The Review 

Kaye Lynne Booth, Writing to be Read 

Lured into a conflict between two vampires, one a viciously insane vampiric killer who thrives on torturing her, Riley is determined to see Wilhelm stopped at any cost. The other vampire, Julian, is after the same prey, placing them both on the same side, and he is equally determined to keep Riley from harm’s way because they are related. This is book one in Mullan’s Legacy Universe series, and I got the distinct impression that Riley will play an important role in something much bigger in future books.

Mullan doesn’t use dialog tags, which makes it difficult to know who is speaking at times, but probably reads aloud smoother. Perhaps she plans to do audiobook versions in the future. Her characters are larger than life, and you can almost feel Riley’s pain from Mullan’s vivid descriptions. I’m not sure I buy into vampires with governing bodies, as these seem to, but I can accept it for what it is and immerse myself in the world for a time.

An interesting take on the vampiric universe. I give In the Name of Blood Vampires are Relative four quills.

Undawnted Book Review: The Ones Who Stayed with Me, Nurse Sammy

Book Review:

The Ones that Stayed with Me, by Nurse Sammy, is a poignant set of stories based in the healthcare industry. As a former caretaker who dealt with hospitals, doctors, nurses, and medical insurance for a relative, The Ones Who Stayed with Me is an enduring, loving, and yet at times, heart-breaking, memorable memoir of “Nurse Sammy.” 

In this book, people not familiar with the other side of the desk are initiated into being a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Registered Nurse (RN). From behavior problems, accidents, and life-threatening injuries, nurses have to deal with patients who are unable to take care of themselves. On the other side of the aisle, nursing staff have to deal with emotional family members, who want to protect their loved ones, but sometimes at the price of taking their feelings of helplessness out on the employees. In the middle of this seesaw, these medical professionals must balance doctors, inspectors and the legal perimeters, which the staff must obey.

Nurses and their staff have to navigate the law, doctors, the elderly and disabled as well as their family members, which is stressful and emotional. At times, it is a thankless task. Still, nurses arrive every day to take care of their patients.

If you want to understand what healthcare staff like nurses go through in their field, then don’t pass up the chance to read the reality in The Ones Who Stayed with Me.

Midnight Oil Anthology Presents: The Initiation, Part of the Quantum Consciousness Series

The short story, The Initiation, is published in Midnight Oil Anthology through WordCrafter Press. 

The narrative leaves off where The Reality Hackers (Visions anthology, as well as Sonoran Dawn Studios novelette) did. The intriguing update reveals that John and Elleanor Chisum were murdered, leaving their three children orphaned.  

The Chisums' daughter, Eliza, finds her first year in college a challenge. When she writes a research paper for her introduction to physics course, the professor gives her a failing grade. Like her mother, Eliza sees beyond the five senses as a conduit of pure consciousness. As she drifts through quantum consciousness, she learns of her past, new allies, and a dark threat behind another door to her future.  

Enjoy a scene from The Initiation with this dramatic reading by DL Mullan: 

The Initiation also provides a cameo from the popular character, Sarah Mitchell, from Mangled (Midnight Roost anthology, as well as Sonoran Dawn Studios' novelette) and Hode: Be Honor in Your Wars (Sonoran Dawn Studios' novel).   

This story is its own stand-alone novelette for publication through the Legacy Universe next year.  

Join all the character excitement and take a journey into the unknown.

A Salt Pines Mystery  

My short story, Kurst, published the year prior in Midnight Garden is based on an ancient curse. This submission cycle, I decided to be a reader and not a participant, since I wrote a story about the theme last year. I don't want to bore anyone! 

Funny thing is, the initial story took on a life of its own. Now, Kurst is part of A Salt Pines Mystery trilogy of novelettes/novellas... so, altogether does that make a full novel then? We're going to find out! 

The first story is Wallen. It's about Karen Kurst's ancestor, who started on this journey to solve the homicidal monster mystery. Next, is Kurst, about Karen, who you all met in Midnight Garden. The last story is Bear. The intrepid guide of the mystery.  

Or, is he? 

