 The owner of a castle in Ireland tries to save his business by claiming the castle is haunted. Unfortunately, this awakens real ghosts and causes mayhem for the guests. Trapped in the castle, they must survive until they can find a way out.
I first saw this movie at a very young age and there is one scene that really scared me back then (okay, it still does) and that is a scene involving some creepy nuns. However, it is not full blown horror, more dark comedy. It is an enjoyable movie with a lot of recognizable faces. There is a love story too, and a bit of wife swapping lol. If you like zany, spooky comedy then do check this movie out.

 Because even a vampire deserves a second chance.
When Jason Cook boarded the train to San Francisco, he hadn't planned on coming back. He never thought he'd see Nebraska or Lizbeth Petersen ever again. But when an unexpected turn of events threatens the woman he'd been forced to leave behind, he has no choice but to go back and try to make things right. Warning.This is not a drill. Vampires are invading your favorite, small Nebraska town this Halloween. Does this mean Type-O flavored Booze will soon be the new rage in Sapphire Falls? Hopefully, it won't come to that. But you never can tell...  Autumn Winters has a secret that could get her killed. She just doesn't know she's keeping it.
Autumn Winters can suddenly see into another world, one full of supernatural beings that can't possibly exist. But another window has opened within her, bringing memories of when her sister also displayed magical abilities. That was just before her sister went missing, and she hasn't been seen since. Autumn believes there must be a connection between what's happening to her now and what happened years ago. Determined to discover the truth, she sets out with the mysterious private investigator, Ian, to track down who was behind her sister’s disappearance. What Autumn doesn't realize is that she’s coming into her powers. And when the powers of a veil witch awaken, there are those who'll be waiting. Getting closer to the truth only means getting closer to danger.  A young witch emerges from a curse to find her world upended in this gripping fantasy set in turn-of-the-century France.
For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that confined her to the shallows of a marshland and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger. Vigneron Jean-Paul Martel naively favors science over superstition, and he certainly doesn’t endorse the locals’ belief in witches. But Elena knows a hex when she sees one, and the vineyard is covered in them. To stay on and help the vines recover, she’ll have to hide her true identity, along with her plans for revenge against whoever stole seven winters of her life. And she won’t rest until she can defy the evil powers that are still a threat to herself, Jean-Paul, and the ancient vine-witch legacy in the rolling hills of the Chanceaux Valley.  Assassin. Private Investigator. Cat shifter. She’s about to trade secrets for survival.
Kat has spent her life taking lives. As a deadly feline shifter assassin, she’s fast, silent, and lethal—and she prefers it that way. But when a job forces her to investigate a murder instead of commit one, she stumbles into a mystery involving severed body parts, suspicious clients, and a rival assassin who just might be better than her. Add in a talking cat network, a new team of misfit allies, and an unexpected connection with several dangerously intriguing men, and Kat’s simple life of murder and solitude is about to get a whole lot more complicated. Book one in the Catnip Assassins series, a completed slow-burn paranormal reverse harem full of shifter romance, urban fantasy action, female assassins, found family, and a snarky cat shifter who doesn’t play by the rules. If you love sarcastic heroines, secret societies, emotional slow-burns, and shapeshifter drama, start this addictive series today.  Seasons of Magic welcomes the Autumn…
Mabon represents balance, gratitude and the coming darkness. Samhain represents divination, the thinning of the veil, and honoring the dead. Magic is in the air…but what happens when spells go wrong? What happens when intentions turn sour and magic goes awry? For these six witches, it means dealing with the dead, working with the world of shadows and a love turned deadly. Magic is not for the faint hearted and it always has a price. Seasons of Magic: Mabon - Samhain is the third collection in the Seasons of Magic series.  1) As an author, do you write neurodivergent characters?
