A Jane Austen ghost story: Now with extra seances!

I love Mrs. Bennet. Maybe it's that she's also the mother of five daughters or that she continually fears that they'll be murdered in their beds (no wonder I sleepwalk due to stress), but that silly woman made me smile all through Pride and Prejudice so I had to put her through a little hell in the story I released today as a Kindle Single, de Bourgh's Revenge: The Haunting of Longbourn. 

Charlotte Collins, is a bit of a caution herself. With Mrs. Bennet worried about the shade of Lady Cathering de Bourgh in her gardens, how could she not help get to the bottom of it? Now to get around Mr. Collins and his "friend" medium Madame LuPina.

Zombie Tarot: Broken Heart Spread

Valentine's Day isn't for the faint-hearted. Between the bad poetry, flowers, and beggin' for lovin', you're lucky if you can score a kiss from your sugar between picking up the kids and karate practice. For those of us nursing a broken heart, however, the Zombie Tarot may help zero in on what's staggering around the bend or patch together what's left of last week's meal date. 


Broken Heart spread (from the Zombie Tarot):

If you're nursing the pain of a broken heart, take comfort in knowing that things could be worse -- at least you still have a heart. Use this spread to gauge your chances of restoring a troubled relationship.

The good, the bad, and the ugly: First dates

Dating can suck rocks. When Monster Supplies asked me via the Zombie Dating Guide on Twitter if I had any terrible Valentine's Day stories, I had flashbacks to college and the special hell many of us went through. Come to think of it, that's probably why I wrote ZDG in the first place. 


Worst date #1: The boy brought his best friend then asked me to pay for dinner (for three) and a movie (for three). I snuck out the door during dinner and walked home. 

Worst date #2: I was dating a karate champion whose first language was not English. He showed me some of his moves, pinched my boob, then winked when I threw him out of the house. I don't think he understood the term "Imma punch you in the nunchucks if you do that again."
