Halloween Treat: Grandma Eddie’s Caramels
From Celia Breslin

If you like to make things from scratch for Halloween, try my grandmother’s recipe for the best caramels on the planet!

RECIPE:

1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cups white sugar
2 cups white Karo Syrup
1 stick of butter (1/4 lb.)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix together the first three ingredients (milk, sugar, syrup) in a large bowl.
Melt the butter in a large heavy kettle, pour in the mixture and bring to a boil.
Stir continuously while mixture boils until it reaches the temperature of 245 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer (can take up to 25 minutes).

Note: If mixture overcooks, candy gets too hard.

Once the 245-degree temperature is reached, remove kettle from stove.
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then pour mixture onto a large, buttered cookie sheet or flat pan.
Cut to your preferred size.
Wrap with your preferred wrapper. (My grandmother used wax or parchment paper)

While visiting her brother in Los Lobos, free-spirited Lexi Luparell is shocked to encounter the Wolf she’d denied when they were teens. Now she must face her guilt for the cruel way she spurned him all those years ago, make amends, and admit the truth. Jake was right all along—they’re meant to mate.

Lexi would love to explore the mate concept and her overwhelming attraction to virile, alpha Wolf Jake, but he wants nothing to do with her. How can she break down his defenses when she’s the reason he built them in the first place?

Jake dates only human women now. Lexi had her shot at being his mate, and she threw it away. But when her life is threatened, he may have to rethink his position and do whatever it takes to claim his one true mate.

CHAINS OF BLOOD (M. Guida) and BONUS SPOOKTACULAR RECIPE (Chosen Blood Bloody Mary)

 



In the heart of New Orleans, where shadows dance, There lies a tale of forbidden romance. Under the moon's watchful, silver gleam, In the city's dark underbelly, two souls dream.

Angelo Santi, the Angel of Death, With a whisper of danger in every breath. His eyes, dark as midnight, cold as the grave, Yet a flicker of light for the one he’d enslave.

The vampire king with power so grand, Bought her life with a cruel command. 

She, a pawn in his eternal game, A fragile flower in a world of shame.

Bound in chains of blood and fate, She dreams of freedom, it’s almost too late. Her heart, a captive, her soul, a prize, In the labyrinth of his darkened eyes.

New Orleans, where the night is alive, With secrets hidden, and desires that thrive. The French Quarter hums with a haunting song, A melody of love, where they both belong.

The human family, fragile and frail, Navigate a world where their truths pale. In the shadows lurk the wolf mafia's might, Fierce and wild, they prowl the night.

The Unseelie, with their dark, fey lore, Guard secrets that none can ignore. 

Mystical, ancient, and perilously fair, Their power whispers in the night air.

In this city of enchantment, under the night’s veil, Their love story begins, bittersweet and frail. He bought her, owns her, but in his cold heart, She sparks a warmth, a long-lost part.

Angelo Santi, with a soul so torn, In his arms, her new life is born. She stirs the depths of his dark despair, With whispers of love, she answers his prayer.

Through blood and shadows, they find a way, To chase the night and embrace the day. For in her eyes, he sees the dawn, A chance for redemption, a new life to be drawn.

In the maze of mafia's power and pride, Their love becomes a beacon, a secret guide. Angelo Santi, the Angel of Death, Finds solace in her, finds his breath.

In the city's heartbeat, their love unfolds, A story of darkness, beautifully told. For even in shadows, love finds its light, A tale of passion, in the heart of night.

In New Orleans, where legends grow, A love so fierce begins to show. Through trials and terrors, they rise above, In the vampire's world, they find true love.

a Rafflecopter giveaway Feature 2 Chosen Blood Bloody Mary




Chosen Blood Bloody Mary

The Chosen Blood Bloody Mary is a striking cocktail that combines the classic elements of a Bloody Mary with a unique twist, inspired by the world of vampires and New Orleans. The beet juice adds a deeper red color, symbolizing the Chosen Blood, and imparts a slightly sweet, earthy flavor that complements the spicy, savory notes of the drink. The garlic and black pepper-infused vodka adds an extra layer of complexity and a hint of the supernatural.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz vodka (infused with garlic and black pepper)
• 4 oz tomato juice (preferably homemade or high-quality)
• 1 oz fresh beet juice (for a richer, blood-red color and earthy flavor)
• 1/2 oz lemon juice
• 1/2 oz lime juice
• 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 3 dashes hot sauce (like Tabasco)
• 1/4 tsp horseradish
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• Pinch of celery salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• Pinch of sea salt