Just adding to the mystery! 

______

About Kurst

Karen Kurst comes into the legal possession of her deceased grandmother's cabin in Salt Pines, Arizona. As she delves into the secrets of the quaint mountain village, she discovers that there is more than meets the eye. A mysterious creature roams the woods, a blended cryptid: Elemental, Sasquatch, and Skinwalker. The only way to contain this entity is through a magical spell passed down by her ancestor, Ralph Wallen II. Teaming up with the local indigenous sheriff, Karen is determined to break the family curse. 

However, the question remains - will she have to sacrifice her own life to protect her newfound community?

Undawnted Press Release: Saving the Conjuring House for Future Generations

Undawnted and the Paranormal 

As a paranormal explorer, investigator, and researcher for over two decades, I support the saving of the Conjuring House. 

Over the years, I visited various locations and have great stories to tell about them, including: The Whaley House, Star of India, and the now converted to an office building, the Santa Rita Hotel. I was immersed, so much so, that I became a horror journalist for the local speculative fiction society and wrote about my adventures to haunted locations. 

The byline, as well as other columns (e.g., books, reviews, featured article, etc.), earned me three consecutive Media Press Badges at Comic-Con San Diego before my body collapsed due to my disabling health conditions. That's plural. I fight for my life every day, but I continue to support others' efforts to bring about positive outcomes in the world.  

As I learned about myself, I am a sensitive to energies. A light in the dark. Understandably, the paranormal has been a constant companion throughout my life. At first, I did not understand the occurrences that I experienced from childhood, youth, and into adulthood until I confronted them. Now, I am at peace with the unknown. 

However, as a history major, I would love for this home to be saved. It predates the establishment of the United States. The home and property are a treasure. History, if possible, should be salvaged, not destroyed. 

If you can manage a few dollars, then please donate to this incredible cause: The Conjuring House -Together We Make History.

Thank you!

The Conjuring House -Together We Make History 

 

Hello, I'm Jason Hawes.

Many of you may know me from Ghost Hunters.

I've dedicated my life to exploring the unknown and trying to make this field accessible for everyone.

I have never wanted to buy the Conjuring House. I’ve publicly stated this many times over the years, and I meant it. 

 

But, I have been contacted by past owners, employees, residents, all begging me to step in and try to save this property from being exploited and priced out of the range of the majority of people.

If you are unaware, The Conjuring House is going up for auction on October 31'st. 

 

If we don’t step in, there’s a very real chance it will be bought by some whose only goal is to turn it into a money making machine.

This isn’t just another piece of real estate. This house is an important part of paranormal history. 

 

It's a place that has drawn all types of investigators. Believers, Non believers, skeptics, debunkers and those that are simply curious from all over the world.

For decades, it has connected people. It has sparked curiosity, debate, and exploration. It’s a place that has helped keep history alive, and it deserves to be preserved, not exploited.

I’ve decided to act because so many have asked for my help.

I believe that as a community, we can make a difference. 

 

I’ve created this GoFundMe to raise funds needed to save the Conjuring House at auction. 

 

I’ll personally add as much as possible to give us the best possible chance to succeed.

If we’re successful, the Conjuring House will be placed into an LLC and those from this properties history will help run it and keep it open. 

 

Those who know and respect the true history of the property. They will oversee its day-to-day operations, keeping it open for tours, investigations, and anyone who wants to experience it.

I want to be clear:

I’m not looking to profit from this gofundme, and I have no plans to run the daily operations. This will cost me money!

I’m stepping in now for only one reason, because people I care deeply for asked me to. 

 

Lets try to preserve this house and protect its legacy for the paranormal community and for future generations, and to keep it from being priced out of the majority of peoples ability.

This truly feels like the last chance to save the Conjuring House. If we don’t act now, we may lose it forever to some that want it to be a money making machine, who won’t honor its history or its significance.

I can’t do this alone. To succeed, I'm asking everyone who cares about this property, and about what it represents, to step up and help. 

 

This could be historic! 

 

Together, we can protect this piece of history and keep it accessible for all who want to walk through its doors.

