As I mentioned earlier, I also write.  So, on that note my current work in progress (WIP) is a story titled “Bibbly.”  The history of Bibbly: I originally wrote this as a short story for a creative writing class many years ago.  I have played with the idea of turning it into a novel but I had other projects going on at the time.  Bibbly is one of the many stories that have been collecting dust on the metaphoric shelf.  However, with National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWrimo) literally just days away I have decided to work on a rough outline and finish telling Bibbly’s story with more twist and turns along the way. Brief Overview: Bibbly lives in a network of tunnels deep beneath the surface of the Earth.  As a female member of her tribe she is not allowed to venture to the forest above. On the eve of an ancient ritual that will name the next leader of her tribe, Bibbly makes a grave mistake that results in the capture of her father and puts all of her kind in danger.  Now, the

“Mexican Gothic” by. Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Book Review with SPOILERS)

  “Mexican Gothic” by. Silvia Moreno-Garcia A Book Review with SPOILERS First Impressions:  The story opens up with a party and a couple that is quickly leaving it. From the beginning, it is clear that Noemi Taboada is the main character. Initially, the opening scene didn’t make too much of an impression on me until after I finished the story.

Now she has sent an ominous letter that has her uncle and cousin questioning her sani

Halloween Havoc

Blood, guts, maggots, and brains are flashing before my eyes as I surf the web in search of ways to keep a group of preteens entertained at the Halloween party.  Today’s kids are so exposed to horror movies and scary music that the things that would have sent chills down my spine at their age are ‘simply child’s play.’  When I was a little girl “Night Mare on Elm Street” horrified me.  In our house at the time we had a long dark hall way.  My older brother, doing his duty as an older brother took it upon himself to hide in the rooms along the hall where I couldn’t see him; when I would pass he would jump out of the rooms behind me yelling “Freddy’s coming” which of course sent me screaming down the hall because I thought Freddy Kruger was after me.  In my defense I was only nine.  My children on the other hand watched that movie and laughed at the special effects.  They become more desensitized with every new horror movie produced now days.  I decided to take them to see paranormal
