How does the Autumn season influence your mood?

Welcome to the autumnal equinox, otherwise known as Fall. I love this time of year, not just for the cooler temperatures and change in the leaves, but for its inspirational ambiance as well. This is the time of transition from light to the mysteries of the dark.

The autumn season has an interesting effect on my mood. I find myself feeling more restless, wilder. I change out my flowers arrangements to beautiful gold and red leaves. I light more candles in the evenings, most in flavors of pumpkin or apple spice. I also love to sit out at night and stare up at the sky, the beautiful twinkle of thousands of stars as my only companion.

Then, there is the baking. Oh, how I love to create delicious desserts. There something about the smell of pies and spice-filled pastries. I have a cranberry upside down cake on my blog, Romance Author Lifestyle today. Feel free to check it out.

This is a romantic time of year, when magic blends with the night. I find myself reading more books on vampires and werewolves, and anything else that lurks beneath the blanket of stars. So long ago, this season was where my vampire erotica, Tasting Camilla, first came to mind.  

October 1st will be your chance to delve into the night world of a dominant master vampire and the mortal who awakens his desires. This is a short erotica story for those who wonder what lurks in the night, and what is it like to surrender yourself to those darker desires.

FALL TREATS

We're finally into Fall where yummy seasonal treats start to appear. I'm talking pumpkin pie, spice cakes and many more. One of my favorites is a soft pumpkin cookie with chocolate drizzled on top. Mmmm.  Of course, those of you who are bakers know the delicious pleasure of a warm dessert that combines nutmeg, vanilla, ginger and cinnamon as a sure delight to the senses.
There are also pumpkin coffee creamers. Has anyone tried it yet? I'd love to know what it tastes like. Might be one of those things I'd have to spike with a little liquor. Hahaha.
I've also seen a gingerbread haunted house kit. It had candy corns and various other treats to decorate a slanted house with. It was a cute idea to do with the kids. Yeah, so I want one too. I didn't buy it though, and no one can prove differently. *grin*
 What food treat are you looking forward to eating this Autumn?
Of course, if you're watching your figure, then there are pumpkin and cinnamon scented candles, bath/shower gels and air fresheners as well. I stock up on these during the season as well. When the cold wind starts to creep in, I light a pumpkin pie scented candle and relax so nicely. I recently saw a candy corn scented bath and shower gel from Philosophy. If anyone doesn't know the brand, they're the best when it comes to yummy flavored bath products. In the winter I pick up their candy cane scented products. No, I'm not affiliated with the company. I'm just a junkie for their stuff. Lol
So what are your favorite Fall treats?
