Dr. Jekyll as Muse

I'm finally done writing the 4th Monster — my Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde-inspired novella.


Today's post on the Candy's Monsters blog is about "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and all its permutations.

From the Loony Tunes cartoon versions to the musical on Broadway, Dr. Jekyll has inspired all sorts of storytelling.

What comes to mind when you hear — Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde?

What's in a Name?

Ever wonder how authors go about giving names to characters?

It's a challenge — and sometimes it's even fun. Check out the current post on my Candy's Monsters blog to learn more.

What's in a Name?
A great deal...

Invitation to an Autopsy...

Sometimes a writer must travel outside her comfort zone in order to get the story right!

In my current Candy's Monsters blog post, I'm recalling an invitation I had to accept — and did.

Halloween Costumes 101...

I've loved Halloween costumes all my life and, through trial and error (many, many errors) I've developed four rules about Halloween costumes.

I'm sharing them on my Candy's Monsters blog!

Interesting Bloggers!

I follow a whole bunch of blogs. Some I dip into periodically and others draw me in to every post.

I recently had the honor of being nominated for a Liebster Blogger Award — a special award for bloggers with less than 1000 followers.

Part of the Liebster experience is answering an oddball set of questions and offering an equally extraneous list of facts about yourself. The next stage is nominating other bloggers and asking them to do the same.

Check out this post and dip into the bloggers I've nominated — you might just find an interesting blog to follow!

A Bloody Mess...

Blood, Guts and Goo!

When writing about bloody carnage, what do you say? How do you describe a bloodbath to your readers?

What Scares You?

Lions & Tigers & Bears — Oh, My!

There's always something and when writing fiction developing the right flaws and fears in a heroic character makes that fictional persona real.

Check out my Monster Meditation on Candy's Monsters blog. Interested in a hero that is terrified of chickens?

The Legacy of Frankenstein

The whole is definitely greater than the sum of the parts when Mary Shelley's creation is involved. Frankenstein has become a part of our language and our culture!

Check out my pre-Halloween MONSTER MEDITATION on the unexpected legacy of everyone's favorite monster — on Candy's Monsters blog today.
