Vampires, the Walking Dead and Other Things That Go Bump in the Night!

So the month of October is upon us! Time for All Hallow's Eve.

Halloween dates back to the pagans and thought to have originated with the pagan festival of Samhain. It was also thought that at this time of year, the walls between the worlds thinned, enabling spirits to pass through and mess with their crops. Bonfires were lit to scare off evil spirits and offerings of food and drink were set up. Begging at the door grew from an ancient custom of knocking at doors to beg for a "soul cake" in return for a promise to pray for the dead. The Romans celebrated a like festival in honor of the goddess Pomona. 

But modern man has turned Halloween into a fun celebration replete with costumes, trick or treating and parties! 

Night creatures stalk the dark, vampires, zombies, witches, ghosts, goblins - you name it, they're out there searching for unwary victims. Personally, I stay home and hand out candy. Not going to tempt the fates.

 







Anyway, what could be more fun than a vampire story at Halloween and I have just the one for you. Absolution. 

Blurb: 

From the mists of time…dark powers arise.
Born in blood and entombed for six hundred years, the dhampir Chloe awakens.
Zaccarius, the most feared Slayer of all, is sent to determine her worth and, if necessary, to render justice. Enthralled by the purity of her mind, he becomes her protector, only to fall beneath the armies of the Dark Master Jochad.
Ancient and dying, Jochad demands Chloe choose—her blood for the life of her lover!

Solar Eclipse or Do Girls Just Want to Have Fun?

August 21 - the total eclipse of the sun and Idaho is in the moon's umbral shadow. What does this mean for me?   The last time the contiguous U.S. saw a total eclipse was in 1979. As luck would have it, Idaho seems to be smack dab in the middle of the path.

I've purchased my protective eyewear and made plans to specifically be outside, gear on and ready.  Although...

Years ago, in 1984, I watched a movie entitled "Night of the Comet," a story about how the populace planned parties, stood outside and watched and by the next day, either were turned to ashes or those who survived turned to zombies, except for a few choice souls who managed to avoid exposure to the comet's rays. Sort of makes you wonder... Do I need to add zombie protective gear to my ensemble?

But then again - girls just want to have fun!
