Sound Sample Saturday - Forever Festive Chapter 7

The problem with looking for something when "I'll know what it is when I see it" is that you can wind up finding something you weren't looking for in the process. A magical gathering place is definitely going to be open late at night but so are other kinds of businesses.

Sound Sample Saturday - Forever Festive Chapter 3 and an Apology

 Allergy season came early and with a fury to Santa Cruz California this year and a lot of people have been suffering, including us. I wound up with a lung infection from all the congestion, which has slowed down my productivity. Allan has been dealing with nerve pain and trying to take care of me, so we wound up missing posting the last two weeks. But we're back, progress is happening on book 5 "Forever Chosen" and Allan has gotten to work on the book cover for the anthology "W. I. T. C. H. Hunters Forever" which I hope to release just in time for summer reading.

Yes, we know we ran this chapter back in December, but we only took the story so far. Plus, it was 3 months ago. So we'll be repeating those same 4 chapters over again so you can be reminded what was going on. Then we'll be running several more chapters that you haven't heard yet. So please sit back and enjoy. Besides, a good performance is always worthy of an encore.

Unfortunately, due to time and work constraints, Allan is still editing the last few chapters of the full audiobook itself, which means that version will not be available until early next month.

Sound Sample Saturday - Forever Haunted Chapters 5 and 6

Today's offerings are both very short, so it only feels right to give you a 2-fer enjoy!

With the names of not only the victim and the culprit, you'd think finding a killer would be easy. Well, a lot can happen in 20 years. Just as a lot can happen in just a few months, like running up against a vampire cult and being turned into one of the undead yourself, and keeping your friends in the dark about it. Or, if you were connected to the mob, doing a little vanishing act is another option.

Sound Sample Saturday-- Forever Haunted, Chapter 1

 Sorry to cut Forever's Too Long Short, but we're skipping to Forever Haunted. 

Ghost stories take many forms. I've always preferred the stories where they are tragic figures, and I've often been interested in cold cases and the struggle to investigate them. 

So Rafael meets a lovey ghost of a flapper who is compelled to keep reliving her murder, and he'll do what it takes to help free her. The first chapter does contain spoilers of a sort from Forever's Too Long, so if you haven't read it and don't want to know how the detective is around in this one, you might want to wait until you've finished it.

On the other hand, if you just want to find out how attention-grabbing a first chapter can be, press play
