Do you do anything special for Halloween? Do you use it as an opportunity to market your books?

After all these decades of having to stay home and give out candy or take my own kids trick-or-treating, I have never got into the habit of doing anything special for Halloween in terms of parties. I wear Halloween accessories to work that week and sometimes while answering the door on the big night, although not a full costume. For book promotion, I don't do anything intensive but do take advantage of October promotional opportunities that arise. This is a good month for publishers to release horror and supernatural-themed works. Erotic romance publisher Ellora's Cave has just published a shapeshifter anthology, Transformations, containing a kitsune novella by me, "Foxfire." A kitsune is a fox spirit in Japanese mythology. They are noted for their sensual natures and have many intriguing powers in addition to changing shape between human and fox.
