What are you creating for your costume this Halloween? I’d love to know…please share in the comments! Or let me know if you’re inspired to dress up as one of the literary serial killers I include in the horrorscopes over at Horror Tree!

June 2024 Horrorscopes and more!

The move day is looming!

If I pull this off with zero dollars, it will be a feat, I tell ya!

Anyway, that’s all very dull…but what’s not dull are the horrorscopes and tarot card readings for June!

And I did a couple of book reviews over at Horror Tree as well!

I miss reading all the blogs so here’s hoping I’ll be in Southern Illinois for long enough to catch my breath at least.

Book Reviews:

Okay, I was too exhausted to find the rest of the individual links, but here’s a link to a whole bunch of good reviews (mine, and others).

Hope you all have a great summer!

I Got Nothing…or “Nothing” Has Me.

Yeah, I couldn’t really summon up a better blog header.

I am moving…AGAIN. 

I’m not sure where, and I’m so preoccupied. Apologies for missing out on all your great posts that I haven’t been able to keep up with blog-reading.

And you know what? I went into my WordPress and saw this “Pending” tab, and I said to myself “Maybe I should check that out” and there was a whole slew of comments in there that weren’t all spam, but actual comments I hadn’t approved. Arrgh, I am so off my Virgo-organized game. Sigh. 

I hope I get back on track, but I just can’t seem to catch my breath and get settled. I can’t even call it the COVID effect anymore, I suppose, but I just am all topsy-turvy still. EVERYTHING seems to be falling by the wayside, and my teaching job/move to Santa Fe is not working out like I hoped.

I’m just gonna stress this again….I am ALL OVER the place, above and beyond my usual ADHD state. 

I did manage to do my April horrorscopes and tarot-card-reading-for-creative-inspiration, so I hope you all are still out there and following!

Oh, and courtesy of my spooky colleague over at Haunt Jaunts (Hi Courtney! *waves*), who sent me a link about a town here, which was linked to another list, which led me to a small town in Illinois that has an annual Vulture Fest (I love Vultures)!   

https://www.enjoyillinois.com/explore/listing/makanda-spring-fest/

Soooo, long story short, I’ve added that to my list of places (Makanda/Carbondale, Illinois and Hot Springs, Arkansas) to head off to. I’m resuming my original plan to hopscotch across the country (I don’t have the $$ for a complete move), exploring places I’ve had an interest in for a while, until I land in the New England area. (I’m open to suggestions and advice about other places to check out, as always!)

Oh, and if you want to say “hey” to Courtney yourself, fly on over to their website and their YouTube channel:

See you after I (hopefully) land somewhere new! 

 

Weary Wednesday…wait, where did Wednesday go?

I’m down to the last couple of weeks for my first class in my MPS program.

I’m down to the last couple of weeks of moving/relocation prep.

I’m down to the last handful of content pieces I’m writing for Horror Tree.

Am I weary?

Yep!

So, yeah, I don’t think I’ll even be able to be on here even sporadically to read blogs and such for the next couple of weeks.

But I’ve got some good book reviews coming up at Horror Tree…and don’t forget to check out my October horrorscopes and my tarot card reading. (Please?)

And here’s my autumn equinox post. Enjoy!

See you on the flip side!

(Goodbye, Kansas…finally!)

“And other dreary worlds you know…” The Cure, Doing the Unstuck

I was so busy “throwing it all away” that I forgot to include the link for my tarot card reading over at HT: https://horrortree.com/september-2023-tarot-cards-for-writing-inspiration/.

Or you can just sing along with me. C’mon, you know you want to…

Beware the Beach!

And not just because of the higher temperatures!

July’s horrorscopes promise to drag you down to the depths of pure zodiac terror…

https://horrortree.com/july-2023-horrorscopes-how-youll-die-at-the-beach/

And, slightly less terrifying is my tarot card reading for writers/creatives:

https://horrortree.com/july-2023-tarot-cards-for-writing-inspiration/

In other news, I’ve started doing book reviews for The Horror Tree. Simply search the HT website for “Epeolatry Book Review” to access tons of great book reviews from myself and others–a perfect opportunity to find your next summer (or midwinter) read!

