Sara - that was the white and purple candle bits?
BadBarb - I used to do seances when I was a kid at sleepovers
Dixie Kane - Hi, Freddie
RobinDOwens - Hi, Moose!
BadBarb - we used to scare ourselves
Cissy - O has the next question (Simpson, moosehog in line)
Dixie Kane - A seance is where a group of people try to contact a dead person
O - What made you write in the first place. Did you hear voices or just see Ghosts
Dixie Kane - The candle bits were candle magic. I got that from Hailey North
BadBarb - yup, you sit around a circle, usually with a candle and hold hands
Caffey - thanks. i saw everyone using the word and didn't know what it meant!
moosehog - Barb .... me too . And I refuse to buy that Owija board game too .
Mac - Generally seen in movies as a cirlce of letters with yes and no with a glass or something used as the indicator...everyone sits in a circle around it and places one finger on the glass or object and they take turns asking questions of the s.
BadBarb - didnt you used to play with those too?
sha - Freddie has to go get something to eat he wishes you the best
BadBarb - those were spooky
Dixie Kane - I used the seance so my ghost could introduce himself
Mac - Did that help?
Caffey - awesome Mac, thanks!
moosehog -
SharonB - MY sister had a Owija board...far too spooky
Caffey - nope Barb
BadBarb - did you ever see anything when you did seances Mac and Moose?
moosehog - I can't go by them in the store without cringing .
Cissy - Simpson has the next question ( moosehog in line)
Dixie Kane - Ouija board are scary
RobinDOwens - Excellent idea, Dixie.
Caffey - this book scary <g>
O - Hey my question was not answered
Hunt4Me2 - hello everyone
moosehog - I believe in ghosts ...I lived in a house that was haunted . Realtor even had to advertise it as such when it sold . Weird things went on there .
BadBarb - hi hunt
Dixie Kane - Not scary, funny
Cissy - Hi Hunt Welcome to our chat with Dixie Kane! We're talking to Dixie tonight about her new release, DREAMING OF YOU. We're operating on protocol, so if you have questions for Dixie, just type ? and I'll call on you in turn.
Mac - Oujia boards are not nice things to play with...basically the same idea, only a baord of wood witht he letters engraved or drawn on, the indicator is a spade shaped piece with three tiny legs and a circle cut out, the letter under the circle is the one you read....supposedly, they are a door way to another domain, and are most often used by evil spirits to trick people into inviting them in. Supposedly you can only get rid of one by burning it.
Mary f - Hello Hunt
Caffey - Hunt
Lydia F - I ask a Owija board what time someone was going to call and they called at that time. Scared me to death.
RobinDOwens - Hi, Hunt.
sha - Hello Hunt
Mac - Welcome to the Occult 101. Anymore questions? lol
Lydia F - HI Hunt
moosehog - Noone would be there and the room would get cold and you could smell perfume really bad . Things moved . Doors opened and closed . You could hear a woman's voice talking . Even called the police a time or two .

moosehog - And I sure hope noone asked this because I wasn't here .VBG.
RobinDOwens - Good question, Moose.
Cissy - she wanted to know if your books were funny, Dixie. I said YES!
Dixie Kane - I didn't have any input, except hair color which they got wrong But I like the cover. It lets you know it's a funny book
moosehog - thanks Robin
Cissy - I think the cover's perfect
Sara - I wasn't going to mention the blonde guy, Dixie!
Mary f - How can they get the color wrong when you tell them?
Sara - But I LOVE the cartoon covers. Makes me pick the book up!
Hunt4Me2 - HELLO SHARONNNNN ....kinda like saying hello to myself
Dixie Kane - I think I like the cover for Chasing Lily better. When I was Linda Kay, I had a John DeSalvo cover. That was yummy.
SharonB - I will have to read this book...love to lol!
Dixie Kane - Mary F--I wish I knew
sha - I enjoy the cartoon covers but I'd buy your books even if they had a boring cover because the text will well make up for the cover
