[ For my FREE book about cemetery symbols, click here.] Homemade Robby the Robot Forbidden Planet Life-Size Costume Last year, my mad scientist husband, Larry, built his own life-size Robby the Robot costume from scratch! There were no plans available for making one, so he painstakingly designed it all himself. He even learned CAD and 3D printing in order to make his own Robby the Robot!

43 Authors Giving Free Books for Halloween! Last year my pal, Patricia Lynne, had a brilliant idea. Like me, Patty loves writing books, and one day while chatting with other authors about Halloween she suddenly thought, “What if I did a blog hop where authors handed out their books for free to readers?
