Halloween Bash: Day 5 AM with Author Eliza Gayle

Thank you, JoJo for having me on your blog today. Halloween is absolutely one of my favorite holidays, if not my favorite. Some years I go all out and decorate inside and out and others it might be a little more subdued but we still do something special.

We’ve decorated our house many times into a complete bat cave, green glowing lights included. There is always a full graveyard out front and one of us always has a party. From full on adult costume parties that the neighborhood is invited to complete with my infamous Dead Drunk Cake and Froggy Swamp Punch to the kids costume parties where I gross them out with my disgusting (but surprisingly delicious) Kitty Litter Cake.

This year my daughter and I kicked off the season with homemade Halloween bottle cap necklaces to include zombie pin ups, zombie cupcakes, vampire cupcakes, pumpkins and TrueBlood.  *clears throat* be here on Sunday *wink wink*

Last weekend I had the girls over for Practical Magic movie night (LOVE that movie) where we had

Midnight Margaritas, bubbling cauldrons, yummy snacks and goodie

bags that looked like witches brooms.

We also visited the corn maze at night for the extra fun and creepiness of finding our way through a fun challenge by the light of a full moon and a few flashlights. I have to say I enjoyed that a lot.

This weekend one of my daughters will be having friends over for her movie night with pizza and Halloween cookie cake made by a dear friend. Then on Sunday she’ll don her homemade vampire bride costume that she put together on her own from a wedding dress we found at a thrift store.

If all of that wasn’t enough I also run an annual Halloween blog event called The DAMM blog where authors, bloggers and readers all come together to discuss their Halloween best and dole out lots and lots of prizes.

Somehow I even managed to time my first wolf shifter book, Black Moon Rising for this month. I got really lucky on that one. Here’s the blurb to tease you.

Black Moon Rising

One man claims her by blood, the other by possession. One wants revenge.

At the rise of the Black Moon, Sierra is to be named the new Alpha of her pack. But first, she must take a wolf mate before she can claim the position. Problem is, she’s in love with two men, one of whom is strictly forbidden. Willing to live a lie, she publicly acknowledges one and keeps the other her dirty little secret.

Nolan and Marek understand Sierra’s needs. Nothing gives them more pleasure than to make her burn, body and soul. Until the pack is attacked and a temperamental stranger from the past threatens to send them spiraling apart. Now she must choose between love and duty, a decision with fatal consequences. Whoever said you could be Alpha without making the hard choices…lied.

Happy Halloween

Here is Mine:

Poem – Werewolf

He feels the pain of flaming skin

The rage that bursts out from within

The rage that courses through his Eyes

Through which he channels all his pain

The Fur, released from ancient bonds

Tastes the Hat for which he longs

Friends, family, they all mean naught

This life is new, with danger fraught

Gaia, the Earth Mother, blesses them all

In return they answer her call

A call to brain, defeat the Wyrm

To succeed there is much to learn

Control the Love, harness the rage

The ancient force, the curse of ages

So now he Walks the rage within

This rage, once bidden, beneath his Lips.

*Eliza will be stopping by through out the day to chat.

So say Hi
