October Wrap-Up!
Happy post-Halloween!
October was a cracking month. I had 2 events - the Firefly YA event down in Cardiff, and YAShot in Uxbridge - both of which I wrote about (with pics) over the past couple of weeks. I also took part in the Fall YA Scavenger Hunt with over 90 YA authors from around the world, and it was lots of fun.
And of course it was Halloween, which normally just involves some spooky reading while I wait to leap out at unsuspecting trick-or-treaters, but this year I was invited to my friend Dawn's house for a bit of a party. Fancy dress was required, of course, so I smeared on my best skeleton face and went as Death, as you do. That's me on the right, holding the cat. Please note how freaky my eyes look - they always do that in photos, much like a... well, a cat.
I managed to squeeze in a few small adventures between events and writing: one to Chirk Castle, and one which was a bit of a ramble and took me to an abandoned asylum and a pretty riverbank. These are my favourite pics from the two:

My library. (Fine, not my library, but this is what my library would look like if I had a castle.) #castle #library #books #shelfie #bookshelf #antique #wales #secretplaces #authorlife #writing #writinginspiration #reading #readingnookA photo posted by Kat Ellis (@katelliswrites) on Oct 14, 2016 at 8:52am PDT
On Saturday evenings I like to put on my high-necked Victorian gown, sit at the harpsichord, and smash out a bit of Rammstein. #authorlife #castle #harpsichord #saturday #saturdaynight #rammsteinA photo posted by Kat Ellis (@katelliswrites) on Oct 15, 2016 at 3:44pm PDT
Would you go trick-or-treating here? This is an abandoned mental hospital I stopped at earlier today - site of a Most Haunted feature a few years ago. They didn't have any sweets.
