Hello, hello! And a happy Monday to you all!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween. I got to go Trick-or-Treating for the first time in years with my two and a half-year-old cousin. And I must say, I forgot how scary it can get for little, little kids. One of the porches we went to sported a mechanical scarecrow that pulled off its own head and laugh maniacally while its eyes glowed red. Which meant that I had to tote my cousin around on my hip the rest of the night. Poor guy.
Though I must say, I understand parent tax now. I might have snitched a thing or two out of this bucket.
Too be fair, that is a LOT of Reese's. ;)
So many things are happening this week! The whirlwind never seems to stop! It does seem fitting though that on the tail end of Halloween, my short story Hairline Cracks is being release in the anthology The Fall. There are scary, monstery things in the story. Plus some blood and guts. You can read it and a whole bunch of other cool stories by authors like Mindy McGinnis, Jean Oram and RC Lewis and many, many more HERE.
And, just in case you forgot what the cover looked like, here's another glimpse of the ominous awesomeness!
On a lighter and more pie-filled note: THIS WEEKEND IS YALLFEST! (I'm excited, can't you tell?)
You guys, last year was so much fun! There was pie and books and much celebration about all things young adult! And this year is going to be even better! There are 50 different authors coming in to share their thoughts on everything from spaceships and zombies to movie adaptations.
So if you're coming drop me a note and I'll keep an eye out for you! Last year I met a lot of faces I only knew from the online realm. And it was fabulous.

Mmmm. You handed out Reeses Pieces. Yum. We had a snow storm so I am happily still eating our chocolate. Yum! Need that extra insulation here. Brrr!
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for The Fall being out! Woot, Woot! Everyone grab a copy--Ryan's story is fabulous. Her fruit gusher image will stay with me for years--love it! (And you don't have to be a zombie fan to enjoy her story. :D )
Thanks for your kind words, Jean! Can't wait to read your story as well.
