Haunting in Old Tailem
by Janice Tremayne
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Supernatural Suspense, Horror
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
An Australian Ghost town. A resident demon and a local Shaman. A confrontation with evil awaits.
Clarisse realizes that running from evil is not a bad idea until you figure out you can't hide. When some ghosts get tired of hanging around, they latch onto you. At the centre of the war on evil is a historic Church that carries dark secrets within its walls. After she meets with the local Shaman, Clarisse discovers secrets with evil consequences by digging too deep into the town’s past. When matters become complicated, she visits a circus of young performers on the outskirts of town triggering unexpected paranormal events and unleashing memories of a one-hundred-year curse. After being caught in the crossfire of a battle for evil supremacy, Clarisse confronts Little Charlie as he rallies the town's ghosts into an impeccable evil stronghold.
Can the local Shaman and townsfolk rally in her quest to defeat the evil incarnate or will the town succumb to Little Charlie and his evil crew?
Haunting in Old Tailem is the third book of the Haunting Clarisse Series. If you like spine-tingling, chilling, creepy and spooky supernatural thrillers, then you will love this story by 2020 USA Readers' Favorite International Book Awards Finalist in Supernatural Fiction, Janice Tremayne.

EXCERPT ONE:
He hung with the rope around his neck, his tongue sticking out with a red-starved oxygen face. At the same time, he was smiling as though he was only having fun. Death was a reenactment that he had become accustomed to, to the point he thought it funny; a way of horrifying others and making them pay attention. He had a young mind—innocent and conditioned to get the attention of others. Little Charlie didn’t know whether he was dead or alive; far too young to understand. As far as he was concerned, tying a loop around his neck, jumping, and choking to death made him realize he felt no pain. He could do it over and over again.
Clarisse knew from her encounter in Hartley that Little Charlie was an attention seeker and someone who liked to cling onto you. That could explain how he had ended up in Old Tailem Town. Running away from evil might seem like a good idea at the time, but you could not hide.
“Come over here, Little Charlie. There is nothing to be afraid of,” she said.
He replied with a cheeky grin on his boyish face. His mousy brown hair thrown from side to side, he signaled with his right index finger, waving it left to right many times.
“Nuh-uh,” he mimed, his way of saying no.

GUEST POST:
Describe Your Book Cover and How It Came About:
When I first started the Haunting Clarisse Series, I was on the look out for an illustrator that could read my mind. I know that makes no sense, but in a way, they need to transfer your creative thoughts onto an illustration that conveys the genre, the storyline, and the mood of the book. There is always an emotion we a trying to convey in the book cover and it needs to impress the reader first time. Most authors have a picture imprint in their mind of what a cover will look like, and believe me, after a couple of samples from the designer, the right one will resonate.
If I am writing a series, the cover must have a theme—like branding in away where readers recognize its your book.
I usually ask for a couple of samples initially and then I refine the cover before I select the one, I want. Sometimes you may go back and refine it again, after you have tested it with readers or loaded it online to Amazon to check the impact. If you have the right designer this process should not take long unless you are pedantic and particular—it depends on the author.
My illustrator works in Eastern Europe and I am Australian—the point here is there are no boundaries in finding the right designer for your book cover these days.
Also, price can be important. Not all authors can afford the hefty price tag of a great cover. There are places where you can get a great cover but because the illustrator may come from a country where the exchange rate on currency is more effective—you can get the same quality of book cover for half the price.
I also avoided third party sites like 99Designs because they get a cut from the illustrator and you pay more. The illustrator must cover the costs of the third-party provider.
