Halloween 2020

Normally, I love Halloween. I decorate the front yard to look like a graveyard and dress up every single year. This year, I put out the Halloween hand towels in the kitchen and the graveyard supplies made it to the front porch, but not past there.

I’m going to buy some candy today, make some gift bags with my youngest and go around the neighborhood dressed up as a witch, leaving candy instead of trick-or-treating. It won’t be the same, but it will be something.

I hope you all have a Happy Halloween!

Best,
Tammy

Tammy loves to build worlds with words, exploring themes the effect of diaspora on the generations born elsewhere than their ancestors with the backdrop of tech or magic and dragons (sometimes both). These stories are inspired by her own family's immigrant experience. She's queer and many of her characters fall somewhere on the LGBTQIA spectrum (though that is not the focus of her work). She's married to an engineer who dances. Together they are raising three precocious teens in the Seattle suburbs. Two of her children are neurodiverse. Her experiences have taught her much about the world, its beauties and its injustices. All of this comes through in her fiction with a healthy dose of absurd humor.
