GHOST GALS at the LIZZIE BORDEN BED & BREAKFAST, Oct 22, 2011

That's us, Dorinda's Ghost Gals (except for Liz-the-psychic in the gray shirt). It was the first seance for our team; new experiences broaden the mind! Liz-the-psychic was featured in Ghost Adventures (Travel Channel 9 p.m. Eastern time) on Friday, Oct. 21, 2011. 

Halloween Cometh and Goeth

As November blows in on frigid gusts of winds from across the bay, I buckle myself into my writing chair. It's time for the sequel of Tanglewood Plantation to begin. Because the story includes time travel, there are obstacles to overcome as a writer. For one, what trick will catapult my heroine from this century to the 19th century? What trick will bring her back?  Ah, but I have resolved the 'going' already, but not the return trip. See, there is even mystery in the mystery on the part of the creator! This is exactly why I enjoy writing my stories; it's forever new and changing (not to mention challenging) and I am lucky enough to be along for the ride.

Greetings from the crypt at the water's edge. Time for ghosts, goblins, and things that go 'bump' in the night. I, for one, love this time of year; love the colors of fall, the hint of creepiness that comes with the approach of Halloween and, I haven't grown up yet --- love to put on a costume and change my identity for a while! This is also a great time to let the ghosts flow through the thinking cap...a story...a story...a story that chills to the bone. The atmosphere inspires the writer in me!
