I am very happy to be a part of Michelle Muto’s tour of The Haunting Season.
Be sure and scroll down to the interview and the two, that’s right, 2 Giveaways.
I have a love affair with trees, so some spooky stuff is always desirable. The silhouette in the distance is definitely threatening to me. Is it good or bad? Read on and decide for yourself.
Book Blurb
I love finding out about authors, so I chose to give you the chance to get to know Michell Muto a little better. See the interview below and be sure to say hi to Michelle.
Welcome Michelle. I would like to introduce you to my readers.
How did you come up with the idea for your book?
During a trip to Savannah, I visited the Sorrel-Weed house, which is reported to be Savannah’s most haunted house.
What is different about this book compared to others you’ve written?
For starters, The Haunting Season is New Adult. Secondly, the main characters are not supernatural beings.
Most unique or unusual research you’ve ever done for The Haunting Season?
Besides visiting the Sorrel-Weed house? Asking a former mortician about embalming methods in the early to mid 1900’s and how embalming and burial procedures have changed and why. It’s both fascinating and a bit gruesome.
What is the hardest part about writing?
Keeping my butt in the chair for as many hours as I need to per day. Resisting the urge to jump on the internet when I’m having difficulty with a scene.
If you could meet any author who is no longer living, who would it be?
Tough call. Edgar Allan Poe, probably. But I’d also like to meet Rod Serling and Alfred Hitchcock.
Can you tell us a little about your next project?
It’s a adult dark fantasy novel with action, castles, and gargoyles. It’ll be out early this summer.
If you could do one thing over again in regards to writing, what would it be?
Write faster.
Vanilla or chocolate?
Chocolate.
Food you like the most? The least?
I tend to like Italian food the most. I can’t stand brussel sprouts or peas.
Supernatural
What weapon would you choose in the zombie apocalypse?
Harry Potter’s wand or maybe Dean Winchester. He’d be a formidable weapon against zombies, right? <grin>
What scares you?
Humanity. The way people treat others, animals, or the environment.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Michelle has always loved storytelling. When she was a child, her favorite stories were of monsters and things that lurked in the dark. Telling stories often frightened her classmates and got her into a lot of trouble with her teachers. They had no sense of humor.
As an adult, Michelle traded her love of writing for the corporate life where she was an IT professional. Today, she’s doing what she loves best – writing and storytelling.
Michelle grew up in Chicago, but currently lives in NE Georgia with her husband and their two dogs. She loves scary books, funny movies, sports cars, chocolate, dogs, and changes of season.

You and trees:)
I’ve seen many things in the clouds. One was a UFO!
In the trees, too many things that scared me. It’s funny what our imagination conjures up. Or is it real?
I’m curious about the figure in the distance on the cover, but what about the wispy one the title is written in!
Thanks. I thought I carried the creepy throughout. lol Nice catch on the ghost? in the title.
Love a great interview with an author. So interesting to hear about Michelle’s inspiration for the book.
I see images in clouds all the time. It’s why I love to stare at the clouds. Silhouettes of trees often spark my imagination too. I’m with you a hundred percent. Sherry! Great post!
Great minds think alike. LOL It’s amazing to look around and see all the free things right in front of our eyes, just waiting for us to take a moment to notice and enjoy.
Nope. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Midu. Glad you stopped by. Good luck.
