Autumn
is here which means Halloween isn’t too far behind.
As
some of you may know, I love Halloween tales. I particularly enjoy writing
simple and silly Halloween stories with and for my boys.
Some
people give plates of holiday treats or sing carols at your door. We create silly tales and share them with our
friends. It makes us happy and it is our
holiday tradition. And it saves you from
having to hear us sing. Which we can't
do. Seriously. It's awful.
Take a story instead.
We
would like to share our stories with you.
From now until October 15th, you can get free Halloween adventures.
Below
is a description of the stories and a little bit about who the story might be
best suited for. Shoot me an email, reply below, or
text me to let me know what you would like.
If
you are not local, please include your address so I know where to send your
Halloween treat (or trick!).
Children's
Stories for Little Ones
Creatures and Creepies
Creatures and
Creepies is a Halloween counting story.
Children enjoy counting the pictures on each page. Creatures and Creepies is six half pages and
laminated to withstand drool.
Illustrated with clip art.
Appropriate for children aged one year to three years.
The House on the Hill
The House on the
Hill is a rhyming story about the creatures of a house as they prepare for a
fun Halloween party. The House on the
Hill is ten quarter pages. Illustrated
with clip art. Appropriate for children aged two to five years.
Children's
Stories for Medium Ones
In the Graveyard
In the Graveyard
is a rhyming story about the creatures that roam the graveyard. In the Graveyard is six half pages. Illustrated with clip art. Appropriate for children aged four to seven
years. Sort of. I mean, who lets their four year old read
about ghosts in a graveyard?
Pumpkin Masquerade
Pumpkin Masquerade
is a rhyming story about four little pumpkins who are dressing up for a
Halloween masquerade. Pumpkin Masquerade
is eight full pages. It used to come
with stickers that the kids could use to 'dress' the pumpkins as the story is
told but...no longer. Illustrated with
clip art. This story has a lot more
‘story’ to it and is probably especially appropriate for older children between
three and seven years.
Quivering Quimby
Quivering Quimby
is a story about a ghost who is scared of every bump and thump in the night and
the calm spider who helps him to see the goodness in the darkness. Quivering Quimby is sixteen full pages and is
illustrated by clip art. Quivering
Quimby is appropriate for children from three to seven years. Updated from last year.
Naughty Neville
Naughty Neville is
an inappropriate children's story about a little boy who delights in making
mischief all night long on Halloween.
Naughty Neville wreaks havoc and gets away with it...or does he?
Naughty Neville is
sixteen full pages and is illustrated with clip art. I would love to tell you what ages this is
appropriate for but...while it is a fun read, it is not exactly...responsible. The boys think it is hilarious...and I do
too.
Because we, apparently, have
twisted senses of humor.
Young Adult
and Adult Stories
Grimmton
Grimmton is a
despicable children’s story that is utterly and completely inappropriate for
children. It ought not to be attempted
by anyone really.
Seeing someone
take their little sister Emerald, two brothers, Phineas and Quimby, embark on a
daring and dangerous adventure in the town of Grimmton
I wrote this short
story because I was a little tired of the happy Halloween stories. I wanted to read something dark and perilous,
filled with repulsive Halloween creatures, and brave little boys (that remind
me of my own).
The story is
seventeen full pages and includes six chapters and an epilogue. It is not for children and I cannot imagine
any adult wanting to reach such a despicable tale. But there it is. Order it if you dare...
A Novel Existence
According to
Lilliana, it's true love. Except her
chosen guy is well...still living...and she is technically not.
A Novel Existence
is a short, young adult story in eleven full pages.
Fenton and Belina
What if you could see your loved ones after
death? What if it was just for a short
time?
Fenton and Belina is a short story in six
full pages with two chapters.
*Note: None of these stories is perfect. Most, if not all, probably contain rhyming,
grammar, and punctuation errors. They
are simply meant to amuse - not to win precision awards.
Get your order in
soon so you can enjoy reading these stories before Halloween!
So I just spent a lovely amount of time catching up on your adventures. Cool, indeed. Baby is delicious. Loving the throwbacks, I envy sisters like you do red hair. Miss you. Wish we could figure out how to catch up more. I have an idea and will email you. It's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I get a funny feeling up my spine when you suggest that it would be 'hilarious'? Are we going to rob a bank together? Because I should warn you that in my strict code of conduct, I only feel morally in the right when I am stealing hard to find books...not money.
ReplyDeleteHowever, that scruple aside, I agree - we need to catch up more. How can I throw my sons at your daughters if we don't keep in touch? I mean, I suppose we could always pretend there is great enmity between our families and hope that that creates a spark. No, I am serious. It's totally a thing. I read about in a book once by a man named Shakespeare.
Well if you don't like my plan then we should definitely go with yours. Throw it at me in an email. I'm sure I will laugh. Either in mirth or horror is still to be decided...
They meet a rather tragic end, the families you refer to by old Willy. I lean to happy musicals. Let's find one of those. And have you thought about the burgled money eventually going toward the honest purchase of good books? I'm just saying...
