It's a Paranormal Lounge Christmas! #2

In the second Paranomal Lounge Christmas Post, I'd like to tell you all that even though it says "Christmas" in the title, you can still do these things for other holidays that you may be celebrating this time of year. This time of year is about being kind to those around you. It's not about who's holiday is best or whether we should say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas or whatever.

It's about telling the people you care about that you love them. So today's thing you can do to spread the holiday spirit with a paranormal twist is to send out a Happy Holidays email to all your friends who love paranormal books and movies as much as you do. you can also post to twitter and facebook.

I've created a special graphic just for the occasion! So if you'd like, save this picture and send it as an email or a post on facebook or create your own! People love gifts you make yourself!

A new short story published by Kayla Curry!

Hey everyone! I've published yet another short story, this time it is more on the paranormal side of things. Oomph! is pretty paranormal too, but it was a horror. Journey in an Unknown Land was just kinda strange. (You know what I'm talking about if you've read it)

This new story is called Falling Leaves and it's got a little love, a little mystery and a little adventure, with a good handful of magic. I'm thinking about making it into a series, but I'd like to see how it goes first.

So, here's the blurb:

A woman finds a special leaf that leads her to a magical and mysterious place. Will she believe what she sees when she finally gets there? Will she decide to stay?

And here is the cover (designed by me):

It's a Paranormal Lounge Christmas! #1

I was born around 6am on Christmas day back in 1987. My mother brought me home in a stocking. Yeah. She still has it too and she tells me every year, "You were my Christmas present that year."

So, sometihng about being born on Christmas just makes me have a special connection to that day. You'd think I would hate Christmas since my birthday gets pushed aside for the biggest holiday of the year, but no. I love Christmas.

Even though it's become quite the commercial holiday, I still think there is hope for Christmas. This month I will be periodically posting things you can do to enhance your Christmas non-commercially while adding a paranormal twist!

So the first thing you can do that is totaly free and therefore non-commercial, is pick up A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This story takes Christmas and throws in a little paranormal with the three ghosts. It's a classic and it was written in only 6 weeks.

New Release! A Prescription for Delirium by Noree Cosper!

Today is the release for Noree Cosper's new novel, A prescription for Delirium! Take a look at the blurb and pick it up today!







A Prescription for Delirium



Blurb:

Ninety years ago, Gabriella di Luca promised to protect the family of her dying lover. She failed to keep that promise. She was too far away to stop the devil that murdered the eldest Van Helsing son. Years later, Gabby learns the devil has resurfaced. She arrives in Hampton, TX, determined to stop the devil before it can lay a bloody hand on the remaining three brothers.



However, madness is spreading through Hampton. She suspects the devil is using this madness to test a drug which has a side effect of demonic possession. Gabby rushes to end the source of the madness only to fall victim to it. For a woman cursed with eternal life, dying is no threat. However, Gabby must stop the devil's plot or risk losing her most precious possession: her mind.



A Prescription for Delirium is released on December 1st, 2012. If you'd like to watch the trailer please go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7tLL7tYZhc



Bio:



Noree Cosper loves writing about magic in the modern world. While growing up in Texas she constantly searched for mystical elements in the mundane. She buried her nose in both fiction and books about Wicca, Religion, and Mythology. Everyday became an adventure as she joined a group of role-players, acting out her fantasies of vampires, demons, and monsters living in the world.



She embraced her nerdom wholeheartedly.



Noree grew, but never left her love for fantasy and horror. Her dreams pushed her and her hand itched to write the visions she saw. So, with her fingers on the keys, she did what her heart had been telling her to do since childhood. She wrote.

Noree can be found stalking people on Twitter and Facebook.

Be sure to check out her website for news on her works and tidbits of information

She also likes to ramble about things magical and supernatural on her blog Trip the Eclipse.
