Happy Halloween! I’d hoped to host this giveaway much earlier this month. However, as I explained in the post about Southwest lifting my spirits, October sort of imploded on me. But it’s not quite over yet. There’s still time to sneak this contest in! How to Play Every family hasContinue Reading

Smalls is the newest addition to our Skeleton Crew. This is his first Halloween and he’s all about it! He’s super excited about our “Fangtastic to be Alive” Giveaway. He’s had a blast adding entries to our Bone Bag. But that one will soon come to an end. He’s notContinue Reading

I mentioned in my first Court’s Corner video (Court’s Corner is one of the Playlists on HJ’s YouTube channel) that I was going to host a giveaway for some blood-themed items in honor of Blood Cancer Awareness Month (which happens in September). I fully intended to start the giveaway inContinue Reading

Any visitor to HJ who has taken an interest beyond the post or two that brought them here and has checked out the About page knows the story-behind-the-story of this place. Cancer is what prompted me to finally get off my butt (and couch) and pursue a long-held passion. Well, it’sContinue Reading

If you follow HJ on social media, you’re well aware that last weekend I attended HAuNTcon and walked away with some new friends…and swag. So guess what that means? (If your answer isn’t “giveaway,” we’ve got problems…) The first people I met was in the registration line the first day.Continue Reading

I could’ve sworn we had two entries in the #MyHJPumpkin Jack-O-Lantern contest but when I went to check again today I only saw the one. So, when there’s only one entry, that one automatically becomes the winner! Congrats to Holly Makitra and her porch sitting jack-o-lantern which came to usContinue Reading

We had some great entries for the #MyHJSelfie Halloween Costume Contest. We had seven categories to choose winners for. However, we goofed on our original post and listed “Most Original” twice. One of those should’ve been “Cutest.” Didn’t catch that until now. Best Couples Costume AND Most Original Costume: VampireContinue Reading

For the entertainment portion of our Halloween 2016 festivities, we’d like to treat you to a reading from our anthology, Shadow People and Cursed Objects: 13 Tales of Terror Based on True Stories…or are they?. And by “we,” we do mean Skellie (our spokes-skeleton pictured above) and our Ambassador ofContinue Reading

  Happy Halloween Season! As we wrote in our Invitation to Haunt Jaunts 2016 Halloween Party, we intended to do giveaways all October long. We also meant to do a #WishYouWereHere and #IfYouDare Halloween challenge. Well, we decided to do something a little bit different. (Of course the inspiration forContinue Reading

If we have a #MyHJSelfie Halloween Costume contest and a #MYHJPumpkin contest we also need to have a #MyHJHaunt contest, right? Here. Let us help you out. Don’t hurt yourself thinking how to respond. There’s only one right answer, which is “Yes.” Of course we do! What We’re Looking ForContinue Reading

In honor of HJ’s 6th Anniversary, and to honor the release of my book, The Ghost of Laurie Floyd, I’m hosting a book giveaway. I chose a smattering of books, some fiction, some non-fiction. Some having to do with ghosts and hauntings, some having to do with zombies and otherContinue Reading

Sometimes it’s super fun to be a blogger. Like around this time of year when company reps contact you about helping to promote a product. In this case, a nice person at Warner Bros. sent me a The Conjuring (Blu-ray + DVD + UltraViolet Combo Pack) to review. I alreadyContinue Reading
