I love Halloween, and fall, and the sound of crunching leaves when you walk down the sidewalk, which I experienced while in Oakmont PA last weekend. What a beautiful little town with all of these Victorian/brick homes, oak trees, and wraparound porches. Sunday morning, there was legit fog and this mom and baby deer coming through it like a Disney movie. I saw blue jays, cardinals, and fat, sassy squirrels. It was the perfect fall-vibe reset for this Florida girl. We sold lots of books and met amazing readers during the library event hosted by Mystery Lovers Bookshop—and they have signed stock, if you are interested in autographed copies.
While doing my newsletter this morning, I realized that Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead, as well as Death at an Irish Village, both take place in the fall. I love Halloween and all things spooky, and we have a month-long array of horror movies at our house. We started off light, with Tucker & Dale VS Evil—a hilarious spoof on the college-kids camping trope. Things will get darker as the month progresses. And after that, is Thanksgiving, near to my heart because it’s about sharing food with friends and family.
