Alyson Reuben's Blog: A Bite of Reuben Sandwich

Happy Monday, everyone!  I trust y'all had a deliciously creepy Halloween?  We did at my house.  Below is a picture of the three ghouls I spent the evening with.  The first ghoul on the left is my daughter -- the "Spider Queen".

Moving on... Today, I'm excited to be a part of the Next Big Thing, an author tag chain.  I've participated in tags before, but this one is different because we "tag-ees" aren't supposed to talk about our latest published story.  Instead,...

Happy Monday!  At least, I hope it is for you!  Time gets away from me and I noticed that I haven't posted a blog for a while.  So I thought I'd add a post about reading, which is something I've been trying to do a lot of lately.  I read all kinds of books, but there's something particularly fun about holiday stories.  So, during this month, my books are either Halloween-related or have a mystery element.  Here's my list:

HAPPY LABOR DAY!!  
Hi, everyone!  Didn't August speed by like a searing rocket?  If you're like me, you had several things going on at once.  For everyone in my household, August brought about the beginning of a new school year, a mini vacation, sporting events, and a couple of community fundraisers.  On top of all that, I've also been preparing for my September book release!  More about that later...  So, as I trek through all these other activities, there...
