Hold on to your seats!
Halloween will never be the same!

Caitlin Montgomery just purchased the old Clabo Victorian homestead located right on the shoreline of Lake Champlain in the Village of Rouses Point, New York. Not immune to tales of the Champlain serpent, Champy, and other eerie legends, the Village of Rouses Point is about to lay claim to a couple of new paranormal residents!

With it's three stories, an attic, and cellar, plus the turrets on each front corner, Caitlin is anxious to setup housekeeping and settle in for the coming winter. She'd fallen in love with the character exuded by the old home. However, little did Caitlin know the interior of the house had its own set of characters.

When Caitlin settles down to some quiet time in the parlor with her long-term boyfriend, Wesley, strange things begin to occur. Wesley had objected to the purchase, saying the house wasn't worth the cost of remodeling. So, when he can't make a move on Caitlin without lights flickering or strange noises, he leaves.

Caitlin's first encounter with Niles - the goblin - sends them both screaming in opposite directions.

THE GOBLIN, THE WITCH, AND THE SINGLE GIRL is a delightful Halloween tale full of romance, humor, and a touch of fright. Release date TBA.

Now that the contract is signed and my full manuscript has to be in my editor's hands by Saturday, Sept. 9th, I think I've got the cover designed that I want for the first novel, The Learning Curve. What do you think?

Reviews from Euro-Reviews & Fallen Angel Reviews Are In!

Seems my ebook is holding pretty steady with a 4 rating. Not bad! I'm just so happy with this! I didn't even know there was a review until I "Googled" myself!

Euro-Reviews has posted a review for Beyond the Maze and rated it a 4 out of a possible 5.

Beyond the Maze is a beautiful and romantic story with an attractive cover. The story is filled with romance when a young woman somehow unwillingly takes a jump back in time. There she meets the man of her dreams, only it takes her some time to realize. Canice Brown-Porter has written a short story that will be loved by the romantic souls among us, but of course also by others.

Fallen Angel Reviews (FAR) has posted their review of Beyond the Maze, as well, also giving it 4 angels out of a possible 5 angels:

2006 – Aubrianna Sheffield is enjoying a peaceful time in the garden maze of her manor when she encounters a mysterious pair of old-fashioned keys. Suddenly, the sky is dark and a misty fog arises. While trying to get back to the house, she runs into a man, literally. This isn’t just any man, either; he claims to be the lord of the manor, her manor. And he thinks she’s crazy, which does not bode well for their relationship.

1857 – Lord Keane Hamilton Chadwick IV is perplexed and more than a little aroused. This brazen woman he’s found wandering in his gardens is quite unlike any other woman he’s even known. She challenges him and is utterly uncowed by his commanding presence, but worse yet, she inflames him almost beyond reason. Could she be telling the truth or is she just insane?

Beyond the Maze is a tale of the power of passion being stronger than the winds of time. In only twenty pages, Canice Brown-Porter manages to convey a bundle of emotion and creates trust between her characters. While a longer length certainly would have added more depth to this story, I was moved at the capacity for love that her characters showed in this brief, but very engaging tale. Well-written and engaging, Beyond the Maze by Canice Brown-Porter earns Four Angels!
