No Tricks, All Treats here!
Hey there,
Just a quick note in the flurry of Halloween
costume-making. There's a new review up on the blog, I found some really fun-looking freebies for you, and there's a nice seasonal discount going on!
First things first: In case you missed it on my Facebook page, the second Mister Mottley novel is on sale half-price for the rest of October. If you liked Gets His Man and were waiting for a good time to grab your copy of Dying Fall, now's your chance!
Next, a review of Witches' Bane by Susan Wittig Albert. I don't often review mysteries in contemporary settings, but now that I've found Albert's detective China Bayles, I may start reviewing more of them! A great Halloween read, just spooky enough to be fun.
Finally, I found two Halloween-themed Kindle freebies with great reader
reviews. I can't wait to hear what you think of them.
Enjoy!

Mr Mottley & the Dying Fall begins on October 21, 1932 (according to the article in the London Times that appears in the prologue). "Give 'em hell."
That's tough-talking China Bayle's way of offering encouragement. But during Halloween week in Pecan Springs, Texas, it comes perilously close to the
truth. This pumpkin-spiced mystery is firmly down-t0-earth, but comes with a hot sprinkle of fire and brimstone, a sideways glimpse of Santeria, some New Agey pagan playacting, accusations of witchcraft, and the suspicion of a Satanic cult.

Deader Homes and Gardens by Angie Fox |
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Angie Fox writes sweet, fun, action-packed mysteries.
Southern belle Verity Long is back in business—as a ghost hunter. Now all she has to do is visit the town's creepiest mansion and exorcise a family of vengeful spirits. Piece of cake. After all, ghosts love her and need her...that is until she meets the ghosts of Rock Fall mansion. They'll do anything to keep
their murderous secrets hidden within the cliff-side fortress—even if that means getting rid of one meddling ghost hunter.
Readers give the book 4.7 out of 5 stars, high marks indeed. They particularly recommend the series for its humor, good mystery plotting, and Southern charm. It's currently free on Kindle.
