Welcome to my new blog! And it turns out, I’m just in time, because I recently discovered the A to Z April Blog Challenge and decided to hit the ground running by participating.
I’m a paranormal and supernatural fiction author who pens stories ranging from romance to thrillers, mysteries, and more, all in the paranormal/supernatural vein. I’ve previously written in several other genres under other pen names and as a ghostwriter, dabbling in all sizes of fiction, including flash fiction, short stories, novellas, and novels.
For the upcoming blog challenge next month, we have the option of announcing a theme (if one is desired) by March 16th, so I am really cutting it close, but I wanted to think on it to ensure I could fill 26 days with the theme. It took almost no time to decide, though, so here it is:
PARANORMAL FICTION
Probably not much of a surprise, right? But it’s a topic I’m passionate about and was inspired by my upcoming novel, Capturing the Wylde Wolf (which is part one of a duology, with a supplemental novella in the works). Expect some sneak peeks into the world and characters, as well as discussions surrounding why I chose paranormal fiction, how to craft a series, worldbuilding, character building, tropes (good and bad), and more! Blog posts beyond April will cover additional topics, as well as expand on the April topics, and I welcome suggestions for anything related to paranormal fiction for future posts.
I look forward to seeing you in the comments, and if you have a blog that revolves around the same topic, feel free to link it so I can check it out!
I love all things paranormal so I look forward to visiting you in April
Debbie
Thank you very much for visiting, and I hope you enjoy!
Best,

Stopping in to take a look at your theme and wish you a happy March and a wonderful April. Can’t wait to read more during April! ♥
Thank you for coming by! I look forward to your thoughts!
Best,
Torie
This might not be my usual thing but I’m sure you’ll change my mind. see you in April.
I really appreciate you coming by anyway – and you might be surprised! One of the main points in my writing is to write enjoyable stories without some of the tropes that pervade the genre that are unsettling. For example, I don’t like the way some of these stories make young, impressionable people (especially girls) think certain concepts in stories (like stalking being romantic) are acceptable in real life. I try to take the feelings behind that (the feeling of being protected) and portray it in a healthy way to show you can experience these things without abusive relationships. I’ll actually be covering this topic toward the end of the challenge (V = values).
Best,
Torie
Great theme choice for the A to Z challenge! Looking forward to the rest of your alphabet journey!
My topic (here: https://gritandgrace2015.blogspot.com/2024/03/atozchallenge-theme-announcement.html ) may not have as much appeal for everyone, but I’m going to give it a try 🙂
Nothing appeals to everyone, so don’t worry about that! Thank you very much for stopping by!
Interesting theme. Good luck!

Thank you, and the same to you! I’m slowly working my way through all the theme posts – there’s a lot!
Welcome to A to Z! I write fantasy and spec fic (though not paranormal) so I particularly look forward to seeing your take.
A-Z Challenge: Magical Botany
Thank you very much! I’m looking forward to this month’s challenges and sharing what I’ve learned over the years. Everyone has such great themes, and I’m excited to see all the posts and learn new things!
Welcome to the A-Z Challenge. You will have fun with it. I look forward to dropping in and reading about all things paranormal fiction.
Happy blogging, Jenny
Thank you for coming by, Jenny! April is going to be exciting and full of fun with all the different blogs!
I love paranormal stories, and if they are “not the usual” even better, since I write some of those myself. Will be back to read for sure 💜 Enjoy the challenge!
I sure will, and I hope you do too! Paranormal fiction is so fun and freeing to me since you can make different worlds with different rules and really go wild with exploration. I just hate that some of it has gotten such a bad rap for various reasons.
Fantastic theme you’ve chosen for the A to Z challenge! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the next letters of the alphabet.

Exciting theme reveal! I’m looking forward to following your A-to-Z journey throughout April. Best of luck with the challenge. I’ve restarted my blog and deleted all the old content since I’ve been away for about 10 years and am coming back with the A-to-Z Challenge, hopefully it’ll give me some blog theme motivation and some dedicated readers. My theme is here: https://illusionsofchaos.blogspot.com/2024/03/hello-again-atozchallenge-theme-reveal.html
