<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perhaps got caught up in another haunting? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: large;">As a lot of you know, the PIPs are about to launch another
book tour, starting next week. It’s just a quick book blitz
this time, only four days. And yet, we have four to five stops per day. Never
fear, though, because we managed to borrow a cloning machine from a certain </span><a href="http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Garamond; font-size: large;">awesome blogger</span></a><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: large;"> we know…but I

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: large;">This tour will feature the sequels to our last books, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Neverlove</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Givin’ Up The Ghost</i>. </span></div>

action will be going on between the books, characters and authors on the tour. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<i>Psssst!</i><br />
<br />
Hey! Abby and Indigo here. We got a little secret for you.<br />
<br />
<b>Indgo:</b> Actually, it's just Abby.<br />
<br />
<b>Abby:</b> We agreed to do this together.<br />
<br />
<b>Indigo:</b> I just - I can't. What if Angela and Gwen find out?<br />
<br />
<b>Abby:</b> The readers have to know. Gwen and Angela could have left well enough alone but they didn't. I'm not trying to say something bad, not really, but they need to know that Gwen and Angela have some cruel imaginations putting us through so much.<br />
<br />
<b>Indigo:</b> I think that's called life, Abby. I'm so going to hell for sneaking like this.<br />
<br />
<b>Abby:</b> You're not going to hell but, <i>shhhh!</i> I hear someone coming. We better go!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paranormal happenings at the Eady household are the norm. Recently,
things have become downright peculiar. Childish giggles at odd hours of the
night lead Indigo Eady to her little cousin, Bryan, a guileless cherub spirit,
complete with Spider Man pajamas and a set of faux angel wings. The problem is
that Bryan died nearly three years ago in a hit and run that killed him and his
mum. The driver was never found. Now the
gang must solve the mystery of his death in order to send him back to heaven. But where to start when the trail is three
years cold? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

spirit community of Sabrina Shores causes her psychic abilities to
short-circuit? It’s unfortunate that her cute friend Badger is often on the
receiving end of her mishaps. At times, she is positively hazardous to his
health. Even so, sparks fly in more than one direction.</span></span><br />

I haven't tried it personally, but thanks to one particular movie, I'm not interested in EVER giving it a chance.<br />
<br />
What movie would that be? You're here with the Partners in ParanormYA so you know it's not a contemporary tale of love that turned me completely OFF to something that could actually be tasty.<br />
<br />
Let's have some fun and see who can come up with the title. Here are a few hints:<br />
- a supernatural horror movie from the early 1970's<br />
- a movie based on a novel that was in turn inspired by a true story<br />
- the movie starred a girl but the real life story that inspired the novel centers on events surrounding a boy<br />
<br />
Just thinking about that movie makes me want to sprinkle holy water on every inch of my home then take a shower in it for safe measure...oh, and spray Chipmunk down with holy water as well *shivers*<br />
<br />
So can you guess?<br />

There's more. <em>Soooo much more.</em> <br />
<br />
While at work on Monday, someone's cell phone went off and a voice echoed throughout the office that, "<em>Your father is trying to reach you</em>." I can tell you, it gave me pause, because I knew the father of this person to be deceased. My heart quickened for just a flash...<br />
<br />
But upon further research, it wasn't that person's phone.<br />
<br />
Still, my search for the phone prompted giggles and another story that goes something like this:<br />
<br />
<em>My friend was driving a truck and had to make a split second decision; to plow into a school bus full of children or drive off a bridge into an abyss. He drove off the bridge and died. An hour later his wife received a text from him that he was all right. She didn't even know he was dead yet...</em><br />
<br />
Yeah, these are definitely episodes waiting to happen in one of my books. I have a technology-loving seventeenth century wench as a secondary character. I'm pretty sure I'll be using something like that in my novella tentatively entitled <em>The Power of Three</em> in which this character features pretty prominently. <br />

