About zombies -

Saw a lot of them at Crypticon this weekend in Everett, WA. What an amazing range of costumes! Super decorations and lots of panels and activities. And zombies everywhere, as well as vampires and other scary types. Okay, I went to do research because I am working on a new urban fantasy series for a RPG publisher. The sci fi/fantasy cons are also a great way to meet people who write, edit, or read the genre and I met all of the above. Crypticon is more of a fun party type con and included games, dancing, live performers, and also people who made jewelry and costumes and even makeup to go with costumes.

From Mudflat's Claire here's today's fortune cookie: MONDAY, LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR BRINGS ANNOYING WORK CHANGES BUT GOOD EMOTIONAL VIBES. Rest of the week is posted on the Prediction page at http://phoebematthews.com.

Mudflat Fortune Cookie -


Part of the fantasy world is fortunetelling. And Mudflat. Mudflat is a neighborhood in Seattle where old magic gets handed down through families, and the fortuneteller plays a big role in the Mudflat series. So once a week a fortune gets posted in Claire's Prediction page. If you are totally bored, hop over and check it out. I won't post here on a weekly basis as that would be taking up too much space, but I'll post now for the balance of this week to give an idea of these simplistic fortunes based on the phase and placement of the Moon and the placement of the Sun and the influences of the decanates. If you know what decanates are, stop now because you probably know a lot more about fortunetelling than I do.

From the fortuneteller, for November 12 thru 15: INDECISION ON THURSDAY, DISAGREEMENT ON SATURDAY. OUCH. OKAY, A FEW GOOD INFLUENCES SWEETEN THE ATMOSPHERE ON SUNDAY.
