Merry Samnhain, All Hallows' Eve, Hallowe'en (yes, an apostrophe because it is a contraction of the original All Hallows' Evening.) I'm not just pretty; I know stuff, too.

Hurricane Sandy is on its way. I anticipate nothing more than some rain or snow. Not a stormageddon. I made a homemade vegan German chocolate cake for the occasion. Tonight, there is a new haunted house movie on BBC. The Secret of Crickley Hall. I enjoyed the book. I hope this is a better adaptation than the same author's Haunted, which is one of my favorite haunted house books but a very sucky adaptation. I'm not saying it was a bad movie; it just differed to much from the book; I enjoyed the original storyline, especially the ending, and I did not like the movie ending at all. The movie makers changed too many instrumental points. We shall see.

I've been working with my animals. They are great company. Peanut butter sandwiches are enjoyed by the birds!

And work continues on my new haunted house book. I won't give too much away, but I will say some of the scenes are disturbing and disgusting. Just wait.

I enjoyed myself at the Masquerade Ball to raise money for the building fund of our local no-kill shelter. Here's a picture. I didn't wear my mask for too long as you can see. (There's more blog after the picture.)

Tonight, I'm going to relax and eat cake and watch the haunted house movie. It should be a pleasant evening, especially if it starts raining or snowing and I light candles. Set the scene, if you will. Nothng better than a chilly autumn evening with candles, cake, and a creepy movie.

My mind has been thinking more and more of an outside fireplace. Ever since I've spent time at my friend's house, where he has a nice chiminea and builds these fires, I've thought about an outdoor fireplace of my own. And I have the perfect spot for it, too, where I can sit outside on a winter night and enjoy the snow as well as a blazing fire.

Now that is a cool outdoor fireplace. Although, I would love a huge one built out of stone, but I don't have an estate right now. Maybe one day I will have the manor I want and then I will have the big outdoor fireplace, as well as the pond and waterfall.

Okay, that's about it, my minions. Make sure you enjoy the holiday and...

Nighty-nightmares...

    I'm a writer and I write strange, dark tales; my work has been described as "quiet horror" and I like the sound of that.
    Someone once complimented my writing, saying my second book Angels of the Seventh Dawn is "Sleek, sinister, and seductive."
    I've also been told I am a cross between Clive Barker and Anne Rice. A compliment, indeed.
