About Tempestuous Tales:

An urban legend becomes a nightmare when three women face tragic consequences: an unexplainable vanishing, a sadistic marriage, and a visit from beyond the grave, after an ancient talisman grants their wishes. Tempestuous Tales adds a modern twist to three classic short stories: The Monkey’s Paw by W.W. Jacobs, Night Drive by Will F. Jenkins and Bluebeard’s Bride by Sarah Holland, based on the works of Charles Perrault.

Paperback coming November 2011. Download a free Tempestuous Tales mobile phone or desktop wallpaper here! (

@Shary. I know , right? Just in time for Halloween! I’m just honored I was able to finally make a dream come true, and using inspiration from W.W. Jacobs and Will F. Jenkins’ short stories, you can’t go wrong. Hope you enjoy!

I hate scary business myself. But my husband loves it! I will suggest this to Alex. But he hides under the covers and I go check out the things that go bump in the night.

  Yes, do tell Alex. The timing is perfect too.

Signed up on shewrites! LOVE IT. Thanks for that @Totsymae! And Linda, Tempestuous Tales is scary, but it’s also got a little romance, some humor and diva kick butt action. These ladies fight back! Hope you enjoy (vicariously through your husband). LOL!

  Cool…We’ll be hanging around there together now. I’m gonna get the
  book when it comes out, Kandie. Don’t have an e-reader yet. I’m so
  tired of hearing myself say that, I just need to order one but I just
  never do. I think I just have a thing with turning pages.

    You know. I have a thing for turning pages to (have not bought an e-reader BUT I did download the FREE kindle for pc app http://www.amazon.com/KindleForPC b/c even though I enjoy paperback, every now & then an ebook is okay too! LOL And this is free so…why not?

I had a fetish once but misplaced it and don’t know where it is. Everybody has a little “bad” in em. How much and how often one releases it, sometimes can cause problems

Looks like the perfect Halloween gift.
One of the women looks like that Housewife from Atlanta whose name escapes me at the moment – the one with the clothing line.
