Long before fairies became cute little creatures, in folklore they were hazardous to humans. Tonight's blog post looks at the culture of the Fae in both old & modern literature, including my latest novel. #EricaJurusAuthor #ejchaosroads #ejroadsblog ericajurus.ca/page-blog-po... #booksky

Out on the porch there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter... Boxes of my new book! Always exciting to see the newest one in print 😄 👏 📖

Still at it, adding some juicy new facets. It's one of the fun things about editing, the tweaks that make the story better. 🤔💭⌨

Countless people were charmed by Hallmark's first foray into a witchy movie, & I still love it, esp for the heroine's Halloween decor & the evocative theme music. The movies & series were largely filmed in S Ontario.

Magic can be good...or bad. Who's using it for what in the world of the Chaos Roads?

The answer will reveal itself to my protagonist soon.

As a writer, you know the flowers are there, but sometimes you really have to work at coaxing them out.

Stage 3 in the evolution of a novel: the draft goes to my beta readers. (Stage 1: write, Stage 2: edit) Writing horror is new to me, & writing spicy romance also, so 🤞that they at least like the story.

Hubby & I love a good outdoor spooky attraction when we travel. Last fall we did Pumpkinferno in Penetanguishene, ON. Cool temps, coloured leaves & hauntings throughout a 19th‑century naval military outpost. We had a great time!

To borrow from The Music Man, we got trouble, right here in Llithfaen, with a capital T! I'm glued to my laptop, writing the last few chapters of The Summer Door - they're a doozy.

I'm always fascinated by really vintage architecture, and took a photo of this beautiful old wall in Hamilton today. Must use this in a book!

Currently, the eerie town of Llithfaen is celebrating its annual Strawberry Festival, which coincides with the Summer Solstice. A mysterious black-striped tent has appeared in Chimera Park. Things are about to get weird...er.
