Welcome to Glass House Press

The days continue to grow shorter and the warmth of the sun gradually begins to fade–which means we’re heading toward our favorite time of the year, AUTUMN. Fireplaces, hot cocoa, pumpkin bread, the holidays… Seriously, IS there a better time of year????

And then there’s October, which means H-A-LL-O-W-EE-N! And when we think Halloween, we think of all the evil things that go bump in the night soooooo we thought it would be fun to ask our authors to do a profile on the best and most horrible evil character in their worlds. Are you looking for a little bit of evil and villainous fun? Read on to discover our first two evil characters, created by authors Nikki Vogel and Kristalyn A. Vetovich!
