Sound Sample Saturday – Forever Festive Chapter 3 and an Apology

/ akrummenacker / Leave a comment

Allergy season came early and with a fury to Santa Cruz California this year and a lot of people have been suffering, including us. I wound up with a lung infection from all the congestion, which has slowed down my productivity. Allan has been dealing with nerve pain and trying to take care of me, so we wound up missing posting the last two weeks. But we’re back, progress is happening on book 5 “Forever Chosen” and Allan has gotten to work on the book cover for the anthology “W. I. T. C. H. Hunters Forever” which I hope to release just in time for summer reading. 

Chapter  3 – “Parental Warning”

NEXT WEEK: Chapter 4 “Background Details”

Collection being planned

/ akrummenacker / Leave a comment

Allan and I love volumes that collect multiple books of a series, as it takes up less space in a book shelf. Therefore I planned to turn the first 4 novels into a volume, rather than the usual three at a time, to play off for/four with 4ever Begins. Conveniently it will have all that takes place in 1947, as Forever Chosen is set in February 1948. One of the hardest parts is deciding on the cover– I’m thinking of showcasing the comedy aspect a bit. What would you like to see for the cover? 

Please leave your thoughts and suggestions in the “Comments” section below. Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Sound Sample Saturday – Forever Festive Chapter 1

Yes, we know we ran this chapter back in December, but we only took the story so far. Plus, it was 3 months ago. So we’ll be repeating those same 4 chapters over again so you can be reminded what was going on. Then we’ll be running several more chapters that you haven’t heard yet. So please sit back and enjoy. Besides, a good performance is always worthy of an encore.  

Chapter 1 – “Harold T Angel”

The smell of blood… and many other things

/ akrummenacker / Leave a comment

 Lately I’ve had a bit of an interest in perfumes with cool names… but just a bit of an interest because I find a lot of commercial scents don’t really work with my asthma and migraines. 

But I’ve always been good with essential oils, so I looked up how to make your own perfume base and it’s super easy. The smell of blood, mentioned above, is actually rust and I’m going to experiment to see how to extract rust’s scent. 

I’m going to run a few experiments to get the perfect scents, but when I do, I may make extra and offer perfumes like Vampire Detective and Definitely Not Covert Ops. There won’t be a Rasputin scent, though.

Sound Sample Saturday – Chapter 6 Obtaining Evidence

/ akrummenacker / Leave a comment

Rafael is on the hunt for the killer, but as he has learned so many times before, trying to find one isn’t all that easy. You have to talk to people, sometimes a lot of them, and along the way you get reminders that everyone has their own demons they’ve been fighting, and not all of them are supernatural…

After a little ‘incident’ at the racetrack, Rafael and Medium Brown find themselves back at a police station but not as guests of the coroner. Not that they have much to worry about, since she is still in their corner and is not afraid to speak her mind on how things shouldn’t be…
