Bellatrix Press Halloween Blog Hop! @Bellatrix_Press #Halloween #witches

 Magic comes in all shapes and sizes, and so do the people who use it. To celebrate Halloween, four authors got together to interview their magic-using characters and share the responses. And, as always happens when the four of us get together, to make some fun trouble.

That being said, the four of us have decided to break the interview pieces up so you can read them across our blogs. My Interview is with Marling Ellis from The Unlove Spell by Kendra L. Saunders.

Q: Do you remember the first time you used magic? If so, please tell us about it.

Please don't tell anyone this, especially not my magic tutor Kyran, or anyone at the New York Witch School, but I have never used magic in the traditional sense. Or, well... I don't think I have. However, I have always had this crazy ability to know if something is going to go on sale soon. The first time it happened to me, I was about 8 years old, and I told my mom not to buy a pair of sparkly pink boots, because they would be on sale the next day. Sure enough? They were. I can also guess a man's income just by looking at his watch. That has to be a sign of magic too, right?

Q: What is something you wish you could do with magic but haven't been able to yet?

Make Chris Hemsworth fall in love with me.

Q: What is something you wish you had never done with magic?

I wish I had never accidentally put the unlove spell on myself. It's a complete bummer to miss out on chances with hot guys, especially ones you meet while on a work trip to Cancun.

Q: Do real witches have broomsticks and/or black cats?

I can't really have cats, thanks to being crazy allergic to cats. I also don't really like broomsticks, thanks to being crazy allergic to housecleaning. However, if an actual flying broomstick ever comes onto the market, you'd better bet I'll own one. It would cut out so much traffic.

Q: If you lost your magical abilities tomorrow, what would you pursue instead?

That would mean the unlove spell was broken, so I'd probably go back to Cancun. And make sure I used those apps that keep you from paying too much for online shopping.

Synopsis:

Magic has certain rules. You can’t really make someone fall in love with you, but you can make damn sure they don't fall in love with anyone else. That is, if you’re any good with magic in the first place.

Marling Ellis is a young witch who accidentally places a spell on herself to prevent her heart from ever belonging to anyone but Viktor Arson, the sexy, aristocratic Russian writer she shared a passionate, but brief, fling with. Marling’s spent the five years since their fling alone, occupying her personal time with the internet and hot chocolate. Viktor, a fae prince, has gone on to become a world-famous writer. Most importantly, he can also still make a killer good cup of coffee, and wear the hell out of leather pants. Vital skills in any relationship.

Now, Marling finds herself caught up in a plot by Kyran, one of her former magic teachers. She ends up in Russia, hunting Viktor down and trying to figure out if she really loves him... or if her feelings are just a product of the unlove spell.

Bio:

Kendra L. Saunders is a time-and-space traveling fashionista author who writes books about magical, dark-haired men, interviews famous people, and suggests way too many bands to you via whatever social media platform she can get her hands on. She writes with good humor because humor is the best weapon for a girl who can't learn karate (or ballroom dancing). She's the author of the Alien Pop Star series, magic realism novel Inanimate Objects, the dark comedy Death and Mr. Right, and the poetry collection Geminis and Past Lives.

Below are all the blogs participating in the hop. Go check 'em out and tell me what you think about the witchy women of of Bellatrix Press.

Halloween Happenings: Preorders, Blog Hops, And An Interview! #Halloween #AmWriting #ChangingTeams

Happy Halloween! 

I've spent the last few days splattering fake blood on a lab coat and tweaking my daughter's Rainbow Dash costume. If you have any costume pics, share them in the comments below.

Changing Teams, the first in an all-new contemporary romance series, is now up for preorder! Just click here.

In other news, the Broad Universe Full Moon blog tour is in full swing! Check out this page for details, and the chance to win a $75 gift card and a crap ton of books.

Halloween may be almost over, but good horror stories are a year round treat. Check out this interview on Masslive.com where I mention two of my favorite horror stories.

That's all for now! I hope you get lots of treats, and a few tricks to keep you on your toes ;)

A mad king. An escaped slave. One warrior to save the realm…

Heir to the Sun, book one of the Chronicles of Parthalan. Find it here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sara had always been careful.
She never spoke of magic, never associated with those suspected of handling magic, never thought of magic, and never, ever, let anyone see her mark. After all, the last thing she wanted was to end up missing, like her father and brother.

Then, a silver elf pushed his way into Sara’s dream, and her life became anything but ordinary.

COPPER GIRL – Book One of the Copper Legacy

The Sweetest Thing Blogfest

It's super ironic that I'm writing this post, because I don't really like sweet things.

Candy? Never eat it. I'd rather eat raw green beans.

Soda? Can't stand it. Give me plain water. Even better, plain seltzer water.

I do, however, have a special place in my heart for Mozartkugeln. You can read all about them here.

I first tried them while on vacation in Austria; one bite, and I was hooked. They are these perfect little round bits of happiness, made up of pistachio marzipan, hazlenut nougat, milk and dark chocolate. I know. Fricken heavenly.



And, since we've got a bunch of sweet romance writers on this blog hop, I'll share an absolutely, 100% true sweet romance story. One day, I came home from work to find that my husband had bought me a navy blue beaded chiffon dress, the sort of dress you'd wear to a formal wedding. He bought it because he thought it would look nice with my hair.

Then, he presented me with an opal and sapphire ring, because it matched the dress!



Really. With sweetness like that in my life, who needs candy?

Now, remember to hop on back to Kelly and Beth and visit the rest of the sweeties!
