Guest Post by Angela Brown & Gwen Gardner, authors of NEVERLOVE & GIVIN' UP THE GHOST: giveaway included!

I'm please to bring to you all today two awesome authors: Angela Brown, author of NEVERLOVE, and Gwen Gardner, author of GIVIN' UP THE GHOST. They have a really awesome post for you all today, totally in keeping with this Halloween season! (Oh, and I'm hanging out at What's Beyond Forks today if you want to stop by and say hello!)


A Ghost of a Chance
If you’ve never experienced the tingle of a butterfly kiss upon your cheek in the middle of the night when no one lay nearby, or a gentle chill upon your shoulder while resting quietly all by yourself, I wouldn’t doubt those who have.

Here’s a truth for you.  Neither Gwen Gardner nor myself find ourselves running to the theater to catch the latest ghostly horror or scurrying to the nearest haunted house to see if we can spot a real paranormal presence.  Honestly, I have no idea how I’d react to encountering what Indigo Eady deals with regularly in Givin’ Up The Ghost, what Jennifer Love Hewitt’s character deals with in Ghost Whisperer, or what that poor kid deals with in The Sixth Sense.  Really, I don’t want or need to see dead people.  Have enough work on my hands dealing with living, breathing beings J

Paranormal activities are believed in by many people.  Why?  My own theory is that there’s just too much all around to fit every little thing into a tiny category that fits snuggly into a box.  Too many things that can’t be explained with the basics of logic – or the complexities of logic.

Alcatraz is often mentioned as a place long haunted by evil spirits.  Even before its legacy as the most terrible prison in the United States, the island was used as a place of banishment.  With that kind of history, it’s no surprise a spirit or two may lurk about with a chip on its apparition shoulder.

Ghost hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson have gathered their cases into Ghost Files, a collection of investigations where they were called in to authenticate paranormal activities.  They weren’t just called in to notable haunted homes and hotels, but also warehouse/industrial locations and even a National Guard armory where a first sergeant hanged himself.  From recordings of voices picked up in white noise to ghostly photos, this duo and their hunting team made some interesting paranormal discoveries.

And you can get a chance to check them all out.

Before you run off to sign up for the giveaway, have you ever experienced something that just couldn’t be explained?  Maybe you’ve experienced a ghost of a chance.

Givin' Up The Ghost - Indigo Eady's life erupts into mischief and mayhem when a ghost enters her teen abnormal life demanding answers for his death.

Neverlove - For Abigail and Basil, there is a choice they both fear making.  Duty or love?  There can be only one.

  1. I am a big horror movie fan, so it takes a lot to scare me. The only weird thing that ever happened was one night when I came home to my apartment and there was a pounding on the door from the inside. I think I stood there a whole minute before going inside and finding no one.

  2. Thank you, Meradeth, for having Gwen and me here today. Paranormal activity isn't just the title to a scary movie, it's a way of life for some folks.

  5. I am NOT a horror fan! And, thankfully, I haven't experienced anything weird :) (I do get freaked out when I'm alone at home and I hear "house" noises!)

  6. I love the creepy stuff. Always have. Read horror as a teen and young adult. I dig all things paranormal, as I'm a bit para-norm myself, lol. I've watched lots on Alcatraz. I think the creepiest inmate there has to be the Birdman. Just his name alone sends shivers up my spine. Love, Jason and Grant (although, Grant is no longer on the show.). :)
