Book Review - Two and Twenty Dark Tales

Halloween is just around the corner - so, what better time to pick up a dark tale...or twenty...and sit down in a dimly lit room to read...?

Two and Twenty Dark Tales, published by Month9Books, is an anthology, where 20 authors team up to bring Mother Goose's nursery rhymes to life. These rhymes have always been dark but now they are even darker and, in my opinion, better. 

The Wish by Suzanne Young was my favorite of the tales maybe because it was a dark romance.

The Bad Thing about this book is that it won't be out until October 16, 2012.

Bridget Zinn's Silent Auction was Friday 5/29

It was a great night. Bridget looked beautiful standing here with Jone.

And I finally got a chance to sit down and chat with Suzanne Young, who I met at a conference a year ago but have never been lucky enough to spend any time with. She's a bubbly bundle of energy and she ran around selling raffle tickets for the cause.

I also got a chance to sit between the two wonderful writers who both go by the same name: Lisa, Schroeder and Madigan.

Plus, the great illustrater Matt Holme from Baby Mouse was there.

My husband and I were checking out the items up for bid, when I pointed out a pet message that I thought would be fun to bid on.

He said, "Are you crazy? If anyone's getting a message, it's going to be me."

So we ended up winning a Thai message for my hubby. It sounds heavenly.

I was lucky enough to win a critique from Margot Finke. There were other great prizes and other great people there. Check out the links to read more.

A special Thank-You! to Jone MacCulloch for all her hard work putting the event together and Lisa Nowak!!!

(Two of these photos were taken by Suzanne Young - I only had my cellphone with me - so I'm sure you can guess which ones those are. ;-)
