Ghoulish Giveaway! Blood Magic + Yummys! And maybe a trailer.. :)

Welcome to the second half of my Halloween Giveaway. If you haven’t entered the first… Check it out! Recently I read Blood Magic and I loved it. This book was awesome.. such a creepy feel and had me totally geared up for fall. So I ordered an extra hard cover copy to give away this month.

The lovely Tessa Gratton even agreed to answer some lame Halloween questions for me.. in my first ever Author interview.. I loved reading her answers, I hope you do too! 

Me : What Trick or Treat candy do you get most excited about? 

Tessa: Nerds! They are my ultimate favorite candy!

Me: Do you like pumpkin carving? Any ideas for this years pumpkin?

Tessa: Yes, I especially love gutting the pumpkin. I tend to always go    for big jagged teeth!

Me: What is your favorite Halloween costume that you have dressed up in?

Tessa: Oh, that’s tough! Probably Robin Hood – I wore that costume twice at least, and one extra time that WASN’T Halloween.


here is a pic of Tessa dressed as Robin Hood from when she was young. I tried and failed to get the pic on this post, so here is the link.. Robin Hood

Me: What is the one thing you refuse to dress up as?

Tessa: I’m not a huge fan of “sexy” costumes – like sexy nurse or sexy kitty or whatever. Though, if you’re dressing up as Inara from “Firefly” it better be sexy, since that’s just what she is.

Me: Are there any good spooky movies you love to watch this time of year?

Tessa: My favorite scary movie is “The Others” with Nicole Kidman, but when I was a kid it was “The Watcher in the Woods.”

Me: Do you believe in ghosts? 

Tessa: Not specifically, but I’m open to the idea that ghost-like energy can linger in a place, or around a person.

Me: Are there any Halloween activities that you love doing every year? 

Tessa: I love giving out candy, especially with all the lights off and only candles lit. Despite my earlier answer (or maybe because of it?) I’m a huge fan of a good séance.

Me: Do you have any fun, possibly embarrassing Halloween story you would like to share with us?

Tessa: I did trick-or-treat when I was 16, which is pushing it quite a lot age-wise. But I lived on a military base at the time so there was NOTHING ELSE TO DO. I dressed up as the Phantom of the Opera.

Me: Candy Corn..... yay or nay ?

Tessa: GUH-ROSS.

Me: What is your fav monster / creature / thing..  Vamp, Werewolf, Zombie, Witch, ghost, Mother in Law... could be anything. lol. :)

Tessa: Vampires. What can I say? I like the classics. And the blood-sucking. I’ll take my vampires rotting, gorgeous, or angsting, as long as they occasionally kill something.

Thanks for having me, April!

Me: A huge thank you to Tessa for being on my blog!
