Tips For Strengthening Your Relationship

Posted on April 17, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

You may be happy in your relationship currently but are also curious about where you’re heading and how to make it even more rewarding going forward. Relationships are constantly growing and evolving, and you must learn to develop and change with them.

If you’re at a standstill or looking for ways to strengthen your relationship, then you’ve come to the right place. Apply these tips, and you’ll soon be on your way to experiencing more joy as a couple and taking your bond to the next level.

Make Time for Each Other

One tip for strengthening your relationship is to make time for each other and not let your busy schedules get in the way of love. Spend quality moments as a couple and have some fun, which will be helpful, especially during the pandemic. Find activities you both enjoy doing and that put a smile on your faces. It may take you back to the time you first met and fell in love and help you to see again all the reasons why you love the person so much. You’ll find you feel more connected and in tune when you make time in your schedule for your relationship and each other.

Communicate & Talk More

Communication and exchanging ideas and opinions is essential and the foundation of any relationship. You must talk through issues or problems right away before letting them snowball and grow bigger. Strengthen your relationship by communicating truthfully and openly and always being yourself. Avoid raising your voice or letting arguments get out of control. Instead, try to find common ground and a resolution you both agree on. Communicating is a chance to get on the same page and ask for what you need in your relationship.

Make it Official

You may want to consider moving in together or getting married as a way to strengthen your relationship. Make it official by planning a wedding and committing to one another forever. You may be hesitant if you’re in a long-distance relationship and dating someone from overseas. In this case, look into obtaining a fiancé visa so your partner can come to the U.S. and you two can live a happy life together. If it’s your soul mate and someone you love, you won’t want to let them get away.

Take Care of Yourself

You can strengthen your relationship with your partner when you take good care of yourself and feel your best. You can better care for others when you put your health and wellness first. You want to be confident and not let insecurities interfere with what you two are trying to build. Practise self-care by exercising, eating well, and getting plenty of rest and sleep so you can be the ideal version of yourself when you’re with your partner. You may find you get along better and that you’re not as prone to snap at them when you’re well-rested and have a lot of natural energy. You can strengthen your relationship with your loved one by strengthening your relationship with yourself.

#BookTalk: There’s a Vampire Hunter in Town! New British Paranormal Suspense Novel

Posted on April 16, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

Several years ago I was asked by a fan when I planned to write a vampire novel set in my hometown. Not one to disappoint, I set about the task, and began to write a story from my vampire hunters’ series.

As yet untitled and still unfinished, here is an excerpt from the novel. I think this might be the year for me to return to my task.

LGBT Fantasy Book Series for Adults

Excerpt from “Fall of the Vampire“

“Dr Worthington,” the man said politely as he stood before her.

She looked up at him without smiling. He wore blue jeans and a red checked shirt. His blue eyes sparkled with power, and his short blond hair was carefully styled. She knew immediately that he was much older than the mid-twenties age range that he embodied.

“Yes,” she said, “Who are you?”

“My name is Kian,” the vampire replied, “Mr Vance is expecting you. Please, follow me.”

He turned and walked back the way he came. Jennifer looked around the room, but everyone seemed preoccupied, perhaps a little too studiously. Narrowing her eyes, she stood and followed the vampire, her fingers flexing at her sides as she resisted drawing her guns too soon. The humans were most likely enchanted not to notice the vampires. It would cause chaos if Jennifer suddenly began wielding a gun and fighting with a powerful undead creature right in front of them. She found herself walking into a long corridor at the back of the building, and she noted the exit leading out onto the car park. Kian led her up a wide flight of stairs and stopped outside a brown painted door on the landing above the pub. This was it. He knocked once and then opened the door carefully. Jennifer had to follow. Drawing her guns, she squared her shoulders, let out a breath, and stepped into the room, keeping her back to the wall and the exit in sight.

#BookTalk: Young Adult Vampire Fun in The Teen Game

Posted on April 14, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

Happy Hump Day! Here’s a little something playful to brighten your midweek slump.

It is an excerpt from my first published short story, The Teen Game, featured in Devils, Demons and Werewolves under my maiden name, Catherine Hargreaves.

Devils Demons and Werewolves Short Story Anthology featuring vampire writer Catherine Hargreaves aka LGBT Fantasy Book Writer Catherine Green at SpookyMrsGren.com mindful parenting and modern pagan lifestyle blog. — Devils Demons and Werewolves Short Story Anthology featuring vampire writer Catherine Hargreaves aka LGBT Fantasy Book Writer Catherine Green

Excerpt from “The Teen Game” by Catherine Hargreaves

His mouth was a little sloppy I have to admit but it was certainly exciting to be embraced by such a young boy after so many years! I gradually showed him how to kiss me properly using my tongue, lips and teeth and then I felt his hands slide instinctively down my body, although he carefully avoided my breasts to begin with. He was so innocent and clearly a virgin.

