Still need your scares? You can download or listen to all 12 episodes (plus a few bonuses) forever at my website here and on the Paranormal, Eh? website here: theparanormalehradionetwork.wordpress.com

Catch a Creepy Crime Story in time for Halloween!
Occasionally I narrate stories for the Tales to Terrify, Crime City Central, and related podcasts; I’ve only done a couple over the past year, and I wish I had the time and energy to do more, because I do enjoy it. My most recent one, Ann Littlewood’s “Scales Justice,” appears on Crime City Central No. 5…put a little crime and creep in your Halloween—but only if you’re not shy around snakes! Listen here.
Writers: What terrifies you?
With Halloween—and more importantly, NaNoWriMo coming—I thought it might be fun to ask a fellow writer what scares her about writing. Below, Gail Z. Martin, epic fantasy writer, shares “The Long and the Short of It.” And if you’re an epic fantasy lover, check out some of the stuff she’s offering after her bio. There are adventures there you probably won’t want to miss. Enjoy!

Have you always wanted to write a novel?
We know some of you have been waiting all year for this month! For those of you who are new to this project, here’s the gist:
