Happy October Everyone!
I'm posting this later in the day than I normally would. But, sometimes it's fun to do something a tiny bit different. (In this case put up a blog post after 4pm my time, when it would normally be up early in the morning).
October always used to give me a sort of "giddy" feeling when I was growing up. I guess because my birthday is this month (Oct. 15th). But sometimes, on rare occasions, my part of Texas would start getting cooler. I always liked the little nip in the air that hinted at the holidays to come. The day I'm writing this post it was 88 degrees Fahrenheit earlier in the day, but now is up to 90. Hardly autumn-feeling weather.
I'm going along querying Sugar & Frost (the manuscript's "mood board" is the image in the center). I do hope an agent gives me an offer. I love this story so much! It's fun and whimsical and definitely romantic.

Some people call "romance-forward" Fantasy stories "Romantasy" so, one could call it a YA Romantasy or a YA Fantasy Romance. Either is true because it is romance-forward (the romance plays an integral part of the story) but fantasy elements are important, too. I had a blast writing this story. I really enjoyed myself. Even editing was fun.
One of the inspirations was Frankenmuth, Michigan, which I've visited at least 2-4 times. It's a great little place. I fell in love with Bronner's (a Christmas store of epic proportions and one of my "happy places").

I hope your October is fun. :-) Have a Festively Fun Friday!
P.S. On a more serious note, I've been praying for the victims of the recent Hurricane Helene. God bless all who have been negatively affected. If you can donate and/or help, please do.
