Happy Halloween! 👻

Dear Readers,

Thank you so, so much for supporting my books this year - especially Autumn Poetry: A Collection for the Season. Hopefully it helped get you into an autumn state of mind.

Every year October goes by so fast, yet luckily, I still find time to enjoy the changing colors and autumn light. I never tire of it. I hope you have time to enjoy it too!

Another Man’s Poison

I just have to share this perfect for a dark October night movie! It’s titled, Another Man’s Poison and is a British crime drama from 1951. It stars Bette Davis, Gary Merrill, and Emlyn Williams. Davis plays a writer, Janet, who kills her husband. And yes, it involves poison. Of course I recommend! 

Full Movie:
