HELLO!

(Yes, this is me as Sarah Winchester for Halloween. Also, yes, this is pretty much my general wardrobe give or take a lace layer. Yes, I wrote a long chapter in this book about Sarah Winchester because I really love her and find her to be fundamentally misunderstood.)

I just wanted to drop by and say it's still Women's History Month and it's still a GREAT time to read about historical women and how their stories resonate with us today. BONUS: you can do this through ghost lore! Here's how!

A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN: TRUE STORIES OF AMERICA'S GHOSTS examines women's history by using ghost stories; unpacking how we talk about women, alive and dead. Available wherever books are sold, in paperback, audio and digital! Retailer links here!

Word-of-mouth is so important for books like ours, so if this book interests you, could you please share? Thanks so much and Happy Haunting!

WIP Wednesday

“Congratulations Nik. I am happy for you.” Given the tone, Caroline almost believed Rebekah but Klaus said nothing. Rebekah did not wait for a reply, instead heading towards Elijah’s study. Elijah gave an exhausted sigh and reached to grip Klaus’s shoulder, offering a comforting squeeze before following Rebekah inside.

The room grew still, the only thing to be heard were the echoes of Caroline’s own thoughts and the soft clicking of Katherine’s heels as she swiftly left them alone together. Alone. There was no need for chaperones or Katherine’s prying eyes. They were married and Caroline found herself standing in a room, alone, with her husband for the first time. They were feet apart, peering at one another and she realized just how much of a stranger her husband was. At least to her he was.

She questioned just how much of a stranger she was to him.

The cold glare that Klaus had worn only seconds prior faded away into that look of yearning he had resting upon his face during their wedding breakfast. The room grew hotter and Caroline felt it hard to breathe. Her heartbeat picked up, racing in her chest but she couldn’t look away from him. The silence was deafening, an omen of what their marriage could hold once they found themselves alone in a manor far away in the country.

But then Klaus took a step forward, placing one foot in front of the other and moved towards her. He was low, cautious almost as though he was approaching a wild animal. She wondered what she must look like to him that would make him so hesitant to come to her. The rumors that flooded around him made little sense with the man who was coming closer to her now. There was a gentleness that would not be possible for a man who murdered his first wife. At least, that is what Caroline thought as he stood directly in front of her. Klaus did not look away from her as his hand reached up to cup her face, his thumb grazing across her cheek bone. He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, causing Caroline’s eyes to flutter shut.

This kiss was different from the one they had shared when they took their vows. That one was sweet, gentle and quick but this was anything but. The way Klaus’s lips molded to hers, moving with a passion that made Caroline wonder if she was being devoured. Not carnally but as her body pressed against his, with one hand resting on her hip and the other firmly pressed against her cheek, there was a feeling spreading down deep into her core that she could not name. Her lips parted and his teeth sunk down onto her lip, piercing it.

Caroline hissed in surprise but the slight pain wasn’t unpleasant. Klaus pulled back, his eyes flickering down to her lips. His thumb ran across them, the blood spreading from the wound and she could taste it on her tongue. There was no apology waiting for her on his lips but Caroline found that she did not want one.

“Let's take a walk through the rose garden.” Klaus whispered, almost afraid that speaking any louder would draw unwanted attention to them,

What's your favorite color combo?

Even though my favorite color is emerald green, the cohesion of the dust jackets and naked hardcover might just be my new favorite. I'm not generally a purple fan (my school colors from kindergarten through 12th grade were purple and white), but I love this!

The spoiler card art from the September box was sadly not included, but it should be in the October box (which is currently out for delivery as I type this at 9:15 am). I'll post it in my stories (on insta) when I've retrieved it after work.

Reading Victorian ghost stories like:

My name is Basil Smurthelson, I am a sickly little man. I work for two hours a day, blowing dust off old books, but am somehow very rich. Today I fainted after meeting a very polite ghost. My doctor, who does not believe me, prescribed brandy and told me to go on vacation with my 20 servants. The end.

Weird Question, I'm trying to make a list of classic (like Victorian/Edwardian/before 1960s) Ghost Stories with colors in the titles for a Halloween thing, but I can't figure out something for Orange, Pink, Blue or Indigo. Any ideas?

Here's what I've got so far, a few of them have multiple as I'm still deciding which I want to do:

The White People/The Novel of the White Powder

Pink

The Red Room/The Red Lodge/Masque of the Red Death

Orange

The Yellow Wallpaper/The King in Yellow

Green Tea/Girl with the Green Ribbon

Blue

Indigo

The Violet Car

Young Goodman Brown

The Novel of the Black Seal

The Colour Out of Space (for good measure xD )
