MC detests everything about the spooky month of October except for her mom’s pumpkin muffins.  When she finds a muffin waiting, her excitement turns to fear as she discovers that her favorite sweet treat is instead a spicy imposter determined to wreak spooky havoc #PB #tlppitch

I am so excited to participate again in this year's #FallWritingFrenzy courtesy of the amazing team of @KaitlynLeann17 @LydiaLukidis and @ebonylynnmudd!
