From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Halfway Bitten (Halfway Hunted, #3) . . .

We're back for the waffles, the magic, the nights of the full moon, the mystery, and the drive to do the right thing.  Carlie is back. The cast of characters are right there with her. This time were on an ancient hunt to solve a mystery long since closed in time. But while trying to solve one incident there was another that created a deadly vibe in the air for Carlie. This time around Carlie may not have all the answers. 

Maggert added to the series that I have come to love. I get a some humor, mystery, insight, Grans, Carlie and of course her latest activities good, bad, and indifferent. This time one crazy warlock, a few beautiful panther, a chase that puts Carlie in the sights, a few chilling spells, and one thrilling adventure. 

I had so much fun here. I look forward to more adventures of Carlie. I get a lot of what I love in a good read that I don't have to take so seriously or stress about what may come out the next page or two. I can read at leisure and enjoy each new revelation. Terry Maggert has a follower of this series, wherever it may go. I love Carlie's adventures. 

From The Book Junkie Reads . . .on Narration of Halfway Hunted (Halfway Witchy, #3) . . .

Erin Spencer has returned for more of Carlie and her antics this time around. The sarcasim, waffles, magic, and Halfway, NY would not quite be the same without her inflections, timing, cadence, and inflections of warmth, humor, witt, and of course her own flare of magic. There feels like a connection between Erin and the story on the pages. For me, Erin's voice is that of Carlie. She's the key factor to making this audio read climb over just being a normal reading. 

BLURB

Welcome to Halfway; where the waffles are golden, the moon is silver, and magic is just around every corner.

A century old curse is broken, releasing Exit Wainwright, an innocent man trapped alone in time.

Lost and in danger, he enlists Carlie, Gran, and their magic to find the warlock who sentenced him to a hundred years of darkness. The hunter becomes the hunted when Carlie's spells awaken a cold-blooded killer intent on adding another pelt to their gruesome collection: hers.

But the killer has never been to Halfway before, where there are three unbreakable rules:

1. Don't complain about the diner's waffles.

2. Don't break the laws of magic.

3. Never threaten a witch on her home turf.

Can Carlie solve an ancient crime, defeat a ruthless killer and save the love of her life from a vampire's curse without burning the waffles?

Come hunt with Carlie, and answer the call of the wild.

From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Halfway Bitten (Halfway Witchy, #2) . . .

I have the chance to get immersed in Carlie's world again of magic, mystery and more. I had a heck of a great time visiting with Carlie. With that said of course came Gran. She was still wise and knowing. We get some Wulric. Lots of mystery. And more characters to know. There are clowns, vamps, dead bodies, with one heck of a mystery surrounding them. Carlie was still my girl. She was full of compassion and anger. She felt so much and did what she could. She knew that this new day was going to be a big one. She could feel it.

I love things from Carlie POV. It makes for a deeper immersion in to what she thinks and feels. I think this was why I was able to connect so much with her. I love her character.

From The Book Junkie Reads . . .on Narration of Halfway Bitten (Halfway Witchy, #2) . . .

This narration, Erin Spencer, for me was a key factor in my enjoyment of this audio book. As I have stated before, in this series, Erin brings Carlie to life and makes her presence known. I could feel Carlie come to life though this narration. She gave Carlie life with her inflections, tone, moderation. I believe that she interpreted this character very well. I find Erin to be a perfect fit for the Carlie character. She also has a way with the other characters in the story.  It just that Carlie was my main concern.

BLURB

The circus came to Halfway, and they brought the weird. When clowns, vampires, and corpses start piling up in town, Carlie has to break away from her boyfriend, Wulfric, to bring her witchy skills to the table- or grill, as the case may be. When the body of a young woman washes up in the lake, it unleashes a spiral of mystery that will bring Carlie, Gran, and Wulfric into a storm of magical warfare. Spells will fly. Curses will rain. Amidst it all, Carlie will make waffles, protect her town, and find out if a man from the distant past can join her in happy ever after. With love and honor at stake, Carlie has no peer.

MY INTERVIEW WITH TERRY MAGGERT

How would you describe your style of writing to someone that has never read your work?

I’m a history professor with an addiction to grand gestures on the page. I love revenge, and love seeing villains get it. I mean, like “squished on the windshield of life” kind of results. To me, good guys don’t have to lose in order to create great books. I also love the details of life that make characters real. For example, my main character Carlie likes waffles. Ring Hardigan likes pie. Risa likes wine. Details make us human, even three dimensional. I like that.

What are some of your writing/publishing goals for this year? Three novels, three audiobooks, three short stories, and a dump truck filled with coffee.

Make that two trucks.

Do you feel that writing is an ingrained process or just something that flows naturally for you? It’s a muscle, so, yes-- you can train yourself to write better. Some people would argue that you can train yourself to write, period. For me, it’s a blend. I love writing as much as I love reading, and that’s a high mark.

Based on that, I write better with each novel, but the actual kernel, the seed-- I think, for me, it was from birth. My motto on writing is, “I lived until I was full. Then I started writing.”

Do you have a character that you have been working on for a long time that still isn't quite ready, but fills you with excitement to work on the story? YES. Wait, sort of. Okay, I have a character named Delphine. Short version; she grew into something amazing. Love her. Everything about her fascinates me, so I’m diving back into her past, during the Belle Epoque of Paris. There were incredible women called Les Grande Horizontales-- courtesans who made enough money to fill the River Seine, and spent all of it, too. They traded in so much more than sex-- for them, it could be secrets, power, status. Delphine (she’s in The Fearless series) is bound for glory. I can’t wait to share this chapter of her life with you.

Where would you spend one full year, if you could go ANYWhere? What would you do with this time? Let’s assume I’m single without a bride, son, and herd of pets. If that’s the case, I return to Australia.

You know how people say trips changes their lives? For me, that was Australia. I lost my mother, got divorced, and was just floating. My time in Australia was like a rebirth. I saw the cities, the desert, and the water, and all of it brought me back to earth in a way I never thought possible.

Can you share you next creative project(s)? If yes, can you give a few details? Halfway Drowned, Moondiver, and The Dead Heart are all on tap for this year-- you can find them on my Goodreads page.. I don’t sleep much, nor do I want to!