Lastly, I may be more of a ghost around the WordPress world, at least while I transition into a new schedule (and, perhaps, even after that).

I’ll be working full time, going back to school full time, and making sure my kitties get enough attention (not that they’d let me forget!), and I’m trying to organize a concerned citizen advocacy group here to act on behalf of nonhuman animals here in small-town Kansas–with the hope it will turn into a nonprofit someday. Because this place has an abysmal track record when it comes to animals and animal welfare–as some of you may remember from the heartbreaking owl incident.

So, yes, apologies in advance if I’m not as active over the coming months on here as I should be.

Summer is Abuzz with Horror!

One of the few things I actually like about summer (I’m an autumn aficionado!) is the return of the insects and other creepy crawly life forms.

For the set of June horoscopes I did over at Horror Tree, I wanted to attract attention to insects that are threatened/endangered by the activities of people.

Hope you enjoy, and remember to look where you step…there’s a whole world of amazing lifeforms at your feet!

https://horrortree.com/june-2023-horrorscopes-the-creatures-that-skitter-in-the-night/

As I’ve been trying to figure a lot of stuff out over the past few weeks, I drew upon that energy for June’s tarot reading as well.

https://horrortree.com/june-2023-tarot-card-reading-for-writers-and-creators/

I’m sadly still playing catch-up and not quite back into my usual schedule yet, and 99.9% of the time I’m not even sure what day it is, much less anything else. But I’m making progress, however slowly.

What are your summer plans? Reading anything good so far?

Getting Away From It All…From the Comfort of Home!

Let’s settle down in the comfort of our (dream) homes, or find the gateway to the world of our dreams!

[I started a new day job, but somehow things are more chaotic than ever. I’m running behind on blog-reading and such, and, unfortunately, my prediction is that’ll have to continue for the next couple of weeks, as there’s some big changes (hopefully!) coming over the next few weeks. And, holy heck, am I tired as all get out. I’m gettin’ too old for that pesky thing called work! Ha!]

But here’s my “Tarot Cards for Inspiration” for April…as well as my mock horoscopes!

I’d love to hear what dream home you’ll lay your pen in!

Give the Groundhog Lots of Love Today!

Groundhog

Happy Groundhog Day! Doesn’t this groundhog look adorable? Or at least in need of a hug*!

Speaking of affection, you don’t have to wait another six months for the “romantic” holiday known as Valentine’s Day (Or Galentine’s Day)!

So, yes, I did create some lovey-dovey themed horoscopes, and did a tarot card reading…Horror Tree style, of course!

Hope you enjoy–with one click, and a happily-ever-after can be yours…or for your literary characters!

How will you be celebrating Groundhog Day or Valentine’s Day in your realm?

*Giving random wildlife hugs is not a good idea, in real life. Just in case.

2023 has almost descended!

Happy New Year to those who celebrate it at this time of year!

I’m back from my mini-sabbatical, but haven’t figured out shit, except that I think I really, really want to move to Canada, after an on the fly comment-convo with My Dang Blog, and this post from Christy Birmingham: https://whenwomeninspire.com/2022/12/22/report-womens-healthcare-equality/.

(But that’s a long term goal.)

Anyhoo…I’d figure I’d set you a little fun “game”–make one fortune-telling-esque prediction for 2023–feel free to get as Mulder-out-there as you want–your imagination is the only limit! Please share your prediction in the comments! (Yes, only one!)

Also, I’m pitching this one last time (*laugh*) before I move onto my next kinda-sorta strategy–message me if you want a 2023 fast-track tarot reading–3-card spread for 3 dollars. (I accept payments via Paypal.)

And I got this wonderful planner as a gift over the holiday break (not an affiliate link or any of that stuff). Check it out here: https://nationaldaycalendar.com/store/#!/2023-Planner-for-Entrepreneurs-Marketing-Sales/p/504344692/category=140833111.

See you on the flip side!
