A shadow slid across the cave wall #MidWeekTease Halloween #ASMSG

Happy Wednesday and welcome to Mid-Week Tease hosted by the lovely Sandra Bunino where authors share excerpts from their work-in-progress or published book.

This week we have a Halloween themed MWT and the teasers are about things that go bump in the night. I'm happy to bring you a teaser from Black Soul, Black Warriors series: Prequel.

In this scene, Tara is on a sightseeing trip down some caves. But she's about to get more than she read in the tourist brochures. Enjoy

Deep into the vaults, they walked past ghoulish models made from wax. Most of them drew little of her attention until she saw the wax figure of a man dressed in a red headpiece, sash across a grey shirt, leather boots and dreadlocks. She paused in front of it, admiring how life-like it appeared.

A sudden brisk breeze chilled the air. She rubbed her arms and pulled her jacket tight around her body. Glancing around, she realized she'd been left behind by the group. The voice of the tour guide sounded faint and distant. She picked up her pace in that direction, not wanting to lose her way in the dark, narrow caverns.

A shadow slid across the jagged cave wall, catching her peripheral vision. Shoulders bunched, she swiveled but found nothing. The hair on her nape and arms lifted. Spooked as she no longer heard the group, she quickened her steps. She turned the corner and bumped into someone who grabbed her arms.

Jerking back, she gasped, her breath bursting her lungs as fear spiked through her body. She looked up and stared into the face of the man in the pirate outfit she'd seen in the cavern earlier.

Wicked After Dark BlogFest

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Wicked After Dark Blog Hop Giveaway hosted by Close Encounters with The Night Kind and Natasha Blackthorne.

For this event, I'm giving away the complete series of The Blood Bar Chronicles, a sensual paranormal romance collaboration between authors at The Nuthouse Scribblers and published by Breathless Press. 


This giveaway is open internationally and for adults only.

What is coming soon?

Hello everyone. I hope you had a fabulous weekend.

It's been a busy couple of months. First, was the rush to complete a Christmas story I started writing recently. It's a contemporary romance set in Brass Island, Nigeria. The original title was His Christmas Wish but I've changed it to Island Bound, since the location became an integral part of the story. Some stories run away with you. This was one of those. There were times when I thought the emotions between the two main characters would explode my laptop. You can read an excerpt from the story here.

The Healer’s Warrior WIP excerpt

In honour of All Hallows Eve, I’m sharing an excerpt from my paranormal romance work-in-progress titled The Healer’s Warrior. This story is part of a paranormal series I hope will be published next year. It is set in medieval Iboland. Whilst I've based the story on certain Igbo mythologies and traditions, it is wholly a work of fiction and fantasy.

The story so far: Ugo is a young woman who has been ostracised by her community. She is an outcast living with her paternal grandmother on the edge of society. She is also gifted with healing powers. One day she finds a strange injured warrior, Ebube, in the dark forest. She patches him up temporarily and takes him home. That night she dreams a demon is going to attack Ebube. She wakes from her dream and tells her grandmother and Ebube. They both urge her not to worry, so she returns to sleep only to be woken later by her grandmother.