As much as I liked to torment myself with my little games, I was thirsty; I hadn’t fed all day and was beginning to feel weak. His pulse was beating against my skin, and I kissed in a seductive line down his jaw until my mouth hovered over that delicate place, and I inhaled his warm, sweet scent. Then I struck, quick, fast, biting a neat little hole and drinking deeply of his youthful blood. He cried out but it was muffled against my hair and I projected calming thoughts into his mind, persuading him that we were simply kissing and caressing each other, nothing more. He became still against me and when I had finished and pushed him gently away, he swayed a little and struggled to focus on my face.

When he spoke his voice was hoarse.

“Whoa that was intense! So, um, I should get you home Liz.”

#BookTalk: The Vampire of Blackpool Tells Her Story

Posted on April 11, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

How does it feel to be a vampire in the modern world? Especially a vampire that has seen the world change over centuries, been at the centre of the royal court, and now lives as a recluse in the North of England?

Here is an excerpt from my LGBT fantasy book “Vampire of Blackpool.”

Excerpt from “Vampire of Blackpool” by Catherine Green

Leaping up into the air, I struggled to ascend at first. My balance was unsteady, and my body felt like a lead weight. Gritting my teeth, I forced my mind to focus, and I managed a swift if unstable flight to the hospital. Fortunately, it was only a short distance away, but by the time I alighted behind a brick store shed in the grounds of my destination, I almost collapsed. I was starving. I was weak. I managed to walk slowly across the road and towards the double doors that led into the waiting room for the casualty department. There were ambulances and vehicles coming and going, but the pavement was strangely empty of people. All the busy life was contained within the building.

Staggering through the automatic doors, I gasped as a wave of sheer exhaustion poured over me. I was descending into bloodlust. I very nearly attacked the first person I set eyes on, but at the last moment managed to control myself. I was surrounded by beating hearts and succulent bodies. I needed blood. As I leaned against the wall, my breath rasping, my eyes wild with hunger and pain, I became aware of voices approaching as two nurses hurried to my aid.

“Here,” one woman shouted, “Let us help you.”

My Ideal Writing Day

Posted on April 9, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

I dream of having time to indulge my writing passion without distractions. Here is my ideal writing day. What is your ideal day?

There are far too many domestic distractions while my children are young, but it is getting easier now that they are growing. Where previously I snatched an hour while they napped, I now have the school day in which to work. Unfortunately, my freelance business takes precedence, alongside my new reiki therapy business, and it takes a lot of time to create social media content and make my name known in the right places. And don’t get me started on the never-ending battle to sell books.

My Ideal Writing Day

My current day goes like this: I am in the habit of sitting up late due to our being in lockdown and not having to leave the house. Sometimes I work on my laptop at night, doing tasks that don’t require a lot of thought but that still need doing. I wake up around 7am, make packed lunches for school, get dressed, wake the children, get them ready for school, take them to school. Return home and take the dog for a walk. Spend an hour or so doing ‘motherly’ and ‘housewifely’ chores which include doing the laundry, tidying the kitchen and whatever housework takes precedence on that day. I attend to our life admin, booking necessary doctors, dentist, vet appointments, order groceries and home supplies, or visit the shops for them depending on what is possible during the pandemic.

When I finish the mundane chores, I usually have a couple of hours to do what I call my ‘proper work’ before I collect the children from school. I am lucky that they have one day each week with their grandparents so I can drop them off at school and not see them until their dad brings them home at bedtime. The rest of the week is all about my fitting in what I can. I might get stuck into a task, take a break to do the afternoon school run, come home and resume my task for a couple of hours. I can’t work too late because the children need to be fed and sent to bed at a reasonable hour. If I’m not too tired I might continue working in the evening.

My time will come

It’s an easy life, I know, and I am fully aware that my time for writing will come in a few years’ time when my children can leave the house unattended and prepare their own meals. I am in no way complaining or feeling sorry for myself. Indeed, I am proud of the fact that I managed to write so many novels when the children were infants, and the only reason I don’t do much fiction writing now is because I got busy with my blog and other activities. Reiki practise takes a lot of dedicated time and is important to me. I am thankful to have a career that is fulfilling, even if the income is a little sketchy at times.

Chronic Voice Link-up: Keeping it Real in My Life

Posted on April 5, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

Welcome to April and our monthly Chronic Voice blog link-up. I am balancing my chronic eye disease and the associated pain with my need to move forward in life.

Here is my response to the monthly writing prompts.

