Halloween Laughing Vixen Lounge October Giveaway!

Halloween is NEXT WEEK! One of my most ridiculous* wishes is to host a really fun halloween party with cute favors and hanging bats, and spooky hors d'oeuvres. Speaking of, isn't it nuts that we just USE this incredibly obvious French word all willy nilly? I know English is generally just a mishmash of all sorts of words that we've just adopted, but we haven't even made it "orderves" or anything. We've just kept the French spelling like, "ah, the hell with it. We can eat it, we don't need to spell it."

I digress.

Back to Halloween. I really hampered myself this year by deciding to challenge my willpower and go sugar-free for the month of October. Usually this month I bake everything pumpkin, make my own pumpkin spice coffee syrup, eat lots of tasty, autumn crap, and feel that's the best way to get into the spirit of Halloween since throwing a party doesn't seem within my grasp. I have a varied group of friends who don't know each other and who all work such different schedules that making a party happen seems like it would never work. I can fantasize, though!

In the meantime, I usually settle for watching "scary" movies and enjoying all the cute decorations that have cropped up everywhere. I don't like most gory movies, and I'm too impatient for a lot of older "scary" movies, so it's hard to find a lot of stuff that really works for me in terms of spookiness. I DO like zombie movies, though, despite my intolerance of gore. Something about zombie movie gore just seems so unreal to me, maybe.


My favorite October go-to for movies has to be the remake of Dawn of the Dead! It's got a decent amount of action, it's funny, and you get to look at Jake Weber for 90 minutes. Such a deal! I've tried watching the original and it's way too slow and boring for me. 

Side note, I've met George Romero and he's SO SO SO nice and really tall! So, I do feel bad not being a fan of his zombie movies, but I'm a fan of him as a person, so that's something!

Now onto what you're REALLY here for: the giveaway!

*My wish is ridiculous because it's not like a real wish. I could totally throw a halloween party, it would just be so logistically complicated that I pretend it's a far off, impossibility and just collect stuff on a Pinterest board instead.

Rioting is stupid

I expected to wake up Tuesday night and find that we'd elected our first female president. I think most people believed that's what would happen, honestly. Sure, Clinton had some controversy, but she wasn't driven by lunacy. Well, that didn't happen and now the world's filled with hate.

Thing is, you're probably contributing to that hate, whether you realize it or not.

Most of my social media feeds are filled with hate for Trump supporters, for people who didn't vote, for people who voted for third parties, for people who didn't write-in Bernie Sanders, for people who won't stop complaining, for anything related to the election. I get it, I hate things, I totally know what those people are feeling. I work in a hotel. I instantly hate anyone who calls me to request a wake-up call instead of setting it up themselves. I silently wish leprosy on anyone who borrows a luggage cart and then shoves it out into the hallway and leaves it, rather than returni…

Cover Reveal: Business With Pleasure

I'm mostly done going over the edits on Gwen #2, and running through the formatting as I go, so hopefully I should be getting the book up and out by FRIDAY! Friday being National DONUT DAY! You just know Gwen celebrates that like a holy day. And I know you're SO excited to read Business With Pleasure!

I'm biased, but I really love Gwen's second book. We get another peek into the Fairy world, see Mel face a whole new challenge, and we meet STAN! Oh, Stan. He's the sweetest, which means he had no business being married to Gwen, but that just makes their dynamic more fun. I have a little short story I wrote about him that I'm trying to figure out what to do with once Business is out there, too.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you had a good Memorial Day, and that you made compassionate barbecuing choices if you had any outdoor parties!

New short story!

Everyone loved Stan in Business With Pleasure, right? He's such a dorky little sweetheart! He makes my brain happy, and I loved spending time writing him. Because I love catching up with characters in Gwen's world, I wrote a little stand-alone short starring Stan, and I definitely think you'll like it.

A kiss from a lovely stranger, a surprise houseguest, an ill-gotten meal, and an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of his stomach: It’s been a strange day for Stanley Sneedley.

Poppy is a whirlwind of inappropriate caresses, flirtatious winks, and double-talk, but Stanley still can’t help but say yes when she asks for his help. She’s on the run from dangerous men, after all, and Stan can’t bear to leave her to be found and possibly captured. He’s a gentleman above all, and no amount of her suggestive glances from this damsel will change that.

As the night wears on, however, Stan realizes that perhaps Poppy’s not being entirely truthful about why she’s in trouble and how she plan…
