Happy Samhain! Happy Halloween!

Halloween is my favorite holiday! I spent the majority of my childhood Halloweens at the local carnivals and haunted houses then worked them as a teen. What fun! It's been warm here in the Valley of the Sun but we're cooling down into the 80s (our normal) now so tonight will be great weather for all the spooks and goblins that will be out and about. I find it hard to concentrate on work with all the energy around me today and just want to be out celebrating.

If you haven't already, be sure and check out The Mask of Tamirella podiobook at www.podiobooks.com/title/mask. I'm thrilled at the 4 and 5 star ratings! Thanks to all my readers and listeners.

Happy Samhain to my pagan and wiccan readers. Have a wonderful day.

Happy writing and happy haunting!

Wildfires.

My sympathies to all who have been displaced by the California wildfires. I lived and worked in Southern California for many years before moving to the desert and consider it my home. I lived there during several major earthquakes, including the Northridge tremor, and this fire devastation seems just as bad, if not worse. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your families.

Another hot week!

Well, The Mask of Tamirella podiobook is well on it's way. I've submitted the first required chapters and am just waiting for word that they've been published. Meanwhile, I'm continuing with my recordings. Not too much longer now. Keep checking back.

A shout out to Sandra in PA for getting her library to stock The Mask of Tamirella. Woohoo! Thanks! Way to go!

After nice teasing temps in the 80s over the weekend, we're now heating up to almost 100 for a few days. Gotta love the desert. Just hope we won't sweat too much for Halloween! Of course, by February, we'll be complaining about the cold. Yeah, desert dwellers are wimps. Me included.

Have a great weekend and happy reading!
