My review for Arresting Jeremiah by Amber Daulton is live on Readers Roost. Click the link to check it out! And please, let's not talk about the fact that I originally shared this link back to Readers Roost rather than this blog, because that would be pretty damn silly.

Nothing to Fear Weekend Writing Warriors 11 October 2020
http://wewriwa.blogspot.com
http://www.facebook.com/groups/snippetsundayThe BlurbThe fate of the Cosmos rests in the hands of an unlikely team of unusual friends. Will an exiled member of an ancient extraterrestrial race, a human ghost, and two ghouls be able to outfox an ancient evil and beat Nyarlathotep at his game before time runs out? This buddy story is the first in a series of New Cthulhu Mythos cliffhangers.
The NotesLast time, Little John and Yitzy discussed Yitzy's opinions about working with the Undead.
The Snippet
“Do your kind ever become ghouls or vampires or ghosties?”
“Not that I have noticed. Ours is a hive species, although I am a renegade. I imagine that upon the death of this form, my personality will take flight. But whether it will transfer to another corporeal form or will move to another plane of existence, I know not.”
“Just so’s you know, Guv’ner, you ain’t no need to be afeared of me or even of Robin. We ain’t keen to eat livin’ things, only dead ones that’s been rotting a bit.”
“Oh, I did not sense any danger from your presence, Little John. I am enjoying our conversation.”

First Look Friday: The Witch's Cauldron
Image copyright Tengyart on Unsplash
Ketil, Little John, Rilpu, Robin, and Yitzy fell through a red mist for an indeterminate time and emerged in Xura near a tent at the ghoul carnival. An ancient crone was stirring a kettle. She beckoned the group with a welcoming smile.
“What’s in the cauldron, Mum?” Little John inquired. “It smells loike it would pair nicely wif a dank and molderin' tub of Newington Butts wif a Mrs. Duckett of juicy mince pies and mildewed Britney Spears on the side.”
“While Britney Spears and I performed unrelated sorts of music, I should not like to see the poor woman mildewed,” Ketil protested. “I apologize for my companion, Madam. Always thinking with his guts is he, and his friend is no different. While a mince pie does sound pleasant enough, I am quite sure that he meant something horrid. Whatever you are brewing in this fine and sturdy vessel reminds me of pleasant times in my youth. Such times were few and far between, but I remember those innocent moments fondly. Is there even the spirit of a ghost of a chance that this brew is something that shall bring me joy rather than culinary misery?”
“My dear lad, t ‘is merely a blend of lemons and oranges with mulling spices blended with a most excellent dry wine, fit for the Norse Gods themselves,” the old woman responded. “And I happen to have real mince pies, fresh from the Olde Vanguard Bakery in Dylath Leen. For the young serpent miss, a cache of fresh Jaklom larva to please the palate. I will fill these strong wineskins with the beverage for your journey and bundle the Jaklom larva into a bag. For our Yithian friend, I include a half dozen redstones from the River Xari. You ghoul-kind take your time and select a few choice parts for your upcoming journey. When you return, your wine will be ready for you.”
“That’s most excellent of you, Mum,” Robin praised. “C’mon, Candy and Ronnie, I’ve a 'ankerin’ fer a 'aunch. We can divide it between us ter 'ave mashed potato, and we’ll share the Newington Butts and mince pies and Britney Spears.”
“While I’ve no doubt that they would happily dine on Newington’s butts, I quite wish they’d leave Britney Spears out of this mess,” Ketil sighed. “They’ll give the poor woman nightmares. Strangely, however, they are making me hungry with their talk. You wouldn’t happen to know where a hungry Swedish ghost might procure a bit of mashed potato to go with his mince pie, would you, Madam?”
The crone reached into her bag, pulling out a pair of potatoes. She waved her hand over them, and they became shiny and clean. She snapped her fingers, lighting a small fire right on the wooden stand. She placed the potatoes in a small pot and placed them over the fire, stirred them three times, and tapped the side of the pot, sending up a spray of multicolored sparkles. She spooned a scoop of potatoes into one bowl for Ketil and another scoop into a bowl for herself.
The witch conjured up a chair and invited Ketil to take a seat and join her for mashed potatoes and mince pie while Rilpu unhinged her jaw to swallow a Jaklom larva.
This post was inspired by the What’s in the Cauldron prompt from Writers Digest.

