Menagerie Book Tour: Day Thirteen With Teri Polen

Published on February 28, 2023February 28, 2023 by Joan Hall

Hey, Readers. Today is the thirteenth and final stop of the Menagerie book tour. As you know, it’s a collection of thirteen stories, released on Friday, January 13. (And no, I’m not superstitious.) Today’s story is titled “Mystery Woman.” It’s in the supernatural suspense genre.

My host today is Teri Polen. Many of you know her for her annual month-long feature, Bad Moon Rising, but she is also the author of several YA books. Don’t let the genre fool you, adults can enjoy these books as well. Teri also contributed to the time travel anthology, Quantum Wanderlust which I was also a part of. You can view a list of all her stories by visiting her Amazon Author page.

Like me, Teri is a cat lover and often posts about her fur baby, Bond. Yes, Bond, as in James Bond.

Published on February 14, 2023February 14, 2023 by Joan Hall

Hey, Readers! Happy Valentine’s Day! We’re at the mid-point of the shortest month of the year, and the Menagerie book tour continues. Today’s featured story is “Without a Trace,” a mystery/suspense story that takes place in the 1980s. I’m visiting with another of my fellow Story-Empire colleagues, Beem Weeks.

Beem joined the group last year and has been a valuable member. He’s published books of short stories, a novel, a novelette, and has contributed to various anthologies for other authors. He is also an editor and audio/video producer for Fresh Ink Group publishing. Beem’s book Strange Highway is coming up on my TBR list and I look forward to reading this collection.
