Newest Book on my TBR list. She is a Haunting.
One review I read of this literary horror novel is that it had serious Mexican Gothic vibes. And the cover of this book is just as gorgeous. Check it out here.
Here's an interview with the writer. (I love interviews where writers talk about how they came to write their stories.
The reviews promise a reader will be seriously creeped out, and that the book belongs on a shelf beside Rebecca and The Haunting of Hill House (my favorite horror novel ever. I read it so many times, I can quote the opening and closing pages by memory.)
Here's an excerpt of the first chapter to get you hooked.

Publication Day!! What If?
What if there were no more happy endings?
My story was inspired by Peter Pan and features a fairy, some lost boys, and a wicked Queen holding sway over a kingdom.
Buy your copy here.
Writing the story gave me an idea for a new trilogy of tales that re-imagines characters from classic children's lit in a far more sinister wy. No, I'm not going all agro on Winnie the Pooh, but there are a couple of characters that have always bothered me...I felt like there was a story behind them that we never knew. And Tinkerbelle is one. I've commissioned artist/designer Grady Earls to make the covers and I can't wait to share them with you.
I have two other trilogies planned with his covers and looking at my schedule for the next couple of years, I am going to be busy!!!

re-imagined Fairy Tales
You probably have a favorite fairy tale and if you do, you probably enjoy reading new versions of them. I know I do. This anthology is full of fairy tales with a twist. Some of them are told from the villain's point of view, some of them turn out a little unexpected. My story (written as Katia Kozar) is a retelling of an old tale called "The Fish and the Ring." I set it in the present, and the story features a young working class woman, the wealthy young man who loves her, and his father's attempt to break them up. The title is, "Friday the Special is Fish."
You can preorder Wicked Ever After for 99 cents. Only on Kindle.

In addition to the anthology, there are all sorts of goodies--rewards for the different levels. More books are better than no books, right?
And we've blasted past our initial goals and are working on our stretch goals for this last day of the campaign. Check out some of what you'll get.
