Book cover for The Trail of Lady Shajarah by Dal Cecil Runo. Image on cover shows a woman wearing a long, flowing white dress and veil walking on a dusty and deserted desert road on a sunny day. There are a few scraggly bushes growing on the side of the road but otherwise not any other signs of life. There is a mountain ridge in the distance.

My current Halloween reread is The Lost Girls
by Sonia Hartl.

I enjoy the way it takes the 100+ year old vampire falling in love with an innocent teenage girl trope to its disturbing but logical conclusions.

We need a film version of it someday.

Book cover for The Lost Girls by Sonia Hartl. Image on the cover is a drawing of a teenaged white girl dressed in 1980s fashion, including a choker, a blue and black striped blouse, and crimped black hair.

She is a vampire, and so her fangs are showing and there is a small dribble of blood dripping down the corner of her mouth.

That's why I write #SpeculativeFiction things are always right if I'm making everything up 😜😂
Also, did you know to create a fictional world from scratch you have to start with creating the #Multiverse? At least that's what I've been told... 😅

Pastel Desert Owl / Bird Art by Lisa S Baker. A wise desert owl comes to life in soft pastel tones of pink, lavender, and turquoise, as if painted by the cotton-candy skies of the Southwest. Its watchful gaze and feathery details shimmer with a touch of magic, blending the mystery of night with the sweetness of dreamy color. Both enchanting and serene, this artwork brings a playful yet elegant spirit of the desert into your home.
