Why I Write about the Early 1900s

Today I'm blogging over at Corsets, Cutlasses, and Candlesticks, the new YA and middle-grade historical fiction site I launched with eight other authors in September.

The theme this week is our favorite time periods, and I'm explaining how growing up near Disneyland in Southern California can turn a person into a historical novelist.

I'm also kicking off my October tribute to Halloween music today by sharing my very first favorite ghost song, "Grim Grinning Ghosts"...also from Disneyland.

Great post over at CC&C! Is Haunted Mansion your favorite ride? It's always been mine--just hearing the song makes me want to go back.

It's a close toss-up between Haunted Mansion and Pirates. I love them both. Hearing the song makes me want to go back, too. :)
