My Yearly Ode to HalloweenHello Fallen Friends,
It's that time of the year again when, the ghosts and ghoulies and
vampires (can't forget those guys and gals, right?) rise from the grave. This Halloween, I'm more excited than ever to be
preparing to celebrate.
With the completion of my seven-year obsession, aka my
debut novel When Copper Suns Fall, comes a surreal satisfaction. To accomplish one's goals is a task we all struggle with.
I mean, let's face it, challenges, family matters, and just plain old everyday annoyances can deter our plans. The trick,
as always, is to keep the faith. Stay in touch with friends and family. Get out in the community and volunteer to help someone
in need. And eat as much candy as the rest of the kids on Halloween night!
This
year, I'll play the part of the skeleton bride again. My kids will be zombies, my baby nephew will be a mad doctor. We'll
all have fun being one big gang of menaces. At the end of the day, being successful is about letting go of life's expectations,
and embracing the things that matter the most. And if you decide to dress up as one of the walking dead, then don't let anyone
talk you into feeling silly about it. Until next time.
Yours in Prose, KaSonndra

The Cover is Unveiled...At last! The cover for my debut novel When Copper Suns Fall is here. I hope you
like it. The story behind its creation is almost as intriguing as the cover itself. All I can say is many many years of blood,
sweat, and most definitely tears have finally paid off. When Copper Suns
Fall is not only a story of hope, but it is also a tribute to a woman who inspired me to dream. Someone who told me to go
and ask the flowers, but have a pen ready when they answer you. A woman whose memory will live on in my heart, and in my story
forever. Tonight's reveal is for my boys, readers, betas, writing mentors, school teachers, professors...but most of
all it's for my grandmother, Nezzetta Tomlinson Wall.
Yours in Prose, KaSonndra
