WHAT YOU’LL WIN: The first paperback novella of The Hauntings of DoG Street, Chowning’s Tavern, and also a 30-minute remote Reiki session! If you prefer the ebook, that can be arranged. After all, it contains full-color photographs while the paperback pictures are not in full color!
RULES: Sign up to ‘The Hub’ during the months of September and October. ‘The Hub’ is the once-a-month e-letter that comes to your inbox! It keeps you updated with all the comings and goings across the multi-verse.
A random winner will be chosen and contacted by the end of the first week of November. I will email you that you’ve won; you’ll supply me a mailing address (or email address) for your book, and we will talk further about setting up the Reiki session.
If you do not claim your prize within one week of being sent the confirmation email, I will have to move on to another winner. Be sure to check your SPAM!
ONLY OPEN TO THE USA UNLESS YOU WANT THE E-BOOK.
WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT?
This paranormal historical fiction series is set in modern day Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. The tale follows Melody and her friends as they discover her knack for seeing and speaking with 18th century ghosts. These ghosts still have tales to share! Who is the Man in the Hat? Would Marcus please just go away? Why does Oliver have soot on his hands?
A little bit of history, a lot a bit of fiction, come get spooked!
BUT WAIT, WHO AM I?
My name is Allison. Among the many hats I wear as writer-educator-bodyworker, the most important one that I wear is the Mom hat. My connection to Salem, Ma? I got married October 31, 2020 at Ropes Mansion by the infamous Borah Snaggletooth Brewington XIII. And yes–the name Borah appears in The Hauntings of DoG Street!
WHAT IS REIKI?
As I mentioned above, I am a bodyworker. I practice, among other things, massage, foot reflexology, and Reiki. Reiki knows no bounds, so I can offer a remote session even if we aren’t in the same space! The Cleveland Clinic has this to say about in-person sessions. The NIH did this study about distance Reiki. Once you win, we’ll sort out the book, and then dialogue about the Reiki!
WANT MORE?
The first two novellas, Chowning’s Tavern and Bruton Parish Church are available for purchase at Amazon and the third novella, The Wren Building will be available at the end of September. The fourth novella, The Capitol Building, will be written at TheHauntingsofDoGStreet.com starting in late September/early October. For just $3, you not only get to read the first draft of the final story of DoG Street, but you can have a say in how the story unfolds with polls and comments. Read more about it all here.
Happy Hauntings, Friends! Enjoy the Spooky Season!
