Wolf Howl and Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween, or Blessed Samhain; depending on your flavor of holiday. We had the Wolf Howl at the Wild Canid Survival Center last night; the night before Halloween. Some of you dressed up, brave you in the woods. Most of us dressed for comfort and hiking. Jon wasn’t able to come with me. It was the first one I’d done without him by my side. It felt really odd. Many of you wished him well, and a speedy recovery from the knee surgery. Thank you for the kind wishes. I passed them on when I got home.

Dracula the Ballet
Dracula, the Ballet was amazing. From the moment the curtain opened and Dracula rose from his coffin in pale, naked splendor, we knew we were in for something for special. The familiar story unfolded with Jonathan Harker trapped in the castle with his vampire host. They did a good job of showing how tormented Dracula was at having fresh blood so near by, and how under his spell Harker already was, and how helpless. The scenes with the three brides of Dracula and Harker were terribly cool. Very sensual, and Mina dancing through the foreground in white, pure and… Read More

Stars
I got up due to unpleasant reasons. Jon and I fell off the nutrition wagon last night after getting out of the Ballet, which was fabulous, but the plan is I’ll blog about that in more detail later in the day when I’m more wide awake. But that fast food treat that kept us from having to cook after a long day, well, we’re paying for it now. It seems like the healthier we eat the less junk food our systems can tolerate, like putting cheap gas in your engine just after you’ve upgraded it. So, at 5:30 A.… Read More

The Muse was Hot to Trot Today
I have struggled all week with the next Anita book; SKIN TRADE. I mean I’ve managed to get essays, and interviews, and signed stuff; all things that I’d been putting off and had finally become critical. But, the book, which is after all the main job of mine, had lanquished. When I did get a few minutes to work on it, I just couldn’t concentrate because of all the other stuff pressing down on me. I think I got nine pages on Monday, and the rest of the week has been just two, or three at a time, and… Read More

Growing Pains
I?m sitting at my desk drinking green tea. I?ve finally found one that doesn?t taste like grass clippings. Celestial Seasonings, Tropical Grapefruit. Just the smell of it is invigorating, and helps lift the mood on this, the first cold day of autumn. I need a little pick me up. Why?
I?ve done essays that were needed for various publicity opportunities for SWALLOWING DARKNESS. November 4th maybe election day for the rest of the country, but my big focus is that the next hardback comes out. The paperback of A LICK OF FROST hits stores a week ahead. I?m… Read More
