    About the Author

    Mae Clair opened a Pandora’s Box of
    characters when she was a child and never looked back.  Her father, an artist
    who tinkered with writing, encouraged her to create make-believe worlds by
    spinning tales of far-off places on summer nights beneath the stars.
    Mae loves creating character-driven
    fiction in settings that vary from contemporary to mythical. Wherever her pen
    takes her, she flavors her stories with mystery and romance. Married to her
    high school sweetheart, she lives in Pennsylvania and is passionate about
    cryptozoology, old photographs, a good Maine lobster tail and cats.

    Interview with Mae Clair

    Why did you write
    this book?
    I love mysteries and “what ifs.” When
    I was a kid, there was a house in our neighborhood that everyone said was
    haunted. There were always whispers of strange things going on there, and we
    (the kids) invented stories to feed those rumors. With Myth and Magic I wanted to capture the same feeling I had as a kid
    when I wondered if there really were ghosts in the house.
    I also wanted to write a book that
    included a lavish Halloween party. J
    Even though the novel is releasing
    now, during the summer, the story is set in the month of October and features a
    strong Halloween theme. I always wanted to write a tale centered on that
    holiday and spin a romantic tale from it.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I love thrillers that employ mystery and suspense. I also
    enjoy gothic romances with mystery. Usually any type of mystery will suck me
    into the story, and if the book happens to include a dashing or enigmatic hero,
    so much the better! J
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    That’s a toss-up between Aloysius Pendergast, a highly
    enigmatic Special Agent with the FBI who appears in a series of novels created
    by the author team of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and Gerald Tarrant, a
    courtly yet lethal undead sorcerer from the Coldfire Trilogy by C. S. Friedman.
    I love both characters so much I’ve read different books from each series
    multiple times.
    What are you working
    on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    My
    next release, FOOD FOR POE, should be out this November. It’s a Christmas
    novella/paranormal romance.
    After
    that I’ll be releasing A THOUSAND YESTERYEARS, book 1 in a three book series
    with a light romantic plot in each. The novels are set in 1982 and reference
    events involving UFOs, Men-in-Black and a creature called the Mothman. Each
    book has a standalone plot, the first book being a murder mystery. 
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
    AS CHILDREN THEY PLAYED GAMES OF MYTH AND MAGIC…
    Veronica Kent fell in love with Caith Breckwood when they were children. As a teenager, she was certain he was the man she was destined to marry. But a traumatic event from Caith’s past led him to fear a future together. He left Veronica, hoping to save her from a terrible fate. Twelve years later, Caith, now a P.I., is hired to investigate bizarre incidents at the secluded retreat Veronica manages. Returning to his hometown, Caith is forced to face his nightmares—and his feelings for the woman he’s always loved.
    THEN ONE DAY THE MONSTERS BECAME REAL.
    After the callous way Caith broke her heart, Veronica isn’t thrilled to see him again. But strange occurrences have taken a dangerous toll on business at Stone Willow Lodge. Forced to work together, Veronica discovers it isn’t ghostly apparitions that frighten her, but her passion for a man she has never forgotten. Or forgiven. Can two people with a tarnished past unearth a magical future?
