by Lisa Weaver from the November 4, 2024 issue
Tagline: As a Halloween enthusiast down on her luck when it came to love, Cassie wasn't expecting to fall head over heels for her handsome client
Observations: I'm constantly surprised at how well the authors can deliver a story that's the same, but different. Maybe my senior brain is malfunctioning, but I can't remember seeing a pumpkin-carving/pet costume contest story before. So, well done, Ms. Weaver.
I also noticed many fall and Halloween turns-of-phrase in her story. Did you catch them all?
"...she was batty about Halloween."
"...the shiver that zizagged down Cassie's spine...had nothing to do with things that went bump in the night..."
"...his gaze as hot as a raging bonfire."
That sort of thing can really help set the scene/mood.
I always enjoy Ms. Weaver's stories.
