Out on the porch there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter... Boxes of my new book! Always exciting to see the newest one in print 😄 👏 📖

To no one's surprise, I'm sure, I love a great b&w colour scheme, if it's not too severe. Looking back through old photos, thought I'd use this one from when my 1st novel came out, using some of my fave Halloween decor.

Officially halfway through the "100 days to Halloween" challenge, so appropriate to post this one, esp. with all the 'witchy' vibes floating around, incl. in my new novel, The Summer Door 😁https://ericajurus.ca/

Despite the depressing lack of sweater weather in our area, there are definite signs of Fall approaching, if you look for them. (All photos are by me)

Pumpkins are out early this year, much to my delight! A local garden centre also had some great planters, so our front portico is looking distinctly autumnal now 😄🍂

My launch is in 5&1/2 weeks, so I have to get my book uploaded for printing by the end of this week. Down to the wire, so exciting! I hope to see many of you @dread_con in Burlington on Oct 17th.

Who knew that writing novels would become a second career? But here I am, getting my 4th novel ready for publication. I feel blessed to be able to bring my stories to your eyes.
