Cate: Yay, Taryn Kincaid's here to my special Halloween celebration.
Taryn, please tell us a little bit about yourself.
Taryn: BOR-ING.
Cate: Aren't most writers? lol What do you love most about Halloween?
Taryn: I write erotic paranormal romances. So let’s just say…some of my
favorite books come out just before Halloween!
Ooops. There goes one now
Cate: Whew, is it getting hot in here? :) Do you have a favorite memory of a Halloween past?
Taryn: Well, okay. If you insist. Scary, isn’t it?
Cate: Love the hobo outfit! Have you ever had an unusual experience you couldn’t explain?
Cate: What frightens you the most?
Taryn: People with fewer working brain cells than soap sludge who are
elected to the U.S. Congress.
Cate: lol Ever gone on a ghost tour? Or ghost hunting on your own?
Taryn: Once, back in my newspaper days, I went to interview a professor
at a local Catholic college. He claimed that he lived in a Haunted House
(which, coincidentally, was not far from Sleepy Hollow). The entire house
creaked, from the rickety stairs to the squishy lawn. He would enhance the
effects for his students and other neighborhood kids for Halloween. Which, when
you think about it, might be kind of weird for a priest.
Cate: Any favorite Halloween recipes you’d care to share?
Taryn: Tons, now that I have discovered Pinterest! You can check out my
“Happy Halloween” page here: http://www.pinterest.com/tarynkincaid/happy-halloween/.
There’s everything from the “Bloody Dexter Broken Glass Cupcake” to the “Dark
and Stormy Death Punch” and “Halloween Eyeballs Jello Shots.”

Cate: Sounds dangerously good. Tell us about your latest release, and where readers can find it

Taryn: Sleepy Hollow – it’s the anthology of all four of my erotic
paranormal Sleepy Hollow series 1Night Stand stories for Decadent Publishing
(Lightning, Thunder, Frost and Heat Wave), plus Blizzard, my erotic
contemporary for Decadent’s The Edge line.
It’s available in paperback and digital. Here’s the back cover copy:
Welcome to steamy Sleepy
Hollow, where lightning strikes, the temperatures are HOT, and the erotic
sparks fly!
You wouldn't
think three sultry succubi sisters, two sexy fire-demons, a reluctant witch and
a couple of mega hunky mortals would need hook-ups courtesy of Madame Eve's
ultra-exclusive 1Night Stand agency…but hey, the dating scene can be rough,
even if you've got extraordinary paranormal powers and live in a mystical
village populated by supernaturals… where things tend to go bump in the night.
Taryn Kincaid's erotic
1Night Stand stories, LIGHTNING, THUNDER, FROST and HEAT WAVE are a little
snarky, a lot smokin' and will melt your heart! And then BLIZZARD will set you
aflame!
Cate: Love. This. Series.
Woot! You lucky readers - Taryn has a giveaway!
Taryn: Will give away an ebook copy LIGHTNING, the first book in my
Sleepy Hollow series to one random commenter. Tell me YOUR favorite Halloween
recipe or a leave a link to it!
Cate: Thanks so much for the spooktacular fun, Taryn! Happy Halloween!
