Mwa-ha-ha-happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!

I have a confession - I'm a bit of a wimp. Scary stories give me nightmares, I can't even watch horror films, and in my whole life I had never carved a Halloween pumpkin!

But this year I have embraced Halloween.

I have gone pumpkin-picking...

I have carved a pumpkin (much harder than I thought!)

 I went on a spooky lantern-lit walk through the underground labyrinth that once imprisoned Dracula! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

And I even have a spooky book coming out with Maverick Books - "Scary Scott"!

and a Halloween story for teen readers "Trick or Tweet" in the fab Stories From The Edge anthology

What's your favourite spooky story?

Whatever you're up to, I hope you have a very Happy Halloween!

There are some very funny footprints in the snow in my garden - just like in my book FUNNY FOOTPRINTS!