Garnish:

• Celery stalk with leaves
• Lemon and lime wedges
• Pickled green bean or asparagus
• Stuffed olive
• Mini skewer of cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls
• Fresh basil leaf

Instructions:

1. Infuse Vodka: Prepare the vodka by infusing it with garlic and black pepper. To do this, add 2-3 peeled garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns to a bottle of vodka. Let it sit for at least 24 hours (up to a week for a stronger infusion), then strain the vodka to remove the solids.
2. Prepare the Glass: Rub a lemon or lime wedge around the rim of a tall glass, then dip the rim into a mixture of sea salt and smoked paprika.
3. Mix the Drink: In a shaker or mixing glass, combine the infused vodka, tomato juice, beet juice, lemon juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, smoked paprika, celery salt, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir well to combine.
4. Fill the Glass: Fill the prepared glass with ice cubes, then pour the Bloody Mary mixture over the ice.
5. Garnish: Garnish with a celery stalk, lemon and lime wedges, pickled green bean or asparagus, stuffed olive, and a mini skewer of cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls. Add a fresh basil leaf for a fragrant touch.
6. Serve: Serve immediately, stirring slightly to keep the flavors well mixed.

INTERVIEW WITH KIT KARLSSON (Wanderer of the Wastes)

 
Today we welcome Kit Karlsson back to the page. Welcome Kit!

Supernatural Central Short and Quick Interview


  1. Tell me a little bit about your main character of this book.

Kol Mendona was a fascinating character to write. My first draft of the book was YA, so I had him as a 13- or 14-year-old kid, totally bewildered by the magical world outside the dismal, post-apocalyptic bunker he’d spent his whole life in. But when I decided to add more romance to the story and aged him up, I wanted to keep some of that naivete and childlike wonder, so readers could still experience this fantastical world through his eyes.

But at the same time, Kol is a serious guy. He’s survived on limited resources, and he’s watched multiple family members get sent out into the wastes to die. His father is a tyrant and brute who wasn’t so different from Kol at one point. It was tricky to balance his sense of awe with the darker, more serious sides of his personality and the plot.

  1. Do you believe in the paranormal and if so, do you have an experience you can share?

Ooh—I’ve had so many experiences, but I’ll share some from my time staying at my grandparents’ house during the COVID-19 lockdown.


For some context, my mother’s family has claimed psychic abilities for generations. My grandmother had a vision the moment her husband was bitten by a rattlesnake. My aunt is a private investigator who can “smell death” and finds unmarked graves for the police, and my mother once had her life saved by a mysterious white dog she swears was an angel... You get the picture. I’m not joking—it’s strange.


When COVID-19 hit, I moved in with my grandparents to help out with things like ordering groceries. I stayed in their second-floor guest bedroom, the same room I’d slept in as a kid. It wasn’t a big space, most of it taken up by an antique wooden tester bed, centered on the wall to the right as you walked in. There was just enough room to walk around the bed.


I stayed up late writing, often finding myself awake all night. Almost every night, just after 3:00 a.m., I’d hear a sound like something being dragged across the carpet. At first, I put on my headphones and tried to ignore it, hoping it was just the wind or something. But after a week, I decided to listen more closely.


One night, I didn’t play any music. I just listened to the sounds around me—crickets, cicadas, and that dragging noise. As I focused, it seemed to come from the hallway, pass through the closed bedroom door, then take a left. The sound moved around the side of the bed, down to the foot, and then up the other side—until it stopped right next to me. It was weird, but I didn’t feel threatened, so I didn’t mention it to my grandparents.


The next night, I fell asleep early and had two episodes of sleep paralysis. Both times, I woke up unable to move, aware of a featureless figure sitting on the bed next to me, stroking my hair. The dragging sounds hadn’t scared me before, but the sleep paralysis definitely did. The figure sat exactly where the dragging sound had stopped, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that they were connected.


When I told my grandmother about the sleep paralysis and the dragging noise, she wasn’t surprised—but she didn’t explain much, either. She just said I should ask it not to scare me, and that if I told it to leave, it would. I figured I’d give it a try.


The next night, around 3:10 a.m., I heard the dragging again. It started in the hallway, passed through the door, and began moving around the bed. When it reached the foot of the bed, I said, “I don’t have a problem with ghosts, but could you please try not to scare me?”


