A cold wind. The whisper of voices when nobody's there. The turning of the world from the light of summer toward the dark days of the Dying Time. These are the heralds of Samhain, the Witches' New Year. Halloween.Within these pages you will find creeping chills and fears made real. Come inside... only if you dare.
I have been writing for as long as I can remember. It started on a snowy day near Christmas when I was three or four. I don't recall the impetus, but my older sister, whom I idolized and copied as much as possible, started writing a story. Not to be outdone, I started writing a story too. I've been writing ever since.
I am proud to have written the Rune Series books ("Rune Sword", "Rune Master", "Rune Hunter", and "Rune King's Daughter"), and I intend to continue my first series, Clans, which began with the novel "Nightchild". I'm currently working on an Arthurian retelling, "Arthur Rex".
Samhain is alive and well and spooky as ever. The story that creeped me out the most was Halloween from Hell. The description of witches giving birth to spider babies on Main Street is not soon forgotten. Carlton Herzog
