BLURB:
October starts out warm
and sunny, but this is the month when everything changes. Mornings grow frosty,
leaves change colors, and the breeze takes on a bite.
Summer dies.
It’s a time for harvest
celebrations. A boy loans a girl his coat. She snuggles a little closer and
takes his hand. A riot of autumn splendor accompanies the farmer’s market where
they stroll.
But the vibrancy of
daylight doesn’t compare to the darkness of night. Is that chill on your neck
the breeze or something else?
October night
You walk a tad faster
and look over your shoulder. The trees creak when the wind whips through their
branches—at least, you hope that noise came from the undulating bows.
You check under the bed
and inside the closet before climbing under the covers. Sleep doesn’t come
easy. The old house groans its complaints, and the night magnifies every
innocuous noise until terror paralyzes you—because you know nefarious things go
bump in the night.
Welcome to the
Paranormal Bar &
Grille Blog Tour
…where you can rub elbows
with everyone from a gargoyle or vampire, to a creature from urban legend, or
the ghostly realms of myth. Step up to the bar, grab a booth. You never know
what’s on the menu, or if you might end up there yourself.
Sound like your kind of
hangout? Then you’ve come to the right place. We’re a group of five authors who
love nothing more than to trigger the chill that crawls up your back, the
nervous glance tossed over your shoulder. We invite you to discover outstanding
books and check out our awesome tour prizes.
Just be careful of what
the bartender serves you. That heady brew may not be a beer, and witches can’t
be trusted to provide effective antidotes.

EXCERPT FIVE FROM LOVE SET IN STONE:
He gasped
but only succeeded in inhaling thick embers. “I hate it when you do that to me,
Anael. What the hell?”
“Not
what, Damien,” Anael said. “Where. It’s against the rules, but you needed to
see.”
“Hell.”
“The
first level.”
Damien
choked on clouds of brimstone and looked around. Bodies hung on racks, some
scourged by demonic creatures wielding whips of fire, others stretched until
their limbs tore off only to reassemble and stretch again. Some souls were
skinned and devoured, the torment cyclical, never-ending. Giant beasts with
nine-inch claws and twelve-inch teeth tore people into bloody shreds. They
gnawed on the bones of writhing beings, snarling and snapping at anything near
them.
There was
no blessed retreat into unconsciousness or death. This was their other side,
their ever-after, their eternity. The tormented endured each torture, alert and
unprotected. Impossibly hot gusts of wind howled through the cavern, tossing
the departed from one horror to the next. And the maniacal screeches of the
tormentors were only overpowered by the anguished wails of the damned.
“I’ve
seen enough.” Damien’s words were barely intelligible through his coughing and
wheezing.
“Are you
certain? This is only the first level. The second level hosts souls feeding on
their own entrails, or having a myriad of sexual violations forced upon them.
Rape. Sodomy. Bestiality. And then there’s—”
Damien
clutched Anael’s arm. “Enough!”
“Do you
understand now?”
Damien
looked up and howled, his throat burning, his voice mingling into the sounds of
all the other lost souls, an agonizing dirge melodic only to Satan himself.
When he
thought the devil’s name, the most sinister laugh echoed through the cavern, a
shadow given voice and power. It sent chills down his burning spine. The demons
cheered, their victims cowered, and Damien cringed, seeking escape that would
only be denied him.

AUTHOR BIOS & LINKS:
CRAIG BOYACK
Just a fiction writer, trying to reach the
world.
BIO:
Craig came to fiction writing later in life than
most authors. He always had to write, to one degree or another as part of
various jobs. Early one winter morning, he conquered the Internet and didn’t
feel like shoveling the sidewalk until the
sun came up. He tried a few pages of fiction and
got hooked.
Craig doesn’t like limitations and calls himself
a writer of speculative fiction. It’s a broad field, but he limits himself to
science fiction, paranormal, and a bit of fantasy.
He has eight published works—six novels and two
collections of short stories.

MAE CLAIR
Mystery & Suspense…with a dash of Myth &
Romance
GENRES:
Mystery, Psychological Thrillers, Supernatural
Suspense, Romantic Suspense
Quirky fact I don’t want anyone to know:
(or maybe I do)….I saw a UFO when I was six.
Probably why I write some of the stuff I do.
~ooOOoo~
BIO:
They say everyone has a story to tell.
I wrote my first childish “masterpiece” at six
and was immediately bitten by the writing bug. Since then, I’ve been composing
nonstop, and have dabbled in multiple genres over the years, writing everything
from fantasy, westerns, and horror to inspirational fiction, romance, and
sci-fi. It took me a while to find my niche, but I’ve settled comfortably into
the mystery/suspense genre (with a just a dash of romance tossed in).
Several of my earlier works have strong romantic
themes, but all are infused with threads of mystery. I have a passion for
folklore, myth, and urban legends and that attraction often factors into my
writing. You’ll find threads of archaic tales and mysterious places woven
throughout many of my novels.
I am a member of the International Thriller
Writers and a past president of the Central Pennsylvania Writer’s Organization.
If I’m not camped out at my keyboard or have my nose buried in a book, I’m
likely looking up blurry images of cryptids on Google, sorting through vintage
photographs or imagining life as a cat.

HARMONY KENT
The author who gets write into your head.
GENRES:
Multi-genre
Quirky Fact I don’t want anyone to know: Wrote
the entirety of The Glade while listening to the Twilight movie soundtrack. And
she’s not mentioning the glass of white (ahem) ‘grape juice’ that kept finding
its way to her computer station.
BIO:
Harmony Kent is famous for her laughter, and has
made quite the name for herself … she’s also, um, a writer … and fairly well
known for that too. She’s even won a few awards. Harmony lives in rural
Cornwall with her ever-present sense of humour and quirky neighbours and
refuses to admit to her age.
If you catch her at work, you’ll see that she
also offers editing, proof reading, manuscript appraisal, and beta reading
services. Not to mention being passionate about supporting her fellow authors.

STACI TROILO
Staci Troilo. Writing Relationship Wrongs.
GENRES:
Romance, Suspense, Paranormal, Mystery, and
Mainstream
Quirky fact I don’t want anyone to know:
The socks in my sock drawer and the books on my
shelf are arranged in rainbow order.
BIO:
I’ve always loved fiction, ever since my parents
read me fairy tales when I was little. Today, my interests are much more
eclectic. I love getting lost in sci-fi battles, fantasy realms, horror worlds,
suspenseful intrigues, and romantic entanglements.
As goes my reading, so goes my writing. I can’t
pick a single genre to focus on, so I don’t even try. I’m proud to say I’m a
multi-genre author.
When I’m not reading or writing, I’m spending
time with family and friends, possibly cooking for them, or maybe enjoying an
afternoon in the pool. To learn more about me, visit me at
http://stacitroilo.com or connect with me on social media.
