Halloween! Let's talk Grim Reaper

So, I am going to go along with the theme from my story the Grim Reaper's Novice Soul Collector series. What character's do you think Grim Reaper should have? Should he be all suited up or carrying his trade-marked scythe and that long dark cloak?
I would love to hear your views.

Grim Reaper's Novice Soul Collector series published by Trestle Press

For Ana, the price for soul trading didn’t come cheap.

It has been two years ago since she traded her soul for the souls of the four members of her family, and took up the post of the Soul Collector, therefore becoming Grim Reaper’s Novice. Her job: collecting mature human souls. Soon, she will be tested before being accepted as a Soul Collector Graduate. If she passes the test, her happiness is guaranteed, and Grim will free her family’s souls. If she doesn’t…

My debut novel 'The Grim Reaper's Novice Volume One Soul Collector Series' published by Trestle Press is out now on Amazon  Yay! I'm editing the continuation of the story and ideas keep popping in my head that I have to pull on those mental brakes. Pure intoxicating fun!

Finally, my weekend.

This is the Haas Building. 20th century building all glass, steel and stone right opposite the 11th Century St. Stephen's Cathedral. The difference is amazing.

Sunday. The end of my busy week. While everyone else's weekend is over, mine is just about to begin. Yay!

On Thursday afternoon, while working on my research for The Grim Reaper's Novice (my current project), I visited the impressive 11th century  St. Stephen's Cathedral, and climbed the 343 steps leading to the South Tower Watchman Chamber. The view up there was simply breathtaking. At the height of 87 feet above ground, people walking around the St. Stephen's Square resembled moving dots.
This is how an eagle feels soaring high in the sky, it's razor-sharp eyes searching for prey. 
The thought crossed my mind as I drank in the sweeping view of the city as far as my eyes could see.


Afterwards I visited the catacombs. I found the history intriguing and disturbing at the same time. Call me morbid, but I'll visit again. I find the serenity within the silent, cool rooms quite comforting.

Oh, what a cold, rainy day!

It's cold, windy and rainy here in Vienna. The kind of weather which requires a hot mug of Coffee-Cocoa to stimulate the creative alleys in my mind.

Now, sitting in front of my computer, a mug of this special magical brew in my hand, I find myself stuck. Nothing, no bulb lighting in my head. No voices in my head. Blank. It's absolutely drepressing! Maybe I might just switch to something more...um... potent, enough to shock the creativity awake. 

Or just curl on the sofa and finish reading 'Die for me' by Amy Plum. For those of you who haven't had a chance to read this, it's awesome! 

Beginning first chapter - The hook

I think I have written, edited and reedited the first chapter about ten times. Somehow I cannot seem to get it right, to manage that hook and suspense. Is it only me?
