Halloween Spirit Search Continues
Only twelve days until Halloween! Can you believe it? Toil and Trouble continue their search for the Halloween Spirit.
Well, October’s cooler days and chilly nights have arrived. Yippee! As we continue the annual Halloween countdown, the aspen’s leaves have turned spectacular shades of yellow, gold, orange and red before being swirled to the ground by a storm front in the Colorado high country 
followed by several inches of snow. The lower elevations received a frost warning and much cooler days and nights.
This week, Toil, Trouble, Bubble bat, Moby Fish, Aragon Spider, Octavia and the newest member of the Skeleton Squad, Chloe Cobra escaped outdoors only to discover a yard full of ghosts and a pumpkin lounging on the front porch swing, Yet no one admitted to seeing the Halloween Spirit. Consequently, Toil and Trouble totally disgusted at their lack of progress called Broomhilda to see if she’d had any luck?
Broomhilda’s (skeleton), from Texas (thank you Jessica) search caught her up in a spiders web from which she was trying to escape with the help of her skeleton friend Dave. Doesn’t look like Dave is much help. LOL Nothing to report on the search for the Halloween Spirit. She hopes to have better news next week.
Join us next Thursday, October 26, 2022 for another update on The Skeleton Squad’s progress, I overheard them saying they would continue their search in the great outdoors. Each week there will be new pictures of where the Skeleton Squad are searching and how Broomhilda is helping. In the month of October beside their search for the Halloween Spirit, the Skeleton Squad will help me list the most haunted cities in America on my Say What Blog. Have you ever seen a ghost? A visit to haunted places in Colorado, my own stomping ground, Spooktacular tips to keep your pet safe this Halloween season. Do you suffer from Samhainopobia? That’s the fear of Halloween. These are just to name a few. Check back in the coming weeks to see what other discoveries the Skeleton Squad scare up!
Only twelve days days until Halloween! Bwwwaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

A little about A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance – Not what you’ve come to expect from a Vampire Tale! Join Stefan and Brandy on an exciting Romantic Fantasy that begins in Glacier National Park, winds through Australia. Will they make it to Ireland in time?
Stefan is a Native American vampire, former assassin for the Vampire Council. In a twist of fate, he now DJ’s the midnight shift for a small radio station in Whitefish, Montana, on the edge of Glacier National Park where his secret is safe until…
Born in Ireland, Brandy now works as a park ranger and trail guide in the park. During a full moon, Stefan and Brandy’s paths cross in a near physical collision on a trail. Their attraction is immediate and undeniable, almost as if fate demanded it.
Their union was foretold long ago in Irish folk tales where vampires and gryphons, warlocks and demons, witches and faeries must work together for the good of man and magic kind. Is a trip to Ireland the key to unraveling secrets and returning the magic?
A sneak peek between the pages of A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance!
“Whoa.” She stepped lightly to the side to avoid the flying debris. “You really should watch where you’re going, especially at that speed.” Her voice scolded, but the smile on her lips teased. “Someone could get hurt.”
Pretending to pant, he shrugged, holding his palms up in surrender. “Just trying to get my run in before work. Stefan Talltree, at your service.” He stepped closer, leaned over in an exaggerated bow, and caught her hand, brushing his lips over the palm and wrist, inhaling her sweet scent. AB negative with a pulse of adrenaline. Perfect. Her pulse beat a tattoo against his lips. He backed away.
Her heart thundered as she drew her hand from his grasp. “The name’s Brandy. Pleased to meet you, Stefan.” Her smile reached up into her bright eyes as they swept over him with an appreciative glance, an experience he enjoyed.
Her voice had a hint of Irish lilt to it. He liked that too.
“Where do you work that requires you to report in at—” She glanced at her watch. “—midnight?”
Nostrils flaring, he paused. Blood? Not hers. The sound of Brandy’s voice brought his attention back to her and the situation at hand. “Oh, shit, I’ve gotta go!” He sprinted off, leaving her standing alone.
As he started down the trail, the tree branches swayed in the silvery moonlight, casting eerie shadows across the trail’s edge. The breeze brought with it the coppery scent of fresh blood mixed with sulfur. He turned for one last look at her as she wrinkled her nose before silently creeping into the wind, tracking the source of the stench.

A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance #99cents #MFRWHooks
Yippee!! #MFRWHooks presents A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance, third book the best selling #mystery #fantasy #romance. A Demon’s Witch Series. All six books can be read as stand alone. Not what you’ve come to expect from a Vampire Tale! Be swept away into a magical romantic fantasy adventures, you’ll never want to leave. Join Stefan and Brandy for an exciting romantic fantasy where magic may save the day. But will it be too late? Join the #fantasy#adventure, download a copy or two today!
How it all began. During a camping trip we stayed right smack dab in the middle of Glacier National Park. At night around the campfire under a full moon you could hear the wolves howl and the coyotes call. I imagined a vampire running through the bush over the trails, but it couldn’t be an ordinary vampire. And who would he meet on the trails?
Stefan, a Native American vampire, was a character from my first book in A Demon’s Witch Series, A Demon’s Witch. It became a best seller five months after its release. For A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance, I wanted to write a different vampire tale, so rather than leave him as the Vampire Council’s assassin, I released him from service and he moved to Montana, took a job as the midnight DJ for a small radio station on the outskirts of Glacier National Park. Different huh? Research for this book was a trip to Glacier National Park and I drew upon my time as a DJ at a local classic rock station KKFM in Colorado Springs. Not to mention several virtual trips to the enchanting land down under, Australia.
Won’t you join Stefan and Brandy on an exciting romantic fantasy where vampires and gryphons, warlocks and demons, witches and faeries walk among us. Some creatures are willing to put aside their differences to work together for the good of man and magic kind, other’s will stand in the way. Makes a GREAT Halloween Treat!

A new peek between the pages of A VAMPIRE’S UNLIKELY ALLIANCE:
“We’ll all rendezvous on holy ground, cast the spell before the demons regroup, and we’re home free for a few thousand years. Hopefully.”
Lightning streaked across the night sky. Thunder rumbled, shaking the ground underfoot, yet the full moon shone down on the druid altars inside the grounds of Mary’s Castle, County Cork, Ireland, where the couples gathered.
Books of Shadows lay open on hallowed ground, glowing as they turned a soft, rich liquid gold, flowing into each other, forming one. The wind howled around the stone formations and whipped around the couples as dark clouds formed, floating across the full moon. Darkness enveloped the land. Only the golden glow of the Books remained. Then it was silent. When the storm clouds parted, the moon shone blood-red with a muted ring of rainbow colors encircling it. The chanting ceased, and the Books slowly separated, returning to their ancient leather-bound form.
“The deed is done,” declared Tiarnan, King of Faeries, “The world is safe. The gates of Hell are bound tightly, the portals destroyed, the fabric of time strengthened, so there is no possibility of escape…for now.
Stefan quirked a brow and turned toward Tiarnan. “For now?” He inquired incredulously
“Yes, for now. The remainder of the legend has yet to come full circle. We cannot control the behavior of man, so there will always be a need to patrol magickind.”