I think so, but I’m not sure if I have directly mentioned any kind of neurodivergency in my writing, but I’ve written several characters that are at least partly me, and I’m AuDHD. 2) How does your neurodivergency impact your writing? Sometimes, I have a hard time sitting down to write because I feel like I have too many options to work on. I have a hard time motivating myself without hard deadlines. 3) What aspects of neurodivergency do you wish were more mainstream and that more people understood? ADHD; so many people think it’s just being easily distracted and that Adderall is a fix-all for it. 4) Do you have any other neurodivergent authors that you would recommend? M Leigh Morhaime 5) What are you working on next? A few anthology pieces, some poetry books, hopefully a collab with my best author friend, and a thousand other WIPs  1) As an author, do you write neurodivergent characters?
I have started writing neuro divergent characters recently as I only discovered I was AuDHD in the last few years. That being said, I think a lot of my characters had ADHD or Autistic traits without me realizing it. My most recent character has ADHD and she discovers she is the new Keeper for a magical library. That is under my pen name Addison Sinclair. 2) What types of neurodivergency have you included in your work? ADHD as I said, but I have also I included Autism in a character for a short story. I do plan on expanding that into a series at some point. 3) How does your neurodivergency impact your writing? It can be very chaotic with my ADHD. Especially with deadlines. I struggle some days to write anything, and then other days I go into hyper focus and I can write for hours. I do love my imagination and I know it is partly because of my AuDHD. I have hyperphantasia too which allows me to play out stories in my head like a movie. 4) What aspects of neurodivergency do you wish were more mainstream and that more people understood? That it doesn't have a specific look and everyone deserves understanding. Too many people assume that people must look or act a certain way if they are neuro divergent. They don't understand how it affects people and how distressing some situations can be. We have a world of knowledge at our fingertips and I would encourage everyone to read up on it. To listen to people's stories so they are aware of why someone may respond a certain way. 5) Do you have any other neurodivergent authors that you would recommend? S. L. Sinclair, Lily Luchesi, Sarina Langer, Brigitte Ann Thomas - to name a few but there are so many out there. 6) What are you working on next? I am working on a new story that is very loosely based on Alice in Wonderland. The main character is sent to another world where she has to fight to survive. I hope to release it later this year.  1) As an author, do you write neurodivergent characters? I do, but for the longest time, it was by accident. One of my current main characters, Esta (of A Dream of Death and Magic ‘fame’), had ADHD before I knew she got it from me! She was also queer before I realized she got that from me, too, but that’s another interview. I’m currently writing Book 16 (I think?). I’m sure if I went back over all previous characters, I’d find other examples, but there are a lot of them, and I didn’t pay any attention to neurodiversity representation at the time—I just figured I didn’t have the right since I totally wasn’t neurodiverse myself *ahem*. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year August and have since been put on the autism waiting list, so I haven’t known for long. Now that I do, I can represent with purpose. 2) What types of neurodivergency have you included in your work? I’m sure more of my main characters than Esta have ADHD, but I’d have go back over every character I’ve ever written to know for sure. I’m pretty sure several characters have anxiety. There’ll be more in the future, but plotting (and writing and worldbuilding and editing and—) takes time. 3) How does your neurodivergency impact your writing? Honestly, a lot, and it’s on both ends of the spectrum and everywhere in between. It took me years to figure out a balance and compromise with myself that works—something that has enough structure for me to know where I’m going but with enough flexibility that I can flail all over the place. Every writer has days where they feel like they can’t write. For me, it’s not a choice on those days, and it took me a long time to accept that I have no control over it. If my brain says no, it’s a non-negotiable no. Fighting it only makes the executive disfunction worse and makes me feel terrible (cue the ‘why can’t I just do it??’ guilt), so instead, I take the day off now so my brain can rest as it wants/needs to. I’m getting better at not feeling guilty about that, too, but it’s an ongoing journey. My actual writing works the same. I’ve always said that I’m neither a plotter nor a pantser, because I’m a bit of both. I need the structure and direction a plot and outline give me, but I need the freedom to explore and to leave the path that pantsing lets me have. It’s nice to know I can’t lose my way entirely when I write no matter how far I wander. My plot