Friday's Top Ten

Today we have a Guest Top Tenner!

Please welcome Lynn Cahoon to the Tiki Hut. Since it's Friday, and since Lynn does such a great job of telling you about herself, I'm just gonna go to the patio and chill :)

Play nice!

Things that go bump in the night –

I have to admit, I love the paranormal. I started my monster reading with Grimm’s Fairy Tales (the non-Disney version). In high school I was introduced to Tolkien’s world and hobbits, elves, and dwarfs. As a young mother, I read Stephen King, leaning on stories where good trumps evil. Give me a good ghost story or haunted house, and I’m in heaven.

So, it probably didn’t surprise anyone when I started writing about a witch who didn’t know she had power and her imaginary childhood friend who turned out to be a fairy. I love the possibilities of what lies beneath our awareness. So, The Council series was born.

But, you’re here for a Friday top ten. And here we go – Famous Hauntings-in tale and song.

10. Chicago’s Resurrection Mary – the ghostly hitchhiker

  9. Laurie/Strange Things by Dickey Lee – sad, scary 60’s ballad about the girl at the dance.

  8. Supernatural – the television show – scary and hot guys. Great combo.

  7. Harry Potter – not scary but filled with witches and warlocks.

  6. The Craft – teenage angst combined with magic

  5. Practical Magic – who wouldn’t want these aunties?

  4. The Exorcist – Rumor has it that the actual exorcism happened here in St. Louis.

  3. The Amityville Horror - Loved the movie.

  2. Ghost Story – Peter Straub. I can’t even pick up that book without being scared.

And - My favorite ghost story? My own. 

I was dating someone who lived in a house where the prior owner had committed suicide. At work, I saw a person (thought it was one of the guys, trying to scare me) sitting on the coke machine. I went to yell at him, no one was there. When I slept over at the house, I saw a woman, sitting on the window seat. Again, no one when I turned my head.

I know I saw something. And that’s the part of the other world that bothers me the most. I know it’s out there.

And now, so does Parris in RETURN OF THE FAE.

A witch in training, a hunter on the prowl, and a world in jeopardy.

Learning the rules of being a witch takes years, but Parris McCall needs to master them in only weeks. Ty Wallace is going mad with his desire for Parris, but she’s a distraction in his quest to find Coven X before they take The Council and everyone he knows down.

The couple searches for Ty’s mentor, but he’s disappeared. Their only clue comes from a banished witch. When they return, not only are their own lives threatened, but a new life hangs in the balance.
