A little spooky.

As we reach October, I always consider writing something a little dark. Normally, my writing is a little more “sunshine and happy endings” than “moonlight and mysteries.” But I sometimes consider writing a haunting love story. Maybe a charming ghost or a killer we can fall for. I am fond of monsters. I have one at home, so it’s an idea.

When I think about a mystery, I picture what fun it would be to have a blend of both romantic and spooky elements. I think of candlelit dinners in haunted mansions or first kisses in web-shrouded graveyards. I know vampires are overdone, but there is something to it that gets me. 
We will see. To soothe my longing for something creeping in the woods, I am going to have one of my aliens fall in love with a shapeshifting wolf that howls at the full moon.

It’s something. Have a happy and safe Halloween.