My Chronic Pain Journey rare eye disease by Catherine Green of SpookyMrsGreen.com pagan lifestyle blog. — My Chronic Pain Journey rare eye disease by Catherine Green

Keeping it Real in My Life

SPRINGING: As we move into Spring, I feel like a weight is lifting after the long, cold winter. My garden is coming alive with new shoots and pretty flowers, the trees are growing leaves again, and somehow life doesn’t feel quite so dreary anymore. Despite a recent flare-up with my eye condition that left my face swollen and my vision blurred, I am cheerful about what we have to look forward to.

GROUNDING: While it is easy to forget my problems and my chronic pain on a good day, I am always aware that life goes on, good and bad. A good portion of my reiki lifestyle practice involves grounding work to ensure I stay connected to and aware of the world around me. Life can’t be all sunshine and flowers. Sometimes we work in the shadows too.

LUXURIATING: I decided to treat myself to some new bath and skincare products and so I am luxuriating in the scents and sensations of different bath oils, shower gels and moisturizing creams. When I take a little time with my shower routine and focus on my body, I do feel better. Sometimes all I need is a little time for selfcare and a nice home spa on a chronic pain day.

DAUNTING: We have endured a tough year during the pandemic, and it is not over yet. While we are moving out of lockdown and beginning to socialize, we now face the daunting task of being out in crowds of people again. It seems unthinkable after what has passed, and I have decided to take small steps back into socialising again. I never felt comfortable in large crowds anyway, so this “new normal” might be easier for me to cope with when we have to limit social interaction.

SUSTAINING: I am currently separated from my husband and stuck in some kind of limbo with our relationship. He refuses to accept our situation and I am trying not to make it any worse for our children, meaning I have to spend time in his company. We do get on as friends, but I struggle with my feelings about all that has passed. I am trying to sustain as healthy a relationship as possible, but I don’t know how much longer I can continue when he refuses to repair the damage he has caused.

Chronic Voice Link-Up

I joined the social network for A Chronic Voice because I needed to find people who understand what life is like with chronic illness, people like me. Today I have written a post using the April link-up prompts, to show my experience of living with a chronic pain disorder. Click here to find other blog posts from fellow chronic pain sufferers, or #spoonies as we call ourselves online.

Happy Easter! #EasterWeekend

Posted on April 4, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

Happy Easter! And Ostara Blessings. How are you spending the Easter weekend?

It’s another strange one this year. Last year we had been abruptly thrust into lockdown and were still processing the enormity of the coronavirus pandemic. I was grieving for my grandad and trying to support my children as their lives suddenly ended and they couldn’t be with their friends. We did some crafts at home trying to recreate what they should have done with Brownies and Rainbows and what they might have done at school.

Welcome, Ostara! Pagan Fertility Festival with Catherine Green of SpookyMrsGreen.com mindful parenting and modern pagan lifestyle blog. — Welcome, Ostara! Pagan Fertility Festival

Happy Easter!

This year is much the same. We are emerging from our third UK lockdown but this one is slower and steadier. It is only this week that the “stay at home” order has been lifted by government and we are finally allowed to travel outside our hometown for leisure. It means we can visit my mum, although we are currently only allowed in her garden or a public park. Since she is disabled and rarely leaves home under normal circumstances it will have to be the garden. We might see my dad at some point but by now we are feeling cautious and don’t want to rush back into socialising. I think we have become used to staying at home, so it feels strange to be with other people again.

If the weather is nice, we will most likely be in our garden and might go for a walk or a drive out somewhere. Perhaps we could visit a beach? That would be marvellous. We haven’t seen the sea since August last year, highly unusual for us. Stay safe, everyone. Let’s take it slowly as we ease out of lockdown.

#BookTalk: Vampire Seduction Games in “The Darkness of Love” by Catherine Green

Posted on April 3, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

Today I share an excerpt from my Victorian vampire novel “The Darkness of Love.”

In this Gothic adventure we learn how Marcus Scott (from the Redcliffe novels) became the man he is today.

Excerpt from “The Darkness of Love” by Catherine Green

Gregory smiled as he surveyed the poor, helpless young man in Amelia’s bed. She reported that Marcus had been excellent, strong and compliant, and extremely invigorating. Now he lay staring at Gregory with a mixture of terror and defiance on his youthful face. He swallowed nervously, unsure whether to speak, and he pulled the bed sheet higher as though to try and conceal his obvious state of undress.

“Good morning, Marcus,” Lord Stockton said as he approached the bed, “I understand you are feeling ill.”

Marcus nodded.

“I apologize, my Lord,” he replied in a hoarse voice, “this appears very improper, and it will not happen again.”

