“Midnights in October - eerie nightly escapes, by Patricia Bossano is a delightful descent into eerie madness. Each of the fantastical, scintillating vignettes, is a wicked little gem—disturbing, thought-provoking, and just the right amount of jarring. These deliciously creepy, clever tales are perfect for those October nights when the shadows seem to have a mind of their own. Prepare yourself for a thrilling chill! I myself, was not prepared; I'd never read such a thing. I couldn't put it down... I read it with my mouth hanging open in awe and had to keep shoving snacks in to soothe myself. Unsettling, delicious, and fabulously original is how I would describe this latest endeavor by the indomitable and prolific author Patricia Bossano!” —Sherry Hogg, author of Child of Mine

“A mysterious sparkle on the horizon of the gloaming, haunting, enchanting, and thought-provoking. A must-read for those craving sprinkles of magic throughout the day to escape the nerve-racking and mundane.” —V. G. Anderson, author of The Light in the Sound

“Take a handful of candy corn, dear reader, and be "swallowed whole" in Bossano's Midnights in October: eerie nightly escapes. You are forewarned, though you may "wear skepticism like a shield," in 55 words or fewer, Bossano will "turn you from the joyous light," sending you through a "labyrinth of recollections," chased by the "clacking of bone-on-bone," leaving you "all but devoured" in her "fatal, inky gawk."” —Shea Robinson, author of Dance with Me

“I loved it. I've read it 3 times now, each time I seem to read it from a different point of view, coming to a different conclusion about the meaning behind the words. The first time I thought it was political, then when I re-read it, it was about female power and strength. The third time, I felt the magic. To say this piece of work is thoughtful is an understatement, as the reader, our own imagination can run riot. Spellbinding.” —Karen Lott, ARC reader

“A candle flickers in the dark; shadows whisper fragments of stories lost to time. In this spectral collection, Patricia Bossano crafts fleeting glimpses into the supernatural, each fifty-five words or less, yet powerful enough to linger long after the final syllable fades. Read carefully! These flashes of the uncanny may refuse to let you go.” —Vince Font, Chief Editor, Glass Spider Publishing

There is so much wisdom on every page, and it's the kind of knowledge that women of a certain age (like me) will benefit greatly from.
I learned so much about my own body that I had to wonder how I got to be nearly 60 without even suspecting some of these things.
What a way to rock my world, Kimberly, as soon as I was done reading it I scheduled an appointment with a (bioidentical) hormone replacement therapy provider. Thank you so much for writing this book!
This fabulous Book is also available in Spanish “El Buen Sexo Nunca Pasa De Moda

El Legado de Nahia, el tercer tomo de la serie El Legado de las Hadas, profundiza en una suntuosa historia multigeneracional sobre relaciones familiares, pérdidas, identidad y el eterno tira y afloja entre el mundo místico de las hadas y la fuerza primordial de la dimensión humana. La escritura es exuberante, poética por momentosy sorprendentemente realista por otros. Bossano no rehúye el lirismo, pero nunca resulta pretencioso. —Literary Titan

Bossano demuestra que la fantasía no necesita construcciones elaboradas para crear asombro. El país de las hadas existe en la periferia de nuestro propio mundo y lo percibimos a través de nuestros sentidos en lugar de portales mágicos o habilidades especiales: es un recordatorio de la magia que existe más allá de las impresiones cotidianas. — RW Magazine

Couldn’t stop reading. Enjoy very much Maggie’s life and her family.

Qué entretenido es mirar el cielo durante una noche estrellada; "Cuentan mis Estrellas" nos invita a hacer justo eso.
Al ubicar las constelaciones que dominan cada signo del zodíaco empieza la legendaria conversación sobre los rasgos que imparten sobre cada quien. Es la magia celeste que se mece en nuestra imaginación arrullada por el canto de los grillos en la quietud de un cielo cuajado de estrellas.

A superb handbook in that every chapter offers a great deal of food for thought. There are nuggets of wisdom in every paragraph, bite-size quotes from artists, philosophers, and authors the world over, strung together to stimulate the reader’s (student’s) mind.
In chapter 7, The Mystery, Patricia talks about the ‘intelligence of the universe’ and that topic, more than the others, spoke to me because I believe we are one with the world—humankind.
We share in a collective wisdom and as artists we contribute our genetic memories through writing, painting, etc., in the hopes that they might resonate with like-minded others.
“Myth, Magic, and Metaphor” is like a personal Creative Writing course that I will revisit often. It is so encouraging to be affirmed in one’s artistic journey and Patricia’s book has done just that!

Cuando Maité cumple 15 años, el don de cuna que recibió de su hada madrina es activado. Maité empieza a tener sueños lúcidos y aunque al principio el don le presenta una experiencia horrible, a medida que avanza la historia sus sueños se convierten en una herramienta muy útil que le permite descubrir los secretos mágicos de sus antepasados. Me encantó viajar con esta chica y animarla a lo largo de su travesía. Desde la terrible pérdida que desata una inmensa aventura hasta el último segundo colmado de descubrimientos y sorpresas.

...La autora, Patricia Bossano, mantiene hábilmente un equilibrio entre los elementos fantásticos y la maduración emocional y psicológica de Maité. Su escritura es vívida y evocadora, mezclando sin problemas lo tangible con lo etéreo y evocando un amplio espectro de emociones...
"Un Don de Cuna" es una historia fascinante que armoniza la evolución de los personajes, la intriga de la trama y la prosa poética. Explora elocuentemente temas de auto-descubrimiento y comprensión del lugar de uno en los reinos visibles e invisibles. La novela se erige como una celebración del encanto perdurable de la fantasía y su capacidad para reflejar los aspectos más profundos de la condición humana.

Every sentence felt meaningful and well-constructed and I ended up reading the second half of the book in about one day because I couldn't put it down. I'm happy I read it and feel even more excited to promote it now that I know it's so well done.

…and in lighting candles, and in trusting your intentions to a new moon that will see them manifested during the full moon. Love and Homegrown Magic covers seven decades of Maggie’s life, in which religion, superstition, and folk magic harmonize with harsh realities and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughters. A satisfying read that will stay with you for a while.
