Well today is the beginning of the Howloween Blog Hop. and I am supposed to write something Halloween inspired. The sad thing is in my part of Australia we don't really celebrate Halloween. So I am just gonna ramble for a bit.
where you will find other great participants to go trick or treating with.
270+ Authors
What does Halloween mean for me, I get to indulge in my love of bats. Okay so maybe I am a little off my rocker because I joined a blog hop for something I never participate in... Though I was just in America. Albuquerque, New Mexico to be exact for GRL and while there I went to a store with Brandi and Erika and I was just amazed by all the Halloween decorations everywhere... the spiders I could live without but I did really enjoy the bats.
Why is it when this time of year rolls around I want to write a shit-load of paranormal stories... I want to immerse myself in the spirit of the day/night etc. This is the time of year that the paranormal and the supernatural all come out to play and have a good time among the land of the living human beings. I always wonder just how thin the veil between the undead and the living truly is at this time of year... mind you I am a 'big ol' fraidy cat' about the scary side of life.
My Give-away
I suppose I should talk about my prize for this blog hop... The truth is I can't remember what I said I would give away (Bad NJ). So instead I will now say I will give away a free ebook from my backlist and a $15 gift certificate to Bookstrand or Amazon... So to be in the chance to win this prize please leave a comment with your contact information... and for a chance to be in the draw twice please feel free to join my blog as a follower or remind me that you are already a follower. I will then choose my winner at the end of the hop.
Good luck to all who participate.
The blog hop is awesome!

aren't all the holidays getting that sort of feeling. when I was a kid I loved them all now it is like yeah today is just like yesterday. I don't even remember it is my birthday until someone says "happy birthday" to me.
DeleteLoved the photos from GRL! There are so many out there. I am hoping to be able to participate next year and get to meet all you wonderful Authors! Thanks for allowing us to Hop with You.
ReplyDeletetaina1959@yahoo.com
I think that meeting the readers as well as other authors was the best part of GRL - I made some wonderful friends I know I will keep in touch with for many years to come... if you do make it next year make sure you look me up (GRL 2013 is in Atlanta)
