Book Description
Humans never knew how magic folks party. Until now. Halloween is Christmas on steroids if you’re of a magical persuasion, which isn’t my claim to fame. I’m more of an apprentice of sorts. Oh, not to be magical, that’s a born-with-it talent, but when I started waiting tables at a local pier bar, at sixteen, guess who discovered she won the world’s weirdest and most exclusive lottery? I, Cleopatra O’Keefe, am a Keeper. Which will probably kill me sooner rather than later. Now I’m fixin’ to debut as a bartender on my twenty-first birthday—which falls on Halloween—in the magical’s hidden bar, serving drinks that could kill me if they explode. Yikes. Lined up for the party are Greek gods, big scary shifters, and witches with crap attitudes. Add in a bunch of huge blue mer people with long, lethal knives and a herd of tiny fairies with murderous skills. Easy peasy, right? Magicals barely tolerate humans, except for one speedo-clad god who has the serious hots for me. I swear, if I survive the night, it’ll be a miracle with a side of mayhem. Good thing I’ve got a magic book and an attitude. I’ll need both.

Ghosts-murder-mayhem, a Chronicle of Santa Fe
Author: Allan Pacheco
Publisher: Sunstone Press
ISBN: 0865344108
Category : Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
If you like to have fun, this tabloid-like investigation of some of Santa Fe, New Mexico's most extraordinary events is for you. Here are "beyond belief" stories of the present and the days of yore that picture many compelling, serious and humorous events that have woven themselves into Santa Fe's colorful history. Many myths and facts are explored, and many bubbles are burst: Billy The Kid, Russian spies, hauntings, UFOs, the Santa Fe Trail, to name a few. This eccentric Santa Fe guide is full of sensationalism, revulsion, truths, lies and pleasant distractions. Written in a "Noir" fashion, the book mixes humor with hard-boiled memorable moments that could only happen in Santa Fe, The City Different. ALLAN PACHECO is a native Santa Fean who has a B.A. degree and has attended Law School. He has many patents (auto tool) and for years was primarily involved in international manufacturing and trade. Allan's love for Santa Fe knows no bounds. Perhaps it's in his DNA since his ancestors were Spanish Conquistadors who helped found the city.

A Season with the Witch: The Magic and Mayhem of Halloween in Salem, Massachusetts
Author: J. W. Ocker
Publisher: The Countryman Press
ISBN: 1581575548
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
Edgar Award-winning travel writer spends an autumn living in one of America's spookiest tourist destinations: Salem, Massachusetts Salem, Massachusetts, may be the strangest city on the planet. A single event in its 400 years of history—the Salem Witch Trials of 1692—transformed it into the Capital of Creepy in America. But Salem is a seasonal town—and its season happens to be Halloween. Every October, this small city of 40,000 swells to close to half a million as witches, goblins, ghouls, and ghosts (and their admirers) descend on Essex Street. For the fall of 2015, occult enthusiast and Edgar Award–winning writer J.W. Ocker moved his family of four to downtown Salem to experience firsthand a season with the witch, visiting all of its historical sites and macabre attractions. In between, he interviews its leaders and citizens, its entrepreneurs and visitors, its street performers and Wiccans, its psychics and critics, creating a picture of this unique place and the people who revel in, or merely weather, its witchiness.

Pages : 698
Book Description
This special-edition boxed set contains three complete first-in-series witchy paranormal cozy mystery novels: GRAVE MISTAKE When you pull up stakes, make sure you don’t get stabbed in the back. Hedgewitch Selena runs to Arizona to escape Lucien, a slimy, celebrity-schmoozing sorcerer. Just as she’s meeting the locals — including hunky Calvin Standingbear — Lucien tracks her down…then disappears. And when one of Lucien’s acolytes is killed, Selena and Calvin race against time before a too-close-for-comfort evil cuts her own life short. CAFFEINE BEFORE CURSES When a movie shoot ends in murder, a caffeine fix might be the star’s only hope. Skye O’Malley’s witch powers are nothing special. But when a film crew comes to town, they’re put to the test when the film’s star — her unrequited crush — is accused of murder. Max Sullivan needs a miracle, but if Skye’s tea leaves are too murky, a killer could get away clean. SPELLS AND SPANIELS Something’s got a spaniel familiar’s tongue…and it isn’t a cat. When an influential witch is found dead and her familiar, a spell-silenced spaniel named Milo, is attacked, Charity Hughes calls on handsome local veterinarian Noah Jenkins — and her familiar-whisperer gift — to race against time to find out why someone wants the spaniel to remain silent as the grave…permanently. KEYWORDS: witch, psychic, medium, telepath, movie star hero, actor hero, celebrity hero, small town romance, small town mystery, opposites attract, cozy mystery, cozy witch mystery, coffee shop, kitchen witch, free boxed set, free omnibus, free book bundle, free mystery, free cozy, free witch romance

Now that Geraldine Porter is retired, she's got time to devote to her favorite craft. You'd think the world of shoe-box-sized Victorian shadow boxes and little ceramic bathtubs would be trouble free.

Writing Beat and Other Occasions of Literary Mayhem
Author: John Tytell
Publisher: Vanderbilt University Press
ISBN: 0826502970
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The story and history of the Beats couldn't be found in the traditional libraries or archives of academic research. For preeminent historian of Beat culture John Tytell, it had to be found in the bars, towns, roads, and hangouts of these writers and figures. And as Writing Beat demonstrates, the same techniques apply to new and future writers. Approaching the history of postwar twentieth-century American literature, and in particular the Beat literary movement of Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and others, Tytell finds himself uniquely positioned as an eyewitness to many of these stories. In this book, he shares his insight with the reader. As he interviewed, drank, traveled, and survived countless moments with some of these literary legends, Tytell discovered much about the craft of nonfiction and biography, and the nature of history. Writing Beat demonstrates, through Tytell's growth as a professor and historian of the Beats, lessons learned and hazards encountered for those aspiring to become writers themselves. As we approach the sixtieth anniversary of Allen Ginsberg's Howl, Writing Beat reminds us writers do not spring to life fully formed, and the struggle to get to literature can be a blast.
