Charles M. Pulsipher -- The Crystal Bridge

Kindle, Amazon (paperback)

Q: What is The Crystal Bridge about?

Deep within the emptiness between universes, an ancient creature awakes
and stretches its spidery limbs as it caresses the minds of those in
worlds of matter. With inhuman patience it has waited millennia to be
freed from its prison and the existence of two universes is threatened if
it can find a way out.

Kaden, a teenage boy who can open wormholes to distant worlds, and Aren, a
girl who can read the souls of those around her, will both be dragged into
a war between magical creatures on a distant world that will shape all of
reality and perhaps save us all.

Q: What is your favorite Halloween story/movie, and why?

A: The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury. It’s a tradition to listen to a copy on Halloween night and let Ray paint the possibilities for us with his genius words.

A huge fan of Jane Austen, Danielle hopes to find her own Mr. Darcy when she attends art school in London. She does find the romance she seeks in Ethan Deveroux, but he’s no Mr. Darcy.

Yet, as the sun sets, the powerful magic of an ancient curse returns and the evil of that spell is revealed. When that magic begins, Danielle's fairytale romance ends because Ethan Deveroux is a vampire.

Halloween IAP: The Music of Anna Morse

Welcome to this year's Halloween Indie Author Promotion!

To start things off, I'm presenting the first of my Katon University novellas. Over the next several weeks, we'll focus on the next two novellas: Whistle, and I'll Come, and Britnell Manor, along with a bunch of other books and stories written by Indie Authors.

Andrea Pearson -- The Music of Anna Morse

Kindle, Nook, Smashwords

Q: What is The Music of Anna Morse about?

When Anya, a talented cellist, goes to Ohio to sharpen her skills with wind magic, she has no idea her studies are about to collide with terrifying creatures and people from another dimension.
Based off one of HP Lovecraft’s popular stories, The Music of Erich Zann.

A novelette in the Katon University First Year series. Will take about an hour to read.

Reviews:
"Very intense, with a hint of Edgar Allen Poe." - Teri

"A real page turner. Wonderful descriptions and very fast moving." - Ellen

Q: What movie rating would you assign your story, and to which age group is it directed?

A: Somewhere between PG and a soft PG13. Teenagers and adults 13 and older would enjoy it.

Q: Why did you choose to self-publish?

I was always very nervous over potential changes publishers would make in my stories, and one of the big publishers who was interested refused to promise to keep things clean. Self-publishing was the natural choice - I have control over content.

Q:   What was your favorite costume as a child, and do you still dress up?

I always enjoyed dressing up as a princess when I was really young, but in my teenage years, I discovered Phyllis Diller. Having short, curly hair, it was easy to replicate her look. :-) I still dress up if I'm attending a Halloween party.
