Ready for the ghoulish good time?

Halloween is just a week away and yes, I have already eaten most of the candy I bought for the darling little trick or treaters. That means I'm off to buy candy I don't much care for this time around.

I've always been a fan of Halloween. Considering that I write paranormal romance, I suppose that's much of a surprise. What is surprising is that I'm still as enthusiastic as back when I was a kid. Granted, I no longer get to dress up and ring doorbells, but decorating my porch and lawn is almost as much fun.

I've already done some scarecrow and pumpkin stuff, but the big guns come out this week. I'll be setting up the fake tombstones and hanging my ghost Lydia (complete with bright red LED eyes!) in front of the window upstairs. Add a few skeletal parts hanging from the dogwood tree in the front yard and we'll be ready.

Oh, and that candy that didn't make it to kiddies? Chocolate fangs, for the vampire lover in us all.
