These Authors Share Their Favorite Halloween Costumes
Ruth Logan
Herne
Crotchety Old Lady Slightly
Sinister... :)
Donna Alward
As little as possible. :) I
confess I'm not really a Halloween person.
Laura
Trentham
I was a roller derby girl for an
adult Halloween party a couple of years ago. Everything was great until after a
couple of drinks, I fell on my tailbone. Nothing was seriously hurt except for
my pride though! The next year, my hubby and I went as bacon and eggs. Very
safe (and delicious:)
Nancy Naigle
Pocahontas! Easy to answer this one because I was
Pocahontas for Halloween in the 2nd grade, the 6th grade, in junior high and
even as an adult...twice. All with different costumes, and each more elaborate
than the last. In the 2nd grade I was
Pocahontas and my little brother (3 years my junior) was Chief Powhatan. My mom
even made a wooden papoose for me and made my baby doll a matching Indian
outfit complete with headband and a feather.
I might just have to find a costume party to attend. I'm in the mood to craft
another Pocahontas outfit this year.
Margaret
Brownley
One year
my six-foot-six husband dressed as the Jolly Green Giant and I was a can of
peas. It took forever to apply the green
makeup, but it was worth it. We took the top prize at every party we attended that
year.
Tara Wyatt
In
college, I dressed up in a red fedora and trench coat and went as Carmen
Sandiego. Where in the world am I? Eating all the candy. That's where I am.
Opal Carew
Genie!
I've always loved genies. I love the magic and the power play between the genie
and the genie's master. I love the costumes because they're sexy and beautiful.
(I used to do belly dancing and made several costumes for myself.)
Emily March
The Uncle
Sam costume we put on our beloved boxer, Doc.
He was disgusted by the ordeal,
but stoic. :)
Melissa
Cutler
Cowgirl
(of course!)
And They Share Their Favorite Scary Movie-
but it turns out many don't have a scary favorite because these romance writers love a happy ending...and if you've ever watched a horror movie you know there's rarely a happy ending in those.
Ruth Logan Herne
None! I'm
a writer, I get scared too easy! Too many what-ifs going on in my head!

Donna Alward
Scary
movies? No way! (Not since I was fourteen!)
While bestselling author DONNA ALWARD was busy studying Austen, Eliot and Shakespeare, she was also losing herself in the breathtaking stories created by romance novelists like LaVyrle Spencer, Judith McNaught, and Nora Roberts. Several years after completing her degree she decided to write a romance of her own and it was true love! Five years and ten manuscripts later she sold her first book and launched a new career. While her heartwarming stories of love, hope, and homecoming have been translated into several languages, hit bestseller lists and won awards, her very favorite thing is when she hears from happy readers!

Nancy Naigle
Scary
movies creep into my dreams so I try not to watch them. I'm such a chicken that
even the movie trailers they put on prime time television freak me out
sometimes! I can't say that I'd call it a "favorite", but the scary
movie that still gives me chills every time I think about it is. . .The
Shining. Eek!

a scary movie.

Opal Carew
I don't
typically watch scary movies, unless you count things like The Day After
Tomorrow, Armageddon, and 2012. (Adam Lambert sang the theme song for 2012 and
I’m a huge fan of his, so that was a delightful bonus!) I did watch Shaun of
the Dead which I thought was fun and I enjoyed Cabin in the Woods, too.