This is the second installment in my <a href="http://publishness.blogspot.com/p/neo-chronicles.html">NEO Chronicles: Characters Revealed</a> series. Available now at Amazon US and other online outlets by Friday, it will make a nice slice of reading for a lunch break or for a quick read during the train/trolley/car pool work commute (ummm...if you're driving, No Reading While Driving lol!!)<br />
<br />
Here's a little excerpt. You'll see there's a bit of a difference in the description of the character and the model for the cover, but the cover - as a whole - embodies the dark mystery that is Caine Fordham.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Caine stood up slowly, smirking to conceal how much her
questions bothered him. Living a hundred years as a walking wasteland didn’t
leave him many career options.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>With a long, lean body, a sun-kissed tan (genetics, not from
being outdoors) and square jawline, his targets often mistook him for a male
model. “The brooding type,” is what he’d heard many times. If his chest,
stomach and back didn’t resemble black lace from the poisons that called his
body home, male model could work. He wore his black silky mane cut short at the
nape. Longer curls in the front veiled his eyes, making him even more
mysterious, or so women told him. A definite plus when luring his prey.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Bearing the kiss of death didn’t fit any job descriptions…with
one exception.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Assassin.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>And he had a spotless record with the Kill Circuit.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
I'll admit, I do love a man with a kiss that makes me feel like I've died and gone to heaven...just not one that will do it literally lol!!!<br />
<br />
Question: When it comes to book covers, do you prefer cover models, animation or perhaps symbolism?<br />
<br />

<br />
The Partners in ParanormYA have been up to plenty of mischief...<br />
<br />
<i>Frailties of the Bond</i> released in the last week as just an example.<br />
<br />
The month of April will be an extra busy time around the blogosphere. Bloggers from east, west, north and south will be participating in the <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/">A to Z blogging challenge</a>. Although PIP <a href="http://publishness.blogspot.com/">Angela Brown</a> will be cave-bound working on the sequel to <i>Neverlove</i>, follow up NEO Chronicles projects, and a sekrit MG project that may no be so sekrit if she keeps talking about it, PIP <a href="http://gwengardner.blogspot.com/">Gwen Gardner</a> will be participating in the A to Z blogging challenge. Make sure to stop by their blogs to enjoy what Gwen has in store for A to Z and keep up with Angela to see what nonsense - erm - activities she's up to.<br />
<br />
PIP's blog will go on a brief break for the month of April. But we'll be back!!<br />
<br />
Are you participating in A to Z? If so, have a theme to share?<br />

A group of heroes and heroines living life quietly, day by day, training and such, as needed.<br />

Until they are needed. Which can happen when malcontent humans or jealous gods and godesses decide to take their irritation out on the world. Or say...someone decides it's time for the world to face a reboot of mankind.<br />

Before NEO, many of the members were regular teens - okay, not so regular. But saving mankind wasn't the first thing on their mind.<br />

They loved. They hurt. And they dealt with the obstacles life threw their way.<br />
FRAILTIES OF THE BOND is a story of one such teen couple<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know, those little balls of light that show up in your photos? They have a scene in my WiP, a novella called <em>Second Death</em>. What would you think, if you were walking through the cemetery at night (<em>it could happen!)</em> and all of a sudden these little balls of light, called orbs, show up and start swirling around you? What if they were hypnotic? What <em>if</em>....I'll stop there. I don't want to give away the scene yet because it plays an import role in <em>Second Death</em>. But you can see that the paranormal fiction writer can go in so many directions with this, especially if you write about ghosts, as I do. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><em><strong>Here's what some are saying about orbs. </strong></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Some claim orbs are the souls of spirits or ghosts. After death, these souls stay on because they're bound to their previous lives for some reason, almost like an obsession-they can't let go or have unfinished business. The premise is that they travel as an orb to conserve energy in their natural forms. They're not as fully developed as ghosts. Ghost hunters actually go out looking for orbs to photograph them - they are quite photogenic.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Scientists say they are particles of dust or water on the lense of your camera. Or maybe light reflecting off gnats or bugs in the air. But what about those orbs seen over swamps, bogs or marshes with the naked eye? What about in the winter time when gnats and bugs aren't flying around?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><em><strong>What do I think?</strong></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I have no idea what to think. I believe in ghosts and the afterlife. Why not? Too many people have experienced something supernatural to discount it, including me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Anyway, at Christmastime I took a photo of my dogs. And so I pulled the photo out to check for orbs. Check it out:</span><br />

