October (Halloween) Films
Time to make a start on the Halloween movies I have lined up for this month.
Halloween 2020 - Funkos #1
Continuing last year's Horror Pop Funko Halloween, here is the scarier special edition version of this fella. Jeepers!
Damn Those Squinting/Dangling Modifiers
Grammar sorted (damn those squinting and dangling modifiers). Now just a final read-through/edit before this thing gets published (hopefully well in time for the Christmas market).
Nostalgia #2
My grandmother gave me the gardening bug, and there are several plants I regularly grow in memory of her love for the flowers. Amongst their number are these precious beauties - Night-scented Stock:
Nostalgia #1
Old Manor Ware ornament from the early 1970s. My father used to buy these on his trips around the country as a coach driver and they have always fascinated me.
The Dryad - a solstice story
I spent this morning continuing my work on the cover of my next book :)
Solstice Stories - The Dryad Cover Design
Coming soon - my first in a series of 4 connected Christmas ghost stories... Started working on the cover design tonight - here's my initial effort:
Solstice ~ Story 2
The second tale of my portmanteau Christmas ghost story is coming along nicely now. The two protagonists are now heading out into the words to kickstart their evening of fun...
Solstice ~ Story 1 Illustration
Illustrations for my new Christmas ghost story - the first of four such tales I am working on. All 4 stories revolve around the same Christmas tree over the same few nights between Mid-Winter Solstice and Christmas Day...
Jade - Hummel's Sunset
I do love this variety of Jade (Crassula ova). It is called Hummel's Sunset. Look at those colours :)

Torture Garden
Continuing my run of watching portmanteau horror films of late (without a doubt my favourite movie genre), I watched Torture Garden today. It's a lovely little film, with the first story, about a greedy playboy wanting to get his hands on a horde of witch's gold he thinks his uncle has discovered, easily being easily my favourite stand out tale in the collection :)
Writer's Block!
Despite her best efforts to hinder my progress, tale one of my portmanteau Christmas ghost story is now complete :)
T - 6 - Nearly There
I am Nearly there. I just have the last scene of my 1st Christmas ghost story to work on now...
T - 7
I am absolutely determined to finish the first tale of my portmanteau novel before I return to my office job next week...
T - 9 Days
I have just nine days left of my pandemic lockdown before I return to work :o/
Determined to make the most of this time, today I finally managed to completed the latest Sweyne's Eye photography zine. It should be hopefully be published sometime over the next few days :)
