Shara Lanel
What’s your favorite autumn treat?
Pumpkin pie.
Do you celebrate Halloween? If you do, what are some of your favorite traditions or activities?
My friends come over and we eat goodies and watch old horror movies.
What’s the sexiest paranormal creature?
I’m quite partial to werewolves, like Alcide from True Blood.
If the hero or heroine in your latest novel was thrust into a classic horror story, which one would it be and why?
The Haunting–I think she’d pick up the psychic vibrations and know what was real or fake.
Shara is the author of A Twisted Magick.
Purchase Link: Ellora’s Cave
Blurb:
Shylah, a small-town teacher, has put her arcane history behind her, until two students are murdered occult style. Her Wiccan religion is outed. She loses her job and deals daily with ridicule. The obvious thing would be to leave town, but she refuses–she’s innocent.
Gabriel is a PI from California dealing with his aunt’s cold shoulder. She wants him to fly to Virginia to solve his cousin’s murder, but he doesn’t have the money or the time until he breaks a big case he’s been working on. Now his cousin’s case is three months cold with one hot witchy suspect and no proof. As soon as he sees Shylah, he wants her, for a lot more than just questioning.
Gabe has the power to make Shylah’s insides melt and her judgment fade. She knows he can bring her down if he discovers the twisted magick of her past, but every time he touches her, she can’t say no. She needs to get him to see past prejudice and help her find the real killer. Together, they make magic in more ways than one.
Read an excerpt from A Twisted Magick at Shara’s feature at the Haunted Library.
About Shara:
Shara Lanel’s novels are always full of suspense and hot romance, whether set on the moon or in a Mexican jungle. She resides in Richmond, VA with a clingy dog, an action-oriented son, and a handsome hubby. Don’t put her in the kitchen, unless you want to burn it down, and her green-thumb is hit-or-miss, but she excels as a bibliophile, hoping she never has to pack up and move, since her hubby might see just how many volumes she really has.
23 days until Halloween!

That was a great excerpt, now I am left wondering about the prediction and who is going to die.
I also am a pumpkin pie fan, but my husband isn’t, don’t get to enjoy it as much.
Great posts. I love Halloween.
Cool interview Shara, I’m an Alcide fan too (hawt ,hairy & yummy).
A Twisted Magic looks like an awesome read, will it be part of a series?
