Well, I'm finally here. Sorry about the late arrival. My computer broke down on September 30—the day before my book's release. Perfect timing! Starting off the scary month in a scary way! Anyway, the hard drive has been replaced, and I'm up and running again. Still playing catch-up, but I wanted to come on and do this post.
This month's question is, "What is your favorite scary story?" I could go with the Legend of Sleepy Hollow because it's Halloweeny. But I'm going with The Polar Express. Yep. Christmas. Do you know how creepy that movie is? Ghosts riding the train. Near-death experiences. Not to mention how creepy the characters look and how dark the setting is. I watched it with my kids when they were little. It scared the heck out of them! But I still like the idea of believing in the Christmas spirit—the magic of the little bell.
What's your favorite scary story or movie?
And finally, here it is. The last book of the Bubba and Squirt series—Bubba and Squirt's The Legend of the Lost Pearls!
I haven't been able to stop by and see everyone, but I want to say THANK YOU to all of you who are part of my tour and are blogging about this book. You guys saved the day. Without you, this release probably would have been a bust. LOL! And a huge thank you to all of you who stop by and comment every month. I appreciate all of you!
Congratulations on the publication of your latest book. How invigorating and satisfying that must be.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's been quite a year with three books released!
DeleteHi, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to know you are back up and running, dear friend, and congratulations on the release of your latest and last Bubba and Squirt adventure story. I wish you great success with it.
I never watched Polar Express and had no idea it was so dark and potentially disturbing for very young viewers. For a scary movie to qualify as one of my favorites, it needs to pull out all the stops and scare me deep down. Two film trilogies that deliver more fear and loathing than any others I can name at the moment are the three-part Hostel series that began in 2006 and the Terrifier series which started in 2016.
Thanks for visiting Shady's Place this month, dear friend Sherry. Have a safe and happy weekend and look for my next post coming your way October 26.
I've never seen either of those movies, but I'm sure they'd give me nightmares!
DeleteOh no, your computer! I'm glad you're up and running now. Congrats on the new release. I did see it posted everywhere, so that did go well.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad other people helped spread the word!
DeleteThe computer story was scarier than the other one LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL! Funny!
DeleteIt's a drag about your computer, especially the day before your book was released. Congrats on another book in your series. And The Polar Express is a great choice I hadn't thought of.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe that darn computer! Oh well. Life goes on!
DeleteCrappy timing with the computer!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new release.
You're telling me! And thanks!
DeleteI had a complete computer loss early August, and rebuilding my digital environment took a few hard weeks. We sort of live in our computers, don't we. :'(
ReplyDeleteSorry it happened just before you new release, Yikes.
It's amazing how dependent we are on them. Can't do our jobs without them!
DeleteSo sorry for your computer breakdown. And what timing.
ReplyDeleteIt was a complete bummer. But I'm so happy it got worked out!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your computer problems. Glad things are resolved. Congrats on your new release. I have never seen the movie version of The Polar Express- but I did hear from other people that it seemed scary too. I am curious!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to check it out. It's a scary Christmas movie!
