Sexy horror. No. Really.

Today I’m talking about achieving the balance between romance and horror over at the Amber Quill Authors’ blog.

Tomorrow I’ll post a few photos of Halloween prep at the March household. Every year I say “I’m gonna start early, avoid that ghoulish last-minute rush.” Every year, I fail. This year is no exception, though I do have the excuse of truly crappy weather getting in the way of outdoor decoration. Seriously. Snow and freezing rain in October? SERIOUSLY.

In the meantime, here are some pics of our yard from last week, when the days were still crisp and dry, and the leaves hadn’t yet leapt to their deaths.

Posted especially for my brilliant and ever-stylish crit partner, Barb Ferrer, because I know she misses fall in the northeast.