will still be there to guide me back if I get lost. I usually have more than one series on the go at once, because it’s crucial I switch projects between books. If I work on the same series book after book without a change of scenery, I burn out. Hard. I need the distraction of a different series between drafts and books so my brain can enjoy Shiny New Project syndrome or the process starts to feel too rigid and I move too far in the other direction, where I can’t do anything at all. I also need to know what I’m coming back to or there’s too much freedom. It might sound chaotic or non-sensical to some (though personally I really don’t think it is), but I’ve learned to trust the process over the years. My first book is 10 this year. I’ve had a lot of time to adjust how I work and lean into my neurodiversity rather than fight it, even before I knew what was going on. And I’m fairly confident I wouldn’t have written 16 books in 10 years without hyperfocus. That may not seem like a huge number compared to other authors, but I take a lot of time over each book, making sure the characters are heard, the story is told right, I understand the world correctly, etc—and all that is after the initial idea collecting, the figuring out, the plotting. I let every book rest for at least a month (preferably longer) before I start the First Big Edit. Then there are professional editing rounds, beta versions, sometimes I share the alpha version, final readthroughs… My cover designer and formatter need time, too. Don’t get me started on the research. I can’t knock out a new book every three months. It takes time for me to craft my books. So, 16 books in 10 years might not be a lot to some, but for me, it absolutely is, and hyperfocus made it possible. 4) What aspects of neurodivergency do you wish were more mainstream and that more people understood? I’ve seen the take that it’s trendy to have ADHD or autism right now. Sit down and listen. There’s nothing cute or instagrammable about literally being unable to do The Thing. There’s a reason both are categorized as disabilities – because for me, when executive disfunction kicks in (generally without warning and without my permission), it feels like the part of my brain I need has been shut off, and no, I can’t just turn it back on again. Having lost your keys once happens to everyone. Needing to put your own belongings in your own way, physically, so you have to step on them because you don’t remember they exist otherwise every time does not. It’s not ‘everyone seems to have ADHD and autism these days’. It’s ‘people are finally getting diagnosed correctly.’ I’m 36 now, and I was just as AuDHD-tastic 30 years ago, when no one cared to notice my symptoms – but if they had, it would have made a huge difference, if not to my schools then to myself. ‘I might know that I need to do my accounts, sort out my laundry, or catch up on emails, but sometimes, my brain just won’t let me. This isn’t me being lazy or difficult or trying to get out of something; it’s me struggling against my brain, trying to figure out how to do something I’m just not wired to do.’ (Unmasked, by Ellie Middleton) 5) Do you have any other neurodivergent authors that you would recommend? I will never not recommend Nicole Eigener’s books. If you love dark, romantic, gothic, queer vampires, her books are for you. Charlie Knight also deserves a shout-out for their incredibly readable queer romances and seafaring adventures. I’d also recommend SK Gregory’s books, but you’re already on her blog, so I probably don’t need to tell you. 6) What are you working on next? I can finally turn my attention to a series I’ve been desperate to write for a few years now. All other projects are now out of the way. I’m writing dark epic fantasy again, folks <3 The project has changed significantly to when I first had the idea several Christmases ago (it also has nothing at all to do with Christmas, but sometimes, when we give our brains a much-needed break, they come up with good stuff), and I’m excited to finally (not sorry for the repetition, by the way – finally finally finally) dive in properly, do all the world-building, really get to know my seven POV characters, figure out the plot. It’s been a lot of fun, and there’s so much left to do. Watch this space (well, not this space, that’s Sam’s; watch my space, on my website or my newsletter).  Sarina Langer is a dark fantasy author of both epic and urban paranormal novels. Her characters knew she's queer (demi and pan) and has ADHD before she did (and they didn't say *anything* to her!).
She’s as obsessed with books and stationery now as she was as a child, when she drowned her box of colour pencils in water so they wouldn’t die and scribbled her first stories on corridor walls. (‘A first sign of things to come’, according to her mother. ‘Normal toddler behaviour’, according to Sarina.) In her free time she usually reads one audiobook, one ebook, and one paperback (one for every occasion), plays video games, and obsesses over mythology. She has a weakness for books on writing and pretty words. (Specificity, anyone? Or perhaps nebulous?) Sarina lives with her partner in the south of England. |
