#SundayBlogShare Writespiration #146 52 Weeks in 52 Words Week 51
I haven’t had much chance recently to have time for writing. Oh, that makes me so sad! So I thought it would be nice to have a go at Sacha Black’s Writespiration by writing a story in just 52 words.
The prompt – Write about the night you spent in a cemetery really got me thinking…
This is my entry… Be prepared … this ended up being definitely in the horror/dark humour genre!
Marti and I didn’t want to appear chicken, so we accepted a dare – A night in a cemetery, alone, partying with the dead. Nothing creepy happened or so we thought, until I awoke with a freshly dug grave next to me with the inscription: Dig Marti out quick, if you dare, Chicken.

Sorry that wasn’t very Christmassy! Lol… I did get my writing analysed ages ago and it said I wrote like Stephen King (I wish! So this is just my tribute to him!)
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and Joyful New Year. No walking late at night in cemeteries folks!
Oh, by the way my YA Novel is currently on special offer … on Amazon Kindle.

#ABRSC Read and Review – Marcia Meara, K Morris and Bette A. Stevens
Thank you to Robbie for joining in the #ABRSC read and review and reading not one but three great books by authors Bette A Stevens, Marcia Meara, and introducing me to K Morris.
I don’t know how I have managed to do so much reading lately. I think listening to audio books definitely helps me make good use of my time. I have three more reviews of great books to share before Christmas just in case you are looking for last minute presents.
Swamp Ghosts: Riverbend Book 1 by Marcia Meara
I listened to the audio book of Swamp Ghosts and I really enjoyed both the book and the narrator. The narrator’s voice perfectly complimented the story and really added to my enjoyment of this book.
Maggie Devlin is a beautiful but conflicted woman with a past. She has lived alone, providing for herself by running ecotours from her boat, for a long time. She is independent and she doesn’t get involved with men, particularly men who either work for her or who she works for. That is until Gunnar Wolfe comes into…

Keep calm and read a book! (ft. bakerdays)
Lots of wonderful reasons to keep calm and read a book, via Jenny in Neverland.
You know I love books by now… Everyone knows I love books. They are my calling. My soul-mate. My one true love. I honestly do not know what I would do without books and the incredible stories and lessons then hold within them. I’ve loved books ever since I was little and it was my mum which firmly got me into reading, after she used to read to me of a nighttime, tucked up in her bed when my dad used to work nights. We got through Harry Potter and Narnia and since then, I started reading Jacqueline Wilson books religiously. I’ve never lost my love for books and reading although it has dwindled in places down the line. Like when I was 18 and would much rather be drunk multiple nights a week rather than getting lost in my favorite books!
