Last year I wrote a post about why I hate Halloween. Well, another year has gone by, Halloween is only a
few weeks away, and my feelings about the day haven’t changed. However, as much
as I loathe Halloween, as a crafts designer, I have to put my feelings aside
and create Halloween-themed crafts, as does my pseudo-doppelganger author. Featured
above are some Halloween designs she created for the 2015 Halloween issue of Just CrossStitch magazine.
I have it on good authority that author Lois Winston
isn’t all that keen on Halloween, either. Frankly, I think she uses me to
exorcise her Halloween demons. Why she has to project her fears onto me, dumping
her emotional baggage on me, is something I’ll never understand. Just look at
the mess she got me into during Halloween in A Stitch to Die For. Even the jack-o-lantern cookie on the cover
gives me the willies! With one glance at that diabolical pumpkin, you know Lois
has it in for me.
However, if you like Halloween-themed mysteries, you
should enjoy watching me deal with all sorts of things that go bump in the
night—whether real or a figment of my author’s imagination.
A Stitch to
Die For
An Anastasia
Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 5
Ever since her husband died
and left her in debt equal to the gross national product of Uzbekistan,
magazine crafts editor and reluctant amateur sleuth Anastasia Pollack has
stumbled across one dead body after another—but always in work-related
settings. When a killer targets the elderly nasty neighbor who lives across the
street from her, murder strikes too close to home. Couple that with a series of
unsettling events days before Halloween, and Anastasia begins to wonder if
someone is sending her a deadly message.