Please consider donating today. Every contribution brings us one step closer to making sure the Conjuring House remains what it was always meant to be — a place to learn from, experience, and share for generations to come.

How the Funds Will Be Used

Every dollar raised in this campaign will go directly toward purchasing the Conjuring House at auction.

If we are successful at the auction, the property will be placed into an LLC and be run by those from its history that are dedicated to preserving it.

I want to be absolutely clear: I am not seeking to profit from this Gofundme.

My role here is clear. I have been asked to help save this property by Andrea Perron, and many others around the globe. 

 

All I can do try!

This is a big undertaking, and I am willing to reconsider my position and help do what I can. This will take a historic movement! 

 

Together, We can make sure it remains open for tours, investigations, and visitors for generations to come.

If we do not win the auction, Refunds will be granted "unless a donor chooses to have their contribution directed toward other historic preservation efforts".

If we succeed and raise more than what is needed to purchase the property, any surplus will be used for restoration, repairs, maintenance, and updates that keep the history and significance of the house alive.

No raffles, No sweepstakes, No giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.

_____

Interview with Danaeka Scrimshaw

What type of Curse is your favorite to write about: blaspheme, afflict, imprecate, or torment? Hex or jinx? By spell, object, or charm? 

I like to write about jinx afflictions through objects.

 

Are Curses forever? 

 

I don't think curses are forever. 

 

If you ever had the chance to use a Curse in real life, would you? 

 

I am a witch and would never dabble in black magic. 

 

Do you believe that in order for a Curse to work that the target of that Curse has to believe in it?

 
Not necessarily, but I think they need to be indifferent to curses and not, say, absolutely certain they don't work. 

What swear word is your go-to Curse? 

 
Fuck

Interview with Robert White

 

If you ever had the chance to use a Curse in real life, would you?

One-hundred percent yes. (I provide details of the circumstance below as evidence of a warranted curse.)

In general, I take Marcus Aurelius’ advice not to pay attention to what other people think. In these times, where every fool with a smart phone believes in his or her self-importance, it is difficult and so I find that he bears re-reading. This passage is from his Meditations, Book XI, the translation is, I think, Victorian era and a little archaic: “ . . . when you are highly indignant or actually suffering, that man's life is but a moment, and in a little we are one and all laid low in death.” This too: “how much more grievous are what fits of anger and the consequent sorrows bring than the actual things are which produce in us those angry fits and sorrows.”

Failure to live right, morally speaking, as he says in so many sections makes one “a brigand and a shifty character.” I admit it: I am weak. That woman I describe below needs a curse attached to her.

 

What swear word is your go-to Curse?

“Fuck you!” I used it just today on some nitwit in this backasswards town I call home. I had dropped off my wife’s car at the gas station and was walking the mile home. At one of the busier intersections, I stopped at the crosswalk, waiting. The light just changed to green, giving the cars in the left turning lane the right to go. I watched the car stop. I assumed the driver was being courteous because I obviously had the right of way as a pedestrian. I waved my thanks to the driver. As soon as I reached the opposite side of the street, I saw the male passenger grinning. Then I heard the driver, a woman, yell: “I’ve got the right of way, asshole!” Ergo, my go-to curse. She yelled the same back to me in a shrill voice as she was turning the corner, only proving what I’d already suspected: she was a lowlife piece of trash (and ignorant of traffic laws to boot).

Now, if I could put a curse on her, I would without hesitation. 

 

Anything else that you would like to add about yourself, your story, or books?

My bad mood resulting from that little contretemps at the streetlight this morning notwithstanding, I did have some good news about a pair of unpublished works yesterday I’d despaired of ever seeing print. I wrote Easy Money, a first-person crime novella, and a collection of seven private-eye stories featuring my first series detective Thomas Haftmann six or seven years ago. The publisher who had done the first four Haftmann books sold its “library” to another indie press in New York. I sent emails asking what the status of those books was for years and gave up. Then the email from the publisher arrived—with the book cover and the formatted text. I could not have been more pleased. That, by the way, was like having a curse lifted from my shoulders.
