Paranormal News! 12 October 2018

We're back from Italy! It was so much fun traveling with my Italian-American friend who's a practicing Streaga (an Italian witch). But she did tend to take me to the most creeptastic places, like the spooky gardens of Villa Cimbrone, in Ravello. It was... weird. Maybe some day I'll tell you about it. But enough about me. Onward to this week's paranormal news! 1) The house of John Proctor, the man accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials and pressed to death, is goi

Paranormal News! 21 September

Paranormal mystery abounds in the wild world of all things supernatural. But since this blog is bound by time and space, I limit my weekly roundup to my personal top five paranormal news stories. So, from the San Benedetto Paranormal Museum, it's the paranormal news of the week! 1) Rapper believes he's cursed after visiting a paranormal museum. Not the San Benedetto paranormal museum -- all our cursed objects have been psychically "cleansed" by our paranormal collector, Herb.

Witch Cover Reveal

Book 4 in The Witches of Doyle Series, Witch, is coming August 28th, and book 5, Fey, will be here just in time for Halloween! Here's what the Witch cover looks like. I decided to focus on Jayce again, because let's face it - she's the biggest troublemaker of the three sisters. Here's the blurb: The faerie curse that plagued the town of Doyle is over. Or is it? Witch Jayce Bonheim has finally got her life back on track. Her coffeeshop’s been rebuilt. She’s got the perfect boy

Paranormal News! 9 February 2018

Huzzah! The San Benedetto Paranormal Museum is back for your weekly supernatural goodness! Here's my top five round-up for the last seven days. 1) Last week, my fellow blogger, witch and barista Jayce Bonheim, wrote about a witch restaurant. It must be a trend, because here's a supernatural cafe with witchy elixirs. 2) And speaking of witches, Slovakian police have put out a warning about witches hanging out in Bratislava parking lots. 3) Have you ever been on a ghost hunt?

Deja Moo Cover Reveal!

A holiday tradition turns deadly, but is the paranormal museum to blame? Maddie Kosloski is no fan of San Benedetto's Christmas Cow, a thirty-foot straw bovine that graces the town square every December. For one thing, the cow displaces her paranormal museum as the number one tourist attraction. Plus, every year, despite around-the-clock surveillance, the cow goes up in flames. But this year, there's more than just a fire blazing in Maddie's wine-country hometown. One o

Cranberry Pumpkin Scones

In honor of pumpkin spice season, I tried a twist on my standard scone recipe, adding Craisins and substituted Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice Almond Beverage for milk. And the scones turned out really good! The pumpkin flavor was mild, but in a good way. I considered adding 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice, but I wasn't sure what was in it and have developed an allergy to nutmeg. I know. Weird. Ingredients 3 3/4 C flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 C sugar 3 T baking powder 1 t cinnamon 8 T cold, un

Pet Lovers Mysteries Giveaway!

I've partnered up with 31 other cozy mystery writers for a massive giveaway! As you may know, pets are one of the hallmarks of a cozy mystery (along with small towns, quirky characters, and minimal on-page violence). GD Cat, in my Paranormal Museum mysteries, isn't the coziest of animals. He's kind of a little jerk. But cats can get away with that sort of behavior. The contest runs from July 5th - 14th.

The Quiche and the Dead Cover Flats!

Yes, I just got a load of cover flats which... once again I have no idea what to do with. So I'm sharing the cover here. I've been waiting a loooong time for this book, and I'm super excited because it's a) funny and b) a mass market paperback. Why do we care about the latter? Because mass market paperbacks are lower priced than trade, and we all like lower prices. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait a little longer, because the book is coming out this November. Also, this is th
