Donuts and Darkness and Blogs. Oh, My!

Posted on by

Did you know I posted about baked apple donuts at Fatal Foodies today?

Did you know I’ve been given a One Lovely Blog Award by N. R. Williams?

Did you know I’m part of the Fall Fiction Frenzy at Dark Valentine Magazine? My story is a dark fantasy called “The Edge of the End”. Not sure which day in October it will appear, but read them all!

So now you know.

WRITING PROMPT: A character finds a recipe on the internet and tries it out. How does that go?

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    Nice prompt. Now you’ve got me wondering if a character could find a recipe for a despicable magical chant on the web by accident. [I’m a pessimist so the results would never be good though the character might find a way to triumph.]

      Hi, Enid–what a great idea! Was it in code–the message consisted of the flavors or colors–or did she bake actual physical messages in them?

    I’m thinking of hiding some paper inside, like fortune cookies. (I’m sorry my book link in the previous message didn’t work. I’ve fixed it now)

    Yuck, Marian, I thought I’ve fixed the link. Apparently not. Here it is again.

    But to compensate for you to put up with me, I’m writing a short beginning here. You remeber Charlotte who married Mr. Collins in Pride and Prejudice…

    Mrs. Charlotte Collins downloaded the cupcakes recipe from taste.com. She put a small piece of paper with the words “You will die!” inside the cake mixture. With a brilliant smile, she…
