I am hungry for lunch, but I don’t have the energy to make lunch because I am too hungry. Vicious situation. I waited for hubby to get up from his desk and go into the kitchen, and I asked him if he was making lunch. He said no, got himself a glass of water and went back to his desk (two feet from the kitchen) I explained to him I was hungry and had no energy, and my asking him if he was making lunch was my way of asking him to make lunch. How ids this not clear? I think he is making a point that he hates when I ask him “IF” he is doing something, and not just asking him to do something. I get it, but unfortunately I am stubborn and find it hard to change my ways. Plus I am hungry and don’t have the energy to fight him. I have decided to just stare at him and see if that persuades him to make me a sandwich. If it can work for Care Bears, it can work for me.

After nearly a year of being engaged, the time has finally come for Julia and Barker’s wedding, but like most things in Peridale, things don’t exactly go smoothly. Julia wakes up late on the damp and grey morning of her wedding to find that her cake has been ruined, her flowers are the wrong colour, and the cars are stuck in a flood. However, all of that pales in comparison when the choirmaster, Gloria Gray, drops down dead during her solo in the middle of the ceremony.
With their wedding ruined, Julia and Barker must pick themselves up again, but they soon find purpose when Gloria’s best friend, Flora Hill, begs them to investigate Gloria’s death. Julia soon discovers that Gloria’s dictator-style running of the choir created more than a few enemies, and when the police confirm that the bossy choirmaster was poisoned, Julia vows to solve the case. Who killed Gloria, and more importantly, why in the middle of Julia’s wedding?

A light, cozy mystery read with a cat loving and cafe-owning amateur female sleuth, in a small village setting with quirky characters. Written in British English.

A Pumpkins’ Halloween: A Novella
by Mark Kasniak
Genre: Horror
FREE for a limited time
A Pumpkins’ Halloween is a wonderful tale that embodies all the right attributes that sum up the spirit of the holiday of Halloween. Ghosts, zombies, vampires, maniacs, witches, and talking jack-o’-lanterns all take turns playing different roles in this multi-storied novella. A Pumpkins’ Halloween brings to you everything you remember that was fun about Halloween along with a good dose of dark humor, while at the same time scaring and sickening you with its real-life tales of depravity.
A Pumpkins’ Halloween follows the storytelling of five jack-o’-lanterns as they come to life on Halloween evening. As the jack-o’-lanterns banter back and forth while giving each other grief, they find themselves forced to look out on the street because, after all, they’re stationary, they’re pumpkins. As Halloween progresses, each jack-o’-lantern takes turns telling a story in celebration of the holiday and one will ultimately be judged the winner at night’s end. However, there is a stipulation. Each story has to be about the trick-or-treaters that the jack-o’-lanterns watch passing them by as they go about in search of candy. Also, each story gets to be picked by one of the other jack-o’-lanterns for added difficulty.
The tales the jack-o’-lanterns tell focus on such taboo subjects as a father who is not very good at being one, a little boy who likes to play with matches, a woman who doesn’t enjoy the company of children, not even her own, and a psycho killer who likes to target trick-or-treaters for his murderous games.
[Warning: A Pumpkins’ Halloween is NOT a children’s story!!! It contains adult situations and some strong language.]
