A to Z Challenge - Day 7: G is for Gargoyle!

Hey guys! This month is going to be awesome because I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. That means I'll be posting every day but Sundays on a letter themed topic and I'm going to try to involve the paranormal as much as possible.

The paranormal beings for today are Ghost, Gremlin, and Gargoyle. We all know what ghosts are, and who can forget those mischievous gremlins who mess with machines and technology. Gargoyles were a fascination of mine when I was young. They turn to stone and back again--so interesting to me.

Did you ever watch the cartoon, Gargoyles on TV? I did. That's what began my fascination with them. If you've read my novel, Obsidian, then you know there is a character in it inspired by gargoyles. Man I miss that show!

Hey guys! This month is going to be awesome because I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. That means I'll be posting every day but Sundays on a letter themed topic and I'm going to try to involve the paranormal as much as possible.

Today's paranormal beings are the Fairy and the Familiar. Fairies have a range of different forms in myth and literature.

A to Z Challenge - Day 5: E is for Encantado!

Hey guys! This month is going to be awesome because I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. That means I'll be posting every day but Sundays on a letter themed topic and I'm going to try to involve the paranormal as much as possible.

Today, the paranormal beings I have for you are the Elemental and the Encantado. Elementals are becoming very popular as of late and I do like to read stories about them. The Encantado, however, is rarely discussed in American literature of any sort. This is possibly due to the fact that the legend exists mainly in the Amazon. The Encantado is said to be a dolphin that changed into a hansom human man at night in order to seduce women into joining them forever. The more popular legend is that they become human simply to impregnate human girls and leave them with the child.

Okay, then. On to "E" books:


Elfblood Trilogy #1: Elfblood by Kyra Dune

A to Z Challenge - Day 4: D is for Doppelganger!

Hey guys! This month is going to be awesome because I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. That means I'll be posting every day but Sundays on a letter themed topic and I'm going to try to involve the paranormal as much as possible.

Your paranormal beings for the day are the Demon, Devil and Doppelganger. The Demon and the Devil are very similar. In most stories, Demons do the Devil's dirty work. Doppelgangers are basically a duplicate of a human. They are known to be evil and sometimes try to take over the life of the person they have duplicated. (Sounds like a version of a changeling huh?) One of the most famous Dopplegangers right now is Elena and Katherine in Vampire Diaries.

Next up, we have the "D" books:


Damaged Goods by Alexandra Allred
Dark Matter: Elemental Enmity Series #2 by Christie Rich

A to Z Challenge - Day 3: C is for Chupacabra!

Hey guys! This month is going to be awesome because I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. That means I'll be posting every day but Sundays on a letter themed topic and I'm going to try to involve the paranormal as much as possible.

Your paranormal beings for today are the Changling and the Chupacabra. The Changeling is a child who is not human that has been left in the place of a human child. The Chupacabra is a Mexican/South American legend that feeds on blood--usually the blood of cattle and other livestock. These two don't have much in common, and again I haven't hread any books with these creatures in them, but I have seen the movie, Changeling, with Angelina Jolie. (FYI: I'm a huge fan of Angelina Jolie and I think I've seen almost all her movies.)

A to Z Challenge - Day 2: B is for Big Foot!

Hey guys! This month is going to be awesome because I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. That means I'll be posting every day but Sundays on a letter themed topic and I'm going to try to involve the paranormal as much as possible.

The paranormal beings for today are the Banshee and Big Foot! Banshee are beings who cry out in the night to warn others of death. That makes them have something in common with Big Foot, who is often said to call out in the night. Perhaps these two creatures are closer in relation than they seem? Any books with Banshees or Big Foots in them? I have yet to read any, although I'm sure they exist . . . the books that is. Undecided about the beings themselves. How about you?

A to Z Challenge - Day 1: A is Awesome!

Hey guys! This month is going to be awesome because I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. That means I'll be posting every day but Sundays on a letter themed topic and I'm going to try to involve the paranormal as much as possible.

In the paranormal genre there aren't many limits to the kind of being you can have in your story. The two most popular "A" beings are Aliens and Angels. Most of the time you won't see these two in the same story. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen an alien and an angel in the same story. Have you?

That would be an awesome story I think.

My favorite book involving Aliens would be The Ultimate Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

I remember the first Alien book I ever read. The only problem is I don't remember the title.

As for Angels, I don't read a lot of Angel books. I've read some good short stories about Angels, but I can't think of them right now. What about you? Have you read any Angel fiction lately?

Here is a good book I've read recently that begins with "A"