Readers Roost: The Prophecy Trilogy Character Interview and Giveaway
If you're looking for paranormal romance funThis Halloween trio is the one!
Thanks. I'll see myself out.

~cie~
know the notesIf all you wanted was that snip of a Senryu, you're done here.
However, I have a horrible, awful idea, and I am about to enact it.
I am combining today's poetry post with the monthly IWSG post.
Ready or not, here it is.
OPTIONAL QUESTION: When you think of the term working writer, what does that look like to you? What do you think it is supposed to look like? Do you see yourself as a working writer or aspiring or hobbyist, and if latter two, what does that look like?
You asked, I deliver.
I have never before thought of the term "working writer," and, after today, I will probably not think of it again.
I am a writer who works on my writing and hopes that one day people will like it enough to pay for it.
I have no idea what it's supposed to look like.
If people call me a hobbyist, they will wind up decomposing in my locker.
You're welcome to call me a hack. I can't force anyone to have good taste. But a hobbyist I'm not, at least when it comes to things of a literary nature.
I'm a hobbyist with my loom knitting. I'm sporadic and not very good at it.
I'm a hobbyist baker. Results may vary. I do get upset when they don't come out nice. However, I am not a professional.
I work on literary things from sunup to sundown.
I guess that makes me a working writer, even if I am a horrible hack.
Yeah--that's about it.
I worked to write this poetry, and it will be published by me in a volume, probably sometime before the end of the year so you can buy it for yourself as a Xmahanukwanzyule present.
If you want more poetry of questionable literary value, Imma hook you up right here.https://bit.ly/getmorepoetry

DedicationThis post is dedicated to Eddie Van Halen (January 26, 1955 – October 6, 2020) and not because I think he was a narcissist. I'm rather sure he wasn't. Eddie was a hard-working and innovative musician, and although I even play the kazoo badly, he was one of my life's influences because of his creativity and determination. So, the fact that you are reading this today can partly be blamed on Eddie.

A Consuming Need: MFRW Book Hooks 7 October 2020
http://mfrwbookhooks.blogspot.com
The Blurb
Geeky Gandy Stafford's lifelong fantasy comes true when he meets the otherworldly Dorma and Desyra. These last remnants of a botched extraterrestrial invasion discover that they require a great deal of energy to maintain their human forms.
The easiest way to obtain essential power?
Sex, and lots of it.
The Snippet
(Last week Gandy took Dorma and Desyra back to his townhouse.)
“Oh. Hey! I thought you said you weren’t going to eat me!”
“We do not consume other beings,” said Desyra, her monotone expression fluctuating to indicate irritation.
“Oh. Well, that’s good. Sorry if I insulted you. I’ve, you know, I’ve never met an alien before. I’ve imagined this, like, billions and billions of times, but I never thought it would actually happen. It’s not like it’s really something you can prepare for, being invaded, you know. I mean, I always hoped that aliens existed, but I guess I never really thought they did, you know what I mean?”

Working With the Undead: Weekend Writing Warriors 4 October 2020
http://wewriwa.blogspot.com
http://www.facebook.com/groups/snippetsundayThe BlurbThe fate of the Cosmos rests in the hands of an unlikely team of unusual friends. Will an exiled member of an ancient extraterrestrial race, a human ghost, and two ghouls be able to outfox an ancient evil and beat Nyarlathotep at his game before time runs out? This buddy story is the first in a series of New Cthulhu Mythos cliffhangers.
The NotesLast time, the group stepped through the door of the Xura Dream House. Ketil compared Robin to a rotted potato, and Robin threatened to take a trip to Sweden to snack on Ketil's corpse.
The snippet is 12 sentences.
The Snippet
Little John strode forth to walk beside Yitzy. He doffed his newsboy cap.
“Begging your pardon and all, Guv’ner,” the large ghoul said, “but I am wondering how it pleases you to be working with the Undead.”
“I find it much the same as working with the living,” Yitzy revealed. “The Undead make for surprisingly good study. There is such a vast variety of subclasses. There are the revenants such as vampires, some of which are created by what one might call supernatural means but many of whom can be traced back to a series of retroviruses foreign to your Earth. There are the mindless living corpse variety, which tend to be referred to as zombies. Then there are those such as yourselves who were once living humans but upon the death of your body were transformed into new creatures which must feed on rotting carrion for your well-being. Then there are those such as Ketil, who is an energy projection surrounding the force of the personality which he possessed in life. Most fascinating, all of it.”
