Happy Halloween!

I want to thank all of you who have read and commented on my blog. I especially want to thank the many of you have supported me in little and big ways.



Last year, I hosted a Halloween Haunting .


This is how it works:

1) Tell us about your blog.

2) If you’re a writer, what genre(s) do you write?

3) Are you looking for a critique partner(s)?

4) Please advertise the Halloween Haunting. (*See below.)


Then haunt at least 3 other the blogs from the comments section.


*Advertise my HALLOWEEN HAUNTING on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or your blog, and you could win a copy of FANGTALES!

If Book Depository delivers to you, you are eligible to win.

I’ll choose a winner on 11/07.


Happy Haunting!

    Hi Theresa....I write general fiction. My blog features whatever happens to pop into my head at any given time and I would love a critique partner.

    Will of course pass the word of your Halloween Haunting.

    Congratulations again on Fangtales!

    Wishing you and yours a very happy Samhain/Halloween.

    Samhain... I had forgotten about that name for Halloween. I think I'm going to say that today. :)

    1. My blog is about writing, usually my writing.
    2. I write YA though across genres. So far I have a contemporary fantasy and something I can't decide on. I"ll be writing a supernatural for NaNo.
    3. I'll share somewhere when I get home from school.

    Oh fun! My blog is about the trials and tribulations of the query trenches from an unpubbed view point. I also talk about the craft of writing, the publishing industry and various book releases and reviews.

    Happy Halloween!

    1. My blog is a mish-mash of writing, book reviews, and personal posts.
    2. I write YA -- mostly in the Fantasy & Science Fiction field.
    3. Not looking for a CP at this moment, since I don't yet have a completed ms, but if you write YA SF, maybe we could try in the future? :)
    4. I'll advertise on Twitter presently!

    How fun! I'm not entering but I'll tell you about my blog and my writing.

    My blog is Under the Tiki Hut. It's a warm and relaxing place for writers and readers to hang out. I post M/W/F on eclectic topics.

    I write Crime Fiction with a Kiss. Officially that's crime fiction with romantic elements, but I like my definition better :)

    Hey! I missed this last year, but what a super-great idea! yay! My blogs about writing, life, reviews, whatever's in my head. I write YA and adult fiction, and I'm not really looking for a CP at the moment. But new friends are always welcome. :o)

    Happy Halloween, T!

    What a fun way to celebrate Halloween! Let's see my blog is mostly about writing with an occasional dash of 80s-related whatnot. I don't like to tie myself to one genre, but I'd say I trend toward Chick Lit & Romance. I actually happen to be blessed w/ the best crit partner in the whole wide world. :) I'll get tweeting toute suite!

    P.S. The Fangtales cover is awesome!

    My blog has no theme. I honestly don't know why anyone visits. I write about writing sometimes but more often than not a bitch about publishing or agents or something like that. Then inbetween I post funny .gifs I find.

    Writer's Ally is were I spotlight authors, books, and explore the publishing world. I also chat about motherhood. My team blog is for exploring all that is YA.

    I write YA, MG, & picture books.

    I can always use a new set of eyes. I would love a solid PB critique partner as well as a regular group of YA critters. I really enjoy helping others with their WIPs, too!

    I'll tweet away!

    My blog is about my writing of course, and any other tidbit of my life I care to share. Nowadays I mainly write adult urban fantasy but in the past I have also written YA fantasy. Quite possibly in the near future I could use a few critique partners. I advertised the Halloween Haunting on my blog:

  21. J.C. MartinOctober 31, 2011 at 3:24:00 PM PDT

    Great idea!

    1.) My blog deals with writing and the journey towards publication. IT also deals with the odd bit of martial arts

    2.) My novels have been crime fiction, but my short stories vary -- lately they seem to sway towards horror

    3.) Not currently seeking a critique partner

    4.) FB, G+ and Twitter

    This was so much fun last year. I found some great blogs.

    1. My posts usually have something to do with what class I subbed that day.

    2. I write fantasy and sometimes science fiction.

    3. I will eventually need a critique partner, but not until I finish something.

    4. I will post on Facebook and Twitter. Tomorrow, hopefully. (I'm playing catch up today, and in about an hour I'm going out trick or treating with my niece and nephews.)

  24. Arlee BirdOctober 31, 2011 at 8:03:00 PM PDT

    This is a great way to mingle. Unfortunately I'm so behind from my week away from home that I'm just trying to catch up to those who commented on my posts while I was away that I won't be able to play quite like I'm supposed to. But I will answer the questions.

    1. My main blog is an eclectic mishmash of different things, but mostly it is related to writing.

    2. I write stories that usually have spiritual connections (though not usually overt) or look at various issues using various genres including sci-fi, modern historical, and life studies.

    3. I would like to find critique partners for when I have a novel completed. I have critiqued the work of others.

    Have fun with the Haunting!

    Neat hop!

    1. My blog is sometimes about writerly humor but mostly about nothing. Like Seinfeld. Although I do like myths and folklore so on Sundays I do a mythbusting evaluation of those type of things.

    Hi Theresa,

    Congrats on Fangtales! What an awesome cover. I'd join your Halloween fest if I hadn't just started NaNo today. And after being unplugged for over 9 days (stupid computer crashed) I have so much catching up to do. I need to put in 10 to 15 hr. days all month. If you do your blogfest next Halloween, I'll join in the fun. I think it's a great idea!
