Also, their flavored coffees are a big hit with me for the Fall! I received a few flavors to try and think that they are all just perfect for this Fall! I really couldn’t choose my absolute favorite! The Café de Europa Caramel Macchiatto is a rich blend of vanilla and caramel and tastes delicious! The Café de Europa Hazlenut Creme Brulee also has the sweet caramel and a vanilla taste but also a hazelnut taste. I also tried the Café de Europa Parisian Vanilla, which was sweet and creamy vanilla. I like to drink this one and daydream that I am in Paris! Find these favorites of mine at Melitta.

#1 Paranormal books & $150 Paypal Cash Giveaway

October 6, 2015 By 1 Comment
Just in time for Halloween! You don’t want to miss this giveaway!

It’s that time of year when the ghost and spooks come out to play. What would you do if a paranormal being was haunting your house? Run? Hide? Confront them? Maybe you could take a page from some of the things the characters do in Michael Phillip Cash‘s paranormal books. Have you read them yet?

 The Hanging Tree. Set amid the eerie backdrop of Long Island, an area famously steeped in old legend, two young would-be lovers contemplate their future while visits from those who have come before them reveal the lure of fate…and the power of free will.
Remy Galway and her daughter Olivia are rebuilding their life after a failed marriage in a 300 year old cottage in historic Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. Little do they know, another occupant is lurking in the haven of their own home. Will the After House be their shelter or their tomb?

 

Julie and Brad Evans are house flippers. They buy low, clean out the old occupants junk, and try to make a profit. Enter Hemmings House on Bedlam Street in scenic Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. Too good a deal to pass up, but with an ominous secret. The old Victorian Mansion has dwellers that do not want to be dispossessed. As the house reveals it’s past, will the couples marriage survive The Flip?
Sometimes life, as well as death, is about second chances. Luckless Telly Martin doesn’t have a clue. An awful gambler trying to scrape by as a professional poker player, he becomes the protégé of world famous poker champion Clutch Henderson. The only catch…Clutch is a ghost. Telly and Clutch must navigate the seedy gambling underbelly of Las Vegas learning to trust each other in order to win the elusive International Series of Poker, repair their shattered personal relationships and find redemption in this life and the hereafter. 

You can read my review here.
Paul Russo’s wife just died. While trying to get his family’s life back in order, Paul is being tormented by a demon who is holding his wife’s spirit hostage on the other side. His fate is intertwined with an old haunted mansion on the north shore of Long Island called Stillwell Manor. Paul must find clues dating back hundreds of years to set his wife’s soul free.
Wes Rockville, a disgraced law enforcement agent, is given one last chance to prove himself and save his career when he’s reassigned to a 232 year old secret government organization. The Witches Protection Program. His first assignment: uncover a billion-dollar Cosmetics company’s diabolical plan of using witchcraft for global domination, while protecting its heiress Morgan Pendragon from her aunt’s evil deeds.
