Spooky Reading Pics

With our new friends at Oak Park Art League (OPAL) we had a fabulous time at the spooky reading on October 19, 2024. Bryan and Phoebe worked tirelessly to create a scary good time at an all-day extravaganza. A haunted loft, intriguing artwork with an art fair, children’s games, even the house had a spooky feline makeover. There were many delicious treats including smores over a campfire!

Margot McMahon, a member of OPAL and a Write Volumes’ author, read “Sorrows Whisper Still” found in Shades of Ghostly Horror.

Margot’s work can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Margot-McMahon/author/B0983X68KG

We’re grateful Write Volumes was invited to join OPAL for this terror-rific event. Thanks to all of those who attended. And if you couldn’t make it, maybe you can come next year!
