As a speculative fiction/horror writer, I get pretty busy in September and October. Libraries, bookstores, and others ask we writers of chills and fears to help celebrate the lead up to Halloween. It’s been fun this year; I’ve been to several libraries, a couple bookstores, and held a book release party for Witch in the Wind in conjunction with the Halloween Party for the local activist group where I live, Equality Downers Grove.
I’ll be settling down soon, with fewer appearances and time to enjoy the holidays.
Before we turn the page on Halloween, however, I want to say Happy Halloween to all of you! The days are growing shorter. Many traditions believe(d) the gap between the living and dead shortens this time of year. I can’t wait to greet Trick-or-Treaters at my house! And I hope you will consider reading one of my tales of ghosts, witches, or vampires as part of your celebration, too!
Embrace the moment! Happy Halloween!!!
