• In Which I Celebrate the Autumn Equinox

    This is a layered image. The main colors are blue, pale purple, and silvery gray. The background layer suggests a birch forest in autumn. Over that is an architectural image of a terrace or balcony with carved, pointed arches supported by columns. The windows or openings framed by the arches look out on vaguely medieval buildings. The whole image is layered with a scattering of stars. The image of a red tattered rose is layered over the central window opening and stars. In pale gray letters o the top third of the image is written, “Autumn Equinox. The Day the Kingdom Changed Forever.” Corner decorations in pale gray adorn the four corners of the image.

    The Autumn Equinox is an important date in Handsome and Hideous. Every year I not only greet with pleasure the coming of autumn in our world, but also remember the special day it is in Tamtir.

    What can I say? Authors are odd people.

    If you’ve read Handsome and Hideous, you know why the Equinox is particularly significant.

    If you haven’t and you’re curious? Find a copy here. Your library may also have access through Libby or Hoopla.

    May your autumn be filled with good things.
