October 2006
Welcome October!
The month of my favorite holiday...the last warm breezes are beginning to blow the leaves from the trees as they dance and spin with joy on their way to the grass. Here on the island, you can just start to see the colors start to appear in the thick green trees. A hint of red, a splash of gold, soon the trees will be ablaze in color and we will be in awe of mother nature as always...

As I write this, the thunder is rolling in the distance with a flicker of lighting to brighten the night every once in a while. The pumpkin fields here are full of orange pumpkins nestled in the hay and the fresh scent of fall fills the air as I collect the acorns and pinecones at my feet...

We have wonderful news and some sad news to share. Let's get the sad news out of the way first: After 6 years of being part of Blackmore's Night, Sir Robert of Normandie, our wonderful bassist, will no longer be touring with us. He was an amazing musician, friend and inspiration on stage to us all, but now he must spend time at home with his children as they are growing up all too fast... So, perhaps someday in the future he will be by our sides once again. But for now, we wish him the best of luck for his future and we will remain, as always, friends...

Now onto the happy side of events: Our holiday album, Winter Carols, will be released on November 24th by AFM records! Click here for more details.

As you know, it is a cd that Ritchie and I have been wanting to do for a long time, and finally the time has come. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it...

There are a few interviews that are out now! On Wednesday, October 18, Susan Henderson's Writers Workshop will have my interview and some very interesting and never before seen pictures on her website. Click here. And a heartfelt thank you Sue!

For Halloween fun from my past click here. And just for fun, see if you can recognize anyone on this page. I did quite a few characters for this company back in the day, but this seems to be all that is left of my legacy with them on their website... It still makes me laugh!

Have a magical All Hallow's Eve!
Remember, the masque is to reveal, not to conceal...

Love and light,
