About HALLOW BE THE HAUNT
(A Krewe of Hunters Novella)
Years
ago, Jake Mallory fell in love all over again with Ashley Donegal–while he and
the Krewe were investigating a murder that replicated a horrible Civil War
death at her family’s Donegal Plantation.
Now,
Ashley and Jake are back–planning for their wedding, which will take place the
following month at Donegal Plantation, her beautiful old antebellum home.
But
Halloween is approaching. And Ashley is haunted by a ghost warning her of
deaths about to come in the city of New Orleans, deaths caused by the same
murderer who stole the life of the beautiful ghost haunting her dreams, night
after night.
At
first, Jake is afraid that returning home has simply awakened some of the fear
of the past . . . .
But
as Ashley’s nightmares continue, a body count begins to accrue in the city . .
. .
And
it’s suddenly a race to stop a killer before Hallow’s Eve comes to a crashing
end, with dozens more life at stake, not to mention heart, soul, and life for
Jake and Ashley themselves.

Excerpt
Donegal
Plantation was beautiful. It echoed the glory and the agony of history. Now a
museum, it was often used as a guesthouse as well. But for the month of
October, no rooms were rented out. It was simply too crazy a time.
And,
at the moment, Donegal Plantation was “haunted.”
Not
just in reality. But also commercially, for the Halloween season.
An
early 1800s hearse sat in the sweeping drive. The striking white pillars at the
entrance were draped in black. Menacing witches on broomsticks were hung here
and there along the antebellum porch—along with ghosts, goblins, and evilly
grinning jack-o’-lanterns.
Driving
up to the house, Ashley Donegal smiled—and let out a sigh at the same time.
Donegal Plantation was her home. She loved it—fiercely. She was proud of the
property. They had a re-enactment each year of the Civil War skirmish that had
been fought here. And they laid it all out for the truth of what had been.
The
good that had occurred.
And
the bad.
Her
grandfather, Frazier, was still alive. And, with the help of his employees Beth
and Cliff, he kept Donegal plantation going with tours and events—such as
Halloween.
So
it was right and good that she was now on this trip to plan her wedding to Jake
Mallory. It was here—years ago—her ancestor’s death had been proven to be a
murder, not just an act of war. And it was here where they had solved the
murders that had taken place then.
The
murders that had brought her and Jake back together again.
She
had been in love with Jake as long as she could remember. But it hadn’t been
until her father’s death that Jake, a member of an elite unit of the FBI, had
come back.
And
they had been together ever since.
What
had caused them to take so long to marry, she wasn’t sure. Probably because it
hadn’t really mattered. They were together. But recently, they’d talked family.
And in talking family…a wedding seemed the thing to do.
And
if they were going to have a wedding, it was going to be at Donegal Plantation.
