I know it’s terrible, but I skipped Halloween this year. Totally skipped it. Didn’t even awknowledge it. But, I did have a good reason. Instead of Trick-or-treating, I sold over 75 books to retail stores and bookstores up the California coast. Which is so much more satisfying than eating tons of snickers while wearing the same purple wig I wore last year <again>.

Here’s how it happened: The bf and I got in the car Friday night and headed north up the coast, hitting Santa Barbara, Montecito, Santa Ynez, Santa Maria, Solvang and San Luis Obispo on the way.

We brought a box of 120 Katrina’s Christmas kids books and a surf board, and visited the most adorable gift shops, indy bookstores, Christmas specialty stores and bakeries, peddling my book old-world style the entire time, and spreading the Katrina’s Christmas love!
