I can’t wait to release the book so I can spend more time in the garden! 😆

If you love #vampires, why is today special?

Because 2 #movies were released that have become popular pop culture icons with respect to the bloodsuckers.

The Lost Boys was released July 31, 1987, while Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie) was released on the same day in 1992. 😁

We saw Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Va., over the long weekend.

I was especially excited to see the mausoleum of W. W. Pool, otherwise known as the Richmond Vampire. The #vampire supposedly awoke from sleep after the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad’s Church Hill tunnel collapsed in 1925.
