Good morning! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. I missed posting the newsletter last week, so this one has links to the many great guests who have stopped by this blog and the Compelling Beasts Blog over the past two weeks.
If you’ve seen the indie movie Tales of Dracula, you’ll recognize the guests today at the Compelling Beasts Blog. I’ve posted an interview Joe DeMuro and Thomas Edward Rice. Stop by to read the interview and find out more about Tales of Dracula.
Also for the Compelling Beasts Blog, if you haven’t cast your vote, please take a moment to let me know what topic you would like for the next highlight week.
Do you prefer werewolves or aquatic creatures?

Excerpt of the Week:
St. Augustine’s Silhouettes
by Kate Hill
At the sound of rustling in the trees, she spun, squinting in the dimness. A cloaked figure crouched in the shadows of wild shrubs. Stifling a scream, she threw her skirts over her arm and raced toward the town square. Terrified of stopping, she didn’t pause to glance over her shoulder, though she heard heavy footsteps and the rasp of another’s breath close behind her. Hoof beats sounded in the distance. Katherine imagined the killer’s accomplice galloping toward her on a dark, fiery-eyed steed, ready to carry her body deep into the woods. She tried to leap across a narrow brook, but her boot slipped on the wet rocks. Screaming, she crashed into the muddy water, fully expecting her stalker to fall upon her.
The horse shrieked and its cloaked rider leapt off its back before it came to a complete stop. Hands covered in black gloves reached for her. She slashed at them with the scissors. Her attacker caught her wrist before the scissors struck home. The hood fell from dark hair streaked auburn in the moonlight. Dark eyes flashed at her from beneath arched brows. Katherine gasped. Alister St. Augustine’s fine lips narrowed into a grim line. His face looked ghostly against the darkness of his cloak.
“Be still,” he ordered, squeezing her wrist in his steely grip until she dropped the scissors. “Who was chasing you?”
“I don’t know. You just lost my best cutting shears in the bottom of this brook!”
“Sorry, but I don’t take kindly to nearly being stabbed.”
“If you didn’t frighten a helpless woman walking alone on a dark night, then you’d be in no danger of that.”
“I would hardly call you helpless.” He stood and offered her his hand.
