Welcome to the Spooktacular Halloween Blog Hop!  Every day there will be a new post and every post will have a word in red that you will need to complete a sentence in order to enter to win the big giveaway.  It’s that time of the year!  The time to watch lots of scary movies, read scary books, visit haunted houses and of course, eat lots of candy. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and yes, it is a holiday (even if we still have to go to work and/or school)! What you might be surprised to find out is that although I love scary and spooky movies and books, it's a whole different story when spooky characters come to life.   Put me in a room with clowns and/or creepy dolls, and you will hear the SCREAMS from far, far away.   The sad part is that I seem to attract those things.   Just earlier this month, I was at Monster Fest where clowns seemed to enjoy staring at me.   I even have pics to prove it. I al...

She’s excited to be living with her two best friends and looking forward to her new summer lifeguarding job. Life seems headed toward more stable waters, or so she thinks. On her first day of work Zadie comes head to head with her biggest regret, Henry Fletcher.    Henry’s the stupidly adorable boy Zadie crushed hard on in high school. The one too chicken to make his move three years before. He’s the reason Zadie found the courage to move from the sidelines to being a risk-taker.
