Did I write a "Trick or Treat" story?

Do I leave the reader with a "trick" or a "treat" in this delightful, amusing halloween tale of goblins, witches, warlocks, and faeries? Could you fall in love with a short, decrepid little creature that looked like a reject from the Twilight Zone? And, give up the most attractive man in New York City that others would kill for, just to have his attentions turned on them for fifteen minutes? The City's most eligible bachelor? The son of the most powerful and richest family in New York State?

 

Would you hesitate to love someone because you're afraid of losing them? Caitlin Montgomery leaves NYC because the reminders of 9/11 and the loss of her parents in that terrorist act are too great for her to deal with on a daily basis. Even five years later, the twin beams of light haunted her.

 

She had remembered trips to Montreal, Quebec with her parents. They always drove through the Village of Rouses Point. And, her father always drove her past the old Clabo Victorian that stood on the banks of Lake Champlain. Now, she owned it. Her dream come true. Not that her parents couldn't have bought it years before. It had been empty for more than half a century.

 

Tales of it being haunted was legend. Just as 'Champy', the Lake Champlain sea monster, who was often referred to as the cousin to 'Nessy', the more famous and well known, Loch Ness sea serpent.

 

This is perhaps one of my favorite stories that I have written so far. This story is a novella with a Halloween theme. It's outside my usual sub-genre writing as it combines paranormal and fantasy.

 

THE GOBLIN, THE WITCH, AND THE SINGLE GIRL is scheduled for release near the end of October. Just in time for some Halloween fun!
