Giving up the Ghost by Gwen Gardner

Friend or Foe? Murder victim Bart Bagley is not content to merely roll over in his grave. He wants his murderer caught and he wants teenage ghost whisperer, Indigo Eady, to help him.

It becomes obvious that Bart’s temper lead to more than one disagreement, but is it enough to want him dead? With nothing but a cold trail and a hot list of “friendly” suspects, Indigo and her friends race to find the killer before they become the next victims.

Indigo Eady is not clumsy. At least, that’s what she keeps telling everyone. Can she help that the overactive spirit community of Sabrina Shores causes her psychic abilities to short-circuit? It’s unfortunate that her cute new friend Badger is often on the receiving end of her mishaps. At times, she is positively hazardous to his health. Even so, sparks start to fly in more than one direction…

NeverLove by Angela Brown

For seventeen-year-old Abigail, one rash decision leads to an unexpected chance for redemption. At V’Salicus Academy, a unique institute where she trains to become an agent of heaven, she struggles with the pain of her past, the changes of the present and accepts a loveless future until her path – and heart – crosses with Basil’s.

Basil’s off-chance slip of the tongue binds him to a life of servitude to the Devourer, the master of hell. His existence has no upside until a chance meeting with Abigail brings new perspective.

Keeping the truth of their present lives from each other brings disaster when secrets are brought to light and the life of Abigail’s mentor is put on the line.

Can Abigail and Basil save her mentor and salvage their love amid the chaos? Or will they lose it all, destined forever to NEVERLOVE?

Congrats to both Gwen and Angela on their upcoming releases. Woot!

 

Last weekend at the observatory …

Well, it’s definitely autumn here at night. All bundled up, I was still chilled to the bone both Friday and Saturday night, cranking up the heater in the car on the way home. Despite mittens, my fingers grew numb Saturday night.

It was a blue moon, second full moon in August, but with all the smoke around here, it was actually an orange moon. With some fun with filters, I turned it very orange.

With Paint.net, I turned it blue.

Didn’t run into any critters this weekend. The rancher and the gangsta cows packed up and are gone for other pastures. Only saw one rabbit. No deer. No antelope. No coyotes. Didn’t hear any coyotes either.

Full Moon washes out the sky with so much light pollution, it’s like standing in the middle of New York City. Since I navigate by guide stars, not being able to see a lot of them hinders my ability to find objects quickly. I did a lot of hunting. Most of the objects were too washed out to find or share. Did see the owl cluster, ring nebula, dumbbell nebula, double open cluster, Andromeda, M13, M22, M6, and the Lagoon nebula. Very briefly viewed Saturn and Mars. They’re getting very low on the horizon. Might get another peek at them this weekend. Maybe. Mostly, we looked at the Moon.

Those aren’t Jodi pig eyes. If they had been, I’d still be screaming. No, the red lights are from the telescope of my fellow volunteer, Jim.

Fun with filters.

Don’t forget that Monday is the What’s Your Chocolate? Bloghop. Dang, it required a visit to my favorite chocolate shop. :D You can still sign up and join the fun HERE

    Photos are great. Like the green moon. And I so remember Jodie the pig eyes…

  3. I love the moon pictures. I like the green one too.

  4. See? The moon IS made of green cheese. :) Yeah, those “red eyes” make that photo scary…

  5. Wow, you certainly have lots of fun at the observatory. Gorgeous pics. Love the colours…

    I love your fun with filters. Makes the moon look like a colored ball. I don’t have a telescope but I love it when it gets dark enough by me to see stars and sometimes a planet. Congrats on the new releases. I wish both authors huge successes. And I cannot wait for the chocolate blog fest. It’s going to be great!

  6. Blue moon is my fave. I like those songs about the Blue moon too. Filters are fun, and I envy you being able to see all those constellations.

    I have my post ready to go for your Chocolate Blogfest. Why did you have to go to the chocolate shop – to buy prizes?? Or to decide which was your fave?

    Good luck to Gwen and Angela!

  7. Pop by for a visit some time, Stuart.

    Yeah, Jodi made me actually scream while reading the book, Alex. I looked up and saw two red eyes out the window. I screamed my head off. They were only tail lights. lol

    There wasn’t anything else to photograph, Tonja.

    It is, Laura. Mmm.

    Fun with filters is what made my fingers numb. Dark skies tonight, Michelle. I’m excited.

    Yay for chocolate, Melissa.

  8. I needed a photo, DG. Any excuse to go visit the Chocolate Man and Mrs. Chocolate, I go.

  9. Thank you so much, Mary, for hosting our cover releases. The support means so much to us!

    I love your moon’s – they look like skittles. Yum:) I like the yellow and green best <3

  10. wonderful pictures and those books look fantastic for reading. :) I hope you have a great weekend!

  11. Yep, I’ve been seeing those covers everywhere. Kind of cool that they paired up.

    And fun pics of the moon! Love that bright orange one.

  12. I never tire of seeing the photographs you take at the observatory!

  13. I’ve been reminding myself all day about the chocolate hop!!

  14. I’m more than happy to help out, Gwen.

    Thanks Summer. I hope you do, too.

    I’m happy for Angela and Gwen, LG. It’s great to see folks getting out there.

    I’m not tired of taking them, Loretta. Not yet. :) Looking forward to dark skies tonight.

    I just ate some chocolate. It was like a Heath bar, but so much better. Mmmm. Have a great weekend, Libby.

  15. I love those moon pictures with different colors. I thought about the scary eyes when I saw that one picture too! I have my Chocolate post all ready to go. Yum!

    Miranda Hardy says:

    Wonderful pictures, Mary. I love the blue one best, I think.

    Congrats to both ladies. Love the cover and love the fact you are working together. That’s awesome!

  16. I LOVE the pictures you included! I would really enjoy going to the observatory and listening to a night sky tour. The Blue Moon looked orange-ish in CT, too! Congrats to Gwen and Angela

  17. Awesome observatory pictures. Love the rainbow colours. Those novels look really intriguing. Giving Up the Ghost certainly has me wanting to know more and Neverlove make me curious too.

  18. Very cool moon pix, and congrats to the authors, Angela and Gwen. The green moon’s my fave.

  19. I thought of our chat when I commented on that photo, Christine. lol

    It was something to do, Miranda.

    You’ll have to come visit sometime, Jess.

    It’s great for both Angela and Gwen, Madeleine. It’s wonderful to see them getting out there.

    I liked that one, too, Catherine. Red moon looks cooler through the eyepiece than the photo did it justice.

    Last night was absolutely perfect. Dark, warm, quiet skies, small crowds. We looked at absolutely everything. Hope for a repeat tonight.

  20. Wow!!! Oh my, I LOVE that Blood Moon picture.
