Dear Readers,

It's October, my favorite month of the year! Down here in south Louisiana, it's finally getting cool. That means time to haul out jeans, long sleeves, and boots. It also means hurricane season is over (yay!!) and ghosts and gremlins will soon be roaming the streets. For a crime writer like me, Halloween is my holiday. I actually keep some of my favorite Halloween decorations in my office all year long.

This fall brings an exciting, new venture for me. I'm writing my first series - The Lightkeepers. Set in New Orleans, it's a cop, buddy thriller series with a supernatural twist. Book one, THE FINAL SEVEN, will be available for pre-order November 11th. These stories are close to my heart and I'm so excited to share them with you! Look for more on THE FINAL SEVEN in the next issue of Erica Spindler News as well as the cover reveal.

October Contest: An autgraphed copy of DEAD RUN, one of my creepiest stories, along with a spooky treat to munch on while you read. Head over to www.ericaspindler.com and sign up to win. While you're there, request your free, autographed THE FIRST WIFE bookplate.

Wishing you all treats and no tricks,
Erica
