Dear Readers,

Another Halloween is upon us! I want to take this time to thank everyone who supported my books this year. Hope your autumn is magical.

Wolf

Wolf (1994) is an American romantic horror film which stars Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and James Spader. It’s currently free on Amazon Prime. This modern take on the werewolf is definitely vivid. It could be the perfect movie fix for Halloween!

 

Autumn arrived in my town!

Witches

Wicked cold

Halloween old

Werewolf itch

Cat tails twitch

Broomsticks in flight

Knuckles that might

Knock on your door

Ghostly lore

Dreadful night

Screams with fright

Wrinkled up skin

Let us

Come 

In !!

The Turn of the Screw

The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James was a 12 part series (gothic fiction) which was featured in Collier’s Weekly from January until April of 1898. It is a ghost story I’ve been meaning to read for a very long time. The story is told by a governess who comes to believe that the two children she is in charge of are visited by two former employees who died. The question is..are they really being haunted? Or is the governess descending into some kind of madness. See what you think! I do recommend!

The Lodger

The Lodger - 1927

Well..you know I love Alfred Hitchcock movies. And, I thought I had seen them all - but evidently not! I just finished this and I absolutely love it.

If you like silent films and you like mystery, you will love this Alfred Hitchcock mystery as much as I do!

Art Installations from the DIA

I’m lucky enough to live in a town that cares about art. I love art! During the summer we have installations from the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). Just a sample:

Portrait of Postman Roulin - by Vincent Van Gogh, 1888 - that coincidentally is in front of a local restaurant that used to be our post office!
