Curses - Haunted By Them - Or Thrilled?

Labor Day is over, school is back in session, and another autumn is upon us. The cooler fall evenings get me in the mood to cuddle up with a good horror book, or watch one of the old detective or monster films.

That's right - I am that person. I love the autumn, love Halloween, and love a good scary story.

That's the reason my first novel BREAKING CURSED BONDS was released for this fall. Usually it is better to wait until January and avoid being plunged in with the fall glutton of new books on the market, but I really think my story belongs in the darker days of autumn.

The main story begins with an ancient book that tells the tale of how an ancient curse befell the De Gourgues family - back in 1565! A spiritual ceremony went wrong when an evil element was added to the mix. A curse was created - causing a history of deadly consequences.

If you like the subject of curses and the spiritual realm, then you may like an interesting website The Mystica I discovered. There is a post explaining curses which listed some of the history about how possession, voodoo mystical spells and the paranormal magic and how
they were used in different cultures. Of course there is a lot more out there for those who dare dabble with the supernatural.

Soon Halloween will be upon us, and we will watch our thrillers and read about witches and spells - but be warned, there are many out there who believe in supernatural with all the revelry. So be careful and always keep an open mind.