“Do not fear me, Marcus, at least not yet” Gregory replied briskly, “You may rest for a while until you are strong enough to return to your room. I do not require your assistance today; I would rather you regain your strength. Now rest, and I will send a maid with clothes and food for you. I am sure this is simply a lethargy and will pass within the day.”

“Thank you, my Lord,” Marcus replied weakly, “I am indebted to you.”

“No matter,” Gregory said, “I am aware of Amelia’s activity, and I understand that you were totally at her mercy. We will not speak of this again.”

How to Use Social Media as an Author

Posted on April 2, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

Do you tweet? Do you share posts on Facebook, have a Facebook page, Facebook group, Instagram account, Pinterest, Linked In… the list goes on.

How do we effectively use social media as Indie authors?

All are dressed in black clothes and look mysterious. 3D book cover image for "Love Hurts (A Redcliffe Novel)" from the vampire and werewolf fantasy book series by LGBT fantasy book writer Catherine Green including phone and iPad download images for tablet, iPhone, and android book readers. — LGBT fantasy book series set in Cornwall. “Love Hurts (The Redcliffe Novels)” #1 by Catherine Green.

How to Use Social Media as an Author

I cannot answer this question. I am very much using the “learn as you go” technique when it comes to social media. I did an online training course several years ago that taught me about the importance of a mailing list and which platforms were more effective to promote and sell my books. Since then we have experienced the emergence of Instagram as a serious player in the business of selling products. Where I used to spend a lot of time trying to cross-promote other authors on Twitter and Facebook, gradually I realised it was a pointless task. I was wasting my time. I didn’t know what else to do and I don’t have the funds for a comprehensive marketing and advertising plan, so I had to muddle through and experiment.

More recently I am turning to Instagram as a platform to demonstrate my books. I just need to learn how to find my audience and where to find them. I look at bestselling authors and wonder how the heck they manage to gain hundreds of thousands of dedicated followers that love every single piece of content they post. It is a mystery, known only to the industry specialists.

It all comes down to money

You see, that is where my problem lies. I am a bloody good writer. I haven’t yet found a large publishing company or a decent agent that likes my books. I was offered a publishing contract many years ago from one of the big publishers, but they charged a large amount of money for the service. I simply couldn’t afford it at the time. The bookselling game comes down to one thing: Money. If you have access to funds, then you can sell millions of books. If you don’t, then you splash around in the shallows and never quite reach that magical island of fame and fortune. I refuse to give up. I may be focusing my work on the lifestyle blog and my reiki business right now, but my novels will always be a part of me. Redcliffe is not finished yet, and neither am I.

What advice can you give to this confused and frustrated author? All comments and personal experiences welcome…

Ostara Tarot Card Reading for Easter

Posted on March 31, 2021 by SpookyMrsGreen

This weekend we celebrate Easter, and in pagan circles Ostara, the festival of rebirth.

Here is a daily Tarot card reading for guidance during the new season.

Image of Gilded Tarot cards on a purple cloth. Ostara Tarot Reading by professional Tarot reader Catherine Green of SpookyMrsGreen.com pagan lifestyle blog. — Ostara Tarot Reading by Catherine Green

Tarot Card Reading

1, Works – Ace of Cups

You have been on a long journey where your job/career is concerned. This month sees the culmination of your efforts in terms of training and/or apprenticeship. Now you are older and wiser, and this will serve you well as you progress. You may share your professional expertise with confidence, knowing that you truly understand your trade.

2, Home – Eight of Wands

We feel a sense of freedom now that lockdown restrictions are easing. This pandemic isn’t over yet. Are you smart enough to avoid the crowds and keep to small gatherings or stay home for a while longer? Don’t be a sheep. Lead by example.

3, Unexpected – Queen of Pentacles

It might seem strange that you feel secure when so many people are struggling. Be assured that you deserve this gift and you earned it fair and square. Look out for a surprise competition win or something similar.

4, Your Role – Five of Cups

Are you being honest with yourself? Never mind the other side of the story. This has been a long, hard battle and you know there is more to come. Feel the pain, allow those emotions to pass. Then you may continue on your quest. You are the warrior in this scenario, and you must make the decisions.

5, Outcome – Four of Swords

You might feel some uncertainty as we move forward, and the world begins to open up. Try not to worry. As long as you are careful you will be OK. Take precautions and get back out there. We must move on and face the next hurdle.

Summary

I feel that this Tarot card reading is all about our facing up to a future with Covid. The pandemic is still raging, and we are still battling to get the virus under control. While it is tempting to throw caution to the wind, sometimes we must retreat in order to protect ourselves and those we care for. Yes, it is hard, but we can do it. There is a future for us if we responsibly manage what is happening now.
