October Girls was recently featured at The Frugal E-reader. Thanks, Elizabeth!
Reader Neal Hock said, "It's very much a 'trailer-trash' Harry Potter type of book. And if you think Harry got into some mischief, wait until you meet Crystal and Bone. This book packs in a ton of fun for all ages."

Bone wants to play
I'm still very early into the second book of the October Girls series, and I don't have it all figured out yet but Bone will take more center stage. She got cheated out of a lot of groovy grown-up things, as can happen when you're dead at 16, but in this one she gets a chance to live out a few of her unfulfilled fantasies. However, not all of them lead to happy ever after...
I'm also looking for books similar to mine, so if you know any funny paranormal YA, please enter them in the comments so I can go read them. Thanks!

October Girls: Crystal & Bone
Five days until Halloween and all hell is about to break loose.
And it’s all Crystal’s fault.
Momma warned her not to consort with the dead and tried to teach her the magic spells that would close the portal to the afterlife. But Crystal doesn’t want to be a trailer-trash witch like Momma. She has dreams of going to community college and escaping the Appalachian town of Parson’s Ford.
Her best friend Bone is only too happy to escape the afterlife and help Crystal break the rules. Bone died too young, and she’ll do whatever it takes to remain among the living.
Then a teen movie maker comes to Parson’s Ford, and he has a very special project in mind: a horror movie starring a real ghost. The kids who watch his movies turn into brainwashed zombies. And to totally complicate matters, Crystal thinks he’s kind of a hunk, and she’s afraid her boyfriend Pettigrew only loves her because of Momma’s magic spells.
Now it’s Halloween, the night when the portal to the afterlife is widest, and somebody’s been messing with Momma’s potions. The fate of the world is in Crystal’s hands, but she hasn’t been paying attention to her lessons. And a mysterious figure in the afterlife is urging Bone to stay loyal to her own kind instead of to Crystal.
The movie is rolling, the creatures are stirring, and the brainwashed teenagers are ready to welcome a new star from the other side of the grave.
Crystal and Bone must overcome drama queens, coffin cuties, and mangled magic if they want to remain best friends forever—but at this rate, forever may not last much longer.
Book One in the October Girls series!
