Happy Halloween!
It’s that time in America when kids dressed as superheros and princesses in store-bought costumes come knocking at the door begging for candy. This year I’m dressing as a witch (or maybe revealing my true persona) and instead of candy I’m handing out books, tricks be damned. Casting spells with words, because that’s what witches — and writers — attempt to do.
If you’d like to knock on my door and receive one of my spells, just leave a comment on my website and tell me what costume you’re wearing — and which story you’d prefer.
In exchange, all I want is your undivided attention…
Double double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble…
These are the books I’m giving away — this weekend only…
Thank you for the gift of a spell of my choosing.
Blue Moon Luck brings good catch I am musing.
To earn this boon I’ll fill your prescription.
My costume is simple: a reversed ball cap,
wrapping-paper tubes sticking out of my hoody.
Represent tonight, A Rapper’s Delight.
Thank you, salty rapper, for your droll remark
I shall send you Blue Moon Luck, hope you find it a lark!
