3 Wicked-Hot Halloween Tidbits
by Titania Ladley
With the release of our Wicked Hot Reads box set full of
Halloweeny paranormal romance stories by ten fabulous authors, including New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon best sellers, we’d all like to pose the three
following must-know questions to our readers:
1) What's the most
unique/scary/fave/cool Halloween costume you've ever seen or worn?
2) What's your favorite and least favorite Halloween candy?
3) What's your favorite paranormal creature to write or read about?
To get the pumpkin rolling, the ten of
us will answer our own questions. Then it’s your turn! J
Jessie
Donovan - author of Blaze of Secrets featuring the Feiru, elemental magic creatures.
1) My mother was a
master seamstress and one year she made me the Belle costume (the big ballroom
dress) from Beauty and the Beast (in blue instead of yellow) and it was
gorgeous! Too bad my cats at the time destroyed it shortly after I wore it.
2) I don't like candy very much, but if I had to
choose, then either Twix or Almond Joy for my favorite, and Good & Plenty
as my least favorite.
3) Definitely dragon-shifters.
AC James
- author of Fallen
Ever After featuring mystical faeries and hot vampires.
1) When I was
pregnant, I went to a Halloween costume party as Mother Earth. I stole a fall
wreath from my mother-in-law, wore a brown hippie skirt with a tie-dye bikini
top, and my girlfriend drew the earth on my belly in blue and green costume
makeup.
2) Bubblegum.
3) I'd have to say that I've been a fan of vampire
romance since I was a teenager. Both reading it and writing it.
Jan Springer
- author of Bared
to Him presenting “talented” tentacle
shapeshifters. ;)
1) One time I saw
this guy (or it could have been a girl) who was dressed up like a zombie that
looked right out of the tv series the Walking
Dead. It freaking scared me and grabbed my imagination to the point where
that night I dreamed about waking up in a world full of zombies. *shiver*
2) Luv caramels! Don’t have a least fav... Love all
Halloween candy. lol
3) Tentacle Shifters! Woot!
Shoshanna Evers
- author of Beauty
and the Beast (an erotic re-imagining) spotlighting an
enchanting beast.
1) My favorite (and
scariest!) Halloween costume was when my husband and I (before we were married)
dressed up as a zombie-couple. I did our makeup, with rubber wounds and gashes
and dead-looking skin, and we wore dirt-smudged old clothing, as if we'd
climbed out of the graveyard that night. We looked pretty gruesome!
2) Favorite: I love candy corn, the kind with brown
on it along with the orange and yellow! They taste different from the pure
orange and yellow kind, not sure why! Least
favorite: those fake candy eyeballs! They are too gross-looking to eat.
3) Writing the Beast from Beauty and the Beast (an erotic re-imagining) was absolutely
awesome. I had to make him huge, terrifying, but also sexy, and kind. It was a
fun challenge!
Titania Ladley
- author of Mark of the Serapath
featuring a bewitching witch and a sexy vampire.
1) A unique couple’s costume
I saw at a huge Halloween street bash was one where the woman was dressed as a
giant electrical socket and the man as an electrical cord with the prongs.
They, um, “fit” together very well.
2) My favorite
Halloween candy is candy corn. My least favorite is those icky taffy squares
wrapped in white wax paper.
3) I love writing witch
and wizard characters. All the magic is so fun!
Cathryn Fox
- author of Knocking
on Demon's Door including irresistible demons.
1) My husband and
Kids and I all dressed as tie-dyed hippies and it went to a school Halloween
dance. It was great fun.
2) Least fav candy is
Tootsie roll. Fav candy is anything chocolate.
3) Favorite
paranormal creature: werewolves.
Lisa
Hughey - author of Archangel Rafe presenting gorgeous angels.
1) Costume...a few
years ago I was a twister board. It was a really fun costume..
2) Fav candy is
Reese's PB cups.
3) My favorite
paranoramal creature is Archangels. J
Mina Carter
- author of Dragon’s
Honor featuring breathtaking dragons.
1) I'm in the UK so
we don't really 'do' halloween :S I did see a great zombie costume a kid was
wearing the other year. It was a zombie onesie complete with a shredded guts
breastplate.
2) Chocolate is my favourite, I'm not too fond of
boiled sweets.
3) Shifters, probably. Of any description. J
Milly Taiden
- author of A
Mate's Bite showcasing Milly’s awesome werewolves.
1) All of them. I'm a
big Halloween fan.
2) Favorite all the chocolates. Least fave candy
korn.
3) Wolves.
Sarah
Mäkelä – author of The Wolf Who Played With Fire presenting a sexy wolf and a sweet
witch.
1) I was Catwoman one year as a kid
with the whip and everything. It was a blast.
2) I love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I dislike anything with chunky peanuts.
3) Werewolves! <3
