You might recall that I was trying to coerce my son into going as Tom Brady for Halloween again this year, which consists of him wearing a jersey he already owns and smearing a little black make-up under his eyes. When he was reluctant, I tried to talk him into going as a Bruin. He wanted to go as a Canuck. It went downhill from there.

Then the little guy said, “I’ll be Tom Brady again. It’s okay, Mom, I know you’re busy.”

Heartstrings. Tug. Yeah. So yesterday I did a little overpriced, last-minute shopping and…*drum roll*…

The Dread Pirate Fabio!

He did his best to Fabio the hair, but it was a wig and not a very expensive one, so he couldn’t get a good wind-blown flip. But he got a lot of compliments on his costume and he was a happy dude, so all’s well. And I have candy.

Also, Barnes & Noble has links now, so you can preorder Mistletoe and Margaritas for nook as well as for Kindle. And the Holiday Kisses collection is also available to preorder for nook and Kindle if you want all four contemporary novellas!
