gus is one werebear most other shifters, and hybrids steer clear of; unless he’s got the ink out. Then, they line up for the chance to see him work and maybe, just maybe, get a little ink of their own. He’s made a name for himself as a traveling tattoo artist, but he’s a loner and his only rule is to never stay any place long enough to learn names.
But then, he sees her…
Bex is alone now. No family since her mother passed. Few people she would call friend. And she’s just sold the last remaining link to her childhood. None of it seems real and yet, it’s all too much reality for her. She wants to start her new life and she wants out of her small hometown.
Her way out comes in the form of a broad shouldered, tattooed biker, offering take her anywhere she wants to go, even if it means going over the infamous Tail of the Dragon mountain pass and through territory that isn’t always friendly to his kind.
She’s never been on a motorcycle. She’s never been this close to a shifter. She’s never done anything reckless. Can she trust him to keep her safe? More importantly, can she trust herself and her feelings when she climbs on and wraps herself around him?
And the second? A vampire paranormal M/M romance, I simply fell in love with while I was writing.
Is the prospect of love worth dying for?
Vampires exist, and travel through space and time. Immortal, beautiful creatures. Neither dead, nor living.
Dane has no memory of being human. He only remembers waking after being unwillingly turned. He is left with a parchment with one single line written upon it: his human birthday. For this one day a year, he can live and die as a human. He is ready. It is time. 126 years after becoming a vampire, he is ready to let go.
When he meets Jorge, with his dark good looks and brilliant blue eyes, Dane reconsiders his choice. Can he take back the life that was stolen from him by dying? Or can he make a life with a soulmate he never imagined having?

Thanks so much for participating in The Snarkology Halloween Hop! Isn’t it a fun time. This is my second year and I love hopping from one blog to the other anticipating Halloween fun!
I love fall. There is something about the fall colors, cooler temperatures, and falling leaves that relaxes me. Halloween is a bonus for fall to me. I tend to steal the Twix and Laffy Taffy from the candy bowl. 🙂

I love the luminarias at Christmas! I LOVE (repeat LOVE) M&M’s they never make it out of my house!
I love summer because I can wear sundresses and sandals every day, all day! I love dark chocolate!
It’s hard to choose between spring and fall. I love the budding of new life in the spring but I also love the color changes and the blessed cooling of fall after long hot summer days. Fall comes a bit ahead I guess I love Halloween and the scary movies, haunted houses and Reese’s pumpkins 😉
I love fall. The leaves change, the temperature drop, the air smells so crisp. Halloween candy I steal is easy, anything peanut butter, as my poor baby is allergic.
love Autumn… both the girls were born in Autumn… Amber the oldest on Halloween so she got a Halloween party every year and the youngest was born the first of Autumn hence her name… Autumn… peanut butter cups and mr goodbars… lol
I really like fall. It’s very pretty.
I’m not a fan of Halloween, but I am a fan of late fall. I love wearing jeans and sweatshirts and have great fun watching my pug puppies jump and play in the falling leaves. My favorite candy is anything that has caramel as a component.
I love all holidays but Halloween is my favorite especially now that I have kids. I love to make costumes and get them dressed up. Made my youngest an Olaf costume that is super adorbs. Anything containing chocolate especially Kit Kats. 🙂
I love the cooler weather & watching the leaves change colors in the fall. Skittles are my favorite candy & I’m not limited to just eating them during Halloween. Thanks for the chance.
I love Christmas, seeing the excitement on kids faces.

I love the hayrides and bonfires, and I eat the Reese’s cups.
My favourite time of year is Autumn the weathers cooler but it’s still sunny. We don’t really do Halloween but we sometimes get Trick or Treaters so we buy some sweets for them and of course what’s left over we have to eat!!!

I love Halloween season so I can stay up past my bedtime watching scary movies. I ate all the Hershey bars in our Halloween bowl when nobody showed up.

I love Halloween- the decoration- more spooky and cute vs gross and scary. We usually go on a few ghost tours too. This year the Cemetery Tour in Long Beach hosted by the Historical Society, and the Fullerton Ghost Walk on Halloween through the older part of Fullerton. Also hosted by the historical society. Every year my friends and I get together for a Witch Tea. We have scones and goodies and chat with good friends.

I love fall and winter because of the cooler weather, football & the holidays! My favorite Halloween candy is Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins 🙂
spring when everything is new again and reeses peanut butter cups
T love the whole Halloween into Thanksgiving into Christmas & New Years time. Halloween kicks the whole “Holiday time” off us. Working with my son (now 8) on what he wants to be for Halloween and coordinating my costume to compliment his (Dad doesn’t like dressing up but accompanies us carrying the flashlight and water in the backpack we empty Michael’s treat bucket in when it gets too full). My family comes to my house for Thanksgiving Dinner along with any friends from my mom’s Senior apartment complex that don’t have anywhere to go for the day. It’s a day full of visiting, football and food. Right after Thanksgiving we begin decorating the house inside and out for Christmas. My son gets to help decide where we’re going to put things and helps me do some of the outside decorating. My mom and her gentleman friend come over Christmas morning to watch Michael open gifts and stay the whole time, the rest of our family & friends come over for dinner. These few months are just about making time to spending time with our extended family and friends.
My favorite Halloween treat is anything Hershey’s.
My favorite season is Christmas. What I love about it is buying gifts for the people I care about and personally wrapping them up.
For Halloween, I love dark chocolates, gummy bears and gummy worms
I love Halloween! Fall is my favorite season and my son and I go nuts for Halloween. I admit to having an addiction to Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins.
I am a huge fan of any and all pumpkin spice, so I have to come down on the side of fell. And I steel all the Twix bars
My favorite season is summer because I love to garden. Reeses peanut butter cups are my absolute favorite!
Love Halloween, from the decorating to the candies to the dressing up in costumes.
I like spring and the early crocus blooming. When it comes to Halloween candy, it’s Reese’s peanut butter cups that I have to sneak.
I live in Wisconsin and I love all the seasons and of course there’s downfalls for all as well. I love the fresh scent of spring and everything budding and flowers blooming, but get tired of all the rain. Summer I love the longer days and sunshine and I hate when it’s 90 and humid lol! I love in fall all the beautiful changing color of the leaves, bonfires, and the pumpkin patch, but it gets darker earlier and the gloom and rain starts again. Winter, I love when it’s snowing it’s beautiful, but I hate the bitter cold that comes with it! Happy Halloween! bw2323bro@yahoo.com
I love Autumn. Fall leaves changing colors, crisp weather, and Halloween. I love Reese’s so I get a great excuse to sneak my favorite candy!
My favorite season is summer even though I don’t like the heat. It makes the water perfect for swimming and I love swimming. I sneak some of the candy bars and tootsie rolls.
Fall for cooler weather, Snickers

I love summer; I can spend more time with my children, go swimming, and feel the warm sun on my face.
