All of my grand plans for bringing my manuscript in on deadline got washed down the drain after last week&#8217;s newsworthy events sent me into a depression tailspin that was also experienced by basically everyone in the entire country. I&#8217;m sure productivity levels were through the roof last week, let me tell you.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, what that means for you is that the blog posts will continue to be&#8230;not here until I get the freaking book done. I&#8217;m so close. Like, a chapter and an epilogue close.<\/p>\n<p>But I do have another Spooky Story Time for you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0 <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wQucDMQ_eYA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This one is about my two visits to the Sorrel-Weed House in Savannah, GA. Yes, it really is a half-hour long video. It&#8217;s edited down from fifty minutes. I just have a lot to say about paranormal investigations, okay?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also time to figure out what we&#8217;re recapping next. I had this wild fantasy of never recapping a book ever again but since\u00a0<em>Handbook For Mortals<\/em> is over and the sequel hasn&#8217;t come out yet, I&#8217;ve had a\u00a0lot of people saying, &#8220;You should recap [insert book here] next!&#8221; What we&#8217;re gonna do is this. We&#8217;re going to nominate books using this handy form:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0 <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSeVtYuIYHVMdCZ36cwtnmKOKg3ib4HE9H8hsHFQGZvlJ_63jg\/viewform?embedded=true\" width=\"640\" height=\"860\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\">Loading&#8230;<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll leave nominations open until October 19, at which point the three books with the most nominations will be moved to semi-finals voting. If you fill out the optional question about why it would be a good fit, I may use your anonymous answer in support of your title if it advances to the finals.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all the news that&#8217;s fit to print.
