It’s starting to feel quite Halloweeny! The weather has taken a much colder turn over here in Northern Ireland, though I’m enjoying all the gorgeous autumn colours. Taking a dander (walk) through crunchy autumnal leaves is very restorative.

Halloween 365! (With writing is my sanity tee)

This week, my fellow horror-loving bestie texted me a photo of my debut novel, Gods of Avalon Road, in the Halloween display at Belfast Central Library. Never one to pass up a spooky book display, I decided to head on over to the city centre to check it out for myself, while doing a spot of spooky shopping.

Spooky booky! (Like my Halloween T-shirt?)

Btw, there were lots of people in the library; I simply took photos and filmed the video in a way that didn’t show people between the shelves or at tables to respect their privacy. Central Library is a busy, thriving community library in Belfast. Hurray!

Like my Halloween T-shirt? Can I mention again for the hundred-millionth time that I love Halloween, just in case you missed that little piece of Leilanie trivia? Although I wear my multitude of Halloween leggings, T-shirts and dresses all year round, Samhain is the socially acceptable time of year for me to parade around in my witchy cosplay with barely a second glance.

Anyway, that’s all for now. I don’t have a lot of news other than I’m still chipping away at my three WIPs, still teaching creative writing, whittling down my spooky TBR pile and writing to you, dear reader.

Happy hump day, people!
