Perhaps this tarot card reading can inspire some deliciously dark tales of love, loss, and redemption (or revenge) this Valentine’s Day!
If you’re curious to dive deeper into love readings, many online sites offer tarot card pictures along with detailed descriptions of each card’s meaning. These visual cues can help you interpret the messages from the deck and see how they apply to your own romantic journey. Whether you’re seeking answers about your current relationship, wondering what the future holds, or exploring the depths of your own heart, tarot readings offer a unique way to gain insight into the mysteries of love. Some sites even offer personalized readings to guide you through those questions that linger in the back of your mind.

Instead of my usual cuppa tea, I’m joining C.M. Saunders in drinking pots and pots of coffee, mainly to fuel not only my Horror Tree writing bits, but school and moving and cat rescue…and, well, you get the idea. Let’s get onto the interview; it’s more interesting, for sure!

I’m taking tea with Dr. Rachel Knightley in a green room as we talk all things theatre (I practically grew up in one as I have a family member who’s an actor and, yes, it was a complete coincidence that I chose a theatre theme for my October horrorscopes: https://horrortree.com/october-2023-horrorscopes-how-youll-die-in-a-theatre/), the chimerical David Bowie, and navigating the truly terrifying world…of writing!
