October, my favorite month. This is Halloween has been running on a loop in my head. I’ve been out hiking as much as I can with all the lovely leaf change. It is helping me forget some of the crap in the world if only for a little while.

I’m going back to These Haunted Hills which I’m finishing for nano if it kills me. Brendan and Josh are done ghost hunting for the day. They’re back at Brendan’s cabin, ready to get a little naked for the first time (reminder, since it’s been since forever, Green Tablet is Brendan’s bestselling YA series and he always has a glass pendant on that he uses almost as a worry stone)

He eased Brendan back then caught the edges of his own shirt, pulling it up over his head. “Maybe a little fun in the shower first, get the tick repellant off of us,” he said, figuring out no good way to make that sounds sexy.

Brendan snorted then pulled off his own shirt. He had the Green Tablet symbol tattooed over his heart but along it was something resembling an oscilloscope. Brendan tossed the shirt aside running a hand over his chest then his eyes popped open wide. Panic flashed across his face as he looked at his chest.

“My necklace!” he cried. “Oh god, I lost it. I can’t have lost it.” Brendan all but fell next to his shirt, shaking it hard. “It’s gone. It can’t be gone. Where is it?”

“Brendan,” Josh started then flinched as Brendan turned on him, face white as marble.

He jammed his fingers along his waist band checking to see if the necklace had lodged there. “What if I lost it in those fucking woods? I have to go back there now.” His voice cracked, going shrill.

I found out my asthma had gotten FAR worse than I thought, like I’m functioning only 70% of my lung capacity. Hopefully the new meds will help. On the good news side, if nothing else, Cassadaga Nights had one heck of a release blitz and I think it’s doing pretty good. I think this might be my last snippet from it.

For context, Santino and Cam are doing their morning yoga. Santino messed up a pose and has toppled over.

“What are you doing?” Cam shot him the gimlet eye, holding her grasshopper perfectly.

He grimaced but admitted the truth. “Thinking about Ryan.”

“And your erection off balanced you?” She smirked, flowing into child’s pose.

“Cam!”

Blurb : Santino Bellomi and his coworker, Cam, are sent to Cassadaga, Florida by the Aspida Pneuma, a group of psychics and mages. Their job is to rescue a nixie from a polluted lake and to check out the town, which is known for its psychics. New recruits to the Aspida are always welcome and where better than a spiritualist camp to hunt for them? What Santino wants most, however, is to finish the assignment quickly. He isn’t a fan of heat and humidity, and he’d looking forward to a well-earned vacation once the mission is over.

Ryan Doyle grew up in Cassadaga, where being psychic runs in the family. Ryan has never roamed far from home, though it’s hard being a geeky gay, wannabe urban fantasy author living in a small town. His job as one of the town psychics is fairly routine until he meets someone new. Ryan has never encountered anyone with a psychic shield so strong until Santino sits down for a reading. Intrigued, he asks Santino out even though Santino is as secretive as he is fun.

Santino hopes to win Ryan over both for himself and for the Aspida. And he’s hoping his skills in the kitchen will swing the balance in his favor. Ryan has almost given up on finding love, living in rural Florida. Can a seductive tourist be the answer to his dreams?

Things never run smoothly for those in the Aspida. What should have been a simple rescue mission is plagued by mosquitoes, enraged ghosts, and someone or something draining residents of their life force. Ryan’s first foray into adventure may be his last.

I tried to forget the sadness of RBG’s death by going out into the woods because it was a beautiful day. Everyone had that idea. Literally no place to park, I saw at least 100 people just in the parking area, no makes. I found a slightly better spot but it was still so crowded it wasn’t fun. Sigh. I’ll try again tomorrow elsewhere.

I have more of my new paranormal romance release, Cassadaga Nights

“Santino, I have something for you.”

“Is this a dirty call? I’m not alone.” He chuckled.

“Well, I was going to say meet me, but not for sexy times, regrettably.” God, did Ryan regret that. “Someone has, in theory, summoned a spirit that’s roaming the town, and JayEllen, another paranormal investigator, asked me to look into it. Want to come to the Cassadaga Cemetery with me?”

“How could I turn down such a weird date?

I’m so overworked and brain dead I thought my release was yesterday for Cassadaga Nights (I did a count down and everything.) It’s Monday. Head desk. Also sitting here looking at the west coast with such dread and sadness.

So I’llbe continuing with my paranormal novella Cassadaga Nights. Have I mentioned that I used to live in the psychic commune of Cassadaga for a few years? It is an odd, fun little place. I’m continuing on with Ryan’s first sighting of Santino at a psychic reading. Lisa is Ryan’s mentee in how to do readings.

Would it be ethical to break into Lisa’s reading if she wasn’t having trouble and hurry her along because Ryan really wanted to take this man’s hand? Touch governed his ability to read someone, visions sometimes coming to him when he didn’t want them. Sometimes knowing people too well by merely touching them, or something they valued, could be heartbreaking. It didn’t stop Ryan from wanting to hold this man’s hand. Watch it be one of the times his powers gave him diddly-squat.

I survived the first week of working literally two teaching jobs because of my ill coworker. I haven’t had time to do anything but that. I haven’t even properly promoed my novella. I need to figure out how to get it in front of reviewers.

I’m continuing with my upcoming paranormal novella Cassadaga Nights Ryan is training a psychic (Lisa) when he spots Santino waiting for his turn at the half-price days.

Lisa finished up with her client without much need of his help. Ryan glanced up to see who was up next. His pulse quickened when he spied the dark-haired man at the head of the line. A whisper short of average height, the stranger made up for it in form. While his TARDIS T-shirt, which read “You never forget your first Doctor,” wasn’t tight enough to judge chest muscles by, his tanned arms were toned as were his legs left bare by cargo shorts. The man got extra points for being geeky.
