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. Today on Trick-or-Treat Chronicles we have a fantastic author who was kind enough to take a moment from her writing and zombie organizing to let me interivew here. Today, I welcome Judith Graves, a fantastic young adult author. 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[...]

0 I really wanted to do something special this year for Halloween. After I brainstormed ideas, I decided that whatever I did had to be book related. After giving it a lot of thought, I decided that I wanted to conduct Halloween interviews with some of my favorite authors. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure I would get much of a response, especially since I brought out the big guns and emailed some of the biggest names in YA (all of them my favorite YA authors).

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.

In 2015, they're celebrating its 150th anniversary in a BIG WAY. Leap Books is putti[...]
Recently, for Pen & Muse's Summer School, I wrote a piece for the Alternative Types of Writing segment called "What the Hell is a Blovel + Freebie Alert." Essentially, a blovel is a novel you write on your blog. I included a ton of tidbits in that post and a freebie to help plan your blovel. So if you're interested in starting your own, I highly recommend checking it out. Anywho, I was so excited about the post, I decided that I was going to write my own blovel. So here it folks. My blovel, NIGHT DARES. If you prefer reading on Wattpad or Penned, you can fo[...]
It's amazing to me, the success that Kristen Strassel has had since the initial publication of her debut novel Because the Night. Because the Night was published in November 2013 and it has caught on like wildfire. In such a short period of time, she has received almost 100 collective 4 and 5 ratings on her book. People have nothing but amazing things to say about it, such as this small snipper from the review of Jillian Marques on Goodreads, "Hmmm... Sex, drugs and rock n' roll. Need more? Ok, throw in some vampires. How about some mystery? Murder? Cliffhangers?[...]
