Today, it is my pleasure to step aside for the next few days and allow the wonderful authors who will be featured in Tales from the Mist (available October 17th EVERYWHERE!), a wonderful anthology that captures the thrills of the season. As a fan of horror, I was honored to receive an ARC as well as a request to write a blurb for the cover. They were gracious enough to give me plenty of time to read the anthology first before agreeing, and now it is my distinct honor to present these authors to you.
First up, the lovely and talented Cate Dean (The Messenger):
Cate Dean has been writing since she could hold a pen in her
hand and put more than two words together on paper. She grew up losing herself
in the wilds of fantasy worlds, and has had some of her own adventures while
tromping through the UK, and a few other parts of the world. A lover of all
things supernatural, she infuses that love into her stories, giving them a
unique edge. When she's not writing, she loves cooking, scaring herself silly
in the local cemeteries, and reading pretty much anything she can get her hands
on.

Rest For The Wicked – The Claire Wiche Chronicles Book 1
book blurb:
She's running from her past. And running out of time.
Claire Wiche is an ordinary woman, running her Wicca shop, The Wiche's Broom, in an ordinary California beach town. But Claire wasn't always ordinary, and she isn't quite human. She hides a secret, and a past she thought she had put behind her.
A past that is about to explode into her present.
When it does, and everyone she loves is in danger, Claire must face up to her past - and become what she left behind in order to save them.