Since I know you guys are the ParanormYA experts, I want to run my new novella series by you. I'm having doubts and think you can help. If you already saw my IWSG post, then this is pretty much the same. <br />
<br />
My new novella series (An Indigo Eady Afterlife novella) is an off-shoot of my first series, the first book being <em>Givin' Up The Ghost</em>. My protag, Indigo, is a teenage ghost whispering psychic who can see and speak to ghosts, which is instrumental in solving the murder of her friend's dad. <br />
<br />
<br />
My new novella series was actually inspired by the second book in the original series, <em>A Guilty Ghost Surprised</em> (not yet published). There is a scene where Indigo has a conversation with Franny, a Victorian ghost madam (you may remember Franny from our blog tour, where she appears on a talk show with Father Quanon from <a href="http://publishness.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Angela Brown's</a> Neverlove <a href="http://www.ciaraknight.com/2012/10/12/a-madam-and-a-priest-walk-into-a-blog/" target="_blank">HERE</a> and also stages a fashion intervention <a href="http://michelle-pickett.blogspot.com/2012/10/partners-in-paranormya-blog-tour.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>). Franny reveals to Indigo that there is a whole spirit community in Sabrina Shores (mostly Victorian) that basically is parallel to the living world. They have community meetings, court each other, and socialize as if they're still alive. Franny hints that some of the creatures in the afterlife may not have actually been...<em>human</em>. And of course trouble was brewing on the horizon. <br />
<br />
So <em>Second Death</em>, the off-shoot, is...<em>more fanciful,</em> to say the least. It picks up from the conversation between Indigo and Franny in <em>AGGS</em> about the overactive spirit community in Sabrina Shores and takes it a bit over the top. Indigo is basically drafted onto the Missing Paranormals Committee by a ghostly high court judge during court proceedings of the highly active spirit world which takes place in an old dilapidated courthouse. She must serve on the committee alongside other spirits to investigate what happened to the missing spirits/ghosts/paranormal creatures. <br />
<br />
The new <em>Afterlife</em> series will also introduce other such afterlife characters that have been mutated by what they had become in previous lives. Add spirits, ghosts, these other paranormal creatures and mix it with sometimes bizarre paranormal happenings, and you get....something more over the top than the original series. But I think it still encompasses the light paranormal characteristics of my first series, and is, in my opinion, just like I said - more fanciful. <br />
<br />
The difference between the two series is that Indigo becomes much more active in the spirit world, rather on the periphery, in <em>Second Death</em>. <em>AND</em> there are some pretty off the wall creatures and happenings. <br />
<br />
I worry that it may be too over the top and wonder whether it will reflect on my original series in any way because I'm using some of the same characters. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I8A4Bel_bbg/UQdF5etbSFI/AAAAAAAACpQ/bM7dQ8PZr1E/s1600/Puzzle+pieces.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I8A4Bel_bbg/UQdF5etbSFI/AAAAAAAACpQ/bM7dQ8PZr1E/s320/Puzzle+pieces.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
It's easy to form the lower and upper edges along with the sides by finding the familiar, sticking to what's simpler to identify. With publishing, that often meant trying to follow the sage advice of others with more experience and knowledge, those who'd flourished at the time where only an agent got you where you wanted to be. When guidelines were followed and stuck to. Not so much nowadays. Forming the picture within, the final outcome, can take a lot of trial and error. This includes trying to fit pieces where they're not the best fit.<br />
<br />
I tried that with <i>Neverlove</i>. I attempted to fit it into a pitch contest early last year. Seemed like the right thing to do, try and get the attention of a growing small press. It got no interest at all. None. No surprise since I have to admit it wasn't a 100% whole-hearted effort. Instead of being totally bombed about it, I took it as the beginning of a revival. I'd been considering self-publishing for a while. At the same time, I'd gotten back some AWESOME feedback on improving <i>Neverlove </i>and got into some great conversations with Gwen Gardner about self-publishing our novels and promoting them at the same time.<br />
<br />
Brilliant!!<br />
<br />
Far from falling apart, the puzzle pieces were falling into place, not forced or fitted into something someone else may have thought it would/should belong.<br />

However, I think we made a left when we should have made a right. Or I had the map turned sideways instead of straight side up. Either way, we found ourselves at a magnificent Facebook spot called Untethered Realms. There, we joined with a few other Indie authors to share and support one another. If you haven't already, please stop <a href="http://www.facebook.com/UntetheredRealms">here</a> and "Like" us :-)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From there, we had to draw the hunt to a close. Good thing we did, too. Piles of paper poured through the door when we returned to PIP HQ.</div>

<div>
Gwen handed me her gear and immediately activated her super powers; organizing, collating, grouping, compiling, and turning the place back into a respectable version of chaos. I found my Wild Cherry Pepsis remained unharmed so I was great.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, I can't say I'm <i>just </i>excited. I'm excited, thrilled, ecstatic, through-the-roof, dancing-a-jig and boot-scootin' happy to remind everyone of the Next Big Thing my PIP, Gwen, is doing.</div>
<div>

It's the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/325449000904734/">Indies 4 Hire Event at FB</a>. Get the deets and more by going<a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/325449000904734/"> here</a> to check it out and join in the fun to come. Starts January 21st. WOOT!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, where has entering a dark and creepy ginnel taken you? For us, it was certainly an interwebz adventure :-)</div>
