Hello kitten! I have exciting news!
Hello, and Happy Halloween!
October has flown by – I can’t believe Halloween is almost here. Hubby and I recently went to a ghost talk with a real-life ghost hunter, and it was fascinating! I have lots of ideas for future Confessions of a Closet Medium Series now.
Do you believe in ghosts? I do!
Then, I went to a book signing/costume party and that was super fun. Here I am in the Mad Hatter costume with a gal who came as the Cheshire Cat. I never pass up a chance to wear a costume!

When Catniss Inglenook inherits an old Victorian library, nicknamed the Nook, from her eccentric Aunt Eliza, she never expects it to come with a ghostly companion and a litter of mischievous kittens.
As I roll into the sleepy town of Briarwood, North Carolina, the quaint cobblestone streets and ivy-clad cottages feel like something out of a fairy tale—if the fairy tale included buckets of rain and a sky angrier than a wet cat.
The windshield wipers are in a frenzied battle against the deluge as my ten-year-old VW Bug chugs up to the grand iron gates at the bottom of Inglenook Hill. Brick pillars stand like silent sentinels, guarding the mansion at the top—my inheritance from my Aunt Eliza's will. With a sputtering cough that signals defeat, my car gives up the ghost, leaving me stranded in the storm.
“Great,” I mutter, resting my forehead on the worn steering wheel. The rhythmic drumming of rain is the only reply. “Welcome home, Cat.”
Home. A funny word for a place shrouded in so much mystery, it might as well be Brigadoon. My parents bolted from this town when I was a seven and never looked back. Through the years, whenever I asked about Briarwood and Aunt Eliza, they'd exchange nervous glances before distracting me with a trip to the beach or a new doll. Being an avid reader as I grew, I figured out early on that my family had a secret. One that was tied to my aunt and this town.
A soft light illuminates the plaque on one of the pillars, designating the official name as the Historical Inglenook Library of Curiosities and Fine Literature. It doesn’t mention that my aunt also lived here her whole life. What secrets does it hold?

Hello, kittens!
I love the color purple. Also, pink and silver. Occasionally, black and white (like Princess Winnie's fur!)
Purple is my favorite, though. Every time I wear it, someone compliments me. I swear, they are my people! I should start a club for purple lovers. My favorite mug is purple and I have a box of purple pens.
Experts claim that a person’s favorite color says a lot about their personality. Whether you fancy blue tones or red shades, the colors you prefer offer fascinating insight into your character.
‘Character’, hmm…I’m pretty sure most of my characters love purple, too!
So what does that say about us? I looked it up and found this: Those who love purple are intriguing, lovely, and down to earth. I like it!
