Creepies, Crawlies & Other Scary Things Like Politics
by Bethany Maines
Welcome
to the Halloween / Election Season where we’re all hiding under our covers and
hoping that come sunrise it will all be over and the tangerine menace will have
gone back under his rock. I don’t know about you, but I long for the days
when October child safety meant checking the candy for tampering, not checking
the news for use of the word “pussy”. When the boomers talk
about bringing back the “good old-days” I nod along, but I’m pretty
sure we’re talking about different old days. My definition of good old
days was when I didn’t have to listen to a year-long build up to an election.
So, basically, 1984. Can Back to the
Future happen now?

Sadly, Doc Brown has not turned up
to rescue me. So I’m forced to devise my own escape plan. It’s called
books. I’m going to bury my nose in a book or computer and read and write my
way through October. In case you wish to enact your own escape plan, I’m offering
this giveaway opportunity from my publishing company Blue Zephyr Press.
Enter for a chance to win a $75 Amazon Gift Card, one of three print
novels (Exile by Karen
Harris Tully, An Unseen
Current by Bethany Maines,
and Perfect Likeness by J.M. Phillippe), and one lucky
winner will win five e-books (Exile and Inheritance by Karen
Harris Tully, An Unseen Current and Wild Waters by
Bethany Maines, and Perfect Likeness by J.M. Phillippe).
Contest runs through 10/30/16.