The dragging stopped. Then, I heard it reverse direction. It retraced its steps and left the room through the door.


After that, I still heard the dragging most nights, but I never had sleep paralysis again. I don’t know what that entity was, or if the lockdown had just made me a little crazy, but I do know that my relatives have continued to experience strange things in that house.


  1. What titles are you working on now that you can tell us about?

I have five books in the works—three are in the editing stage, and two are still being drafted. A couple of years ago, I wrote The Girl with the Golden Eyes, set in the same world as Wanderer of the Wastes, but it still needs some editing. I’m also editing a fantasy legal comedy with the working title The Dragon Lawyer, and at some point, I’ll get around to editing All the Dreaming Worlds, a science-fantasy novel I co-wrote.


On the drafting side, I’ve been slowly working on a book called Children of Crows, about a non-human necromancer struggling to connect with her latest creation. If Wanderer of the Wastes performs well, I’ve partially drafted a sequel titled Seeker of the Seas and hope to publish it. This book will expand the world and provide historical context on what happened to the humans in Wanderer.


I also have a trilogy in the same world but set about 2,000 years after Wanderer of the Wastes. The books are The Beast of Alon, The Mother of Demons, and The Prince of Fire. However, they were the first books I ever wrote, so for now, they’re shelved, and I’m unsure if they’ll ever see the light of day.



Wanderer of the Wastes
Kit Karlsson

Genre: Fantasy Romance
Publisher: Lake Country Press
Date of Publication: October 29, 2024
Number of pages: roughly 300
Word Count: 97,700
Cover Artist: Fay Lane

Tagline: In a world where magic can save or shatter, Kol Mendona must survive lethal secrets—and an even deadlier love—as he discovers he might not be as human as he believed…

Book Description:

Kol Mendona, one of the last humans on the magical continent of Alon, is desperate to escape his dying underground compound. When Alessi, a fierce dragon slayer with silver eyes, arrives, Kol sees a way out.  As they journey together through the deadly wastes, an unexpected bond forms between them – one fueled by passion and dangerous magic. 
 
But as Kol’s strange new powers awaken, their bond becomes increasingly unstable. Something within him is changing in ways he doesn’t fully understand, and if Alessi ever discovers the truth, Kol may lose more than her affections…


Excerpt 2:
 “So, do you work?” Kol wiped his nose, feeling sand grate against his skin.
“Do princesses… need to work?”
 “Usually, but now I’m a freelancer.” Alessi felt at her hair, tragic and frayed.
 “You’re unemployed, you mean?” Kol asked.
 “If you must know, I am ‘available for hire’.” She threw her head back.
“But money’s money, and business is business.” She had a severe look on her face. “That’s how things are in the witch kingdom.”


About the Author:
 
Kit enjoyed writing as a child and rediscovered her passion during the COVID-19 lockdown. She has a degree in finance from Southern Methodist University and recently graduated from Georgetown University Law Center, where she was the administrative editor of an academic publication. When she’s not writing, you can find her running barefoot, taming stray cats, or listening to paranormal podcasts.

SPOOKTACULAR FEATURE: A PROHPECY AWAKENED by ANGIE BARTON with bonus poem

 



The Velvet Coffin

Black are his eyes,
His lips stained red,
This sinister creature 
We know as undead

Born of the night
A soul without mercy 
An evil incarnate
Immortal and thirsty

He dreams of blood,
His fangs sharp and baring,
His desire awakens 
As he lays there staring

The lid to his coffin
Creaks as it raises
Its velvety lining
His hand lightly grazes

Moving to the shadows
He expels a hiss
He catches her scent 
And disappears into mist

Tagline: The time has come for the two worlds to collide the prophecy has spoken.

Book Description: 

Family. Destiny. Magic. Lore.

Forced to leave behind her only known family, on the night of her eighteenth birthday Charlotte Delgado flees through the invisible veil that has granted her safety since birth, with only an age-old diary to guide her. Given less than a day to read the four-hundred year-old tales scripted amongst its pages, she barely understands the predetermined path her ancestor writes of, let alone believes it.

However, despite the dangers the journal warns of—supernatural creatures that will hunt her along her journey—it’s the ominous twist of fate that surrounds the last bloodline witch in her family that fills Charlotte with the most fear.

Is she that witch or merely a pawn moving the prophecy forward?
