My lovelies, let me wish you a Happy Halloween! I love candy, so this is a good day. đ [Actually I’ve never been big on Halloween and haven’t dressed up since well before elementary school was over… but I enjoy the festivities.] More to the point, I’m thrilled to welcome Sarah Morgan to ALBTALBS today! <3 She’s a fantastic author, and I’m crushed I didn’t get to meet her this past summer. She had a new book release just this past Tuesday (Sleigh Bells in the Snow), so I’m tickled we get her so close to the big deay. đ
She and other authors are also very tricksies, getting around my interview rule by interviewing themselves. đ And here are hers.
Biggest fashion mistake?
I once went to a fancy dress party dressed as a tiger. The theme was âwildâ and I wore a tight stripy leotard, theatrical cat mask, face paint and whiskers. I travelled on the London underground. Ever been on the London underground? Itâs like the New York subway. A tiger stands out. And a commuter sat on my tail.
Something you said and wish you hadnât?
Yes of course I can write the book by next week.
Favorite Halloween film?
Harry Potter.
Which book of on your shelf is in the worst condition?
Northern Lights by Nora Roberts. I love that book. I love stories set in cold, snowy places and her characters are always real and interesting. My copy is almost falling apart.
Secret addiction?
Henry Cavill and peanut butter. But not together. Well, maybe togetherâŠ
Secret Talent (I’d like to hear that … youtube video, perhaps? *angelface*)
I sing Soft Kitty beautifully.
If you werenât you, who would you like to be?
Iron man (or girl). That would be so cool. No airport queues.
What are you really bad at?
Keeping quiet.
What will you be doing on Halloween?
Trying to finish my next Cosmo Red Hot Read. Thereâs not a GHOST of a chance that will happen. And Iâd eat the Halloween chocolate if I hadnât already eaten it.
Hee! That’s her “Halloween Themed” one. Sarah was such a great sport, she re-wrote her post when I mentioned she’d be guesting on this spooky day. She also had one more book themed, considering the title is Sleigh Bells in the Snow, the following are some of her her original questions that I definitely think should be shared as well.
A film youâd have to be paid to watch again?
Disneyâs Up. I think it should have been called Down. Visually itâs pretty but I found it miserable viewing. And now Iâm going to get a million comments telling me why Iâm wrong.
Best Christmas gift ever?
A diamond ring. I had a very romantic proposal!
Worst Christmas gift?
Flu. Thanks a lot.
Now back to today: Sarah is offering one lucky commenter a copy of her newest book Sleigh Bells in the Snow! Whee!
Once upon a time, Christmas was Kayla Green’s favorite time of year. Now all the workaholic wants for Christmas is for it to be overâas fast as possible! So when duty calls her to snowy Vermont to close a deal with a new client, Kayla is grateful for an excuse to avoid the holidays for another year.
Jackson O’Neil left a thriving business behind to return home and salvage his family’s resortâit’s in his blood, and he can’t let it fail. Now that he’s got marketing whiz Kayla Green working with him to put Snow Crystal on the map, success is on the horizon. The fact they strike enough sparks off each other to power all the Christmas lights in Vermont is just an added bonus.
Kayla might be an expert at her job, but she’s out of her depth with Jacksonâhe makes her crave the happy-ever-after she once dreamed of, and it’s terrifying. As the snowflakes continue to swirl, will the woman who doesn’t believe in the magic of Christmas finally fall under its spell?
Sounds good yes? To throw your hat in the ring, just answer this question: Sarah wants to know “What is your favorite Halloween food?” (Sarah’s is tomato soup!). So tell us your favorite Halloween food – and candy – and offer a warm welcome to Sarah please! (And congratulations on your newest release!)
Oh and?! All the other books by Sarah I’ve included in this post are only $1.99 for kindle right now! So snatch those babies up!
