Denise N. Tapscott is my Woman In Horror today! She has written some fantastic books, promotes other authors, is an actress, and is part of one of the greatest podcasts around. There are plenty of links above that will take you into her special world, and I'll expound on some of them below.

First, let's get to Denise's great books.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MHD9YQ8/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0

GYPSY KISSES AND VOODOO WISHES is a great dark fantasy tale filled with suspense and horror.  

Book description:

Can any good transpire when Romani magic collides with Voodoo Magic?  For Grandmother Zenobia, the answer is unclear.

The year is 1890 in Carrefour Parish, Louisiana.  A Voodoo high priestess with a mysterious past, Grandmother Zenobia conceals her magical powers from her grandson Will. She wants him to have a "normal" family life, including savory Southern dinners and festive church gatherings. When Will reveals that he's in love with a girl named Syeira, Grandmother is overjoyed. In her excitement over a future wedding, Grandmother fails to find out a crucial piece information.  Syeira is not a New Orleans local, she's from the Camlo family.

On the other side of the bayou, Queen Patia Camlo, is furious when her daughter reveals her relationship with Will, who is not Romani. To the Camlo tribe, The Traveler way is the only way.  Desperate to put an end to their romance, Patia casts a spell so effective that even the great Grandmother Zenobia can't fix the damage it creates.

Grandmother Zenobia must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to retaliate against Patia, as well avenge her family, without losing her soul.

THE PRICE OF SALVATION is a charming thriller. This is Denise's first short story. She did a great job with this tale. 

Book description:Los Angeles socialite Rhoda Jurel is deathly ill. From herbalists to elite specialists, no one can determine the cause of her sickness. When visiting her friendly neighborhood psychic, she is warned that her only choice is to see Voodoo High Priestess Grandmother Zenobia. Join Rhoda on her path to finding the price of salvation, if you dare.

******

My review of this great short story is:

"Denise N. Tapscott knocks it out of the ball-park with her refreshing read The Price of Salvation! This short tale has horror, humor, and even history - all in the right places. Grandmother Zenobia is my favorite Voodoo High Priestess. She'll be yours, too!"

******

Denise's Amazon bio:

Denise was born and raised in California. She left her heart in San Francisco, but somehow managed to leave her soul in New Orleans. When she's not creating and cultivating her characters, she enjoys dining on spicy tuna rolls, sharing a bottle of red wine with friends and watching the latest flick (especially scary films). From time to time this radiant left-handed pirate will even challenge others to a fencing match or two. But, watch out. This Gemini is determined to win!

Often referencing her favorite quotes, below is Denise's favorite motto by Hans Christian Andersen:

"Just living is not enough...one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

Denise joins Marc Abbott, Kirk Johnson, and Steven Van Patten on the great podcast Beef, Wine And Shenanigans where they discuss some great stuff. Some is sad, some is funny, and some is serious. However, everything is fantastic. This is a podcast you don't want to miss!

I hope you read the great things that Denise has to say in all the links above. She is a dynamic go-getting woman who I am glad to call my friend. 

Everything that Denise N. Tapscott does and says makes her a truly wonderful Woman In Horror!

Terri DelCampo is my Woman In Horror Today! As you can see from all the links above, Terri is a busy woman. This year I'll be including links to some of my previous Woman In Horror posts. This way I'll be able to include some great interviews and other blasts from the past. I'll start this post out with a link to the very interesting Woman In Horror post of Terri's from last year. This includes a superb interview. It's a must read.

https://blazingowlpress.blogspot.com/2021/01/terri-delcampo-woman-in-horror.html

Terri has been very busy this year with some new pet projects. She is an activist for many causes, one of which is the green movement. She started up a Green Geezers blog that has articles from her and, more recently, some from me. Many causes and great people in the environmental world are brought to light within its pages. Check this out at:

https://greengeezers.blogspot.com/

Another passion of Terri's is to help stamp out real-life horror. You'll see her memes all over the internet attacking the evils that exist within this crazy and oftentimes evil world we live in. She gets extremely upset about gun shootings in schools, as we all should. Read some of her thoughts on her blog.

https://terridelcampo.blogspot.com/ 

There is much more to read on her Twitter page.

https://twitter.com/TerriDelCampo

This personal Facebook page includes more of her thoughts.

https://www.facebook.com/terri.delcampo 

Here is one of Terri's memes. She's not about to stop her condemnation of evil.

To further jump into the fray, Terri is writing fiction that focuses on these and many other topics. Keep your eyes peeled for these. 

******

Terri's Amazon Author Page includes many outstanding books.

https://www.amazon.com/Terri-DelCampo/e/B00NDX02AY?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1580427255&sr=1-1

Some of these I spotlighted in last year's Woman In Horror post. Not wanting to be redundant, I have included some of her other books that I really love. 

Broken Old Broad Busts A Beat: HO - PO (Horror Poems) is one of them.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Y7WT6HS/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i5

A handful of cobwebby rhymes and verse

Your yearning for ookiness these will nurse.

Not to be read by light of day

But in in a dark nook, tucked away

Read each one and when you're through

Terri has novels and stories for you.

******

Terri has written some great poems in this collection.

Next is:

Morbid Metamorphosis: Terrifying Tales Of Transformation

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071FDMD6V/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0

Terri's story, The Skelly Effect, is one of her best ones. This anthology is a must read!

Metamorphosis occurs every day as caterpillars become sweet fluttering butterflies, tadpoles become gorgeous frog princes and chameleons become one with the beauty of nature – but you won’t find any of that here.

The transformations you’re about to witness are unnatural, sometimes gruesome and deeply psychological. They will make you question reality and take your mind places it was never meant to go.

Terrifying Tales of Transformation from Greg Chapman * Roy C. Booth & R. Thomas Riley * Terri DelCampo * Dave Gammon * Nancy Kilpatrick * Rod Marsden * Jo-Anne Russell * M.J. Preston * Stacey Turner * Tina Piney * Suzanne Robb * Franklin E. Wales * Donna Marie West * Suzie Lockhart * Cameron Trost * Daniel I. Russell * Simon Dewar * Amanda J. Spedding * Ken MacGregor * Erin Shaw * Gregory L. Norris * Nickolas Furr

******

I could go on and on about all of Terri's published works and her books to come. She certainly has many. Make sure to read her interview on her last year's Woman In Horror post, check out the ones I highlighted there, and peruse other books displayed on Amazon.

And keep your peepers wide open for her new writings that are on the way.

Terri DelCampo is a true Woman In Horror!

WOMAN IN HORROR SERIES RETURNS

 

In the past, February has been Women In Horror Month. Last year was the last official year for this great organization showcasing fantastic women in all aspects of horror, whether it be writing, film work, or any of the other things that make this genre what it is. I had my own project which I called Woman In Horror. I wasn't sure how to present my Woman In Horror posts this year. I'm changing things around a bit. I will have no yearly designations. Instead, I will continue to add in posts about the great women in horror. They will be spread out over the course of time and not confined to a single month. 

Woman In Horror returns. You will meet some fascinating women. I'm sure that I will meet many new women to showcase. I will include some snippets from the past and up-to-date material.  

This will be a fun ride. Join me as I present fantastic women at the top of their game.
