SWEET MADNESS, September 18, 2015 from Merit Press Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty one. Who was Lizzie Borden?

0 Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Only five more days until Halloween! Eep! So far we've had some amazing authors on the Trick-or-Treat Chronicles. In case you missed it, at first we had Kim Harrington, then Judith Graves, and Tessa Gratton. Today we have a very special guest. She's written just about a bazillion books and all of them have incredible ratings on Amazon and Goodreads. Somehow I was living under a rock and had only heard of Susan for the first time this year when I read her novel Very Bad Things. It literally blew my mind. Very Bad Things is a fantastic Y[...]
I'm so excited that so many fantastic authors were willing to let me conduct Halloween inspired interviews with them for the month of October.

She's the author of several titles such as Under my Skin (the Skinned series), Strangeways Versus the Blood Brothers, and Killer's Instrict. Hi Judith! Thank you so much for letting me interview yo[...]

After giving it a lot of thought, I decided that I wanted to conduct Halloween interviews with some of my favorite authors.

Much to my surprise and awe, many of them agreed to an interview! Kicking off my Trick-or-Treat Chronicles Ha[...]
It took me around an hour to even be able to write this blog post. I kept sporadically breaking out in dance and song. Yep, you could say that I'm excited. I swear, I couldn't even control my limbs. And now, I can barely contain my fingertips to write this post. I'm a HUGE Alice in Wonderland fan. I love the imagination, the story, and the fact that a book published in 1865 is still loved, cherished, and relevant today. Imagine my excitement when I got a message from Leap Books. In 2015, they're celebrating its 150th anniversary in a BIG WAY. Leap Books is putti[...]
