I mean, I'd say half of my characters probably love a Coca Cola in some fashion if that counts!
Thematically, I'd just bring back those Rowntree bursting bugs, because they're sweet with just a bit of splatter!

To some, Christmas is a time of family and love. But not Scrooge. After the tragic loss of his wife, Christmas became a beacon to grief, and a life long since lost.
Tonight she will return, but will Ebenezer have the strength to confront a painful past in order to save a once promising future?

I know, he was such a gorgeous goof. I think this will always be one of my favourite photos of him though; I was running a bath and he just hopped on the side next to me, looked up at me with those big eyes and instantly started purring as he stared up at me so lovingly

Today is a day for remembering lost pets, so I'd like to honour Merlin. It's been just over a year since he had to go to sleep, but sometimes I can still hear him crying for attention. Only happy when he was resting on me, the world just hasn't quite been the same since I lost my shadow. RIP

Would definitely like to second recommending people check out some MG Mason;
Recently he has published a couple of great old school ghostly shorts that are truly beautiful and unnerving to read.
But he also has an ongoing series (Salmonweird) about a murder mystery in a town of ghosts.

For promo, I'll stick with ghosts and go with my debut novella, A Survivor's Eye.
Imagine a haunted house but with the ghosts in your thoughts, threatening to take control.

Halloween Countdown Day 2 - A Good Marriage.
A really intriguing premise made into a pretty fine but unexciting thriller as a wife stumbles across evidence revealing that her husband might be a serial killer.
Watchable and well acted, but the kind of film that used to be "wait for it to come on TV"

Halloween Countdown Day 1: Wow what a strong start. I'd always been curious but never invested enough to check it out, but this was superb. A haunting & harrowing character study trapped in an eldritch horror casing.
