FREE spooky books and pumpkin soup

Hi, All! I’m getting excited for Halloween and offering a plethora of FREE spooky books in my newsletter today! Scroll down for the link while I stir this soup, will you?

Hmmm… My soup is almost ready. Now, I’d better make a start on the crunchy bat wing frittata. Hey! What’s in the cauldron, I hear you say?

Yum! Homemade pumpkin soup, that’s what!

And not just with any pumpkin, but with a Hokkaido pumpkin that is incredibly yummy and tender. I don’t know about you but I wash its skin well and leave it in! It is soft and has a wonderful texture when cooked. Plus, it means, you get even more beta-carotene 🙂

I liquidize the soup before serving but leave out about a cupful of chunks so I can throw them in the plates for decoration.

My recipe includes ginger and parsley, and it’s so warming and nutritious – an excellent choice for Halloween and any wintry evening, for that matter. You won’t find it in my recipe, but these days I also add 1/2 a teaspoon of turmeric to the cauldron (sorry, I meant the pot!)

Turmeric adds extra nutritional value to the dish. Plus, the color yellow makes a striking contrast to the green lizard tail salad I serve on the side (just kidding!)

GET THE RECIPE – MINUS THE LIZARD TAILS!

FREE spooky episodes! Lizzie is not your average tourist. She’s going to Greece on a mission. And it involves a shape-shifting, evil witch!

FREE books, pink skies and more feline naughtiness!

In an earlier post. I showed you Sissi’s currently preferred spot for catching birds. My husband took this photo the other day when he ventured outside, first thing in the morning. He took it to show me the small bits of feathers that were scattered everywhere before clearing it all up. Thankfully, he saved me from the sight of the poor birdie itself. By the time he’d found it it was much too late to change its sad fate.

On a happier note, here is a feeder my husband rustled up for Sissi and her mother, Loulou, so they could get some sustenance during our short breaks away from home last month. This meant we only had to ask our kindly neighbour to replenish the water bowl. Sissi went in straight to the feeder to eat when we placed it outside the first time, while Loulou, always skittish and over-careful, took a few moments to be convinced to go near it, let alone eat. Once she realized it had neither claws nor teeth, she was fine haha

In my latest newsletter, I am sharing a bunch of alluring photos, and even a short video, from the unforgettable experience I had of the sunset at Cape Sounio last month.

I make my newsletters fun by sharing photographs from my life in Greece and a bunch of kindle book freebies every time!

FREE books, an impromptu air show, an ancient temple and Lord Byron’s carving

Greece is having a summer for the books. After two devastating fires earlier this month in the Peloponnese and Evia that burnt thousands of acres of forest land, many homes, and even wiped out whole villages from the map, it was ‘our turn’ last week here in West Attica. A fire in the area of Villia blazed for five consecutive days, every day getting closer and closer to my seaside town near Athens, making everybody nervous. I do confess, I did pack, just in case. The only ray of sunshine we had last week was the swims at the local beach that daily came with a free air show! Both Erickson helicopters and Canadair planes kept coming over to refill. Even 6 Canadair planes at one time. And they all came and went perfectly synchronized. Everyone held their phones at the ready and I couldn’t help myself either.

GO HERE FOR A VIDEO OF TWO ERICKSON HELICOPTERS AND HERE FOR A VIDEO OF CANADAIR AIRPLANES FILLING UP FROM THE SEA TO FIGHT THE FIRE.

IN MY LATEST NEWSLETTER, YOU WILL SEE PHOTOS FROM MY RECENT SHORT BREAK IN THE ATHENS RIVIERA! THE SUNSET AT CAPE SOUNIO WAS FANTASTIC. SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT LORD BYRON’S CARVING OF HIS NAME AT THE BASE OF THE TEMPLE OF POSEIDON…

A PLETHORA OF FREE KINDLE BOOKS AWAIT YOU IN THE NEWSLETTER TOO!

IT’S ALL HERE AND IT’S ALL BOUND TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. ENJOY!

FREE books, sunny photos and an intrepid lady bug

In this idyllic location, my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal last weekend. Sitting in the cool breeze provided a temporary reprieve from the heatwave we’re having right now. It’s been plaguing us relentlessly for two straight weeks so far! So it was wonderful to feel cool by the water. Same reason why we went swimming in the evening this week, as opposed to the morning, and it was just heavenly. I tried going in the morning one day and just couldn’t handle sunbathing after 11 a.m! Felt like my skin was roasting so I got up and headed for home as if a tsunami were flowing in, LOL

That morning, something wonderful happened, though. I saw a lady bug floundering in the deep water and I saved it by scooping it up and taking it back to shore. Even more delightful than the whole experience was the reaction of an elderly local who watched me swim one-handed while keeping the bug out of the water with the other.

I share all the details of this incident in today’s newsletter, along with a bunch of FREE books, yes, FREE books for all! Also, sunny photos and even a video from that wonderful fish dinner by the sea. The cicadas never stopped singing from the trees. You have to have a listen!

Trust me, the newsletter is guaranteed to make you smile faster than you can say ‘calamari!’

Fast tortoises, green bean stew and other fun news from Greece. FREE books for all too!

As it turns out, Aesop lied to us all. Tortoises are a lot faster than he would have us believe. I caught this little guy sprinting down the road Usein-Bolt-style the other day. I share this tortoise encounter along with another (a rather amusing one!) in my latest newsletter.

I packed it with pictures from my life in Greece and even included my traditional recipe for green bean stew. Perfect for the summer!

The secret is to use ripe beef tomatoes. It’s so sweet-tasting it’s unreal.

Check out the newsletter to see the lot, along with a plethora of free books for all!

FREE books for all, Greek Easter, and cat trouble!

Thrilled to share my latest newsletter today where I am listing a few freebies for all as usual! I am also giving you the latest on my cats. Sissi, my one-year-old fur baby, has been particularly busy hunting for critters lately!

But before I tell you all that, here’s my best current book offer, which I’m rolling out for Greek Easter weekend. Grab The Raven Witch of Corfu box set with the whole story for only 99c!

Lizzie is not your average tourist…

Lizzie arrives on the idyllic Greek island of Corfu but far from feeling excited, her heart is heavy. She is here to claim back her twin brother who was kidnapped twenty years earlier on her previous visit. In a cave. By an evil witch.

When Lizzie sees her brother again, she receives the shock of her life. The witch has tricked her… As if this weren’t enough, Stamatis, a handsome local, steals her heart to complicate her life even further…

“It’s a step up from Mills and Boon – much more Mary Stewart than Barbara Cartland, with a bit of Gothic horror and Harry Potter-esque magic in the mix. And it’s certainly a page-turner.” ~Hilary Whitton Paipeti, author of In the Footsteps of Lawrence Durrell and Gerald Durrell in Corfu

Only 99c on Amazon US and UK for a limited time!

Social distancing with FREE books… and kittens! #catsoftwitter #catsofinstagram #freebooks

Hi, everybody! Meet my cat, Loulou (her name is short for ‘Louloudi’, which is Greek for ‘flower’.) Last September, she appeared on my doorstep, barely out of kittenhood, and just six months later she presented me with her newborns! I can hardly believe it! Her four kittens are already two weeks old, and I can’t wait for them to start exploring the garden and playing. I couldn’t hope for a better thing to cheer me up right now, with all the pandemic craziness going on.

For a little video of Loulou and the kittens, GO HERE

But I don’t have just kittens to help me pass the day happily… I also have free books! And I am thrilled to share about them today. They’re both freebies and excellent bargains.

But first, to share my own deal, a super offer for Easter! The box set of The Raven Witch of Corfu is only 99 cents for a limited time!
