2012 is rapidly coming to a close with 2013 looming large on the horizon. Who better to see in the New Year with than Karen Y. Bynum? (That's a rhetorical question...there's nobody better to see the New Year in with and to even have given that question a moment's thought is, frankly, insulting. *HUFF*) Sorry. I meandered. Ladles and Jellyspoons, I would like to introduce you to the lovely Miss Bynum. She bravely agreed to come visit my blog and impart some of her wisdom, experience, a wee bit of crazy and tell us about her latest book: Witch Way to Turn. Don't worry, I'll let Karen do most of the talking... Karen Y. Bynum (Likes devouring cookies and souls) Karen Y. Bynum is an author of young adult paranormal fantasy.    Her debut novel Witch Way to Turn is published through Lyrical Press.    She grew up in Hickory, North Carolina where mountains and magic surrounded her.    Even as a child, she wrote her own faery tales and prattled in...

The second patient on my operating table...ready for dissection...hmmm, this intro is a little on the serial killer side. Let me try again.

I still haven't tasted a Swedish Fish but fortunately Christmas approaches, her new book is available to buy on the Kindle site and she's in a forgiving mood!  So without further ado...and while she's still talking to me... Carey Heywood ...

Hello blogoverse! It's 12/13/12 so it's time for a new post. I sometimes struggle for ideas so luckily the delightful and super-cool  @MeganPaasch  called me out on her Blog: Rhymes with Smash ! ...and so now to the questions: I hope I have some good answers... What is the working title of your book? It started off being called Solace. Which is the name of the fictional town it's set in. For the last six months though I've been calling it PERSEPHONE, after the main character. I think I'm going to stick with that. Where did the idea come from for your book? I had an idea for a trilogy of stories based around the disappearances of three young girls. The first was MONSTERS , my self-published book about a detective hunting for a young girl kidnapped on Halloween. The idea was to connect the stories both thematically and using the same basic cast of characters. One of the characters in the first story, Emerson Watts, used to be a Federal Agent and his life was de...
