Hardcover Print: $30.00 When one door closes, another opens… or so they say. But what happens if that door is stuck? Some choices you are forced to confront, no matter how ugly or dangerous. Such is the doorstep of Alyson Bell, a tenacious teenage girl new to the rural town of Hollow Creek; a town rumored to be haunted by a ghostly spirit and a cat with more than the usual nine lives. Alyson tests her own strengths and weaknesses as she transitions into her new life, facing everyday teenage obstacles (bosoms and boyfriends), and hurdling over supernatural mysteries only she is predestined to encounter. Does one girl have what it takes to piece together the myriad of clues left behind in her century-old house to end a cat-astrophic curse, vanquish an evil soul-stealing vampire and still have time for a relationship with her new boyfriend, all before the next full moon?

Print: $21.50 It is the season of Samhain, also celebrated as Hallowe’en. The crisp of Fall is in the air, and the veil weaves thinly between the world of the living and the land of the dead. Spirits are amiss in the town of Hollow Creek when a portal that should’ve stayed closed is accidentally opened. A medieval knight, misplaced in time, links sixteen year-old Alyson to an extraordinary discovery about herself, and her family.
Embarking on a quest for knowledge, Alyson learns that sometimes in this magical world, you have to close your eyes… to see. And to forgive, you must first open your heart.
Join Alyson Bell in The Curse of the Moonless Knight, the second in the mis-adventures of Alyson Bell series. More info at kristingroulx.com

Author's notes:
The Ghost of Colby Drive, an Alyson Bell novel, is written in teen Chick Lit style. This young adult paranormal romance novel is approximately 65,000 words. Readers who enjoy authors Katie Maxwell, Sophie Kinsella and Ann Brashares will certainly take interest in this fresh novel. It is targeted for girls aged 13-18, but appropriate for anyone 13+, as this novel delves into some deeper teen issues and is not appropriate for a younger audience. Several of my characters are still trying to find their own identity and their own paths in life, while learning to cope with their problems and the problems of others around them. Some topics are very deep, but I feel teens need a starting point for their conversations; something that helps them open up and see that they are not alone in this world.
I have recently begun writing “The Curse of the Moonless Knight,” an Alyson Bell sequel devoted readers will fall in love with. For a special sneak peek, visit my writers.net web profile at:
