A Halloween Q&A with 'Wild West Hauntings' co-author: C.R. Moss ( @evernightpub @rmsotera #writer #so )

In preparation for the release of our spooky tale, Wild West Hauntings, I wanted to share a Halloween interview I did once upon a time…

Q1: What do you like most about Halloween?
A1: I’ve always liked the Halloween season – the crisp air, the colors, the sense of the macabre and all the horror films that come out. Then there’s the candy… ;) The night of Halloween is subdued. I meditate and reflect on the past year and coming year and honor those who have gone beyond the veil.

Q2: When creating a Paranormal/Supernatural/Horror tale, how do you choose what creatures/beings you want to write about?
A2: The characters and story normally dictate what creatures/beings I’ll use. Or if I get a creature/being in mind a story will wrap around it.

Q3: Have you ever dressed up like one of your characters for Halloween?
A3: Not yet, but that’d be a fun idea.

Q4: What scares you the most?
A4: I dislike spiders, and I have a fear of heights.

Q5: What is the first horror book/story that you remember reading?
A5: Stephen King's Pet Sematary

Q6: Do you look to your own phobias to find subject matter? Are your stories the products of nightmares, childhood experiences, fantasies?
A6: Sometimes I’ll use dreams/nightmares for my stories. And yes, I’ll incorporate phobias to add to the fear and tension of a story.

~ A look into Wild West Hauntings ~
In Wild West Hauntings there’s a ghost, a poltergeist, the fear of losing one’s mind and the fear of harm coming to an unborn child. Spooky good times!

* In life and the afterlife, on the Double D Ranch one belief holds true—the power of love changes lives.
* With cowboys, ghosts, modern day women, hot dreams, pre-wedding relations and a bit of sexy time travel, life promises to be one wild time on the ranch again.
* Rachel Star has met the man of her dreams … literally. Too bad he’s a ghost. When true love crosses boundaries from dreams to reality and across time, the Double D ranch is the place it happens. It takes the love of a man from the past, Dalton Dougan, to bring love full circle in the present for Rachel.
* Bristol Ashcombe, soon to be Dougan, is ready to have her baby … and so is a poltergeist. Can the love of a woman for her man and child sustain her during the most horrible of terrors? Can the love between family and friends really dispel the evil haunting them?
* Wild West Hauntings — Double D Ranch Tales (Book 2), a contemporary, paranormal, erotic romance story set in Nevada.
