Each year we read original Halloween stories on the Tuesday night before Halloween.  We were at Doug’s house, and Doug took the prize for the best Halloween story – but they were all wonderful!  Phyllis dressed as Morticia and served as judge.  And a good time was had by all.

For writers and readers alike, this is the best value of the year in Nashville – three days of free events, October 9-11.   Check out the Southern Festival website  for more information, including a list of the sessions you can attend.  If you’ve never been to the Southern Festival, you will be amazed.  And another amazing thing – for more than fifteen years now, the weather has always been perfect for the weekend of the festival.
