Self-Help 101 Cover Reveal and Other News
I wanted to do something fun with this cover, and since the main character Dani spends a lot of time jotting down notes in a notebook, I knew I wanted to incorporate that somehow.

You can judge for yourself whether I succeeded or not

Spooktoberfest 2015
It's that time of year again! Spooktoberfest is hosted by Jackie @ Bouquet of Books and Dani @ Entertaining Interests.
This year the task was to write a piece of flash fiction 400 words or less and incorporate 13 Scattergory items. This was no easy task, but here's my attempt at it.
