Shiloh Walker | Things that go bump in the night...

facebooktwitter

It’s that time of year...October is here, nights are cool, almost time for trick or treating. The leaves are turning. Something about this time of year makes me want to check out haunted houses, scary movies, spooky books.

I love a good thrill. I love it when something gets my heart to pounding...it doesn’t matter if it’s one of those fake haunted houses where you just know they are going to jump out at you with a knife, or if it’s a walk through a house that just may really be haunted.

Scary movies, scary books...give me a good scare...a safe one, and I’m happy.

That’s the appeal of romantic suspense for me—the edgier, the better. If You Hear Her is the first book in my romantic suspense trilogy...followed by If You See Her and If You Know Her, releasing this winter.

While I’ve written several romantic suspense books before, this is my first trilogy and I was able to go a little deeper, took it a little darker...got to play with all those things that go bump in the night.

And it all started with a scream...the heroine is awakened one night when she hears somebody screaming for help. Lena lives out in the country, several miles away from anybody else and she’s the only one who hears these screams. For a little while, she’s not even sure if anybody else believes her.

Except for Ezra...the hero.

Everything starts to change, though, when a body is found and things get dicey fast. If you’d like to read some of the story, I’ve got a nice long excerpt on my site and you can read about the other two books in the Ash Trilogy as well, plus check out the wallpapers for the series and the contest that’s going on for the next couple of weeks.

Re: Shiloh Walker | Things that go bump in the night...

Being from Kentucky I just love books that are set in my home state. Series are my favorite to read too. So I cannot wait to read these.

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I still go to
haunted houses, watch scary movies, decorate
like a madman, and of course dress up. I get a
strange thrill from jumping out of my skin and
scaring my friends. I love it when a book can give
me that same thrill. Can't wait to read yours.

I was born in Kentucky, Leisa! I love the area... I'm still
pretty local ;)

Carla, I love halloween, too...

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, too. I can't wait to
read your book after reading the excerpts! It sounds
fascinating! And a must read.

Happy Release Day, Shiloh. Can't wait to read your new trilogy.

I watched a group of Zombies dancing on Saturday and then they went biking around the block a few times. It stopped traffic and was well-organized. Nobody screamed even though the make-up was creepy. Your trilogy sounds like it has a lot of action and is tempting.

@ Alyson... that sounds like so much fun... lol

I normally don't go in for scary things - not since I watched Frankenstein when I was a little girl with my older Sister. I was up past my bedtime, and ended up having nightmares afterwards. Now that I'm older, I can appreciate the artistic genius of the movie. Anyway, since you wrote these heart-pounding books, I have no choice but to give them a shot. I know I won't be disappointed!! If I have nightmares, I'm sure they'll go away after a couple of days anyways. :)

Halloween is my second best holiday, but Christmas is my first!!!!!!!!! Love them all!!!
(Joanne Bozik 2:47pm October 27, 2011)

I love things that go bump in the night. I love doing haunted houses. The only thing is that no one should touch me. Happened once and oh boy I was so freaked out and the kid that touched me ended up not being to happy either. One of those walls that come alive, he grabbed my leg. This was back in the '80's. No more Touching. LOL
